Pat McAfee’s spirited Friday episode of his daily “The Pat McAfee Show” was met with mixed reactions, but it’s clear where Ryan Leaf stands on it. 

Leaf, a former college football analyst on ESPN, alleged in a post on X that McAfee was “high 80% of the time on his TV show it’s said!! [sic]”

The comment was made in response to a post by quarterback coach Quincy Avery criticizing McAfee’s wild show from Dublin, Ireland last week, where he was chugging beers on the air while broadcasting from J.R. Mahon’s Pub. 

“No one thinks it’s wild someone can get hammered drunk on ESPN & everyone act like it’s cool?” Avery wrote on X about the McAfee broadcast Friday night. 

Leaf chimed in the following day, seeming to take a shot at the amount of money McAfee is being paid for his daily show to air on ESPN. 

It’s unclear where exactly Leaf was getting the information that was the basis of his claim on social media. 

Leaf’s issues with McAfee run deeper than just the show on Friday.

Leaf, the second overall pick in 1998, had claimed last week that the popular personality had partially been responsible for ESPN ousting him in the middle of the 2023 college football season.

In an appearance on “Outkick Hot Mic,” Leaf alleged that McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit had played a role in his ousting after Leaff got into a feud with the two over comments they made about conference realignment. 

“The coordinated producer calls me and I said, ‘Well, you’re not making this decision. Who’s making this decision?’ He said, ‘Well, someone above my pay grade.’ And I said, ‘Well, you need to have someone above your pay grade call me,’” Leaf claimed. “So they did and by that time I had confirmed with people on why it happened. So when I got them on the phone, I was just like, ‘Yeah, I think this is about right. I think you and I, we don’t have shared values and so I think this is probably the proper decision.’

“I get it, I get it. You got $85 million people (McAfee’s contract) scaring you. You got to fall in line. I understand that, on my end of things.”

During the interview last Tuesday, he also called McAfee and Herbstreit “overly sensitive” and “narcissists.”
