I mean, let’s be honest… the College Football National Championship game sucked.
And it pretty much sucked from the very beginning.
Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs made the TCU Horned Frogs look like, to quote the great Charlie Sheen, “droopy-eyed armless children” on that football field Monday night.
By the first quarter, I was looking for something else to watch… until I flipped over to ESPN 2… where Pat McAfee and the boys were hosting the alternate broadcast.
And it was ELECTRIC.
Funny, engaging, a little bit obnoxious, but hey, that’s the point… to be ENTERTAINING. It was a snooze fest of a game… but I was thoroughly entertained with Pat’s broadcast right from the beginning.
Barely even into the game and he was already hitting the fans with this one-liner:
“With where you guys are standing down there, the Georgia Bulldogs are about to come right in your face.”
And then tearing into SoFi Stadium, which apparently was taking on water like the Titanic:

But the final send off was a work of art… listen to this:
“I personally would like to say thank you to the college football community for allowing me to penetrate you this season and be inside of you all year.”
I found it hilarious… does that mean I have the sense of humor of a 8th grader? I don’t care.
Naturally, people took issue with the suggestive (and hilarious) nature of the comment. But guess what… you don’t have to watch it. There’s was a regular ol’ boring broadcast over there on ESPN… change the channel.
Nevertheless, the pearl clutching was out in full force:
Disney is ok with this?

Not sure was worse the score or Pat Mcafe broadcast. Omg. Had it on for 1 min. Rather watch the cowboys play

Wow! ESPN has really gone trashy! I am not impressed. And they let him join to Dave GameDay ratings! I would say this move was not successful!
