You never want a story or announcement to get out before it’s supposed to.
Someone should try telling that to Peyton Manning, since he apparently broke the news of George Strait and Parker McCollum’s Texas concert a little too early in front of a little too many people.
Pat McAfee talked about the slip up on his show today, revealing that Manning was interviewing both himself and McCollum at a charity gala when the former NFL quarterback let a huge, secretive concert announcement slip out:
“We were at Peyton Manning’s Children Hospital Gala and Peyton Manning had a Q&A with me and Parker up there on stage. And Peyton had his questions written out in front of him, goes off script a little bit and says, ‘You’re also doing a show with George Strait down at Texas A&M right?’
And Parker goes, ‘Umm, that has not been announced yet, but yes.’ Peyton immediately afterwards goes, ‘Just stick to the f*****g script Peyton’ backstage.”
Peyton’s gala, which was put together to benefit Peyton Manning’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, took place on March 8th. That means that the Super Bowl winning QB broke the Strait-McCollum concert news to everyone in attendance 11 days before anyone else knew about it.
George Strait made the official announcement for the exciting summer stadium show on March 19th. The event will be the first ever at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field:
“All roads lead to College Station. TEXAS, George will play the FIRST EVER concert at Kyle Field on June 15. Joining him are fellow Texans Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman.
This will be the one and only show in Texas this year. Tickets on sale Thursday, March 28 at 10 AM CT.”
It was good timing for Pat McAfee to bring up the story on his show considering that the tickets for the Texas show go on sale tomorrow morning. The media personality even called Parker McCollum live on air to talk a little bit more about the hilarious Peyton Manning mishap, but McAfee just ended up talking about how good-looking Parker McCollum was.
Classic Pat McAfee Show right there…
