ESPN sports personality Pat McAfee has fans buzzing after posting a mysterious message on his X/Twitter account.
On July 1, ESPN announced that Pat McAfee was taking a two-week hiatus from his beloved “The Pat McAfee Show” program due to the Worldwide Leader in Sports coverage of the 2024 Wimbledon tournament.
On Saturday evening, McAfee posted a cryptic message that simply read, “Man.. I can’t wait to get back on a microphone.”
Pat McAfee’s post led to a handful of mixed responses from fans. Some wondered if he was referencing a potential return to WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” program tomorrow night:
Last year, McAfee left his FanDuel contract to sign a lucrative five-year deal worth $85 million with ESPN. The Worldwide Leader in Sports is getting a good return on their investment from a business standpoint, with McAfee’s show bringing in hundreds of thousands of viewers per episode.
Long before he began his successful sports media career, Pat McAfee was a punter for the Indianapolis Colts from 2009 to 2016. Indy made Super Bowl 44 in his rookie year, though they fell to Drew Brees’ New Orleans Saints 31-17. McAfee retired in 2017 after requiring multiple knee procedures.
Pat McAfee Has A Busy Few Months Ahead
Aside from hosting his show, McAfee occasionally works for WWE as a commentator and wrestler. He is also an analyst for ESPN’s popular “College GameDay” program, though it’s unclear if the former NFL punter will return to the show for the 2024 season.
McAfee’s show is at its best during the NFL season, and we’re now less than two months away from kickoff for 2024. Aside from his enticing football analysis, McAfee may also return to WWE and/or “College GameDay” in the coming months.
The 2024 NFL season kicks off on Sept. 5, with Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
