Ever since leaving the NFL in 2017, Pat McAfee has transformed himself into a media sensation. The former two-time Pro Bowl punter has dabbled in various roles, from stand-up comedian and sports commentator for WWE, NFL, and college football, to hosting his own podcast.
In October of last year, McAfee signed a lucrative five-year, $85 million contract with ESPN. This deal made him a prominent figure on multiple platforms, including College GameDay, and brought his popular podcast, The Pat McAfee Show, to the network.
McAfee’s charisma and sharp commentary have contributed to his rising fame post-NFL. He has proven that his talents extend far beyond the football field.
In a recent post on his X account, McAfee expressed his eagerness to get back in front of a microphone, leaving viewers in suspense with his statement, “Man.. I can’t wait to get back on a microphone.”

While McAfee did not specify the reason for his anticipation, fans quickly began to speculate. Some suggested it could be in response to Serena Williams’ jab at him during the ESPYs over his past comments about Caitlin Clark.
Others believed it might be related to the recent events involving former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
However, the most straightforward explanation is that The Pat McAfee Show has been on a two-week hiatus, with the last episode airing on June 28. The show is set to return on Monday, July 15, and McAfee’s excitement likely stems from the impending return of his show.
After the two-week break, McAfee is expected to have a lot to discuss, whether it involves recent events in the sports world or other topics. Given his polarizing nature and candid style, Monday’s episode promises to be a must-watch. McAfee has never been one to hold back his opinions, and his return to the microphone is highly anticipated by his fans and critics alike.
