Pat McAfee played his entire NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts. He still calls Indianapolis home and remains a fan of the team. Understandably, he is not Carson Wentz’s biggest fan.
One of McAfee’s friends and regular guests, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, was on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday and McAfee put him on the spot. He wanted to hear Orlovsky justify his past praise and high expectations for Carson Wentz. It started with McAfee asking Orlovsky if he would always point to Wentz’s stats as justification that he is good.
“I don’t think Carson was great and I didn’t think Carson was terrible,” Orlovsky said when talking about the quarterback’s one season in Indianapolis. “I thought Carson was like solid.”
“Did you watch? You didn’t watch games?” McAfee responded.
“No,” Orlovsky said. “Are you talking to me like a person does on Twitter going ‘Oh, you’ve probably never seen a Colts game before.’ You’re right. I’ve never watched a snap, guys.”
After some teasing, Dan Orlovsky shouted “HE’S NOT MY GUY!” in reference to Carson Wentz. That sent groans through The Pat McAfee Show studio.
“Dan, it was tough to watch some mornings, you know, when you were doing your entire thing, your ‘I’m gonna be the coach of the Eagles’ thing whenever you were talking about Carson,” McAfee said.
Orlovsky admitted that he had become too emotionally invested in the quarterback’s success at one point. He blamed his wife, who is a lifelong Eagles fan.
For Pat McAfee and other Colts fans, the Wentz experience was full of high highs and low lows. It is that fandom that made McAfee so critical of Orlovsky’s praise for Carson Wentz.
“I don’t know how you watched his games and thought ‘that’s a guy I’d like to quarterback a team that I’m a fan of,’” McAfee said to Orlovsky.
