The Pat McAfee Show is on break after wrapping up the 2022 NFL season, and McAfee took some time on Tuesday while on vacation to look back at how the last year unfolded.
McAfee tweeted some of the highlights of the past year, including moving the show into their new headquarters and studio dubbed the FanDuel ThunderDome.
Additionally, McAfee couldn’t help but mention the fact that he’s being sued by former Packers quarterback Brett Favre for defamation.
“Biggest year yet (and) it all ended with a hilarious lawsuit,” McAfee wrote.
Favre has been embroiled in a scandal stemming from a misappropriation scheme involving money intended for welfare recipients in Mississippi. Favre has been linked to the scandal through leaked text messages showing him lobbying state officials for money to build athletic facilities at the University of Southern Mississippi. He has not been indicted or charged with any crimes, but the Hall-of-Famer was thrust into the spotlight because of those text messages.
McAfee joked about Favre multiple times on his show over the last several months, referring to Favre as the “Sticky Fingers Bandit” – a reference to the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
McAfee has made sure to not condemn or convict Favre, throwing the word “allegedly” out there when discussing the scandal. But Favre’s lawyers haven’t thought it was very humorous.
McAfee has received letters from Favre’s attorneys demanding a public apology on his show and that any video in which Favre was discussed be deleted from YouTube and social media. Pat has stood his ground and told Favre and his lawyers “I’ll see you in court, pal.”
