Pat McAfee’s post-football career continues to get better for him every single year.
The former Indianapolis Colts punter and current sports media personality is being targeted by Amazon to host a show similar to ESPN’s “ManningCast” for Thursday Night Football, according to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports. However, McCarthy made notes that it would be unclear if McAfee would be able to host a weekly TNF show because he is busy with his other jobs, including hosting his own SiriusXM radio show and serving as a color commentator for WWE.
McAfee would be open to hosting a MegaCast as it would “fit what he’s looking for,” McCarthy reported.
The Monday Night Football “ManningCast,” hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning has been a huge success and has had a star-studded lineup that included the likes of Tom Brady, LeBron James, Marshawn Lynch, and many more.
The show averaged 1.58 million viewers, per Sports Business Journal. McAfee’s YouTube channel for his radio show also has 1.86 million subscribers and he receives thousands of views on his videos. His YouTube and Twitter following only grows every single year.
This would be a huge landing for Amazon.
