Pat McAfee has gone on the warpath at ESPN amid rumors that his recent interview with Aaron Rodgers caused some turmoil within the company.
Speaking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ this Friday, the former NFL kicker went after Norby Williamson, calling the executive out as he accused him of trying to “sabotage” the show.
Williamson replaced Stephanie Druley as the head of NFL programming last June and also oversees operations on the MLB, NHL, golf, tennis, combat sports, and investigative journalism.
It appears there is no love lost between McAfee and Williamson as the former put the latter on blast in a scathing rant, alleging he has been leaking incorrect information. McAfee admitted that his show is being watched more than ever before because of its switch to The Worldwide Leader in Sports. And, after expressing his gratitude, he tore into Williamson.
“There are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN,” he said, “more specifically, I believe Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program. I’m not 100 percent sure, that’s just seemingly the only human that has information, and then somehow that information gets leaked, and it’s wrong.”
McAfee then went on to state just how much respect he has for Williamson, which is zero, recalling when “that guy” stood him up in 2018.

This comes in the wake of Rodgers implying that Jimmy Kimmel would be named on the “Epstein list” earlier this week while speaking on said show. McAfee later came out with an apology, but the comments are believed to have caused lots of friction at the network.
