Pat McAfee is leaving FanDuel for ESPN, and details are now out on the agreement he’s reached to become a full-time media personality for the worldwide leader.
McAfee’s contract is worth $85 million over five years, a perceived pay cut from the four-year deal at FanDuel that was worth $120 million, according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.
ESPN declined comment when reached by Marchand, and McAfee skirted the Marchand report during a conversation as well.
“Interesting number,” McAfee told The Post.

The National Football League has a strength of schedule formula that’s simple to understand. Just take the opponents’ records from the previous season, add up the wins and losses and calculate a percentage for all 17 opponents. In fantasy football, rather than using team records, we use the number of PPR points allowed by defenses against a single position the previous season and rank the teams/players according to the average.
The numbers, admittedly, can be very close in many cases.
For example, the most favorable quarterback total (17.9) for this season is just 2.
Jaylen Brown reached a new low in the NBA Playoffs, and leaves the Celtics with big questions.
On the very first possession of Game 7 between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle attacking the basket. Tatum battled through to log 42 minutes, but was clearly limited, taking just 13 shots, routinely grimacing and lacking his usual mobility. The injury thrust Jaylen Brown in a grander offensive role, both with regard to usage rate and on-ball responsibilities.
MIRAMAR BEACH, Florida – For the first time in 2023, SEC coaches from all different sports were together, some would even speak their mind to the media in attendance. While some of the most powerful people in college athletics like Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher roamed the Hilton hotel hallways Tuesday, the majority of folks were just in town for vacation.
This particular aspect of SEC Spring meetings is what makes it special, or pretty crazy to others.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Anthony Bass is a Christian man who doesn’t agree with Target’s recent decision to work with a trans satanist or Bud Light’s recent partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.
While it’s understandable for Bass or anyone else with religious values to disagree with the two companies’ in-your-face trans and other LGBTQ marketing plays, he’s learning that publicly criticizing the woke agenda is never the right move.
Umpires in Major League Baseball should always try their best to do their jobs correctly and not become a part of the game’s story. That, however, is often very hard for a lot of the guys in blue because we’re seeing more and more of them either impacting games with terrible calls or acting in an unprofessional manner.
That happened again Tuesday night in Houston when home plate umpire Jerry Layne got in the face of Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña after he seemed to calmly voice his displeasure with a bad-called strike.
The Dodgers host the Nationals for the third of a three-game series today at Dodger Stadium.
Here’s why we are taking the over.
The Nationals’ Patrick Corbin is a pitcher we targeted early in the season, but he seemed to get back on track in May with four consecutive starts with only two earned runs allowed. Corbin went off the rails again last week, though, vs. the Royals, allowing six earned runs across 6⅓ innings. Corbin’s xERA for the season is now at 5.76 — nearly a full point higher than his actual ERA of 4.
With any meal you cook at mass quantity, there are going to be some really delicious corners of the serving tray and some hard bits of pasta that were completely untouched by boiling water. So went my first foray into 100 predictions 100 days out from the regular season, which debuted in May 2022. I correctly predicted that an Andrew Luck unretirement rumor would leak (there were two), and also projected the Panthers, Texans and Bears would be in contention for the No.
Aaron Rodgers is quickly becoming the King of New York. And if you thought that was a crown worn by Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso or hip-hop artist Pop Smoke before his untimely death, you obviously haven’t been paying attention.
Because in the five weeks since he was traded to the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers has been on a whirwind coronation tour.
Rodgers celebrated his trade to the Jets by attending the first-round NHL playoff game between the Devils and Rangers at Madison Square Garden with several teammates. He got a rousing ovation.
Many have already penciled in Bijan Robinson as one of the best running backs in the NFL after the Falcons selected him with the No. 8 pick in April’s draft.
Robinson starred in college as a running back who can both block and receive, so that projection might come true. But the incoming rookie will have to prove his all-around skill set transfers to the NFL, and it won’t be easy in a league where many running backs delivered breakout seasons in 2022.
