Overview

• Pat McAfee announced his show will not broadcast from the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, citing logistical obstacles and a lack of respect from NFL event organizers.
• McAfee specifically criticized NFL 'middle management' for creating unnecessary hurdles, despite his show's positive relationship with the league's higher-ups.
• The decision to skip the draft comes after McAfee faced similar frustrations while hosting his show from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
• McAfee and his team will instead broadcast from their Indianapolis studio, foregoing what could have been a significant event given co-host A.J. Hawk's ties to the Green Bay Packers.
• This controversy follows other recent challenges for McAfee, including backlash over comments made during a WWE event and subsequent death threats targeting his family.
