Pat McAfee reads the comments.  The polarizing ESPNer scrolled through X to see what fans Ralph Garr Jersey  thought of on Monday, and some responses made it seem like fans wanted to change the channel due to his appearance.  McAfee screen-shotted three tweets about his involvement, alongside a GIF of comedian Tim Robinson looking oddly at a cell phone with the caption, What the hell.  Pat McAfee during introductions.  Getty Images  Good morning beautiful people Fresh off a break.. got a chance to do something new with a different sport.., McAfee wrote Tuesday morning.  I really enjoyed it and think it went exactly how all parties envisioned it.. lets see what X has to say  Explore More  Said the first tweet: Kids dont realize it, but you used to be able to turn on ESPN and not see Stephen A.

Ladies and gentlemen: Big Dumper! Cal Raleigh!  McAfee usually has not veered into MLB waters, instead sticking to wrestling, NFL and college football, and one fan told him perhaps he should not overexpose himself.  Cant lie fam, I rock with you but this starting to become recurring.
