He and I have engaged in some nasty battles over his 33-year WFAN then SiriusXM radio career. But credit where credit is richly deserved:<\/p>\n<p>Despite starring in a medium that Ms. Barth would have recognized for increasingly aiming lower in a desperate, unamusing attempt to attract desensitized young males, Russo has always kept it clean.<\/p>\n<p>So it comes as an incongruity that Russo\u2019s SiriusXM namesake, Mad Dog Sports Radio, has become the weekday early afternoon home to \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show.\u201d As a former NFL punter and kicker at West Virginia University \u2014 WVU the student-athletic home of NFL mainstay Adam \u201cPacman\u201d Jones \u2014 McAfee relishes every second as an opportunity to be heard as a bottom-feeding, paid pig.<\/p>\n<p>Only marginally a sports show, McAfee exploits sports and SiriusXM to spew and spit any and every unprintable vulgarity that his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arently limited mind can conjure. Everything must either end and\/or begin with \u201cf\u2013k,\u201d sandwiched around \u201cmotherf\u2014kers\u201d \u2014 a telltale sign of limited communicative skills and executive decisions that seek drooling morons as steady customers.<\/p>\n<p>McAfee is 33 going on 13.<\/p>\n<p>Fact is, McAfee\u2019s \u201cshow\u201d is so polluted with untreated detritus there\u2019s no knowing if he has any legitimate broadcasting talent. If he believes that working from the stench of a dumpster remains the modern formula to national radio success, he may be right \u2014 even if that plan has grown yellow from overuse.<\/p>\n<p>He must be thrilled to have his show ambush listeners of all ages at high noon through a sports show on a sports network. His <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> channel page, which pitches his Mad Dog Radio show, proudly and prominently displays the word \u201cF\u2013K\u201d and other crudities. And even when praising the religious sincerity of Tim Tebow, McAfee threw in a bunch of obligatory, X-rated paint removers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Chris Russo; Pat McAfee\" class=\"wp-image-17433093 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Chris-Russo-Pat-McAfee.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Chris-Russo-Pat-McAfee.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Chris-Russo-Pat-McAfee.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Chris-Russo-Pat-McAfee.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Chris-Russo-Pat-McAfee.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Chris Russo; Pat McAfee<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty (2)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s where Russo comes in, or should.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether McAfee finds even a flake of success, it\u2019s inconceivable that Russo now easily indulges, let alone approves, of such content on his channel. And as long as Russo has never been shy to pick a fight, McAfee\u2019s show should be in both his professional and personal crosshairs.<\/p>\n<p>As long as McAfee\u2019s \u201cshow\u201d is heard on a network named for Russo, it\u2019s well worth Russo\u2019s time, thought and activity to blow the whistle on a zero-upside show and a smug, lowest-road host who, by short extension and network identification, represents Russo.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no way Russo is at ease with McAfee\u2019s content. Russo should raise holy hell. Or, in his case, holy heck.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the worst McAfee could do, curse him out on the air?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Mr_Met_be_next_to_have_to_drop_the_Mr\"><\/span>Will Mr. Met be next to have to drop the Mr.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Make mine mashed: So last week they came for Mr. Potato Head. Seriously. The Hasbro toy is adding a gender-less version, a toy potato now of unknown sexual preference and identification. That should solve everything. What about between consenting adult non-gender toy potatoes? None of our business.<\/p>\n<p>Next to go, according to unreliable sources, will be Mr. Met. Many beloved team mascots will be removed in order to enact social and historical re-education and revision \u2014 the secret to curing our ills. Some have already been forced to walk the plank.<\/p>\n<p>As Mr. Met\u2019s employment and legacy are threatened, we remember that the comedian Emo Philips grew up with the nickname, Mr. Baseball, he explained, \u201cbecause of the stitches in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Some folks, especially those who publicly pipe their opinions on the state of the world, are never held accountable \u2014 certainly not as a matter of self-inspection \u2014 for their actions.<\/p>\n<p>In Charles Barkley\u2019s latest commercial endorsement ads, he appears huge, his stomach standing guard over his toes. He\u2019s bigger than a bread box \u2026 factory.<\/p>\n<p>That would be his business had he not made it his business. He was paid to star in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of Weight Watchers commercials, how it worked for him.<\/p>\n<p>Not that I\u2019d dare accuse Barkley of doing anything for a buck, but those FanDuel come-on sports gambling ads he also starred in came after his admission that he\u2019s a problem gambler \u2014 and with an unpaid $400,000 Vegas casino marker to prove it.<\/p>\n<p>But Barkley remains a go-to TV and radio expert in identifying phonies.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>ESPN was at it again last week, dishonestly claiming partial but lead credit for scoops that were the work of others or that everyone else was granted. Thus, the Tiger Woods car crash was followed by police sources \u201ctell ESPN,\u201d when those sources told everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Then it gave itself credit for the story about LeBron James\u2019 son, Bronny, having knee surgery, only to include at the very bottom that the \u201cLos Angeles Daily <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> first reported\u201d the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>This journalistic thievery in ESPN\u2019s unconditional pursuit of self-promotion should\u2019ve ceased years ago, after a network memo was circulated that in essence read, \u201cWe\u2019ve never done that and it\u2019s time we stopped doing it.\u201d Instead it has grown worse.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Britton_not_as_hard_on_everyone\"><\/span>Britton not as hard on everyone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Zack Britton isn\u2019t happy about sharing a locker room and team with domestic assault-perp and fellow pitcher Domingo German? OK. But what about Yankees teammate and fellow pitcher, the previously suspended Aroldis Chapman \u2014 who, though not charged, allegedly threatened his girlfriend with a gun?<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Kobe Bryant\u2019s widow, Vanessa, is upset that vulgar, N-wording, women-degrading Meek Mill rapped and recorded an \u201cinsensitive\u201d line about her husband\u2019s death in a helicopter? So she\u2019s good with the rest of his lyrics?<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Gone but never forgotten: As of Saturday morning, Michigan basketball was 17-1, 11-0 in the Big Ten. But one college basketball expert widely declared Michigan\u2019s hiring of Juwan Howard as head coach in May 2019 to be a ridiculous, rotten choice. He went by the name of Mike Francesa.<\/p>\n<p>Given the state of baseball, it shouldn\u2019t be too long before ESPN buys the rights to Rob Manfred\u2019s annual announcement as to which ball MLB will use that season. Will Manfred wait a while before again unnaturally manipulate the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and its records with a ball designed to mass-produce home runs? Or will he at least start off a season with a gentler version?<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>He may not always play good positional hockey, but when Islanders forward Mathew Barzal has the puck, no more than two feet of space needed, there is no Ranger, Devil, Net or Knick more worth watching.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Bless his soul, new Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor wants to be counted among those who reject analytics for their failure to stick with the practical, here-and-now of games in play. In other words, Lindor would never try to turn a win into a loss based on choosing what he can\u2019t know versus what he\u2019s watching.
