The Pat McAfee Show 8-28: Le'Veon Bell
On today’s show, Pat is joined by Nick, Digs, Todd, and Zito as they recap what happened over the weekend, including Pat wondering if the Patriots might be in trouble this year after a couple of lackluster showings into the preseason, and Tom Brady’s recent drama with ending an interview with WEEI’s Kirk & Callahan after being asked questions about his fitness guru, Alex Guerrero. Pat also recounts his hilarious time at a Pentecostal church over the weekend and witnessing the pastor delivering the Holy Spirit to people first hand. Also joining the show is the CEO of The Sports Entertainment group and the agent of Le’Veon Bell, Adisa Bakari. They chat about working to get Le’Veon a new deal during the offseason, how exactly the franchise tag works in this particular situation and what will happen if the Steelers try to franchise him again, if time off during the preseason has hurt his market value, what he thinks about Le’Veon’s rap career, and he talks a couple of the potential teams interested in Le’Veon if they are unable to work out a deal with the Steelers (23:19-40:53). Later, IndyCar and now NASCAR driver and friend of the show, Conor Daly, calls in to talk about his crazy weekend involving being dropped by his chief sponsor, Lilly Diabetes, what it was like getting behind the wheel in a NASCAR and how it differs from driving an IndyCar, and what his plans for the future are with this season coming to a close (43:32-53:50). Come laugh with us, cheers.
