Pat McAfee, the ESPN host currently embroiled in a feud with a executive for alleged “sabotage,” said Monday that his relationship with the network is “strong” and that he doesn’t regret any of his comments. On Friday’s broadcast of “The Pat McAfee Show,” the former NFL punter said ESPN head of studio production Norby Williamson was leaking false information about the show to media outlets. “There are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN,” McAfee said on Friday. “More specifically, I believe Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program.” He continued his ire on Monday, but didn’t specifically mention Williamson’s name when the topic was brought up on his daily, three-hour-long talk show. “There was some comments about a particular person at ESPN that I only made on the YouTube and ESPN+ show. It wasn’t on linear TV,” McAfee said about the 2pm ET hour that doesn’t air on ESPN’s cable network where he talked about Williamson last week. “I didn’t know anyone was going to hear it.” McAfee continued that his remarks were a “topic of discussion” over the weekend and the only thing he was “super bummed out about” was that ESPN’s president of content Burke Magnus, who oversees the studio shows, “was made to look bad because of what I did and how I did it.”
