We're going to play Naughty or Tice with Nate Tice and Billy Gill of God Bless Football to get our draft information. Billy is looking through papers right now wondering what is Naughty or Tice.
You know though. It's one of those games you hear it, you know.
I think Billy just found out that he's executive producing that segment. We'll get to it in a moment. Also, I still want to get to...
What are the recent controversies involving McAfee, Shannon Sharpe, and ESPN?
WrestleMania because we have not and I also want to get to the stuff happening with McAfee and Shannon Sharp because wrestling happened yesterday on ESPN and if you're welcoming in the age of wrestlers and wrestling and it's all content and it's all drama what happened on McAfee's show is about some inner office tensions there that, super interesting to me, watching the athletes come and try and run off the journalists. Like Stephen A. Smith isn't gonna, Stephen A. Smith might be the coolest of us, but it's a new time, and McAfee and Shannon Sharpe are in the $100 million game. Before, I'm gonna let play out some of the Shannon Sharpe stuff because there's time to know what's true or what's not. I'm just going to address what I saw happen this weekend, which was strategic. Over the weekend, it leaks, Shannon Sharpe contract up worth $100 million, whatever the numbers were. And I'm like, why would that come out on the weekend? Oh.
Because then everything that comes after that can be framed as money grab or whatever it is that people do when they're arguing about money and now accusations of rape inside of a consensual relationship. The money was leaked first. And then you get what you got yesterday from Shannon Sharp. Busby's a lawyer that does these things, but I'm not going to... try and talk about the particulars of who's right, who's wrong. I just thought it was interesting that purposely, money is leaked on the weekend, and I'm like, why is this happening now? Who's doing this and why? And then what happens the next day? As you find that McAfee and Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith are becoming a class of journalists, celebrity, entertainer, it's all wrestling, wrestling's going to Netflix, Tony Khan knows how to sell stuff in the streaming service, ESPN's gonna get into the wrestling fighting, information business, all of it mixed together.
What happened yesterday on ESPN is something I've never seen watching ESPN in my lifetime. Where Pat McAfee, who's independent, as part of a wrestling promotion where he stars because he's a monster media talent, an event that Mike Ryan goes with his buddies to and that Zaslow wants to cover, McAfee, a giant star, has a wrestling superstar manager on, and that guy's too hot for television. Like, what he's doing cannot be controlled by Disney. Wrestling has arrived to Disney, and it's like, here's what it looks like. We're in the middle of your game, and we're going to say McAfee's smoking pot, and he's mother bleeping Stephen A. Smith. Let's play that sound so that people can hear as McAfee gets sheepish, and they all do wrestling on television in a way that's great if you like drama and entertainment and wrestling. wrestling storyline.
Do you care about the opinions of people who are irrelevant? You don't care about the opinions of most people who are very relevant in your life. You don't care what the opinions of the people who pay you. They sit there and they go, hey, Mr. McAfee, don't talk about Shannon Sharp on the air today. And you go, I talk about anything I want. I'm Pat McAfee. Watch me swing my schlong all over the place. They go, McAfee, don't talk about your podcast on the air. What do you do? I'm King Schlong. Watch me, Pat McAfee. This is on you. This is about you, not me, not me. Last night, when the roast was over, and you and I were out back, and you're going, wise man. By the way, it's puff, puff, pass.
How is professional wrestling influencing sports media today?
Not puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, chase down the gummy. Puff, puff, puff, puff, pass. Right? And you go, wise man. You know Stephen A. Smith really sucks, right? And I go, I love Stephen A. The man calls me the goat.
