Pat McAfee gets multi-year deal worth $30 million annually

    To quote an old proverb, it pays to be a former punter.

    The Pat McAfee Show apparently secured the bag, as the kids say. He signed a four-year deal that pays the show around $30 million annually, according to Shams (who oddly had the numbers for something outside of his wheelhouse, FWIW).

    Not sure how much of that will directly go to McAfee but it's clear this deal has massive ramifications for sports media.

    The money spigot hasn't dried up yet from the gamblin' apps. I guess that now makes McAfee the big dog on Mad Dog Sports Radio.

    Also, how much of that money will McAfee actually see himself? Couple mil/year?

    And that's not me criticizing him at all. I don't listen to the show so I'm mostly unfamiliar. But while this is life-altering money for McAfee, I doubt he gets "fuck you" money from this deal.

    Dude made $18 million punting for the Colts. His life has already been altered.

    Cool. I had no idea he was a professional football player.

    A watershed day for the woah dood set. They stand agape because it is their default posture.

    The show is terrible in quality but he brings in the guests and puts the asses in the seats. You can't deny him that.

    I’d like to get month-altering money. Maybe week-altering. OK, today would be fine. You got money for a sandwich, buddy?

    I can't listen to this guy for more than 20 seconds. He's proof positive that 98 percent of sports fans are mouth-breathing morons.
