Pat McAfee has posted a cryptic 'Scarface' clip on social media amid controversy at ESPN after claiming network executive Norby Williamson is trying to sabotage his show in an extraordinary broadcast.
McAfee, who is paid $17 million a year by ESPN, shared footage of Tony Montana's epic rant about lies and truths on X (Twitter) just a day after singling out Williamson on Friday's episode of his three-hour daily show .
'What are you looking at?' You're all a bunch of fucking assholes,” Montana, played by Al Pacino, said in the 1983 film. “You know why? Don't have the guys to be what you want to be? You need people like me.
“You need people like me so you can point your fingers and say, 'That's the bad guy.' So… what does that make you? Good? You're no good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even if I lie.'
McAfee, who was spotted signing autographs at Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of Colt-Texans, didn't add a caption to his post, but it's safe to assume the former NFL punter is referring to his ongoing issues with a high position at ESPN.
Pat McAfee is at a crossroads with ESPN high-ups over claims an executive is 'sabotaging' his show
McAfee single-handedly called out ESPN's former exec Norby Williamson on live TV on Friday
The drama at the network began after Aaron Rodgers baselessly suggested on McAfee's show last week that Jimmy Kimmel — his own eponymous show's late-night show on ABC — could appear on a since-released list of people associated with the convict pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel is not listed.
The next day, McAfee learned of his show's review and dared to involve Williamson, ESPN's executive editor and head of event and studio production.
“We are very grateful and we understand that more people are watching this show than ever before,” McAfee said at the start of the rant on live TV on Friday. 'We are very grateful to the ESPN people for their hospitality.
“Now there are people actively trying to sabotage us from ESPN – more specifically, I believe Norby Williamson is the man trying to sabotage our program.”
The former gambler admitted that he had no concrete evidence to support his accusation.
ESPN released a statement on Saturday regarding its position regarding the feud.
“No one is more committed and invested in the success of ESPN than Norby Williamson,” the statement said. “At the same time, we're thrilled with the multi-platform success we've seen on the Pat McAfee show on ESPN.
“We will handle this matter internally and have no further comment.”
