Pat McAfee Slams Critics After On-Air Jason Kelce Incident: ‘I Hope You All Rot’

Pat McAfee is addressing his haters after he called out Jason Kelce for a slip of the tongue earlier this week on ESPN.

Kelce, 38, appeared as usual on ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears on Monday, September 28, alongside cohosts Scott Van Pelt and McAfee. During halftime, the former Eagles center repeatedly referred to his old team by saying "we," prompting McAfee, 39, to joke, "A lot of 'we' talk out of Jason for Philly."

Kelce then apologized, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I forget. Sorry, Bears fans."

On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of his live ESPN and YouTube show , the former Indianapolis Colts punter took a moment to first address some of the criticism he received for that incident.

"Now, I usually mind my own, but if you thought I was being serious whenever I pointed out that Jason Kelce was saying 'we' about the Philadelphia Eagles, knowing who Jason Kelce is, with the Philadelphia Eagles at the Monday Night Football halftime, you have no brain, and I think you should just realize that," he shared.

McAfee's comment seemed to reference former ESPN analyst Ryan Clark , who took to X the day after the game to post, "I'm trying to mind my own, but hell yea it's 'We' Future Hall of Famer!"

Clark, 46, added, "You're a legend @JasonKelce. Blood, sweat, tears, & glory in Philly. No one can take that away. You can still do your job the right way! Bump anyone saying differently."

Many in the analyst's replies took his post as a dig at McAfee.

"I don't love just the lying and the stuff that happens on my name these days," McAfee himself added on Wednesday's show, not mentioning anyone by name.

"But just saying stuff to continue to add gas to a flame that isn't real when you're in this place and carry as much weight as you definitely do, I think it's a little bit of a piling on," he said, before concluding, "and I hope you all rot. All of you."

Clark has not responded to McAfee's latest comments.

Kelce, meanwhile, appears to have taken the on-air callout in stride — with his New Heights podcast even poking fun at the moment by reposting the clip on X , along with a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air meme.
