Pat McAfee runs one of the biggest sports shows in the genre’s history. The former NFL punter talks all things sports, so when something is taking over the world, he will have something to say.

There is one issue, though, and it’s that McAfee uses some pretty strong wording on many topics. His show is owned by ESPN, so they say it’s a “no-go,” which is too bad for the 37-year-old talk show host.

McAfee may focus a lot on the NFL; however, in recent media, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been all the rage as she is completely taking over the WNBA, and surprisingly, McAfee isn’t allowed to speak on the star anymore.

McAfee was interviewing fellow sports show host Rich Eisen for Wednesday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show when Caitlin Clark’s name came up in conversation. He quickly shut down the topic, seemingly confirming ESPN’s decision.

McAfee told Eisen, “The universe told me not to talk about her,” furthering his statement by adding, “You know, God came down and said you should probably go ahead and stop it.”

Eisen, of course, was curious about why his good friend and former NFL punter couldn’t speak on one of the biggest names in sports. McAfee replied, calling himself “an idiot” for some of his statements.

He then confirmed his stance on the Fever star, claiming he was and continues to be a big fan. However, his way of speaking sometimes gets him in trouble, referring to some controversial comments he made about her earlier in the season.

While he may not be allowed to speak about the WNBA’s newest and brightest star, fans can only hope that he will one day be able to talk about her again. His view of her remains positive, which could open up a future collaboration between the two.
