The Worldwide Leader has published Nos. 51-100 of the best athletes thus far, saying it used contributors from ESPN’s editions across the globe to create the extensive list.
Pat McAfee nukes ESPN's recent list of their Top 100 athletes of the 2000s… on ESPN!
McAfee, no stranger to sharing his opinion, said on his show Tuesday that the whole process has been a “s–t show.”
“Dan Orlovsky, who’s been on ESPN all morning … will join us in six minutes. We’ll probably just cook him and ESPN as a whole for a lot of s–t they’ve been putting out from ESPN’s people. Now there is a top-100 list that’s coming out from ESPN people, and I’ll tell you what, it is the epitome of everything that everybody hates about ESPN,” McAfee said.
“What they chose to do in ranking the top-100 athletes from the 21st century, they only gave us 50-100 yesterday. What a s–t show. What an absolutely terrible list.”
It’s not the first time in the past few weeks that McAfee has gone off on the network after ESPN decided to award Prince Harry with the Pat Tillman Award for Service at this year’s ESPY Awards.
“It’s going to Prince Harry,” McAfee said. “Who I don’t even think is a Prince anymore, right? He said don’t call me that? See, why does the ESPYs do this s–t?”

“We’re very appreciative, and we understand that more people are watching this show than ever before. We’re very thankful for the ESPN folks for being very hospitable. Now, there are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN — more specifically, I believe, Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program,” McAfee said.
