Adam Schefter Set to Return to McAfee Show

Adam Schefter, ESPN's top NFL insider, was reportedly banned from appearing on The Pat McAfee Show for about three months after missing a scheduled appearance due to a conflict with an ESPN2 special in March. The ban reportedly resulted from Pat McAfee's dissatisfaction with Schefter's unavailability rather than any directive from ESPN. During Schefter's absence, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN newcomer Peter Schrager became regular guests. ESPN president Burke Magnus downplayed rumors of a feud, emphasizing the show's ongoing success and partnership with ESPN. The Pat McAfee Show has become a flagship ESPN offering following its $85 million acquisition in 2023. Schefter is set to return to the show, suggesting the dispute has been resolved.
