The fact the show is independent is a HUGE draw tbh. I get it Pat and wish the best for you and the wife but if the show goes to a network it’s going to lose its magic sadly. TH-cam is the future, going to a network is going in reverse.
Also afraid of the same thing. Going to be a big company is gonna get rid of the conversations that make this show what it is. I’m a father so I understand what Pat is saying as well but man the show being independent is really what makes the show what it is.
Facts!! TH-cam is the future. Which is why so many people have started TH-cam channels. Like Colin with the volume. He’s double dipping right now, building a base and eventually will strictly be on TH-cam. So he can be himself without having an overbearing executive keeping him PC. Colin and Nick are at their best when they’re on the volume together. Pat has shown people the blueprint to massive independent success. So to go to ESPN/ FOX would be a huge mistake. But if Pat is getting to the point where he just wants a huge bag and sees an end in sight. Because he wants to be a family man, I would totally understand. But considering how ESPN tried to screw them over with not allowing their people to appear on the show. That should tell you enough about going to the woke side.
@Wheelchair Wolverine they buried that hatchet a while ago. The problem with youtube is monetization. The networks are still killing it in revenue comparatively.
Pat , you’re ahead of the curve man. Don’t take a step back by pairing with a network. You are your own network brother. Focus on this show and drop out the rest man. Go home to your fam each night and continue to be the best and most honest sports show period.
@@provisionalhypothesis maybe not today but definitely over the future. Pat mentions he wants freedom and that's a way to have residual income forever is to build a brand "PMS" and make your own network similar to daily wire and what they have done (regardless of your political views they have set the precedent for tv personalities turning their brand into their own network) Imagine 4-5 years down the line Boston Connor running his own segments 😂
Maybe he’s talking about a 24/7 live TH-cam show, just like sports radio shows have. Maybe he will take the Howard stern route and just work when he wants and have a support staff around him keeping things moving
Pat and team you’ve gotta keep ownership. Any network deal will crush the magic. Hire a CEO you trust to run the business side of the company and take care of all headaches. You focus on what you do best: content. Totally doable with someone who knows media, you get to stay independent and in control, but not chained to every crisis.
TH-cam streaming has come a long way since this show first started. TH-cam would be silly to let a channel like Pat and the boys leave without giving them an offer to do their show exclusively on TH-cam. The show attracts a huge audience that would otherwise go other places to get news about sports. Hopefully, TH-cam doesn’t let them leave without a fight!
Today, more than 400k people tuned in on TH-cam to find out news from this channel. I hope you guys think about that and how you can scale it up and become a truly one of a kind project. Either way, good luck boys.
This guy is begging fanduel to save him on his lawsuit. Fanduel said no we can't cover your stupid azz. So now he's begging for a network that has the power to help him when he has been giving espn the finger the whole time. I can't wait until Brett Favre cleans his bank account out for defemation. Guy will trash Brett's name before he has any evidence on the accusations but he will bring mike Vick on fresh out the dog pound lol
Happy to hear him discuss miscarriages, if even only briefly. Men don't talk about this enough, but it affects us in a different way that is never mentioned. Big platform and appreciate Pat sharing
It kinda feels like this is a sort of goodbye. He seems to be getting ready to shift his focus to his family and have most day to day operations run by someone else. Congratulations on everything that has happened to you. I've followed you since the beginning. If you are ready for that next chapter, go for it, even if we feel some sort of way about it if things inevitably change. Happy days. Cheers bud.
He has the blue print set, just need to find some trustworthy for sure, maybe even teaming up with Peytons Omaha network. It worked out really good before but idk behind the scenes stuff.
I remember this conversation..and I think all those "fans" who complain about why you moved to ESPN should watch this. 20/20 hindsight..moving to ESPN has changed nothing..we do get live Friday shows on a college campus now and it's AWESOME!!! Keep doing what you are doing Pat!!! Started in a basement now we on ESPN!!! Let's go!!! Woot woot!!!
We love how transparent and up front you are with us Pat!!! This is why we watch you and support you in your journey. Honestly if you could partner with Omaha to do the stuff you're looking to move on or to take a load off. You seem to have a great relation with Peyton and already kinda had free reign with them for college games in the dome on ESPN2. Can't wait to see what the future holds regardless!!!
ESPN'S adoption of race baiting and gender baiting is awful. Pat and crew have encouraged open dialog, provided a platform to allow visibility to some terrific humans, and quite honestly been terrific for good sportsmanship. I appreciate this channel.
I fell in love w/ this show during covid ,hate sport shows this is the only 1 for me. I think this will get better and better as time goes on . Congrats and will watch on any platform.
The reason I watch this show, found this show, got attached to this show, and stay dedicated to this show, is that it's connected to TH-cam...and that it can see the entire sports landscape from the top down. When you join a network or establishment entity, you give that up immediately. No matter how enigmatic, charming, authentic you are... everything becomes questioned bc of a media connection. You're in a unique position, and have so many avenues with advertising and marketing to create even more capital and infrastructure. I hope you utilize that, rather than running toward the traditional lens. Take it from a guy that works for an independent news station on the best prep football show in America: the road can be hard, but the value and pride is worth it.
Pat, I'm watching from the 'Burgh. Just know we've got your back! Love the show love what you do! You're one of the few I look to for my sports/football news! Thank you for all you do!
Look at how many views, likes, and comments these videos and streams on here get. The PMS being on TH-cam is what makes it amazing and unique. Being on a network would make it just another show.
Pat is a role model to so many of us who are looking to be successful while keeping our true values front and center, and I love that now that will also include not only being a great husband but also a devoted father. We need more people like him in our lives.
I'm this other guy. I would honestly drop everything else and only do your show. Your making 120mil from fan duel. More than enough to be happy doing your show for 3hrs a day and going home every night.
Don't go that route Pat.... your free-wheeling style, including liberal f-bombs are what makes you and your show genuine. Talking off the cuff and not worrying about what sensors would say/do brings the authenticity to you!
While partnering with a network could make the show lose some of its luster, family is number one Pat. You've done such an amazing job and entertained myself and so many more for so long, you owe it to yourself to be the happiest father you can be and I hope I speak for everyone else when I say that we want that for you
Pat, Don't sell out bro, keep doing you on TH-cam, the money will come, it already has.. the reason the show is so great is because it's independent, you're free to speak your mind.. don't change, please. YOU are already bigger than ESPN, they now report news that you've already broke, they wish they could get the guests you get. Whatever you decide though, thank you, it's been a pleasure watching your show for 3 years.
I don’t know. Seems like that creative control over the entire show is very important to the continued success. But I’m sure many people will support your show regardless of what network it’s on. Just hope it doesn’t lose the aspects we all love about it. But gotta do what’s right for you, your family, and employees 👏
This hit so hard with pat talking about your kids. I can feel and hear your pain of losing your kids. Been there recently, and all I can hope is more blessings and love towards your fam. That stuff stings. Much love
I’m a fairly new fan of football thx to this show. I would hate to see you go to “a network” but I understand that it takes an awful lot to make this thing go round and I wouldn’t fault ya for doing what’s best for you and your family. As long as you’re on TH-cam, I’ll be watching!
In terms of the importance, I think the only thing that even comes close to the hard work and personalities of everyone on the team, is the independence to be, say, and do whatever y'all want. A part of that is obviously choosing your own futures and balancing responsibilities, but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we're just scared about the potential of an outside team trying to change you/tell y'all what to do. Obviously we trust y'all and you gotta do what's best for you and yours. No matter what, we're grateful for everything. Good luck guys!
Hey Pat, the fact you are nervous about becoming a father is probably the best trait you can have before actually being one. From a father of 4 I felt the same every time. I killed it and so will you bro👍
Pat is successful and would never listen to any of us, but it sure seems obvious he just needs to hire more off-air people and/or managers to handle some off the things he is doing off camera.. I mean, every human has felt as if they’ve spread themself to thin some point and it really seems the deserved success has done that to Pat!
Speaking as someone from Wales in the UK, I watch your show everyday Pat. I was interested in NFL but this show got me hooked. It’s been amazing watching it grow, I hope nothing changes and the networks dumb you down
Dbut definitely. I hope he is able to keep him because, as you said, he could definitely host his own thing if he wanted. Idk why you're putting pac on his level though...
Personally I'm sick of being bombarded with sports gambling adds on every website I go to. I think the should have the same laws as tobacco, no advertising.
Love the show. Would be ruined if it goes to ESPN would be considered a total SELLOUT no matter how u wanna put it....... but hopefully we'll have ThePod once a week. Still unfiltered. $Talks boys, $ F'n talks!!
@@str1cklybizn3ss67 Go and look at a show from a month ago - the Fan Duel advertising is still there. FD pulled the contract and the advertising has been removed from the logo. Check the video from the 27th Feb, it's still there. Not to mention the bets all season and playoffs. It was mentioned a lot.
I love this show and how it’s independent from major networks. That’s why I’ve watched for 4 plus years… I don’t know how I’d feel about you joining a network…. Pat you always said that you like to say what you want to say, by joining a network, you will not be able to say what you want to say….
I know Pat likes to laugh off “Oh I just always felt like I’d die alone,” but you see the effect meeting, marrying and now having a child with Samantha has had on this man. Speaking from experience, I used to say the exact same things, “Oh…I’ll just die alone.” And it’s sad. No one should die alone. People deserve to find love and happiness. Pat is so kind to all of us, he gives away thousands of dollars a week, gets interviews with guys like Aaron and always remains humble, thanking his audience along the way. I’ve never felt like he’s taken any of us for granted. So I want Pat to honestly find the road that makes him and the boys happy the way he has made us happy. That being said, please stay on TH-cam. You can ask what you want, for however long you want, to whoever you want, without worrying about cutting to commercial or not being able to curse, etc. and your creativity being crushed along the way. God Bless Pat!
As long as the show is always here on TH-cam, then I'll be here as well. Can't afford cable and I've watched the show since I was in high school. Much Mana & 🖤 to all the boys
I completely understand Pat I'll watch no matter what. I got a 1 year now and will say you definitely need to cherish and be there for as many moments as possible can't wait for the future of the show!
Pat I think you should talk with Joe Rogan. Love him or hate him he's done it his own way. Not only does he run a huge podcast, he does stand up, UFC, and has raised 3 daughters all at the same time. I think he could give him major advice on how to stay independent while balancing work life.
Pat you are a really good dude man (based off the speech about raising a good human and being a good human) , a lot of people forget about that these days. Hope the best for you and your family.
Love you guys, understand there is more that goes into this than any of us viewers understand. The beauty of the show is that it’s independent of any big BS network. ESPN sucks.
Facts have TH-cam partner with 10-12 top live shows and have their seasons/live streams available sort of like Netflix but don’t let it get out of hand
my best friend never wanted a kid, was always fine and 100% happy doing his thing, but then decided to have a kid because he thought the girl he met would be such a great mom and she wanted one so he was like ok fine, they tried and had a miscarriage, was a whole ordeal, but they ultimately tried again and succeeded fast forward 3 years later, they are both broke and miserable, they haven't gotten along in years and are just constantly bitter to each other because they aren't able to do the things they loved like they used to and EVERY SINGLE THING in their lives revolve around taking care of / paying for this kid family isn't always #1, sometimes it's perfectly okay to keep yourself and your own life/interests/career as the #1 thing had my best friend listened to his own life-long instincts and stuck by them, he wouldn't make "jokes" about suicide to get away from the crippling stress and debt that he decided to take on in order to live a life he never actually wanted but mentally convinced himself to take on they went from the happiest most fun loving sex having couple i've ever seen to being stressed and miserable every day be careful what you wish for Pat
You need to add somebody like a CEO or financial Director to relieve you of the daily business stresses and let you continue to work on the talent side….. I understand it’s big big money to join with the net work, but I think it would kill your show and stifle your creativity but money talks
Every day at 12 I pull up you tube and like clockwork, your channel is live first thing in my feed. Congrats to you pat. Best football show by far. Go Bills!!!
Thank you pat for everything, go live your life with your family , you deserve it . Thank you for everything I've been following you on TH-cam since 2018, your the best damn sports journalist on earth, and could win a title in wwe! Congratulations and thank you for your football memories, Cause you are the best damn punter ever! Thank you pat
Please god don’t go to a network, find a way to keep it the way you’ve got it. That’s what makes it special. Espn, fox sports or whoever will destroy it
Don't think they can afford it, but damn would I love to see Pat associated with Barstool again. Perfect platform for him and loved him when he was there.
Respect your honesty Pat. I’d hate to see this show go to mainstream media I think you’d be silenced/controlled too much but understand your reasons to go that route and no matter what I’ll be supporting your platform either way. Independent seems the better route to go….but at the end of the day it’s what’s best for YOU Pat, and your family and coworkers. Independent also seems like such an enormous amount of work on top of hosting the show.
Those 'stresses' made you hustle. Never discount them. And don't try to protect your child from them. Focus on building resilience instead of trying to create happiness. Happiness is dependent on circumstances most of which you cannot control. Resilience means that you overcome your circumstances.
Do these sport networks get 140k concurrent viewers? Even so, I really like the fact the show is independent, and many other people do as well. I’m no expert at all, but I feel like Pat would be able to set him and his family up by getting more sponsors. 140k viewers is a whole lot and there are more companies that would pay good guaranteed money to be sponsors
Dude. Plz don't go to ESPN. They will dictate how and what direction the conversation goes. No woke. No going broke. Good luck with being a dad it's one of the most rewarding things in life. 🤘
Ultimately I think it would be best if Pat chose which secondary opportunities are most beneficial and cut out the rest. Things like game day and WWE.. could they be cut out for family time? The main thing is the TH-cam should stay. Not paired with a network. A version of this show without cussing, without brutal honesty and without the same personality because a network drowns it out would kill the show in my Opinion.
Absolutely love that you’re even in the position to be walking away from $100M+ deals. Been here since the haunted basement. Amazing to see the show grow.
Pat, as a father of two teens, let me say that the biggest problems kids face cannot be solved with money. They social, emotional, and sometimes physical. Being a good dad isn't paying for everything, it is being there to listen, hug, and help.
How are you all willing to slow your language down? I love it, and I am positive that all of your viewers love the words you guys let fly. Who ever your "family ends up being, I personally hope your show does not change at all.
One of your positives is that you are not ESPN. Why not just hire people to handle these things instead of being under a network that has control. Keep your independence and hire good people to do the jobs.
The fact the show is independent is a HUGE draw tbh. I get it Pat and wish the best for you and the wife but if the show goes to a network it’s going to lose its magic sadly. TH-cam is the future, going to a network is going in reverse.
Also afraid of the same thing. Going to be a big company is gonna get rid of the conversations that make this show what it is. I’m a father so I understand what Pat is saying as well but man the show being independent is really what makes the show what it is.
Facts!! TH-cam is the future. Which is why so many people have started TH-cam channels. Like Colin with the volume. He’s double dipping right now, building a base and eventually will strictly be on TH-cam. So he can be himself without having an overbearing executive keeping him PC. Colin and Nick are at their best when they’re on the volume together. Pat has shown people the blueprint to massive independent success. So to go to ESPN/ FOX would be a huge mistake. But if Pat is getting to the point where he just wants a huge bag and sees an end in sight. Because he wants to be a family man, I would totally understand. But considering how ESPN tried to screw them over with not allowing their people to appear on the show. That should tell you enough about going to the woke side.
As a single dad, with my daughter most of the week , nothing's more important than having a little girl see her father take care of her
@Wheelchair Wolverine they buried that hatchet a while ago. The problem with youtube is monetization. The networks are still killing it in revenue comparatively.
The show stopped being independent when they got a 9 figure investment.
Pat , you’re ahead of the curve man. Don’t take a step back by pairing with a network. You are your own network brother. Focus on this show and drop out the rest man. Go home to your fam each night and continue to be the best and most honest sports show period.
@@provisionalhypothesis then you sell out and the network tells you what you can or cant do
@@provisionalhypothesis maybe not today but definitely over the future.

@@YouJustAmazeMe pac is miles ahead of dbut on the mic
Personally I'm sick of being bombarded with sports gambling adds on every website I go to. I think the should have the same laws as tobacco, no advertising.
Come on Pat stay where you are don’t become corporate person
Call Dave Chappelle for advice and burn a couple he walked away from 50 million in 2004.
Was supposed to be 500m but they scared him and made lies
@@ethanumbanhowar564 Where they holding a gun to his head? Take this 50 million or we are going to kill you?? Hilarious!!
Love the show. Would be ruined if it goes to ESPN would be considered a total SELLOUT no matter how u wanna put it....... but hopefully we'll have ThePod once a week. Still unfiltered. $Talks boys, $ F'n talks!!
FanDuel is mad because buddy wouldn’t say their name enough and tbh they’re right. They backed the truck up.
Bruh that’s false. FanDuel was all over the place and mentioned often
The new stoogio is called the FanDuel thunderdome
@@Tim_Frantz you see their logo anywhere? Especially in that “thunder dome” logo? Now imagine you paid 120 million for it.
@@naptahnnative6669 you see their logo anywhere? Especially in that “thunder dome” logo? Now imagine you paid 120 million for it.
@@str1cklybizn3ss67 Go and look at a show from a month ago - the Fan Duel advertising is still there. FD pulled the contract and the advertising has been removed from the logo. Check the video from the 27th Feb, it's still there.
Not to mention the bets all season and playoffs. It was mentioned a lot.
Hey Pat, As an Aussie fan I am extremely glad to hear your show is staying. I love you guys and the show has invigorated my love of NFL football.
I love this show and how it’s independent from major networks. That’s why I’ve watched for 4 plus years… I don’t know how I’d feel about you joining a network…. Pat you always said that you like to say what you want to say, by joining a network, you will not be able to say what you want to say….
I will not support if it’s connected to ESPN, I’m sure many share the same sentiment
I know Pat likes to laugh off “Oh I just always felt like I’d die alone,” but you see the effect meeting, marrying and now having a child with Samantha has had on this man. Speaking from experience, I used to say the exact same things, “Oh…I’ll just die alone.” And it’s sad. No one should die alone. People deserve to find love and happiness. Pat is so kind to all of us, he gives away thousands of dollars a week, gets interviews with guys like Aaron and always remains humble, thanking his audience along the way. I’ve never felt like he’s taken any of us for granted. So I want Pat to honestly find the road that makes him and the boys happy the way he has made us happy. That being said, please stay on TH-cam. You can ask what you want, for however long you want, to whoever you want, without worrying about cutting to commercial or not being able to curse, etc. and your creativity being crushed along the way. God Bless Pat!
As long as the show is always here on TH-cam, then I'll be here as well. Can't afford cable and I've watched the show since I was in high school. Much Mana & 🖤 to all the boys
that fact this show is NOT on a network is one of the main reasons I became a fan
I completely understand Pat I'll watch no matter what. I got a 1 year now and will say you definitely need to cherish and be there for as many moments as possible can't wait for the future of the show!
Aw congrats on a baby girl!!! You'll be a great dad!
Pat I think you should talk with Joe Rogan. Love him or hate him he's done it his own way. Not only does he run a huge podcast, he does stand up, UFC, and has raised 3 daughters all at the same time. I think he could give him major advice on how to stay independent while balancing work life.
Pat you are a really good dude man (based off the speech about raising a good human and being a good human) , a lot of people forget about that these days. Hope the best for you and your family.
Love you guys, understand there is more that goes into this than any of us viewers understand. The beauty of the show is that it’s independent of any big BS network.
ESPN sucks.
Seeing pat on TH-cam TV would be epic
It would be
Facts have TH-cam partner with 10-12 top live shows and have their seasons/live streams available sort of like Netflix but don’t let it get out of hand
Hell no! imagine the handcuffs they would put on them?!?!
@@JP-xq7fo but what if they didn’t
Who would have thought having generational wealth would be stressful 🙄
Big mistake Pat. Family is #1 but joining a network would be a death sentence. Wish you well pal in whatever you do. See you in Tahoe brother WAD!!!!
my best friend never wanted a kid, was always fine and 100% happy doing his thing, but then decided to have a kid because he thought the girl he met would be such a great mom and she wanted one so he was like ok fine, they tried and had a miscarriage, was a whole ordeal, but they ultimately tried again and succeeded
fast forward 3 years later, they are both broke and miserable, they haven't gotten along in years and are just constantly bitter to each other because they aren't able to do the things they loved like they used to and EVERY SINGLE THING in their lives revolve around taking care of / paying for this kid
family isn't always #1, sometimes it's perfectly okay to keep yourself and your own life/interests/career as the #1 thing
had my best friend listened to his own life-long instincts and stuck by them, he wouldn't make "jokes" about suicide to get away from the crippling stress and debt that he decided to take on in order to live a life he never actually wanted but mentally convinced himself to take on
they went from the happiest most fun loving sex having couple i've ever seen to being stressed and miserable every day
be careful what you wish for Pat
You need to add somebody like a CEO or financial Director to relieve you of the daily business stresses and let you continue to work on the talent side….. I understand it’s big big money to join with the net work, but I think it would kill your show and stifle your creativity but money talks
Greatest TH-cam sports talk show of all time
Every day at 12 I pull up you tube and like clockwork, your channel is live first thing in my feed. Congrats to you pat. Best football show by far. Go Bills!!!
Just had my baby girl it's unreal - all of this is just a launch pad for the future - I got my popcorn ready and excited to watch what happens next 💪💪
Thank you pat for everything, go live your life with your family , you deserve it . Thank you for everything I've been following you on TH-cam since 2018, your the best damn sports journalist on earth, and could win a title in wwe! Congratulations and thank you for your football memories, Cause you are the best damn punter ever!
Thank you pat
Man he can’t work 4 hours a day on a show? 😂😂 dude is just giving up when everybody else has kids and does their thing. He’s selling out.
Love Pat and the fam. Will support whatever he does. Thank you all!
Stay away from big media man, don’t want to see a good thing end.
It’s so weird Pat would consider ESPN when he’s seen the garbage those analysts have put up with. Contents going to get censored out the ass
So glad it's still going to be on TH-cam since so many can never watch live
Please god don’t go to a network, find a way to keep it the way you’ve got it. That’s what makes it special. Espn, fox sports or whoever will destroy it
Partnering with ESPN or any Network will only censor the show in many ways...sadly that's just the way it is. Stay independent as long as possible.
Don't think they can afford it, but damn would I love to see Pat associated with Barstool again. Perfect platform for him and loved him when he was there.
Respect your honesty Pat. I’d hate to see this show go to mainstream media I think you’d be silenced/controlled too much but understand your reasons to go that route and no matter what I’ll be supporting your platform either way. Independent seems the better route to go….but at the end of the day it’s what’s best for YOU Pat, and your family and coworkers. Independent also seems like such an enormous amount of work on top of hosting the show.
Those 'stresses' made you hustle. Never discount them. And don't try to protect your child from them. Focus on building resilience instead of trying to create happiness. Happiness is dependent on circumstances most of which you cannot control. Resilience means that you overcome your circumstances.
Congrats on the baby girl pat! 👶 mine is 15 months its the best being a dad!
Do these sport networks get 140k concurrent viewers? Even so, I really like the fact the show is independent, and many other people do as well. I’m no expert at all, but I feel like Pat would be able to set him and his family up by getting more sponsors. 140k viewers is a whole lot and there are more companies that would pay good guaranteed money to be sponsors
I watch your show because you are on TH-cam. Keep doing your thing guys
Please don’t turn corporate
Whatever you gotta do to put your family first Pat. Nothing but respect.
Well it was bound to happen. Happy for Pat and his family but these type of things unfortunately hurt the audience.
Dude. Plz don't go to ESPN. They will dictate how and what direction the conversation goes. No woke. No going broke. Good luck with being a dad it's one of the most rewarding things in life. 🤘
Ultimately I think it would be best if Pat chose which secondary opportunities are most beneficial and cut out the rest. Things like game day and WWE.. could they be cut out for family time?
The main thing is the TH-cam should stay. Not paired with a network. A version of this show without cussing, without brutal honesty and without the same personality because a network drowns it out would kill the show in my
Opinion.
need to stay independent, plus guys like Rodgers are less likely to come on the show if it's owned by a network, especially like ESPN
Absolutely love that you’re even in the position to be walking away from $100M+ deals. Been here since the haunted basement. Amazing to see the show grow.
This show gotta stay on TH-cam and it has to be free who owns it idc
Its cool how honest pat is, its rare in media these days
Just hire more help. Production people, managers, whatever. Become more hands off managing it, and just show up and do the show then head home.
Pat, as a father of two teens, let me say that the biggest problems kids face cannot be solved with money. They social, emotional, and sometimes physical. Being a good dad isn't paying for everything, it is being there to listen, hug, and help.
I wonder if this could result in a Barstool reunion
Barstool and that’s it. Any other network will make the show a woke joke.
I remember when like 1000 people only watched this show now look at you guys 😢. 🔥 🔥
Smart man Pat. Having a kid is nuts and more time consuming than you can imagine in the best way. Super happy for all your success boys
How are you all willing to slow your language down? I love it, and I am positive that all of your viewers love the words you guys let fly. Who ever your "family ends up being, I personally hope your show does not change at all.
Pat seems to have great instincts; I think even he knows that joining a Network is a terrible idea but may be necessary if he wants a personal life.
Not terrible idea at all, it could be an improvement as long it’s a good partnership
@@amadoumaiga8503 Nah, I don’t need anymore woke bs in my life. It’s everywhere now.
One of your positives is that you are not ESPN. Why not just hire people to handle these things instead of being under a network that has control. Keep your independence and hire good people to do the jobs.
Pat don't leave TH-cam pleaseeeee
