49ers long-snapper absolutely eviscerates Pat McAfee for latest bad take
San Francisco 49ers long-snapper Taybor Pepper is not afraid to speak his mind.
That is why it was no surprise that he spoke up and eviscerated the ESPN commentator Pat McAfee for his latest bad take on the Olympics.
McAfee is no stranger to controversy. He has gotten into hot water for having New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers come on his show and spew conspiracy theory nonsense. He has used foul language to talk about WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
So, it is really not a matter of if McAfee is going to get in trouble for saying or doing something dumb, but when.
Which brings us to McAfee's latest comments on the Olympics. Specifically, the Women's Boxing portion of the Olympics which has brought about a lot of controversy and debate, which is explained here by ESPN.
McAfee felt that his status as a former punter in the NFL qualified him to speak on such a delicate topic, which he did on his ESPN show for roughly five minutes.
Pepper had the perfect response to McAfee which can be viewed below:
If you cannot access the post, Pepper writes, "'I haven't done enough research.' Then stop talking before you broadcast 5 minutes of nonsense to a worldwide audience."
Pepper said what a lot of people were thinking. Awful Announcing has a great piece out on why McAfee is not equipped to deal with issues like these and would probably be better off just sticking to things he does know.
Pepper is clearly unafraid to speak his mind. He trash-talked Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf last year using sign language. He is also more than willing to send someone a Cameo to try to motivate them to beat their friend in the Madden video game.
Speaking of Madden, Pepper just raised his overall rating from a 27 to a 28 in Madden. Perhaps that little boost is what gave him the confidence to dunk on a buffoon like McAfee.
Long-snappers do not often find their names in the headlines, but Pepper is making a habit of it with his strong social media game.
