Former NFL punter and podcaster Pat Mcafee trolled eminent sports personality Skip Bayless including many in his monologue at the ESPYS 2023 award ceremony. Mcafee started off by reminding the audience about some of the most inspirational moments the last year presented and spoke about Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals.

In the aftermath of this incident, Bayless, while speaking on his debate show Undisputed, seemingly made some insensitive comments towards the incident and questioned the league's need to postpone the game. This statement received a lot of criticism including from his co-host and NFL Hall of Famer Shanon Sharpe. 

Hence addressing this comment and recalling the incident, Mcafee said,  "Hell yeah! We all watched the situation unfolding on Monday Night Football as Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were trying to navigate the waters and we all at home feared for the absolute worst. And Skip Bayless was like, get that dead body off the field. We got playoff implications on the line.”

"He said it. The tweet is still up, hashtag delete the tweet Skip. But as we watched on, we saw something that we could have never expected. Denny Kellington in the Buffalo Bills training staff, the EMTs, the doctors at the hospital, the teammates and the will to survive by Damar Hamlin has him here tonight, here at all and back playing football, running faster than he's ever run before. Absolute dog. Still don't think Skip [Bayless] should have put that tweet out Damar, I think it's a little insensitive."

Earlier in his address, Pat Mcafee also took aim at former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Farve, who has had a slightly controversial reputation throughout his career. At the ESPYS, Mcafee recalled how Farve had sued him and Shanon Sharpe for commenting on his alleged involvement in the Mississippi welfare funds scandal.

Pat Mcafee started off by stating that athletes aren’t perfect and said, "So, we apologize. The sports world obviously isn't perfect. Sue us. Don't actually. Shout out Brett Favre. That was for me. That was for me and Shannon Sharpe. Shout out. Skip one is for you too."
