McAfee replied, calling himself \u201can idiot\u201d for some of his statements.<\/p>\n<p>He then confirmed his stance on the Fever star, claiming he was and continues to be a big fan. However, his way of speaking sometimes gets him in trouble, referring to some controversial comments he made about her earlier in the season.<\/p>\n<p>While he may not be allowed to speak about the WNBA\u2019s newest and brightest star, fans can only hope that he will one day be able to talk about her again. His view of her remains positive, which could open up a future collaboration between the two.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pat McAfee\u00a0runs one of the biggest sports shows in the genre\u2019s history.
