That's a lot of money but then again, the show is quite the hit. McAfee enjoyed a terrific career in the NFL as a punter but retired in 2016 after eight seasons but has built himself quite the media career. He joined Barstool Sports the same year he hung them up and launched the show, but eventually left Dave Portnoy's company in 2018 and started his own company, Pat McAfee Inc.

The Pat McAfee Show airs from Indianapolis, where he resides, from Monday to Friday on SiriusXM Radio and Youtube, where they have over 1 million followers. He's had lots of big names on his show over the years, most recently Aaron Rodgers, who went on his 46-minute rant on the COVID-19 vaccine a couple of months ago. McAfee is also a co-host on WWE Friday Night Smackdown.
FanDuel meanwhile is making moves as well and even struck a partnership with the NBA. The Pat McAfee Show will continue to use their odds for the distant future as Sports Betting takes over.
