Ex-Colts punter Pat McAfee accuses ESPN executive of sabotaging 'The Pat McAfee Show'

Ex-Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee accused ESPN executive Norby Williamson of attempting to sabotage "The Pat McAfee Show" on Friday.

The show, which airs on ESPN, has been on that platform since September. During the show, McAfee said he was "very thankful for the ESPN folks," but then quickly brought up Williamson, who McAfee alleged leaked negative ratings information.

"Now there are some people actively trying to sabotage us from within ESPN," McAfee said. "More specifically I believe Norby Williamson is the guy who is attempting to sabotage our program. I'm not 100% sure. That is just seemingly the only human that has information and then somehow that information gets leaked and it's wrong and it sets a narrative of what our show is."

McAfee said someone attempted to "get ahead" of the show's ratings release with incorrect numbers "12 hours beforehand."

"That's a sabotage attempt," McAfee said. "It's been happening basically this entire season from some people who didn't necessarily love the old edition of "The Pat McAfee Show" to the ESPN family."

McAfee called Williamson an "enemy within our own camp."

"That guy left me in his office for 45 minutes," McAfee said. "No-showed me in 2018. That guy has had zero respect for me."

According to ESPN, Williamson has been with the company for nearly four decades and currently serves as the executive editor and head of event and studio production.
