Summary
Portnoy said Orlovsky became the “biggest joke” of Pat McAfee’s album rollout after the ESPN analyst posted that the record was “good good.”
Calling the album “horrible,” Portnoy argued supportive ESPN reactions crossed a line when Orlovsky used “double good” for music he said was clearly bad.
Orlovsky’s Aug. 14 post stood out even among favorable ESPN reviews, with John Buccigross praising the album as “fun, energetic” and Kirk Herbstreit urging McAfee to perform it on College GameDay.
McAfee’s turn from punter and media star to autotuned country artist has drawn mostly negative reaction, with critics saying the project clashes with the authenticity that built his fan base.
