Scott Van Pelt defends Pat McAfee against critics, and says FS1 started fight, then quit.
Last Wednesday, ESPN held Media Day at its Bristol, Conn., campus. Folks who cover sports media, like yours truly, gathered to hear ESPN executives and talent speak and answer questions throughout the day.
Van Pelt, who at one point chimed in to back Smith’s point about the “competition” with ESPN and FS1, had a front-row seat to it all, so I asked him for his reaction to what took place at Media Day during his appearance “I just want to make this clear. Pat's my teammate and I got his back and I appreciate him and his guys and how they do what they do. Expecting the same type of approach to an interview from that show as you would from Jeremy Schaap, it's not the same. They're not the same.
“And all I said, Jimmy, again, because this is a fact, not an opinion, is that for all the people out there that cover media that were breathlessly reporting day-by-day comparisons of what their nightly studio show did head-to-head with, well, they don’t do that anymore because FS1 doesn’t do that anymore because they quit doing shows at night.
