Certified Grumpy Old Man, John Mellencamp, Issues Ridiculous Apology To Knicks Fans Over Pat McAfee’s Pump-Up Speech

John Mellencamp feuding with Pat McAfee in 2025? What a world we live in, eh?

You’re probably wondering, “How did the 1980s rock star get into a disagreement with ESPN’s loud-mouthed sports personality?” Well, it’s somehow both very confusing and simple. First, we have to go back to Tuesday night, when a court-side-seated Pat McAfee grabbed a microphone and fired up the Indiana Pacers crowd at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Currently, the Pacers have the New York Knicks on the ropes in the Eastern Conference Finals. It was actually during the game Tuesday night that Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers took a commanding 3-1 series lead, now needing only one win to move on to the NBA Finals (where the Oklahoma City Thunder are already waiting).

At one point during the night, the Pacers in-game entertainment team handed over the microphone to McAfee, and the former Indianapolis Colts punter tuned into his wrestling persona and directed a message at some high-profile Knicks fans that were in attendance:

“Indianapolis, Indiana. We’ve got some big wigs from the big city in the building. Spike Lee is here. Ben Stiller is here. Timothée Chalamet is here. Let’s send these sons of b****es back to New York with their ears ringing. Let’s turn this sh*t up.”
