Treating the Coug like the joke that he is.
I wasn’t expecting a beef between Pat McAfee and John “Cougar” Mellencamp during this year’s NBA Finals, but here we are. It all started Tuesday night, when a the outspoken ESPN host was given the microphone to fire up the Indiana Pacers crowd at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Indiana Pacers came into that game with a 2-1 lead against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, and a win would leave them needing just one more to advance to the Finals. Needless to say, the crowd was fired up. So 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.”
