The Pat McAfee Show is going live from Steelers training camp in Latrobe today
The popular Pat McAfee Show will be broadcasting live from Saint Vincent College this afternoon at Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. The Steelers arrived at Saint Vincent last week to kick off their 58th training camp in Latrobe with several new faces on the roster including Aaron Rodgers, D.K. Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, and others. This afternoon, McAfee, who played high school football in western Pennsylvania, will be broadcasting his show live starting at Noon. A regular training camp ticket will be required to access the Saint Vincent grounds. Gates to Saint Vincent will open at 11 a.m. Wednesday and the show will air from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and the Steelers will be practicing starting at 1:55 p.m. "Come up and see us, come up and hang with us, we cannot wait to see the fine Yinzer people up there," McAfee said on his show earlier this week, calling Saint Vincent College a mecca of sorts for Steelers fans. "To make the pilgrimage up there is basically what every Yinzer kid has ever done from western Pennsylvania," McAfee added. A large stage was being finalized on Tuesday where the show will be airing from. McAfee was one of the best college kickers and punters at West Virginia University before having a successful NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts. Following his retirement as a player, the Plum native entered the media industry and his show has skyrocketed in recent years, becoming one of the most popular sports shows in the country.

Tyrese Haliburton recently suffered an injury (Image via Getty Images) NBA legend Tyrese Haliburton recently claimed that he attempted to walk like Kobe Bryant after tearing his Achilles tendon. He recently acknowledged on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show that he believed his body had survived Game 7 of the NBA Finals until the incident happened. He went on to discuss how Kobe Bryant's recovery from his Achilles injury served as inspiration for him and he tried to do that same. He felt optimistic going into the pivotal match after playing a few minutes. However, he couldn't do it. Tyrese Haliburton reflects on devastating Achilles injury and the challenge of living up to Kobe Bryant's legacy Tyrese Haliburton appeared on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. It was his first interview with the public since the injury. During the same, he claimed that he isn't considering the amount of work he had done to assist the team because he would reportedly be out for the entire 2025–2026 season due to his injury. He further stated: "There was definitely a cause of concern that that could happen…. You always hear people who have this injury say it feels like somebody kicked you in the back of the leg. It's not the most painful thing, but it does feel like if you let some elementary-age kid just come up and line you up like a kickball and just kick you in the back of the leg. That's what it feels like. When I went down, I knew right away what had happened." Tyrese Haliburton On What Led To Achilles Tear & Rehab Plans | Pat McAfee Show The Indiana Pacers player went on to say that he attempted to walk it off because, in 2013, Kobe Bryant not only walked off the court but also made two free throws before the L.A. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Lakers fouled him. However, he soon realized that it wasn't an option. He then stated: "I was on the ground, I was like, 'Let me walk'... Kobe walked. I'm walking.' So when I got up and went to take a step, there was no chance… When I went to move my leg, it's like dead weight at the end of your leg. So the fact that Kobe shot a free throw and walked off is unbelievable… Certain guys have walked off, but when I went to take a step, that's when the guys threw the towel over me…" Tyrese Haliburton plays for the Indiana Pacers (Image via Getty images) Since Tyrese Haliburton is still using a motorized scooter four weeks after his surgery, his leg rehabilitation is still a long way off.

Tyrese Haliburton was asked about Myles Turner's departure. Here's what he told Pat McAfee Show
Tyrese Haliburton appeared on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN on Tuesday for his first public comments since his Achilles tendon tear in Game 7 of the NBA Finals which also meant his first comments since stalwart center Myles Turner left the Pacers to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner spent 10 years with the Pacers, playing only in Indiana since he was drafted in 2015. Haliburton and Turner developed a close and productive partnership as part of the Pacers' ball-screen actions and as part of the team's leadership as it built from a lottery team in 2022-23 to the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance in 25 years this season. Haliburton was asked about Turner's departure and was diplomatic in his response. "Since I've gotten here and for the last 10 years Myles' name has been synonymous with our organization," Haliburton said. "He's done a lot here, and I think that people have really taken a liking to Myles. He's done some great things, been a part of some great groups. At the end of the day it is a business, he's gotta do what's best for him. I wish him the best moving forward. My focus is on the guys here and getting better here, but I wish him the best moving forward." "Myles Turner did some great things NBA is a business and he's gotta do what's best for him..I wish him the best moving forward" @TyHaliburton22 #PMSLive Turner entered free agency for the first time after his most recent two-year extension expired. The Bucks surprised the NBA by waiving and stretching seven-time All-NBA guard Damian Lillard to create cap space and offered Turner a four-year, $107 million deal, which Turner took. Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said he felt like the Pacers were working toward a deal with Turner and that they were "in the ballpark" of an offer similar to the one the Bucks gave. But he indicated the Pacers were not given an opportunity to counter Milwaukee's offer. Turner discussed his decision to sign with the Bucks in a news conference in Las Vegas during the NBA Summer League. He said the decision was "ultimately about staying competitive" and he felt like signing with the Bucks would give him a chance to return to the NBA Finals.
