Pat McAfee was left publicly embarrassed after he and Aaron Rodgers discussed a statistic on the former's ESPN show that turned out to be made-up by a social media user

The person who posted the fake info felt obliged to point out McAfee's and Rodgers' failure to do basic journalism.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’s weekly appearances on the Pat McAfee Show don’t usually tend to be too serious—a part of his bio reads, “Ayahuasca Enthusiast,” after all. Viewers of the latest episode of the show had extra reason to take Rodgers’s and McAfee’s chummy conversations with a heaping of salt after it appeared that the two spread an inaccurate NFL statistic on-air.
