Riley Green joins a packed Pat McAfee show with soccer, NBA, NFL, and internet-star energy
This preview is based only on the episode’s published show notes. Pat McAfee, AJ Hawk, and the crew are joined in studio by Riley Green, with guest spots from Brian Windhorst, Mike Grella, IShowSpeed, and Ian Rapoport covering the USMNT, LaMelo Ball trade talk, and NFL updates.
Based on the published show notes, this episode looks like a variety-heavy edition of *The Pat McAfee Show* built around a full in-studio appearance from country music star Riley Green. If you like the show most when it mixes sports headlines with loose, personality-driven conversation, this one seems aimed squarely at that lane. The sports focus appears to center on a preview of the USMNT’s group stage match against Türkiye, framed in the notes as a “meaningless” game before the knockout rounds begin Sunday. Soccer fans also get an extra layer with CBS Golazo analyst and former Premier League player Mike Grella joining the conversation. On the basketball side, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst is listed to discuss the LaMelo Ball trade, which should appeal to listeners looking for NBA offseason talk. NFL coverage is represented by ESPN/NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, who is noted as joining live from the Travelers Championship, suggesting a mix of football news and on-location check-in energy. Then there’s the wildcard factor: IShowSpeed is also part of the guest lineup, adding a very different kind of internet and streaming presence to the show. Altogether, the notes point to an episode with broad appeal for listeners who enjoy McAfee’s blend of sports analysis, guest-driven banter, and crossover personalities. If you want a tightly focused deep dive on one topic, this may not be that. If you want a big, end-of-run episode with multiple guests and a little bit of everything, the show notes suggest this is exactly that.
