Scump fans demand Pat McAfee interview after OpTic & Faze shoutout Call of Duty League\/YouTube: Pat McAfee showSeth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner is one of the most celebrated esports pros in the world, as a Call of Duty legend in every sense of the word. Now, fans are demanding he gets an interview on the Pat McAfee Show, after the former NFL star mentioned him, as well as both OpTic Gaming and FaZe Clan on the show. McAfee, the former Indianapolis Colts punter, retired in February 2017, and since then has gone on to become a huge media personality with his Pat McAfee show. While most of the conversation usually revolves around football, various other topics come up, including other sports or, in this instance, gaming. Pat and his peers started discussing esports on the show, with Pat himself clearly a little confused by it, when Scump was mentioned \u2014 and Pat got his name brilliantly wrong. They got onto the topic with Pat mentioning that his friend and former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselback is a FaZe Clan fan, before asking what other teams exist. Former Call of Duty League franchise Chicago Huntsmen were mentioned (they went on to become OpTic Chicago and now OpTic Texas), and naturally, Scump came up as a result \u2014 but Pat thought he was called \u2018Scum,\u2019 and couldn\u2019t believe it. Scump corrected McAfee on Twitter, who had said that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t help but respect\u201d somebody being the best in the game \u201cand calling themselves \u2018Scum.\u2019\u201d As the biggest name in the Call of Duty world, Scump\u2019s fans quickly caught on and demanded McAfee give Scump an interview or a cameo on the show. Saying that the CoD star is a \u201clegend of the esports scene,\u201d there were numerous tweets following the above exchange, with many of Scump\u2019s 2.2m Twitter followers trying to get him on the show. Pat I love both you and @scump, please get him on your show. Dude is a legend in the eSports scene. \u2014 Uncle Larry (@Konzo_) May 23, 2022 Pat even apologized for not knowing about Scump before, saying that he \u201cwill be better next time\u201d \u2014 hinting that something happening between the two could actually be on the cards. Scump, I apologize.. I am just now learning of your greatness. I will be better next time. \u2014 Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) May 23, 2022 With traditional sports and esports continuing to merge ever closer, it\u2019s definitely not impossible that we see Scump appear on the show \u2014 and there aren\u2019t many better placed to show just how big esports is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
