sport news Pat McAfee blasts Bill Cowher for Colts' hiring of Jeff Saturday, tells him to ... trends now
Pat McAfee has told Bill Cowher to 'shut the f*** up' after he slammed the Colts' decision to hire interim coach Jeff Saturday last week.
Cowher, who coached the Steelers from 1992 to 2006, winning a Super Bowl in his final year, said the appointment of Saturday is 'a disgrace to the coaching profession' prior to CBS Sports' coverage of the Colts-Raiders game on Sunday.
