Pat McAfee Issues $1 Million Challenge to Stephen A Smith
"College GameDay" analyst Pat McAfee issued a $1 million challenge to his ESPN colleague Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday.
ESPN's College GameDay introduced a new tradition featuring Pat McAfee: a field goal kicking challenge. Each week, a fan is chosen to attempt a 30-yard field goal kick, with substantial cash prizes and charity donations at stake. ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith praised McAfee's idea, calling it one of the funniest things on television.
McAfee acknowledged Smith's compliment and then issued a $1 million challenge to Smith to join College GameDay in 2026. McAfee's social media post read, "I appreciate you @stephenasmith. Let’s see you at a @CollegeGameDay this year, $1,000,000 to charity?!?!?" The 2026 College GameDay schedule kicks off in Baton Rouge with a Clemson vs. LSU matchup, followed by games in Austin (Ohio State vs. Texas) and Oxford (LSU's Lane Kiffin returning as head coach).
