Eric Herschmann made an appearance on the "Fearless" podcast and said that the former punter could have filed a motion to dismiss but chose not to. The former Colts punter did say on his show that Favre's team did ask him to remove videos from his YouTube channel and social media accounts, but he chose not to do so.
Herschmann also said that he believes that he is trying to get more publicity for his podcast and that he wants to teach McAfee a lesson, even if that means making him go bankrupt.
"It’s going to cost Pat McAfee millions of dollars. And if it bankrupts him, then he will have learned his lesson about you don’t try to promote yourself by inappropriately and improperly attacking somebody else," Eric Herschmann said.
McAfee has stated in the past that he hasn't and doesn't intend to hire a legal team. He plans on representing himself in court and that he and the others on his show have always added "allegedly" before covering Favre's case.
