Pat McAfee addressed a joke he made about Michigan State’s football uniforms by referencing disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar.

"And I do apologize if some people took that in a different way and spun it in their own narrative to other people and kind of did their own thing."

"I was simply talking s--- to a friend.
