Show Caption Hide Caption Players, fans run for cover after gunfire erupts at football game Police say at least two people were injured when shots rang out at a high school football game in Pleasantville, New Jersey.

Pat McAfee has come a long way from being a second-year punter who emerged from an Indianapolis canal 10 years ago, soaking wet and drunk, and spent the night in jail.

The former Colts punter retired in 2017 and got busy in the media industry. He hosts his own radio show on DAZN and landed at ESPN, where he is a color commentator for weeknight college football and a College GameDay personality. (He's also set to be on XFL broadcasts next year.)

On Saturday, McAfee — holding a selfie stick on top of a boat on the banks of the Brazos River at Baylor's campus — set the stage for his stunt before the Oklahoma-Baylor game.

"A lot of people would say this is the last time I'm going to be on GameDay," McAfee said. "The last time I did allegedly what I'm about to do, I ended up in a jail cell. Let's go!"

And with that, the 32-year-old executed a belly flop into the water.

GameDay host Rece Davis, in between the laughter, was happy McAfee resurfaced.

"Hey, I hope we scoped that out and let Pat know that the Brazos is not really that deep right there," he said. "Belly flop — we could have had an incident!"
