As "College GameDay" aired live from Knoxville, Tennessee, ESPN brought in "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville to serve as the guest picker. To no surprise, Knoxville was not afraid to make some jokes, especially at the expense of Pat McAfee.

Knoxville entertained throughout the final segment while wearing a full Tennessee football uniform. The Knoxville, Tennessee native brought his enthusiasm for Volunteers football to the show.

His best moment, though, came when he shaded McAfee's decision to release a country album over the Summer. Here's a look at Knoxville's joke towards the ESPN personality.

Johnny Knoxville shades Pat McAfee

Knoxville provided a ton of energy and entertainment as today's guest picker, even taking a jab at Pat McAfee at one point. While picking the game between Missouri and Mississippi State, Knoxville roasted McAfee's recent country album in the process.

"I'm so sure about this game, that if Missouri loses, I will punish myself by listening to Pat McAfee's new album on repeat until Halloween," Knoxville said.

McAfee laughed at the joke, and the two had a small exchange following the pick.

"No offense," Knoxville said, to which McAfee responded "offense taken."

McAfee's album, "The Diary of a Polarizing Figure," was released in August, but received harsh reviews from most music critics. Therefore, Knoxville used the album to needle McAfee during the show.

Both Knoxville and McAfee did come together at the end of the show, as they each picked Tennessee to take down Texas in the game of the day.
