AJ Hawk & Pacman Jones On How TERRIBLE Bengals Facilities Were When They Played | Pat McAfee Show 

One thing I love about pat being gone is we hear all the aj hawk stories🤣

Lmao when AJ asked Pac how many years he was in Cincy and he said 9, I immediately said “damn”. Everybody was thinking the same thing 😂

Kinda nice having Pat away for a bit. Love hearing AJ and Pac chat amongst themselves. Pat would never let the happen without cutting in 12 times 😅

Imagine you sit down after a full practice for lunch and they bring out some lunchables for the team 😂 Pac sitting there spreading the sauce pack on the pizzas or stacking ham and crackers

The whole NFLPA report card thing reminds me of something my dad used to tell me: never underestimate the power of public embarrassment to make things happen.

They should have someone like Fitzpatrick who has played in a bunch of different facilities for a bunch of different teams to talk more about this

0:58 No way AJ predicted it

The last 20 minutes of the show was incredible.

This segment was so good, I didn't even notice Pat wasn't in it lol

I mean, most of us not getting paid millions and paying for our own lunch.

hearing pac talk about denver made me so happy. i’ve always known we were a world class organization but i feel like it doesn’t get talked about enough that after that super bowl win, our owner died, peyton retired, and kubiak resigned as head coach. that would kill any franchise and we’re just now barely recovering from that. but before that we were world class at every level and it honestly doesn’t surprise me hearing pac man praise denver the way that he did.

AJ was actually smiling and laughing today it was awesome

Nice being able to hear Pac and AJ communicate without Pat racing around at 400 mph.

The Bengals have changed so much since Katie Blackburn took over.

Its the Pacman show now Pat. You have been drafted to be on team dad.

AJ was there for the 2015 season. One of our better seasons as a franchise going 12-4. That the playoff game Burfict was out of control and Jeremy Hill fumbled in the red zone late in the fourth where we would have secured the win with a score. Out of all the playoff losses that one stung the most.

Being a Ohio State fan and a Bengals fan having AJ Hawk on the team for a year was good

As a lifetime bengals fan, I need more back stories from these guys

This was actually a calm dope ass segment

Never realized Pac was so deep, nice addition to the show!

Who Dey say dey need sanitary and safe working conditions.

Love the AJ/Pac stories. Theyre great. Well done boys.

Whoever chose to have Pac-Man as a regular needs a promotion or some I fw bro

Long time Bengals fan and insider and I gotta say Marvin Lewis would of been regarded as a great coach or better perception at least. He put up with way much more than he should have

The Saints in the 80’s and 90’s practice facilities were trailers.

Cardinals still charge the players for lunch but on Tuesday they get 1 free refill on iced tea

I never realized AJ hawk was a Bengal. I thought he'd spend his whole career as a packer

I like when all the boys are involved like this

Just start watching this show this week, and I love it!!! Very authentic and real. Also love the topics!

After the David Klingler and Akili Smith years we Bengals fans deserve this come up!

Doesn’t every corporation/company/real world job have their employees pay for lunch or provide options (restaurants/food joints) but not for free? While the employees aren’t getting paid anywhere near as much as professional athletes?

Pacman talkin bout Denver top class facilities and we still suck 🤣

AJ is a solid host

This is so disrespectful to the millions of Americans that work everyday and have to take their own lunch to work. We are talking about millionaires who are crying needing to pay for lunch. Every single traditional employee in the country pays for their own lunch and their own childcare. Nobody provided at work for them. This just shows how disconnected from reality some people can get!!!!

I work for a giant construction company…. I’m gonna demand free lunches, and a weight room

I will always have love for Marvin Lewis and the PAC Man. Who Dey

Wait till these guys hear almost every job requires you to provide your own lunch.

Fantastic topic selected and great insight from Pacman and AJ. Learnt a lot of how organizations in the NFL run their operations and how varied they are.

College University Power 5 locker rooms are Palaces. Going from Alabama to Cincinnati must feel like going backwards in your standard of living but getting a bigger paycheck.

Joey B going to Katie Bs office like “yeah Kate, we need outlets in our lockers” Katie be getting it done!

connor killed driving this convo.

The Seahawks have the reputation of treating their players, staff, and coaches the best.

Never knew some NFL facilities could be so bad considering they make so much money. Heck many big named college football team has state of the art facilities. I bet Joe Burrow invited the Cincinnati Bengals owners to see LSU facilities. They probably was like 🤯.

Pacman is outstanding! Could most likely have his own show🤘

I'm impressed w PacMan..sharp guy,conversationalist..I had him pegged wrong

“We were a player away from being really good.” Damn Pac, you didn’t have to Andy Dalton that way.

What’s crazy is hearing millionaires complain about paying for lunch. I work for a multi billion dollar company and they don’t pay for my lunches

PAC is such a cool interesting new voice to the show.

Thanks pat for making changes for the Bengals Org !

PAC MAN Brings a different dynamic to every discussion. I like D-But, but Pac Man is quick and 100% REAL & knowledgeable.. no sugar coating. 💪

It's probably the 7 kids with 7 different baby mamas, why the owners didn't want a Jerry Springer show in the stadium every game day.

PacMan....Steeler country loves you man! Lol 🤟🏼🤟🏼

The Lions have finally put together that family type of organization in my opinion. I think that’s why this years draft surprised a lot of people, they took players they felt would fit in with the team. Even if they weren’t the so called best available at their position they were the what the team was looking for. MCDC and the guys aren’t going to be biting they’re going to be eating kneecaps this year.

AJ'S baby sitter comment was epic

It's cool getting to know Pacman's true personality and not just what the media showed. I had a feeling he was more down to earth than they led on for the headlines.

Love It Pat The Pat McAfee Show Bro

7:30 Concussion Connor with the most CTE phrasing of a question, ever.

Rich athletes crying, work a 9to5 paying for your lunch.

Im at my job 12 hours a day and they dont pay for my lunch. Im not a millionare though so I guess I cant complain

Those poor multimillionaires had to pay for lunch. Tsss get real

Hey now AJ, I made sure my boys held traffic for you all. We ain’t gonna let our dudes get hit by no cars crossing Central 😉 Pac, it was good seeing you over at TQL a couple months ago man

Don't forget Ochocinco lived in the facilities for 2 years 😃

Love listening to pac man talk.

I feel like aj is naturally a better host than pat. Dont get me wrong i love pat but this was one of the most interesting eps in a while

A lot of people work for 12 hrs or more a day and have to bring their own food.

Well in Hospitals and other places there is a law where you have to charge for facilities food because of a liability of getting food poisoning or sick.... The person can sue the team. Paying for it makes the person liable.

AJ Hawk look like woody Harrelson in his 30s

Glad to hear from TNA tag team champion Pacman Jones

I don't like anyone bad mouthing my organization even people who used to work for them. But if you want to hear somebody talk about how bad the Bengals facilities was back in the day you should listen to Corey Dillon. The Bengals play in the Nasty Naty next to the Yucky Kentucky.

By all accounts the cincy team facilities are still garbage today

Shout out the the audio guy who figured out how to mike Pac right.

Very nice change of pace on the show - miss ya Pat, enjoy the baby!

Pac cool as hell man

I feel so sorry for these millionaires

Had Cedric Benson come out in front of me on the "main road" Aj mentions. I was coming to a full stop but Cedric threw some funny jukes just in case 😂

Up until the mid 90s, the Buccaneers weight room was outside lol.

Its hilarious hearing millionaire athletes complain about paying for lunch. Meanwhile, im packing my lunch to work a 9-5 😂

to think pacman was a tailback until his freshman year in college an then he left early for the draft.. top ten pick.. so awesome

2:58 Oh no millionaires having to pay for their lunch, how cruel

“Hopefully Nashville gets a new stadium”… About that… the stadium ends up being largely paid for by tax dollars. While yes, the NFL does drive people to local businesses, but that doesn’t necessarily help the common everyday worker. I find that to be a sticky topic. As society wants more government funding for public facilities and such, the NFL gets a chunk in terms of stadium funding. Priorities.

Aj hawk looks like one of those boxing mannequins

Cincinnati seem like a cool place. Wouldn’t mind visiting but it sucks that it in Ohio

These poor professional athletes 😢😢😢

Those report cards work cuz it’s makes the owner look bad to their friends, to the fans, and to free agents and players and coaches thinking of coming to the organization

Everyone I know laughed at players getting mad for having to pay for lunches. Millionaires bitching about paying for food like all us poor folk.

“Biggest league in the world” 😭😭

Always be the bunglas aka dingleberrys we all know kids

AJ Hawk and his ex-Buckeye LB teammate Jim "Animal Jr." Lauranaitis (sp?) ought to reform the Road Warriors in WWE.

I love Pac-Man. But born and raised in West Virginia. Any ex mountaineer will always have my love. Lets goooo Mountaineers. Blue and gold all day.

I work masonry, obviously don’t get paid handsomely, and STILL pay for lunch. I can’t sympathize with

I want to know what AJ and Pac think about Mike Brown.

but most employees have to pay for their own lunch

That daycare is gunna have a unreal ball team. Should start a nursery leaugue, would definitely dominate wth those genetics.

I remember back in the day, Norman Braman owned the Eagles before Jeff Lurie and charged players for socks. SOCKS!

Washington Commanders ranked last on NFLPA grades 🤣

AJ Hawk had a locker next to Vontaze Burfict? Or did I mishear?

Did Ochocinco reside there for a few

burrow changed the whole franchise and PACMAN is an amazing podcaster

Excellent convo.. Good job to all

Would owners, staff, and players be willing to lower their salaries so more funds are available for facilities, services, and make game ticket (and refreshment) prices more affordable for the general fan base?
