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

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 😅

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

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 😂

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

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

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.

“I felt very confident in our team, especially in our defense. If someone wanted to fight us, we’re OK.” 😂

DeShaun Watson heard Denver has massages and is pissed he chose Cleveland now 😂

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

Long time bengals fan and I loved hearing them finally talk about their time there. I was hyped when we signed Aj Hawk and to see him and pac man talking about it is amazing

Glad Pacman is on the show. Gave me an opportunity to totally change my opinion about someone. He just tells it like it is. Hats off!

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

The last 20 minutes of the show was incredible.

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

Marvin paved the way for the position that the Bengals are in today. Lifelong fans know 🐅

AJ was actually smiling and laughing today it was awesome

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

As a bengals fan. I’m so glad they are finally getting around to the times from bussiness to changing the name of the stadium to upgrading facilities and everything. The brown family finally reached into they filled pockets and invested so the team can win.

As a Bengals fan - love hearing AJ and Pac-Man reminisce! Many years cheering Pac (Adam in the years that was requested 😁) on from my end zone corner seats! Could not have loved it more when AJ joined the team!! Used to work for his dad (an amazing guy) so was so cool to directly cheer on his son!!

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.

Who Dey say dey need sanitary and safe working conditions.

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

This was actually a calm dope ass segment

Love the addition of pacman. He was cool on IAMATHLETE but I feel like on this show he’s able to actually talk football in a fun environment

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

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.

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

I remember when Pac-Man joined the Bengals , I thought great just what we need another trouble maker and boy was I wrong. He was a great player for us and I got a ton of respect for him .

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

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

Congrats to mr Pat happy for u unc

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

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

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

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

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

I pay for lunch at my job….😢

ay man i work at a restaurant and my 10 hour shifts make me pay for meals smh

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

Loved this. Great info

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.

“We gotta be here 12 hours and pay for lunch??” Welcome to real life PACMAN!!! 😂😂

Love It Pat The Pat McAfee Show Bro

I like when all the boys are involved like this

You'd think that the teams would *not* want the players to have to pay for lunches, so they could use that as an excuse for a team nutritionist & trainers to customize/optimize the meals for the players needs to gain some small advantage. Hell, my *college* did that for all its sports (granted, D1, but no major teams other than hockey).

Raiders were at Oakland Coliseum. What an awful stadium, one lower level bathroom, old school urinals where you splash piss with the person standing next to you, old beat up seats and players said their locker rooms smelled like sewer and the ceiling was always leaking or falling apart. The only thing I miss about the Coliseum is the tailgating. Been to many stadiums and the tailgating at Oakland Coliseum was the best in my opinion. There was always like 10 food trucks, best tacos, pupusas and anything else.

Making your players pay for food at the facility is crazy

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

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

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

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!!!!

AJ is a solid host

We need Vontez on the show

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

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?

I would think cafeteria food and protein shakes would be more valuable than paying trainers

Too bad Pat wasn't here on this discussion, as a Colts fan, I'd love to hear his take on how things are ran in Indy

Thanks pat for making changes for the Bengals Org !

Denvry! Lol, man I need a job like that. Comp lunch and free massages.

This year let’s hope they play a couple more games with those fire white and black jerseys

I've never worked for a company that paid for my lunch these are grown men the NFL is a business it's not a football camp for kids and you get a free lunch

Some coodinators aren't meant to be head coaches. Guys like Vance Joseph, Vic Fangio and Nathaniel Hackket. But they are GREAT coordinators though.

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.

I drove past the stadium last week, there`s a big ass bubble out there....Is that an indoor practice facility?

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

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

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

Denver has a separate training facility ten miles away from the stadium, dove vaey, that I have driven past my whole life, and it is truly top tier.

I hate to say this, but I really enjoy this show without Pat sometimes. It's quieter on my ears, because they jack up his mic so much, and there isn't 30 second speeches before every topic so Pat doesn't offend anyone.

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 😂

As a bengals fan it sucks to hear how bad it used to be, but awesome to see where we’re going. Also, would love to have AJ and Pac just go off and tell more stories of their time playing together.

Excellent convo.. Good job to all

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

Arizona was making players pay for their food? The Bidwells never change, they were know for being notoriously cheap in St Louis. Years later the Rams signed Aneas Williams and the story was that he was blown away that he didn’t have to pay for his equipment. One would think the bad press from that would move them to change their ways.

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.

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

I'm a Broncos lifer and remember pacman playing for my team, he had some really good games with us and then he just disappeared off the team. No idea what happened there. 😢

Sorry. Ain't gonna feel bad for them having to pay for their lunch. I pay for my lunch while I'm at work 🤷

connor killed driving this convo.

As a chiefs fan, Im glad you Bengals fans get your own Nick Wright hype man too. Rivalry aside, always rooted for Cincinnati to turn it around since the Pickens days. Love hearing Pacman on the show.

As firefighters, first responders and law enforcement we pay for our own groceries and lunch, give me a break divas.

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

THESE are the stories that need to be aired more often.

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 🤯.

Love listening to pac man talk.

This is hilarious 😂

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

I love Pac-Man and AJs stories

Hell ya good point on it humiliating and holding some of the billion dollar business owners accountable

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.

It’s crazy to think that colleges have much, much better facilities than professional teams! That’s wild to me!

AJ'S baby sitter comment was epic

Bein a play away from being a really good team. That’s dope

Pat We Need You On Friday Night Smackdown!

PAC much love from the Broncos ❤

As a steelers fan - we love to see this. Even though our facility is also outdated too lmao

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

Locker right next to Vontex Burfict.......OOOOOOOOOO

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
