AJ Hawk never talks.
I don't watch the Pat McAfee show, but whenever I see clips, he's talking a lot and then the right side of the screen shows a silent golem, who I eventually figured out was AJ Hawk.
Yesterday, I was walking with a coworker when a TV screen showed a clip from the show. I pointed up to it, and mentioned my confusion over why that show always devotes one-third of the screen to a guy who never talks. I made the comment that he's essentially the equivalent of a photo of an Easter Island moai. My coworker sent me this article today and I thought it was hilarious that someone else sees the Easter Island similarity. https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/10/pa...-talking-jokes For those who watch the show, what does AJ Hawk actually do? Does he have some segment that he leads? Why is he on the show? Admittedly, I only see snippets, and Pat McAfee is going to get the snippets since he's a firebrand, so maybe my view is skewed. |

I've seen AJ fill in for Pat a few times. He just ran the whole show...

i think AJ is the football "expert" co-host. Pat' said several times that he's just a punter. AJ serves as the show's football Xs and Os guy, I think.

That dude's such a stupid meathead. He just sits there smoking cigars and you KNOW he's watching himself on his monitor to make sure he looks cool doing it. I'm positive he practices cigar smoking at home just to really hammer the character home. I can't stand the guy.

He can’t talk much because he’s chain smoking cigars

I got burnt out on McAfee about a year ago. Early on AJ had a much bigger role and was a name who they used to pull in former and current players for interviews. His role has just slowly diminished over the years. He's kind of just a run of the mill meat head jock. Hes kind of run out of stories, so he puts a couple opinions out, they usually rip him for hit. He's almost just an antagonist to pat at this point. "Ah cahm ahn Ayje thats toxic as hell"

I assume the appeal of the show is that Pat doesn't sit down? Other than that, I admittedly don't get it.

F bombs, segments about a dickprint being put in the icing of a cake, Aaron Rodgers segments, all sorts of shit. They give their honest takes with an " if you don't like what we say, we're sorry and go **** yourself" mentality. It's like what youd expect if you had Trey Parker and Matt Stone running a sports show.

It's strange. I think he's a very quiet guy naturally. His role seems to smile when Pat says something that's supposed to be funny or provocative.
Then you have Pat's crew which might as well be a bunch of CP posters. Maybe Colquitt can start a podcast and Bwillie and a few other posters can offer commentary. I'd tune in! |
