Johnny Manziel & Pacman Jones on the Steve Smith Beef, Playing High, and Jerry Jones’ Secrets

Adam “Pacman” Jones joins the show to look back on one of the most eventful and talked-about careers the league has seen. Pac shares why he still believes he was better than Devin Hester as a returner, breaking down the instincts and explosiveness that made him so dangerous with the ball in his hands, along with the plays that defined that part of his legacy.

He digs into his years in Cincinnati, unpacking life inside those Bengals teams — from playing alongside Vontaze Burfict to navigating the highs, lows, and constant turbulence that came with that era. Pac explains how the locker room worked, the personalities that fueled those runs, and the emotional swings that made those teams unforgettable. He also dives into the AFC North rivalries that shaped his career, especially the Steelers and Ravens games that felt more intense and personal than anything else on the schedule.

Pac then looks back at his time around Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, sharing stories from a chapter that was short, loud, and memorable — starting with the moment Dallas traded for him and the whirlwind that followed.

Straightforward, sharp, and filled with stories only Pacman can tell, this episode gives a real look at the moments, rivalries, and people that defined his NFL journey — from the highlights to the chaos and everything in between.
