The Pat McAfee show features the former punter and his mate AJ Hawk. It’s a great show for the viewers and McAfee and his hosts add a fun-filled segment to their talk show. Recently, the co-host Hawk returned with an eye patch during the recent episode. His patch invited some hilarious comments from McAfee but the former Colts player looked concerned.

McAfee while introducing his co-host did mention that he’d “look different today”. While the eye patch shocked several viewers and even McAfee, Hawk detailed the back story.

While the Pat McAfee Show comprises discussions around other players. This time around, McAfee and co. were concerned about the eye patch that Hawk got. Honestly, it looked like a failed Nick Fury impersonation! Whereas McAfee did say that maybe Jim Harbaugh beat the poor guy! Hawk narrated how he got the beat down! “Yeah not a long story. Bent down this morning to pick up Axel, he threw his arms up so fast. His thumb went about six inches deep into my eye. And his nail chopped off part of my eye.”- told Hawk.

AJ, the former Packers linebacker has a bug family. The star married his wife Laura back in 2007 and has four kids with her. He loves his family and enjoys the company of his doting children. While the knockout might seem like a weird story, but again shows Hawk’s love for his kids. AJ suggested how he fought the whole pain off by first doing his duties as a father. Dropping his kids to school and ensuring that they reach on time. It was only later that he reached out to a doctor and got the eye patch for protection. Pat McAfee seems to have gotten Rodgers in a pickle earlier and A-Rod looked to clear the air.
