    Ride along with Jared Allen as he dives into the most memorable stories, pivotal moments, and honest reflections from his legendary NFL career. Jared breaks down what it was really like playing alongside Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson in Minnesota — from the practice field to the locker room — and explains why those Vikings teams were some of the most unique and competitive groups he ever played with. He shares insight into AP’s rise to greatness, Favre’s unmatched toughness, and the culture that defined that era in Minnesota. Jared also looks back at his early years with the Kansas City Chiefs, detailing how the organization helped shape him into one of the league’s premier pass rushers. From rookie lessons to breakout seasons, he explains how his time in Kansas City built the foundation for everything that followed. He then shifts to today’s NFL, offering his perspective on why stars like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby represent a new wave of defensive linemen, how the game has evolved physically and schematically, and what has changed most about life in the trenches since his playing days. If you’re a fan of thoughtful football insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and one of the most impactful defensive players of his generation, this episode delivers everything you’re looking for. Jared Allen brings clarity, humor, and unmatched perspective.

  • Johnny Manziel & Josh Gordon on the NFL's Drug Testing Policy and Flash's Epic 2013 Season
    Johnny Manziel and Josh Gordon finally sit down for the conversation fans have waited years to hear. On this episode of Glory Daze, the former Browns teammates look back at their time in Cleveland — the electric moments, the chaos behind the scenes, and the bond they built while navigating a franchise constantly in flux. Josh talks about how his rise in Cleveland played a real role in the Browns drafting Johnny, and how their careers became linked from day one. They dive into their shared experiences as two of the most watched young players in the league, the day-to-day reality of the NFL drug-testing world, and how much pressure came with trying to live up to massive expectations on and off the field. Josh opens up about joining the Patriots, catching passes from Tom Brady, and what it was like having Bill Belichick keeping close tabs on him everywhere he went. Johnny gets him to walk through the moments fans never saw — the meetings, the conversations, and the plays that still stick with him years later. Johnny also shifts the conversation to today’s college football landscape, how NIL would’ve changed everything for him, and even tells stories about partying with Diego Pavia — now lighting it up at Vanderbilt — as the two compare eras and how the game keeps evolving.

  • Johnny Manziel & A.J. McCarron Bury the Hatchet On Their Iconic SEC Rivalry
    AJ McCarron sits down with Johnny Manziel on Glory Daze for a conversation that takes you right back to the heart of the SEC. These two quarterbacks defined a moment in college football when Alabama and Texas A&M collided on the national stage. Johnny talks about the legendary upset in Tuscaloosa, when the Aggies stunned the Crimson Tide and sent shockwaves through college football. AJ shares what it was like being on the other sideline during that game, carrying the weight of Alabama’s dynasty, and how Nick Saban became obsessed with finding ways to stop Johnny Football. The rivalry between the two schools comes to life in this episode, with AJ offering insight into the pressure of playing for Saban and leading a program where every Saturday felt like a national championship. Johnny opens up about how his style of play changed the way defenses prepared, and how Alabama was the ultimate test for his game. Together, they relive the intensity of those matchups that made SEC football must-watch every week. Beyond the college days, AJ looks back on his NFL career with the Cincinnati Bengals—what he learned, the highs and lows of his time in the league, and how those experiences shaped him as a competitor. The episode also delivers one of the wildest untold stories in SEC lore: how both Johnny and AJ ended up getting kicked out of the Manning Passing Academy. It’s a behind-the-scenes moment only these two could tell, and one that sheds light on the chaos and fun of being young quarterbacks with the spotlight on them. This episode blends unforgettable college football history, behind-the-scenes NFL perspective, and stories you won’t hear anywhere else from two quarterbacks who defined an era in the SEC.

  • Johnny Manziel & Randall Cobb on Owning the Bears, Untold Aaron Rodgers Stories & Packers "What Ifs"
    Randall Cobb joins Johnny Manziel on Glory Daze to look back on the moments that defined his career. He takes Johnny inside his years in Green Bay, sharing what it was like catching passes from Aaron Rodgers, the chemistry that made their connection so dangerous, and the “what ifs” that still linger around the Packers’ near-dynasty. From playoff heartbreak to unforgettable nights at Lambeau Field, Cobb reflects on an era that came close to rewriting NFL history. No Packers story is complete without the rivalry, and Cobb has plenty to say about beating the Bears and keeping that tradition alive with memorable performances. He and Johnny talk about what it meant to wear the green and gold, how the expectations of Packers fans shaped him as a player, and the responsibility that comes with being part of one of the league’s most storied franchises. The conversation blends football history with inside-the-huddle perspective that fans rarely get to hear. The episode also rewinds to Cobb’s Kentucky days, where he became one of the SEC’s most versatile playmakers and went head-to-head with Cam Newton. He shares how those battles shaped him, what it took to transition from a dual-threat college star to a decade-long NFL career, and why adaptability was the key to his success. With Johnny leading the way, this Glory Daze episode is part trip down memory lane, part inside story, and part reminder of why Randall Cobb’s journey stands out in football.

  • Johnny Manziel & Ric Flair On Partying With John Cena & The Mystery Behind Hulk Hogan's Death
    Johnny Manziel is back with another wild episode of Glory Daze, and this time he’s sitting down with the one and only Ric Flair. From the golden age of wrestling to his iconic “Woooo!” that still echoes through arenas, Flair opens up about what it took to become a legend in and out of the ring. The Nature Boy doesn’t hold back—sharing stories about crossing paths with The Rock, his thoughts on John Cena’s rise, and even weighing in on the mystery surrounding Hulk Hogan’s death that’s had fans talking. Flair’s larger-than-life career is full of moments that defined professional wrestling, and Johnny gets him to open up in a way few ever have. On top of it all, Flair flips the script and digs into Johnny’s own college football journey—from the chaos of Texas A&M to the Heisman spotlight—connecting sports, fame, and pressure in a way only these two could. And of course, the conversation wouldn’t be complete without Flair sounding off on his beef with Paul Finebaum, bringing college football culture right into the mix.
