Andy Staples, CM Punk, and Big Cat’s Pinky Bet Disaster
Big Cat is back in the danger zone. After years of avoiding the ultimate physical sacrifice, the Houston Texans' lackluster start has pushed him over the edge. Baker Mayfield is currently playing the best football of his life, which unfortunately came at the expense of CJ Stroud and a Texans offense that can't seem to score from the one-yard line. Big Cat is so convinced the Texans are frauds that he’s putting his anatomy on the line again.
Big CatThe Texans are officially my Pinky Team and I don't think they can win the Super Bowl
The Texans are officially be my Pinky team... I will cut the tip of my pinky off of the Texans win the Super Bowl. That's a, that's a fair. And I don't even think, yeah. I hate the pinky bet. Yeah. I don't understand. I don't understand thrilling.
But he didn't stop there. Since the fans are bloodthirsty for some kind of permanent modification, he’s branched out into the world of tattoos. With the Chiefs looking like the only competent team in a top-heavy AFC, the fear of a three-peat is real, but the fear of a permanent Swiftie mark is greater.
Big CatI will get a Taylor Swift lyric tattooed on my body if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl
If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, I will get a Taylor Swift lyric tattooed on my body... in a place that can be seen. I get to pick the lyric, but I will have it on my body.
MNF Doubleheader and the Death of the Tush Push
The guys broke down a Monday Night doubleheader that gave us the highs of Baker Cook and the lows of whatever the Raiders were doing on that 19-play drive to nowhere. PFT is already looking ahead to the Commanders' next game and is ready to bubble-wrap Jayden Daniels to avoid the cursed turf at FedEx Field.
PFT CommenterThe Commanders should bench Jaden Daniels this weekend to protect him from the FedEx Field turf
I act, I don't wanna see Jayden this weekend. Oh, I, I think we should sit him. Okay. Because I, I'm still dealing with my PTSD Post-Traumatic Snyder disorder. When Robert Griffin had a sprained knee, came back too soon, everything was bad after that... Every quarterback has gotten injured on that turf.
Speaking of strategy, the Bengals' quarterback situation is so dire that PFT has a simple solution for Zac Taylor: forget the forward pass entirely. With Joe Burrow out, the room is looking more like a specialized ground-and-pound unit than a modern NFL offense.
PFT CommenterThe Bengals should only run the ball with their current backup quarterback room
They [the Bengals] should not try to pass. They should just try to run the football. That's because those four [backup] names—Jake Browning, Sean Clifford, Brett Rypien, and Mike White—that's literally a Mount Rushmore of 'hand the ball off.' Do not try to pass the ball.
We also have to prepare for the end of an era. The NFL seems to have finally gathered enough "officiating controversy" evidence to put the Tush Push in the graveyard. Between the constant offsides screenshots and the refs moving linemen back on Monday night, the writing is on the wall.
PFT CommenterThis will be the final season of the Tush Push as the NFL prepares to ban it
And now we're getting everything that we need, all the ammunition necessary for at the end of the season for it to be banned. It's gonna be, this is the last season of the push. It's banned.
College Football with Andy Staples
Andy Staples joined the show to help make sense of a Saturday that saw the SEC hierarchy get shuffled once again. The biggest shocker isn't the coaching carousel, but the fact that a Manning might actually be... bad? Arch Manning's recent performance has everyone questioning if the yips have moved into Austin.
Andy StaplesArch Manning stinks right now and is a fundamentally different quarterback than we expected
I don't know what the hell this is. It looks like he's throwing from a different arm slot... I thought maybe he could be average at worst. I don't know what the hell this is... it does feel like it's mental. It feels like the yips almost.
Andy is also high on the U, suggesting that Mario Cristobal has finally built a complete roster that might be the best value in the country right now. While Florida fans wait for the inevitable Billy Napier pink slip, Miami is looking like a legitimate threat to crash the playoff party.
Andy StaplesMiami is a complete team and a great value at 16-to-1 to win the National Championship
I would put them [Miami] above LSU in Texas. 'Cause it's easier for them to make the playoffs... they fixed the defense. The defense stunk last year... they're a much more complete team.
CM Punk in Studio
CM Punk made his return to the studio ahead of Wrestlepalooza to talk about his WWE comeback, the joy of working with his wife AJ Lee again, and his absolute disdain for the city of St. Louis. He didn't hold back on the "Provel" cheese or the vibes of the city in general.
CM PunkSt. Louis is a terrible city with shit sports teams and paste-like pizza
St. Louis isn't great. Sports teams shit. Pizza not good. I don't even think it's cheese. I think they use like, some sort of glue or paste. It's a whole, whole entire city of people sitting under an arch eating paste.
He also gave us his "Six Grandfathers" of wrestling, a expanded version of the Mount Rushmore that honors the legends who built the business. While he's enjoying his current run, he's also keeping a close eye on other sports, specifically calling out the Edmonton Oilers for being the NHL's version of the Maple Leafs.
CM PunkThe Edmonton Oilers are choke artists and will never win a Stanley Cup
He [McDavid] ain't winning a cup in, in Edmonton. No. Oh. Not at all. They fucking, they're choke artists. They might, they might as well might as well be Maple Leafs. It ain't, it ain't gonna fucking happen.
Hot Seat/Cool Throne
Hank is on the Hot Seat for his hubris after claiming he is a world-class rock skipper following the recent cheating scandal in the world stone skimming championships. Big Cat and PFT are already planning a lake-side showdown to prove that Hank's arm angle is just as broken as his golf swing.
HankI am a better rock skipper than both Big Cat and PFT Commenter
I think I'm better than PFT... I didn't say guaranteed, but I think I am [better than both]. I don't know. I just think I'm, I think I'm a good, I'm, I have a lot of experience skipping rocks.
We finished the show with some listener FAQs, including which member of the show has the best body—a title Hank holds by default simply because he's the only one who believes he's capable of seeing a six-pack again.
At least we know if anyone goes to jail, Big Cat is the only one reliable enough to pick up the one phone call.
