CFB With Andy Staples, CM Punk In Studio, MNF Doubleheader, Tush Push On The Ropes + FAQ’s

Wednesday, September 17, 202513 takes

Monday Night Doubleheader and Baker is the most fun QB to watch in the NFL. We talk Texans, pinky team, and a bet for the Chiefs to win the SB. Raiders completely ruined the good football vibes with a drive to nowhere and Justin Herbert continues to dominate while Tom Brady watched from the booth. The Tush Push may finally be on its way out after this weekend (-). Hot Seat/Cool Throne including a rock skipping competition and a terrible Ken Rosenthal apology (-). Andy Staples joins the show to talk a wild weekend in CFB, is Notre Dame cooked? Miami dominant, Tennessee/Georgia, Heisman and tons more (-). CM Punk joins us in studio ahead of Wrestlepalooza to talk his career, being back at WWE, Cubs and more (-). We finish with listener FAQ’s (-).

The 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.

The 2025 NFL season is underway; if the Texans do not win the Super Bowl, he is correct. Outcome pending.

I 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.

Outcome depends on the Chiefs' 2025 postseason success.

The 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.

Subjective strategy for injury management, though Daniels' health throughout the 2025 season will be the indicator.

This 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.

The NFL Competition Committee's offseason ruling in 2026 will determine if this prediction holds.

I 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.

Pending a physical competition/video evidence between the three.

Teams should only celebrate clinching the division, not the Wild Card or DS

Clinching the playoffs is absolutely celebration worthy... I think when you win the wild card division series, it's like, this should be business as usual. Like we are, we're here now to win a championship. Let's focus on that.

Purely a subjective view on sports etiquette.

Billy Napier's firing at Florida is inevitable and could happen soon

It feels inevitable that that he'll get fired. But the problem guys is it felt inevitable last year... I don't see a way out of this for Billy because they're gonna lose. You would think most of these games against the good teams.

Napier was under immense pressure; outcome depends on Florida's 2025 season results.

Arch 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.

This claim is about a specific point in time (Sept 2025). Correctness depends on his performance throughout the remainder of the season.

A 10-2 Notre Dame team will definitely make the College Football Playoff

I know that a 10 and two Notre Dame team will be in the college football playoff because that's just how it works... If they go 10 and two, they will be in the college football playoff.

The CFP selection committee results will determine this in December 2025.

Miami 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.

Outcome decided by the 2025 CFP tournament.

Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, Terry Funk, Eddie Guerrero, Harley Race, and Dusty Rhodes are the all-time greats

I like to say six grandfathers instead of Mount Rushmore... Brett Hart... Roddy Piper... Terry Funk... Eddie Guerrero... Harley Race... Dusty Rhodes. Six with a bullet.

Subjective ranking of wrestling greats.

St. 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.

Opinion on a city's quality and food.

The 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.

The Oilers have failed to win the Cup during the McDavid era thus far; this remains pending for future seasons.
