Mike Tunison of Kissing Suzy Kolber makes his return to the show to review SummerSlam and preview the NFL season. We meander through some wrestling conversation first, focusing mainly on Daniel Bryan as the new Steve Austin and Triple H as the new Vince McMahon. We compare Bryan to Austin literally and go down a path that leads us to WWE's ring destruction fetish and Mick Foley nearly killing himself in the ring. An offhand Brock Lesnar/Jimmy John's joke moves onto some food discussion, including the concept of the ramen burger, New York's culinary provincialism, Triple H as the KFC Double Down, Randy Orton a leathery hot dog in Donkey sauce, and the Doritos Locos taco. We also get into The Shield as a paramilitary group and whether fans like us could cut it in the WWE writers' room.
Onto the NFL preview, we start with his Steelers, who stumbled last year. We talk about whether this will be a bounceback year for them, and how they'll replace Mike Wallace. We ponder whether the Ravens lost too much and if the Bengals are a slam dunk to win the division. We go over the Patriots' shit show of an offseason, whether coaching has done in and will do in the Broncos, how much the Colts may regress, the read option teams of the NFC West, the Falcons offense, and the Saints defense. Of course, I have to ask about the Eagles, and from there the discussion goes into offensive innovation on the whole. Finally, we get into what it's like to have to cover the dregs of journalism known as Peter King.
