So this isn’t an Office reboot, but this might be the closest thing we get ladies and gents. Netflix released an official announcement  to their new show with Michael Scott actor Steve Carell and The Office director Greg Daniels. The announcement was….well, an announcement. It showed us nothing more than the words that their wasContinueContinue reading “Netflix and Steve Carell have made a work place comedy with The Office Producer, Greg Daniels.”

Let’s just start off this one by saying no, Kyler Murray will not go number one overall in this draft. Kliff Kingsbury has come out to say that his previous mentions of taking Kyler Murray #1 Overall were something out of The Matrix considering what are the odds that the new coach would have this pickContinueContinue reading “Coaching Changes – Can Kliff Help the Rosen One?”

This article was written by Thoughts From the Bench’s newest writer, Smalls. Wow. It’s been another incredible, albeit predictable, college football season. The season started with unbelievable hype around the supposed Hawaiian Jesus himself, Tua Tagovailoa. Urban Meyer was somehow only suspended for three games after poorly handling the Zach Smith situation (“poorly handling” isContinueContinue reading “College Football Season Wrap-up: How Do We Fix the current CFP?”

Unbelievable. I can’t remember the last time I looked at something so elite like Alabama and thought “They are getting their asses kicked on the biggest stage”. Last nights National Championship game didn’t disappoint, unless you wanted to see Saban beat Bear for his 7th national championship. Clemson was dominant, and Trevor Lawrence proved thatContinueContinue reading “Clemson Wins the Nattty”

I would like to start off by saying that even if the Steelers would have limped into the playoffs, the Chargers are legit Super Bowl contenders this year and it would have taken arguably our best game ever to defeat LA today. We OBVIOUSLY would have done better than the Ravens, but still that wouldContinueContinue reading “The Ravens have made their decision….was it the right one?”

It might look bad for a Steelers fan to tell the Ravens organization to trade their Super Bowl winning quarterback, but at this point the Ravens must move on from Flacco. Joe Flacco is not elite, let’s just start there. Flacco helped the team win Super Bowl XLVII and was the MVP in the notoriousContinueContinue reading “Joe Flacco Must Go…..But Who Needs Him?”

So, if you have followed anything about Thoughts From the Bench or Two Beers Deep, you know I have a strong and binding love to the Lakers organization. If you ever doubt my loyalty, just know that I loved the Lakers when their best player was Nick Young, as brutal as that was. The currentContinueContinue reading “Anthony Davis to the Lakers – How Realistic is it”

Hi @ManUtd, we’ve received a CV from Mr J Mourinho. He’s just applied for a job as pizza chef. Please can you send through a reference. Thanks. — Pizza Hut Restaurants (@pizzahutuk) December 18, 2018   Look….no one is Sir Fergie. No one. And when Fergie was done, we all knew tough roads were ahead.ContinueContinue reading “Breaking News – Manchester United Sacks Mourinho. “

The cover image is a friendly reminder that Mark Sanchez still got paid to play football. Yikes. What would the world be if not for hypotheticals? They’re fun, exciting, and carry little weight in my personal record book of being right or wrong. The NFL is what we all need in life. A little dramaContinueContinue reading “Way Too Soon Predicitions – Quarterback Shuffle”

Greg and I have discussed this many times…should players sit out of bowl games if they have already declared for the NFL draft? Personally, I see zero issue with this, and I think Greg was on the same page except for the fact that eventually, we might see people sitting out of the College FootballContinueContinue reading “Will Grier to Sit Out of WVU’s Bowl Game”
