Another week of the NFL season has passed. I would like to first congratulate my opponent this week Cornhole Partner Ryan Mitchell. You put up a hell of a fight. Unfortunately your team was simply no match for the performance of OBJ and Nick Chubb on Monday Night Football. This week was not all greatContinueContinue reading “Good Night Sweet Prince (Money Ball)”

Top 5 Reasons To Hate Penn State
If you’re from Pennsylvania you’re either Pitt or Penn State, simple as that. Being born and raised in Pittsburgh, and having a dad who works at Pitt made my decision very easy. Growing up I didn’t mind Penn State, I enjoyed watching the games and really didn’t understand the whole rivalry concept. However, as theContinueContinue reading “Top 5 Reasons To Hate Penn State”
The NFL Has Peaked
If I can ask one thing of the NFL, it would be to not have a double header of Monday Night Football again. If I get a second question to ask, can every Monday night football be the Saints vs. the Texans? Those are too outlandish of requests, right? Last night was peak NFL. JustContinueContinue reading “The NFL Has Peaked”
Moneyball Week One
What up What up, Football is back. And with it comes the best version of the sport, Fantasy Football. It has been well documented on Thoughts From the Bench that I have a very unique drafting system. Using what I call the Moneyball scheme I attempt to capture the star players from three teams toContinueContinue reading “Moneyball Week One”
AB Has Been Released
WHAT IS GOING ON. Antonio Brown has just willed himself to be released, a move that is just so unbelievable….unbelievable.

Congratulations To Us All…We Made It
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT. I literally haven’t been this excited since…well the beginning of last year. The NFL season is back and I finally feel justified for the countless hours of staring at Fantasy Football rankings. I’m just happy footballs back as a whole, but College Football isn’t quite the emotional rollercoaster that I callContinueContinue reading “Congratulations To Us All…We Made It”

Buffalo Bills Cut Shady
On the cusp of a pathetic Manchester United performance where I had to watch Greg be happy with one point (heartbreaking), ESPN’s Shefty has reported that the Buffalo Bills have released Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGHucMa_XZQ If any player has ever given me anxiety on the field, it’s McCoy’s inability to hold theContinueContinue reading “Buffalo Bills Cut Shady”
Deke Needs an NCAA Team
At TFTB, I normally ask the guys to participate in certain things. A list of questions they have to answer that only three guys did, football shirt ideas that only four guys did, and my favorite, a draft party where two guys attended. Hot Seat – my idea of the word “fun”. Recently, I taskedContinueContinue reading “Deke Needs an NCAA Team”
So you drafted Andrew Luck and/or Lamar Miller…Now What?
It’s a Saturday night. You’re young and invincible. Having fun. Your fantasy team is shaping up to be the best it has in years. But then, tragedy strikes. You either drafted Andrew Luck, Lamar Miller, or worse…BOTH. You scroll Twitter as the pain and heartbreak mount. You feel sick to your stomach.
