Truly Unbreakable Sports Records

July 2, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt 1 Comment

Cal Ripken Jr. 2130 Consecutive Game streak

(Feature Image via baltimoresun.com) This is to pay tribute to some of the most remarkable records ever achieved in sports. Not necessarily the best players or greatest moments, but the truly unbreakable sports records. DiMaggio’s 56 game hitting steak is incredible, but would you be that surprised if someone got 57? If someone scored 101 points in […]

NHL Chicago Blackhawks’ Dynasty

July 1, 2015 by Robert Hadley Leave a Comment

It may just be the beginning. The day that the new NHL season officially starts we take a look back at what, just a few weeks ago, was the cementing of this generations newest sports dynasty; the Chicago Blackhawks successfully completed a playoff run that helped them take home their third Stanley cup in six years. […]

Touching Stanley Cup without the White Gloves

June 24, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

NHL Stanley Cup at MGM

(Featured Photo Courtesy of Mike Jacobs / On The Bench Report) There were no While Gloves on my hand when I had the chance to touch The Stanley Cup.  That was quite a contrast to when Philip Pritchard, aka “The Keeper of the Cup”, holds the priceless piece of hardware that he is responsible for. […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 12

June 23, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Has anyone forfeited in the history of CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball?  Well, OTBR just learned that making a mistake before the games start on Monday can screw you for the entire week.  We apparently had too many reserve players and correcting the problem didn’t actually correct the problem. Unfortunately, we took a loss and get […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 11

June 22, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

This week brought us back to reality.  We got smoked.  We had the second lowest points, and Matrix had the most points for the week. Good old fashion ass whoopin’.  Our pitchers stunk it up, except for John Lackey, and our hitters were generally pretty average. Basher is again all alone in first, and we’re […]

Bay area sports are the Best

June 21, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Why the Bay Area is the best place to be a fan right now             Let me preface this article with a disclaimer: I’m a loyal fan of most of the teams in the Bay Area. My blood bleeds black and orange with the San Francisco Giants, I grew up watching Joe Montana and then Steve Young throw […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 10

June 15, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Guess what just happened?  OTBR became tied for first place with a win in Week 10 of the MLB Pride league of CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball! Thanks to Papa stacking his team with Kansas City Royals players and the game getting rained out last night.  Plus our last minute pickup of Jorge de la Rosa […]

Father’s Day – The Best Gift for Dad

June 11, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

ESPN 30 for 30 logo

I didn’t know much about the East Coast versus West Coast hip hop rivalry.  I honestly didn’t care who Suge Knight’s and Tupac Shakur’s industry enemies were.  I never had hatred for colleagues at other companies, so I didn’t really comprehend it. But Reggie Rock Bythewood’s “One Night in Vegas” story about the night that Tupac was […]

Trick Shot Series – Soccer Edition

June 9, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

(Top image courtesy of BBC Sport) Check out this clever move. There is nothing like a trick shot or play that works in an actual game setting-on the pitch (what we call a soccer field). This occurred across the pond in Europe during a FA WSL (Football Association Women’s Super League- the Women’s Premiere league if you […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 9

June 7, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Great win for Team OTBR!  That puts us alone in second place, which is a nice comeback from where we started in the cellar. Our team is starting to perform, and everyone (except Justin Verlander) is healthy.  All despite sitting Nolan Arenado in favor of Kyle Seager because he had one less game this week.  […]

Stanley Cup Finals Preview

June 5, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Feature image via Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Well, now. That was quite a Conference Finals, wasn’t it? Even if you aren’t a hockey fan, seeing both series go a full seven games is pretty remarkable, especially compared to the NBA Conference Finals which took nine games total for both series. The Lightning came up with a historic […]

Horse Racing needs a Triple Crown winner!

June 2, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

Top image is courtesy of (AP Photo/Morry Gash). The sport of horse racing could truly use a super-star equine and another super jockey. To give you a picture of just how long that has been, Jimmy Cater was the President of the United States, The Who and the Rolling Stones were still cranking out new hits, Jaws […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 8

June 1, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Another Win!  Team OTBR now 5-3 in the MLB Pride league in CBS Fantasy Baseball, and still tied for 2nd in our Division.  We had a good matchup, because we only outscored 3 teams in the league last week. We’re hopefully about the Clay Buckholz pickup.  He was supposed to have 2 starts this week, but […]

Team OTBR Fantasy Baseball Update: Week 7

May 24, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Week 7 of the MLB Pride league on CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball is in the books. Team OTBR had a great come from behind win in the MLB Pride league. We were way down coming into Sunday, but a huge day by Nolan Arenado and solid pitching by Gio Gonzalez and James Shields helped us […]
