The calculators are out.
The tears are flowing.
And the Bengals’ playoff hopes? Officially cooked. 🧮😭
On Episode 260 of The Far End of the Bench, we dive headfirst into NFL Playoff chaos, starting with first-round picks as the postseason kicks off Friday, then boldly predicting the entire bracket like nothing bad could ever come back to haunt us.
We take a necessary (and painful) moment to mourn the emotional and mathematical end of the Bengals season, because sometimes the numbers don’t lie — and sometimes they hurt even worse when they do.
Then we say what everyone else is scared to admit:
The Denver Broncos run the NFL right now.
Respect is no longer optional.
But this episode isn’t just football.
We also spend a long, emotional segment on John Cena’s final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, breaking down what the moment meant, why it hit harder than expected, and how it officially closed a chapter for an entire generation of fans.
To cap it off, we rank our Top 5 John Cena matches of all time, revisiting the classics, debating the legacy, and giving Cena his flowers as one of the most important figures in WWE history — whether you loved him or loved to hate him.
We wrap everything up with Week 16 picks, plus our always-chaotic Player of the Week and Benchwarmer of the Week, because accountability matters — especially when you’re wrong.
