Workball

It’s almost NBA Playoffs time, which means nobody at The Kicker is getting any work done.

If your coworker shot a napkin into a trash can, you might call him the “Michael Jordan Of The Office”. But this is The Kicker’s offices, so sports analogies have to go a lot deeper than that. Zack pushes Rob to make his sports analogies much more specific than any sane person would ever go.

Every office or friend group has a bandwagon fan. In The Kicker's offices, that's Zack, who decided to become a Warriors fan after Golden State's win last night. This infuriates Conor, a lifelong Dubs fanatic who suffered through many horrible seasons to enjoy the team's current success.

Dave's worried about Rob's private meeting. No problem: Zack has Rob "Mic'd Up".

You know those annoying people who always say "basketball was better in the past"? Zack has a new twist on that, and Rob doesn't like it. Aren't those people who always say "basketball was better in the past" annoying? Rob thinks so. Every office has the "sports was better in the past" guy. In The Kicker office, it's Zack.

When Zack gives notes on scripts, it feels more like he's trash-talking the author.

So many of baseball’s rules are unwritten. Like that one about how you can’t eat the baseball.

The Greatest Moment in Yankee History? Jeter's The Flip? Aaron Boone's walk-off homer? Babe Ruth's Called Shot? It's none of these things, according to Zack.

The Seahawks are right: Thursday Night NFL games suck.

There's only one GOAT. But other athletes deserve cool nicknames, too -- like the GLOAT. Don't know what that means? That's OK. The Kicker guys are here to guide you down the rabbit hole.

Wearing a Jets hat is fine. And wearing a Jets shirt is fine. But wearing a Jets hat and a Jets shirt at the same time? That’s just weird. Something is wrong with Rob.

What if your coworker suddenly forgot how to do the basic things, like Markelle Fultz? Well it happened to Rob. Rob is the Markelle Fultz of the office.

We've all binge watched seasons of Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. But what about binge watching seasons of the NBA? As Conor explains, binge watching sports might just be the future.
