THE OFFICE â Bears. Beets. Broncos.
Thursday marked the NFL's 2023 regular schedule release, which is a big deal for some reason. It's turned into an evening where all 32 teams get creative in announcing their schedule for the upcoming season. There were some pretty entertaining videos this year, whether it's the Chicago Bears spoofing "The Bear" or the Tennessee Titans asking random people on the street to name the teams they're playing based on their logos.
The Denver Broncos took it another direction, as the world's best boss, Peyton Manning, enlists former Planning Party Committee chair Angela Martin to put together the perfect schedule release party.
And much like the PPC fans of "The Office" remember, the committee barely does anything much, to Angela's dismay, in a video full of references that also highlights the team's upcoming opponents.

Conference room, five minutes.

Broncos mascot Miles sends a rock to the Houston Texans' counterpart like he's Toby Flenderson, while also spilling a giant pot of New England clam chowder, much like Kevin's famous chili. Of course, Angela knows a sĖķtĖķaĖķtĖķeĖķ senator as the committee talks about hosting the Washington Commanders. It's clear the team's media department did its homework.
At its worst, it's a silly parody to help fans forget about the miserable season the Broncos endured last year. At its best, it released this year's schedule.
