The League: it's like Friends for football nerds.

I often like to advertise the TV shows that I enjoy watching. Perhaps it's because it seems like there is so much dreck being streamed into my face every day that I feel that these unappreciated gems are worth highlighting.
I won’t waste a whole lot of time talking up specific episodes, but there are little bits of the show which I find to be highly memorable. Like the time that Andre and Pete blackmailed Ruxin into making a bad player trade in the middle of the blindfolded S&M session with his bed-bound, scantily clad wife. Or the time that Ruxin decided that he should interrupt NFL All Pro Tight End Antonio Gates’ day spa visit by chewing him out over his ridiculous performance that led to his fantasy team losing.



I especially enjoyed when they ventured to Vegas for a fantasy football draft and an intoxicated Andre accidentally fell onto a giant trophy of himself, with his own "head" getting lodged into his own rear end. And the time that Taco found a toilet seat made of cocaine and became a toilet sitting addict. And the time that Taco robbed Kevin's house in a giant Elmo outfit when he was actually supposed to scary Kevin's kids into no longer liking the kid's playhood hero. Nothing makes you smile like a man stalking through a house in an Elmo suit while holding a large cleaver.
The show seems to stand on it’s own with an entertaining cast and good writing, but simply with the backdrop of guys who are in a fantasy football league. I would even venture to say that non-fantasy football playing people would enjoy the show, but now in it’s second season it has start to heavily feature NFL players and themes, so I would not count it as a slam dunk. But I like it, and for those who enjoy comedy shows that are all about the humor, I really recommend it.
