You’ll read a lot of fantasy football draft tips this time of year preaching that there is only one way to win, one quarterback worth grabbing in the first round, or one player that could change the outcome of your championship game. While there may, in fact, be one quarterback this season who could win…… Continue reading 5 Pieces to Winning Your Fantasy Football League

The League S02E13: “The Sacko Bowl” Kicks Off [Season 2 Finale]
Let’s not struggle with the sadness of this moment, that a season of The League is once again coming to an end. Let’s, instead, celebrate what we have been given: a new champion, a new reason to look forward to next football season even if our fantasy football team sucks again in 2011 (there will,…… Continue reading The League S02E13: “The Sacko Bowl” Kicks Off [Season 2 Finale]
The League S02E12: “Kegel the Elf” Is Watching You
Season 2 is coming to an end. And while I’m sad to see it go, it went out with a bang with “Kegel the Elf” and “The Sacko Bowl” both in the same night. “Kegel the Elf” takes us to Ellie’s school Christmas concert. Kevin and Jenny watch on with pride while Pete joins them…… Continue reading The League S02E12: “Kegel the Elf” Is Watching You
The League S02E11: Death, Lies, and “Ramona Neopolitano”
Men learn at a very young age that boobs are distracting, and Ruxin proves this when his own wife starts breastfeeding his 19-month-old son while smoozing a client at dinner. Clearly, his son has already taken notice. Is 19 months too old to be breastfeeding? I have no idea, but the client’s reaction paired with…… Continue reading The League S02E11: Death, Lies, and “Ramona Neopolitano”
The League S02E10: Time for a “High School Reunion”
High school reunions are a special kind of awful. No one really wants to see their old classmates. If they did, they’d arrange to meet up with them on their own. People go to their high school reunion is to prove they are better than their high school selves. You go, as Ruxin so aptly…… Continue reading The League S02E10: Time for a “High School Reunion”
5 Player Moves the NFL Owes Fantasy Football (And Me)
The first few days of NFL free agency are like sitting in Santa’s lap. You can ask for anything you want with the assumption that you’ll get it. And I do that every year. Ask for things in free agency, that is. Not sit in Santa’s lap. Since the NFL left us cold and alone…… Continue reading 5 Player Moves the NFL Owes Fantasy Football (And Me)
One more reason to hope NFL lockout ends tomorrow
You may be rooting for the lockout to end by tomorrow because July 20 is the official date when players would have started reporting for training camp, but there’s another good reason to hope that the NFL and NFLPA finally come to an agreement on Wednesday. Free wings. Buffalo Wild Wings has promised that if…… Continue reading One more reason to hope NFL lockout ends tomorrow
5 Ways to Replace Monday Night Football During the NFL Lockout
The draft is over. The lockout continues. As of right now, we got no football. I’m getting cold sweats just thinking about it. But there’s another group that stands to lose if there’s no football this fall besides the coaches, players, and NFL fans — TV networks. Without football, they’ll have to find someway to…… Continue reading 5 Ways to Replace Monday Night Football During the NFL Lockout
Pondering Christian Ponder: NFL Draft 2011 First Round Fantasy Football Gut Reactions
I don’t get excited about who “won” the draft. I get excited about who I’ll draft for my fantasy football team. When it comes to fantasy relevance, the first round didn’t overwhelm us. The 2011 draft set a record for defensive linemen taken in the first round with 12, but it’s hard to say that…… Continue reading Pondering Christian Ponder: NFL Draft 2011 First Round Fantasy Football Gut Reactions
The League S02E09: Never Use Your Friend as an “Expert Witness”
We never have gotten to see the league members in their unnatural environment: their jobs. Sure, in Season 1, we saw Kevin and Ruxin negotiate a plea bargain and a trade of the No. 1 overall pick, but we never saw them in court. Pete’s been in an office, but we’ve never seen him working.…… Continue reading The League S02E09: Never Use Your Friend as an “Expert Witness”
