The League S03E04: Kevin’s Ol’ Smoke Crotch and Golden Gating with Rafi

It seems Ruxin’s finally paying for all his misdeeds this season…or could it be that there’s a Madden curse hex on the champion of the league? Andre did get a taste of his own medicine when he defiled the trophy after winning the last year. So far in Ruxin’s reign, his son has missed his chance…… Continue reading The League S03E04: Kevin’s Ol’ Smoke Crotch and Golden Gating with Rafi

The League S03E03: Ruxin gets The Au Pair (or Ruxin finally grows Au Pair)

When we last left The League, the guys had just ruined any chance of Baby Geoffrey getting into a good Jewish preschool with Nazism and porn. It sounds hard to do, but in this crew, it’s really not. With that educational opportunity out of the picture, Ruxin hatches a new plan to salvage Baby Geoffrey’s childhood. He’s…… Continue reading The League S03E03: Ruxin gets The Au Pair (or Ruxin finally grows Au Pair)

Bye Week. No, really, we’re taking a bye week.

We’re taking a bye week (or two) here at Fantasy Football Fools as I go on IR to have a ball and chain attached. That’s right. I’m getting married this weekend. So we’re taking a two-week “bye week” while I’m getting hitched and honeymooning. I won’t have access to the Internet or Twitter, but hopefully,…… Continue reading Bye Week. No, really, we’re taking a bye week.

The League S03E02: The Sukkah never trades

Trades. Every league wants trades. They keep the league competitive and promote inspired conversation between league members. But it’s very difficult to maintain the culture that allows for them within a league because they are the most dangerous version of in-season gambling. Play a trade well…and you’ll have the envy and hatred of the rest…… Continue reading The League S03E02: The Sukkah never trades

The League S03E01: The Lockout with your Dirty Randy out

All this season, just like last season, I’ll be recapping episodes of FX’s The League, a tribute to fantasy football culture in sitcom form. Stop by every Friday to discuss the highlights of each episode and commemorate the best trash talk and one-liners. Bang-bang! What’s the hang?

Own your very own Kluneberg from The League

If you watched The League, you probably imagined which character you were most like in your own fantasy football league. Are you a Kevin? Married to an awesome wife? Generally happy about things? Slightly frustrated with the way your team turns out every year? Or are you the Pete? Nonchalant? A master of the fantasy…… Continue reading Own your very own Kluneberg from The 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”
