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.

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”
The League S02E08: “The Tie” is No Way to Retire as League Commissioner
You get no love for being a league commissioner. It’s a thankless job, but the good ones have the respect of their league even when they aren’t in agreement. And the very best ones have dirt on every member of the league. That comes in handy when there’s drama, when league members turn into assholes…or…… Continue reading The League S02E08: “The Tie” is No Way to Retire as League Commissioner

The League S02E06: Old Dude Causes a #Hardfall at “The Anniversary Party”
Ruxin seems to be a glutton for punishment this season, and this episode continued that trend as Taco tortured Ruxin by tricking him into throwing an anniversary party for his wife. But is Taco really that evil and smart? There’s no way to tell if he is just a completely oblivious of his actions or…… Continue reading The League S02E06: Old Dude Causes a #Hardfall at “The Anniversary Party”
The League S02E05: This ain’t no sprint. It’s “The Marathon”
NOTARIZER! This fifth episode of Season 2 was one of the funniest yet. Pete’s back to plotting against Andre as Andre vainly tries to prove his superiority to the league, Kevin’s having issues at home with Jenny, Ruxin’s taking on “charity terrorism” like only the most sinister office dweller could, and Taco’s off on a…… Continue reading The League S02E05: This ain’t no sprint.

A promising beginning for Colt McCoy? ESPN doesn’t think so.
Going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is a tough task for any quarterback, but when you draw that challenge as the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns…and as your first NFL start…well, that’s nearly impossible. As such, ESPN has their doubts about Colt McCoy this week, not that you were thinking about starting him. With…… Continue reading A promising beginning for Colt McCoy? ESPN doesn’t think so.

Rafi’s back and so is the hate! Oh, sweet, intolerant hate! I know I said I liked Rafi. I know I said we could use some more of him, but I swear that it was a moment of weakness.
