Episode 3 gets back to the heart of Ruxin’s dark heart and the trash-talk that makes this league tick. They even threw in a little love interest to remind us of the Shiva competition from last season. Who’s balls will she touch first? Let’s dive right in. Episode 3 opens with Pete and Ruxin watching…… Continue reading The League S02E03: What a Beautiful Package for “The White Knuckler”

Fantasy Football Culture is special. It’s an obsession, a hobby, and an attitude. We cultivate it as we talk about all things fantasy football or fantasy sports — whether it’s on TV, online, or any part of the fantasy football league experience.
The League S02E02: Rafi Vom. That’s a shot, right, “Bro-Lo El Cuñado”?
What goes up must come down. That’s a law of marriage. In this week’s episode of “The League,” titled “Bro-Lo El Cuñado,” the married gents try to score points with the wives while Rafi begins to run amok throughout the league’s inner circle. Lots of vomit in this one so let’s get started with two…… Continue reading The League S02E02: Rafi Vom. That’s a shot, right, “Bro-Lo El Cuñado”?
The League S02E01: What Happens in “Vegas Draft”
Yes. This season, in honor of fantasy football’s only sitcom…and really, fantasy football’s only TV show outside of ESPN, I’ve decided to recap each episode of “The League,” which comes on Thursday nights at 10:30 p.m. EST on FX, in case you missed the announcement. This recap for Episode 1 ran a bit behind because…… Continue reading The League S02E01: What Happens in “Vegas Draft”
Why Jahvid Best is the Best
With a name like Best, you should have known he was going to be good, but this video might also have helped clue you in on his talent. http://youtu.be/dl6M1jSZcto You can only blame yourself for not getting a piece of this guy in your own fantasy football draft. I’ve heard people compare him to Chris…… Continue reading Why Jahvid Best is the Best
Now about that Calvin Johnson catch
Was a touchdown (and, therefore, six fantasy points, which is really what we care about here) stolen from Megatron this week by the refs? I know there has been plenty of discussion this week about how goofy the rules are surrounding completing a catch in the end zone, and I agree that those rules could…… Continue reading Now about that Calvin Johnson catch

This goes out to you, DeAngelo Hall
In honor of the Cowboys at Redskins face-off tonight, I give you this lovely, artistic interpretation of what it’s like to be the NFL’s most self-conscious cornerback, DeAngelo “Get Shorty” Hall. [Since the original featured video “Body Image is Not Just Dress Size,” a spoken word performance, has been removed from YouTube, this will have…… Continue reading This goes out to you, DeAngelo Hall
Gary Busey should be in every commercial. Ever.
No, seriously. Gary Busey should just pitch every product that wants to advertise on TV, especially when it comes to fantasy football. Just look at this series of ads he did for vitaminwater. I saw the first of these when it ran on ESPN last night during the SportsCenter Fantasy Draft Special. http://youtu.be/NDJEderwtB0 I don’t…… Continue reading Gary Busey should be in every commercial. Ever.
Martz be crazy: Why you should draft your Bears this season
As we await the Chicago Bears debut tonight in preseason action, I can’t wait to see if their little offseason experiment worked. When it comes to offense, Mike Martz is a kamikaze. His “leap of faith” system is as likely to blow up on a game-by-game basis as it is to succeed. While respected at…… Continue reading Martz be crazy: Why you should draft your Bears this season
The Football Fan’s Manifesto: A Foolish Book Review
When it comes to product reviews and book reviews in particular, I’ve been pretty bad about getting to them in a timely manner. Exhibit A: This review. I read plenty…online, but this review required me to put down the laptop and pick up a book this offseason. I have to say that it was worth…… Continue reading The Football Fan’s Manifesto: A Foolish Book Review
