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

The League S02E05: This ain’t no sprint. It’s “The Marathon”

Episode 3 opens with Pete and Ruxin watching…… Continue reading The League S02E03: What a Beautiful Package for “The White Knuckler”
