Ruxin is an evil soul, but even those most evil of forces cannot be denied salvation. Ruxin finds it himself and a possible deliverance from fantasy suffering when a chance encounter with the brethren of The Light of Genesis, arranged by Pete as part of a prank war between he and Ruxin, exposes him to…… Continue reading The League S03E10: The Light of Genesis be with you, praise be

The League S03E09: “The Out of Towner” on Cocaine
Since The League first aired, I’ve always been curious what life was like for the out-of-town league members while Ruxin, Pete, Kevin, Jenny, Taco, and Andre trash-talk and prank each other in Chicago. In “The Out of Towner,” we finally got a chance to peel back the curtain and meet Chuck, one of the nameless league…… Continue reading The League S03E09: “The Out of Towner” on Cocaine
The League S03E08: Thanksgiving brings family together (for tur-guinea)
Jeff Goldblum and Sarah Silverman?! It truly is a time for Thanksgiving. And this year, we give thanks for awkward family reunions (and guinea pigs). To celebrate the season, Ellie volunteered to take care of the class guinea pig over the Thanksgiving break. Personally, I think it’s never a good idea for a kid to…… Continue reading The League S03E08: Thanksgiving brings family together (for tur-guinea)
The League S03E07: Carmenjello kills zipper fairies
What have we not ruined of Ruxin’s yet? Sex life? So let’s get right on that by having his wife Sofia accuse him of “breast favoritism” and shut him down for the night. But we’re not just picking on Ruxin this episode. Kevin’s got his own problems in the bedroom because Ellie’s room is under…… Continue reading The League S03E07: Carmenjello kills zipper fairies
The League S03E06: Yobogoya! Will Destroy Ya
This episode brought both the shits and the giggles. Literally. The season is all about destroying Ruxin — body, mind and what’s left of his soul. I’m sure somewhere in The Art of War it details exactly the strategy Ruxin’s faced through the first half of this season. First, you crush their spirit by ruining their…… Continue reading The League S03E06: Yobogoya! Will Destroy Ya
The League S03E05: Bobbum Man joins MyFace for Kevin and Jenny’s Sexiversary
Since The League already destroyed the nurturing educational foundation of Ruxin’s child and Ruxin’s life in his own home, it seems we, at long last, are left with little but the mental side of Ruxin’s fantasy football game on our path to deconstructing Ruxin this season. Ruxin’s leaving points on his bench, and the stress…… Continue reading The League S03E05: Bobbum Man joins MyFace for Kevin and Jenny’s Sexiversary
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)
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? What better way to begin a season of The…… Continue reading The League S03E01: The Lockout with your Dirty Randy out
