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
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”
The League S02E10: Time for a “High School Reunion”
High school reunions are a special kind of awful. No one really wants to see their old classmates. If they did, they’d arrange to meet up with them on their own. People go to their high school reunion is to prove they are better than their high school selves. You go, as Ruxin so aptly…… Continue reading The League S02E10: Time for a “High School Reunion”
5 Ways to Replace Monday Night Football During the NFL Lockout
The draft is over. The lockout continues. As of right now, we got no football. I’m getting cold sweats just thinking about it. But there’s another group that stands to lose if there’s no football this fall besides the coaches, players, and NFL fans — TV networks. Without football, they’ll have to find someway to…… Continue reading 5 Ways to Replace Monday Night Football During the NFL Lockout
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
