The League

The League is quite possibly one of the funniest shows that I watch. Mark and I were first introduced to it a while ago by the great Daniel & Cristin who claimed that it was such a great show and that we had to watch the first few episodes...so we did and they were right. For anyone who doesn't know about this gem, watch the clips below to get an idea of exactly how genius this semi-scripted comedy is (that's right, semi-scripted...which makes it even funnier since part of the dialogue is just pure improvisation).

This one gets pretty graphic...FYI.

 

 

And then there's this...

 

 

...and this...

 

 

...and finally, this.

 

 

 

Okay so as much as I like this show, this post wasn't intended to solely promote the genius of The League. Instead, I would like to address a very real problem that it showcases - addiction to fantasy football.

 

And now, I have a confession to make. I, too, am addicted to fantasy football. It started 6 weeks ago and I foresee this addiction persisting for as long as I keep beating everyone in my league. Because yes, the girl who only watched the occasional football game in years past, and who only knew the names of football players who were attractive, and who insisted upon wanting to draft Justin Tuck for her fantasy football team, is second in her league. What. Turns out, I'm a quick learner and I've gone from wanting to draft Justin Tuck (who by the way, I did end up drafting by drafting NYG defense, which was a colossal mistake) to knowing not to take the trade that Mark sweetly proposed (Darren Sproles for Darren McFadden...when McFadden was injured!). What a guy.

 

I'm proud of how far I've come. I absolutely cannot wait until next year's draft.

 

 

I would like to end this with a "thank you" to The League. If it weren't for your cunning wit, I may have never chosen to pursue this latest hobby of mine. Also, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the necessary inspiration for my team names. What started out as the Dirty Pirate Hookers (thank you Anchorman) has become Password is Taco and is currently The Double EntAndres. It's really too bad that RuxinLooksLikeAMiddleAgedLesbian exceeds the character limit.

 

 

 

Sweet sweet victory will be mine once I unseat Daniel from the #1 spot. Also, Mark needs to learn how to spell T'Variusness correctly. Key and Peele would be heartbroken.
