THE LEAGUE: The Final Fantasy is out on DVD today, June 14, 2016! What they tell us: “Shenanigans ensue for the last time as Taco, Ruxin, Pete, Jenny, Kevin, and Andre make their final attempt to win the elusive Shiva trophy in season 7, the final season, of The League.  To be a fan of The League, you don’t need to know much about fantasy football, or sports at all.

My Take On….THE LEAGUE Season 6 Premiere on FXX

DVD Review: THE LEAGUE Season 4

America’s favorite pastime – talking smack to your buddies and making their lives miserable – is elevated to hilarious new heights in the uproarious Season Four of THE LEAGUE.  This season kicks off with the arrival of Kevin and Jeny’s baby…and the race to the Shiva Bowl is on!  As Taco tangles with Chicago Bears great Jim McMahon and Andre’s tailgating plans go horribly awry, the rest of the guys contend with dirty trades, circumcision debates, breast-a-lyzers, and blackmail.  Make

My Take On…THE LEAGUE’s 5th Season Premiere on FXX

Tonight on FXX, Season 5 of THE LEAGUE premieres after an all new IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY, and I honestly couldn’t be happier.  The show that I avoided like the plague in Season 1 (I was misinformed – I’ve since gone back and kicked myself for missing out) has become one of the shows I most look forward to every fall.

Thursday Must Watch: THE LEAGUE s3 premiere!

I’m not sure when THE LEAGUE went from “that show that I can’t be bothered with” to “that show that I can’t miss,” but I’m so glad that it did.  This crazy world of Ruxin, Pete, Andre, Taco, Jenny, and Kevin is one of my favorite places to escape to on Thursday nights.  I couldn’t ask for a better birthday present this year than the Season 3 Premiere! In tonight’s all new episode, Ruxin continues to rub his previous season
