Re: The League -- Season 2 -- Thurs. @ 10:30 on FX
I was gonna post the same thing. I even had a friend who was really into college football ask if he needs to be into fantasy football to appreciate the show. People assume it's a niche show for fantasy fanatics.
This show has really shot to the top of my list, it's one of the freshest and flat out hilarious comedies on TV right now. I love how all the characters have their turns for taking and giving shit, even Andre gets some great zingers in every episode.

That said, I got into it over the summer and
Surprised ratings are down, I think it will be canned if it does it next year...

I love this show. I'll miss Philly nowadays but I never miss this show. The put downs are fantastic and the guys seem like they are really friends. Wish I had friends that were this funny. Mine suck at put downs.

I could totally relate to Kevin getting burned by using ratings to chose between two guys. Yahoo's "experts" are the worst.
Good to have a non-annoying Taco story tonight.

I really didn't care for the stuff about Andre getting breasts. And having Ruxin's kid latch onto him was way over the top. Other than that, I really liked the episode.
Pete's Boss: "It is clear to us that you have been working on Fantasy Football and some out there porn."
Pete's Boss: " Foot and balls...could go either way."
Pete really is a dick, but I love how everything just sort of goes his way.
Sofia was great this episode. I loved her losing it on everyone. I don't understand why Ruxin didn't just tell Sofia he was using a fictional dead wife to get Fantasy Football tips?
Taco's running obituaries were great.
Kevin was on fire this episode. I loved him calling in and not being able to make any decisions himself. Having his daughter call in at the end was hilarious. Loved the final line: "...please don't call child services."
Next week is the Playoffs.

The entire episode was hilarious - the rips on Andre were coming in fast and furious, very funny and clever put-downs.

Loved it. This show is at its best when it's just the guys sitting around shooting the shit and trash talking to each other...and Taco is writing their obituaries.
I thought Andre's breastfeeding was hilarious.

They have no idea how to write Sophia. Although she's insanely hot, her personality switches about 3 times per episode she's in. Hell, even her nationality seems to jump back and forth.
She's smart, she's dumb, she all about family, she's neglectful, she's stuck up, she's insecure, she's mexican, she's a valley girl, etc etc.

I'm sure most of you have already seen this but I stumbled upon this the other day. Really funny especially at the end.

Could see Andre and the breastfeeding coming from a mile away but it was still hilarious.

Average episode, they really don't know what to do with Ruxin's wife.

I missed the last part of the show because of my stupid DVR. I've missed the last couple of minutes of all the shows I watch this week. I can't add time because I have too many shows I'm recording. I guess I need to find out when they re-air and DVR them on those days.

Thought it was a weak episode. It was kind of stupid how far they took Andre's transformation, Taco's obits never really paid off, and Ruxin having to fake a dead wife seemed a bit too contrived. Pete and Kevin's stories weren't bad, but not that memorable either. Just not a very inspired episode, felt a little phoned in.
Still, it wasn't terrible, an enjoyable half hour by average TV show standards.

Lots of great lines!
Jenny: Answer me this, sweetheart. Do you go soft cup or underwire?
Pete: Andre, can you at least assemble some sort of shitty comeback?
Pete: God speed, oh king of chardonnay.
Kevin: The good news is you won't have manstration anymore.
Andre: He's latched on. It's like he's sucking my nipple through a garden hose!

Thought the episode was way over the top and it definitely hurt it but still fun as usual.

Turns out FX is airing episodes 12 AND 13 tonight, back-to-back. So tonight will be the last episodes of the season. The "10:30" episode usually starts a few minutes after 10:30, which means the second episode won't start exactly at 11:00 either. Make sure to set your DVRs accordingly, otherwise you'll miss the season finale.
Synopsis for Episode 12, Kegel The Elf:
Synopsis for Episode 13, The Sacko Bowl:
(if you don't want to know who advances to the Shiva Bowl and who gets stuck in the Sacko Bowl, don't read this spoiler)
Still no word on whether the show is going to be renewed for a third season, so tonight's episode could actually be the series finale if there's no renewal. Hopefully it gets renewed though since it has been consistently funnier than It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which seems to have hit a rut this season.

Just an interesting tidbit, for anyone that didn't know, Pete (Mark Duplass) is actually married to Jenny (Katie Aselton) in real life.
---
I loved Kevin's reaction to Jenny calling Andre a cocktard.
Ruxin owned this episode, from top to bottom.
Him sending Ellie up to the attic to get the presents, promising her all this absurd stuff. I loved the comment about how she was even dumber than her parents.
Ruxin: "I can't go to a homeless shelter, they don't have DirectTV, duh!"
Kevin's breakdown at the end was absolutely hysterical. Him telling Ellie there no Elf, no Santa, no Tooth Fair, no Easter Bunny, and no God all in a tirade of obscenities was just so awful, but so very funny.
Ruxin: "I gotta say, it feels like I won twice."
(line of the night)
Although I did love the teacher there at the end showing Kevin and Jenny the video of Jenny trash-talking Pete.
