I'm gonna have to give this a look. I never really got into any of their other show...but the description of the show may be enough for me.

I finally watched the first episode the other day on Hulu. It wasn't too bad. I found that I laughed more often than not. I'm not dying to keep watching it though...maybe I'll catch up over the holiday weekend.

I think any fan of fantasy football would appreciate this show, not to mention it's funny as hell. Probably need to be a grown man to fully understand it and enjoy it though, as there's a lot of jokes that only a married man would get. I also really like that they make jokes in reference to things that actually happend during the football season this year.

The trade rape for Plaxico Burress... lmao

And everyone who even kind of likes it should watch it through last week's episode - soo funny.

I've been watching it online also. I really like this show. I think Gris is right, not for the little kids around here.

not really. I think this show is tailored the non/casual FF fan. They are under utilizing the FF aspect and make it more of a gimmick which kinda sucks and makes it kinda annoying. It reminds me of when I hear people talk FF when they have no idea what they're talking about. An example would be when the NFL pregame shows have a fantasy football segment just to appease viewers and give retarded/obvious advice. Start Adrian Peterson and bench Jamal Lewis!!!

I think the show would do better if they really made it about FF and not just obligatory comments about it. The pilot did a good job but ever since then all the FF commentary seems too obligatory. One running joke that does work is Taco's success when he doesn't even take care of his team, something that happens in a lot o FF leagues. They need more jokes like that.

The humor so far has been pretty hit or miss but it does have potential and the show seems to have a bit of the DRAMA effect with a poor episode being saved by a character a la Drama in entourage. Which in this case is Jon Lajoie who has been awesome thus far.

the show isn't about fantasy football, it's about a group of friends in their 30s who happen to be football fans and are in a league together


When I saw the first episode I saw Jon Lajoie and thought this guy looks familiar, and then I started cracking up...I know this guy, he's awesome!

Eh, whatver. I like how they center around a FF league, I think they do a good job of catering to very specifc group of viewers - that's just my opinion.
