It has happened, "The League" has ended. After seven football-filled seasons, the show that brought us so many quotes and hilarious moments is officially over. Though it may have lost a little something during the last few seasons, it will still be greatly missed. So here are a few things we will miss the most about FX’s "The League."
1. The fantasy.
This show began long before fantasy football became what it is today. But from the very beginning, the boys of "The League" took fantasy seriously. From their intense drafts, complete with the board and sticker bitches, to their collusion and trades. No one knew fantasy and cared about it more than these boys, and later Jenny.
2. The guys.
Kevin, Pete, Ruxin, Andre and Taco. From the first episode on, these boys have been through so much. From weddings, divorces, break ups, make ups, new jobs, injuries, funerals and more. They’ve seen it all! Every week the guys of "The League" came into our home and made us feel so much better about ourselves. Their stupidity and sheer ridiculousness brought us laughter and tears, mostly from laughing so hard.
3. Jenny.
Jenny was the only woman to make it through the whole show, even Sophia got cut before the end. Jenny was an inspiration to woman everywhere. She is tough, strong, hilarious and a Shiva Champion. After years of secretly running Kevin’s Team she finally got her own and did oh so well. Jenny showed the boys what she, and all woman, could do while still be a great wife and mom while being absolutely gorgeous.
4. The kids.
You’re actually wrong if you don’t love everything about Ellie, Baby Geoffrey and Chalupa Batman. These kids, though they would sometimes disappear for weeks on end, made for some hilarious moments. Whether Ellie was getting high with her classmates after Taco put weed in the spices, Baby Geoffrey taking steroids and getting pretty good at baseball or Chalupa Batman just being named Chalupa Batman. The kids made us remember that these assholes were parents.
5. Rafi (and Dirty Randy).
You can't not love these two. Though some of their side character episodes were weird, every time either of them were on screen you were going to be laughing. Pocket Dogs, GADICA, Tall Guy, Brian and they fact that Rafi was just always naked made every moment funny. And Dirty Randy was quite possibly the best porn director ever though he was once Clean Randell. These crazy idiots should not have been allowed to function in any society but they did, and did pretty well after breaking out of a mental institution.
6. EBDB.
The Eskimo Brother’s Database. From a simple My Face page, to a complete collection run out of a van to a bed and breakfast. The EBDBBnB was open to all clients looking for a little anonymous sex. Taco’s company was bigger and better than ever expected and loved by all, even Mark Cuban. Taco Corp was one of the best corporation there ever could be.
7. Pro footballer guess spots.
JJ Watt, Darren Sprouls, Marshawn Lynch, Chad OchoCinco, these are just a few of the Professional Football Players that made their guest appearances on the show. These big named millionaire players took time to come on the show and make absolute asses of themselves. Which just made us love all of them even more.
8. The catchphrases.
“Forever Unclean” “I’m inside me” “Yank Banker” “The Shiva Blast” “Fear Boners” "It is Decided" The boys of the League never gave us anything but hilarious one-liners. Every episode featured at least one line that could be quoted forever. Cause who doesn’t love a “Child Please” from Andre or finding one of Taco's "Guest Bongs"
9. "The League."
From the very beginning, you felt a part of the friend group that made up "The League." You sometimes took their fantasy advice and sometimes that they were just absolute idiots but you loved every minute. The men and woman of "The League" will be so missed but at least we have every episode on Netflix to help remind us of why we loved it in the first place.
