There's a whole TV show centered around fantay football. Yes I know this sounds like the stupidest thing ever, but after watching all six episodes in marathon form over the weekend, I can heartily recommend
The League to any fan of fantasy sports. While the humor isn't exactly my cup of tea, even I have to admit that the fast paced jokes about balls, penises, and pubes are kind of hilarious. Also, The League makes quite the statement about the modern emasculated man. Created by the team behind Curb Your Enthusiasm, the show is semi-scripted and heavily improv-ed. You should probably at least watch the pilot from
Season 1 on Hulu before moving onto Season 2, which premieres this week on FX.
"The show centers around a group of buddies, all in their 30’s, best friends from high school, some of them now married, some with kids, others still single. The laughs come from the interactions between this tight group of guys, and the token cool chick who is actually the wife of one of the guys. The topics of discussion are pretty male-centered; toilet humor, references to sex, football trades, and one-upmanship. It’s far smarter than other shows and movies that have tried this formula."
