The League is back and we got to see a whole bunch of athlete
cameos (*) in the first episode of season four. I love that this show has gained so
much credibility that they can essentially get any NFL player they want and
employ in an episode. However, I think the episodes heavy on the cameos tend to
be some of the shows weaker episodes because we don’t get the weird, crude,
isolated humor from our main characters.
(*) Robert Griffin III, Felix Jones, Jason Witten, Jerry Jones (not an athlete), Desean Jackson, to name a few.
With that being said I did enjoy last night’s premiere a lot
and it was chalk full of the jokes and randomness we’ve grown to love from the
show. The League is kind of rare in that every season so far has been better
than the previous, hopefully we’ll see that trend continue here in the fourth
season, and so far so good.
Much like It’s Always Sunny, it’s difficult to do much of
review for this show because the characters, for the better, don’t change and
have no desire to change who they are. So instead of just describing all of the
scenes in the eipisode, I’ll leave you with my favorite quotes and moments from
“Training Camp,” mostly Taco related:
- “The poorly named Double EntAndres.” – Rich Eisen on Andre’s new fantasy team name.
- “I don’t like the C-word but this is collusion.” Anyone who’s played fantasy sports knows that collusion is indeed the cardinal sin of the imaginary leagues we create.
- The Taco of the League. - Taco’s business card describing his job title in their league.
- “Jerry Earl Jones.” – What Taco thought Jerry Jones’ name was because he’s the Darth Vader of football. The guys couldn’t argue.
- “Eh. I’ve been rich before.” - Taco
- “It’s America. There’s always a bar.” - Taco
Comments are certainly welcome, whether they are for
agreement, disagreement, or indifference.
