The League: A Quick Review

As I left college and my fraternity house, I joked around with my Brothers about us all living in the same area once we got older and got jobs, wives, and children. We would be the ones organizing block parties, terrorizing our kids with our antics, trying to escape our wives, and of course playing fantasy football.

After finally seeing the first episode the other day and now being a few episodes in, The League is a slightly dramatized version of what I envisioned. The storyline centers around a group of friends: Pete, Kevin, Rodney, Andre, and Taco. Each represents a different mold of a stereotypical guy friend in a group. Taco is the relaxed friend who smokes pot, is absent minded, and gets with the ladies. Andre is the friend that tries too hard to be cool and everyone shits on him. Rodney is hyper competitive friend and is whipped by his wife.
