Is on fire? Maybe I was having a Little Caesar’s moment? As we reported earlier, The League is a new fantasy football sitcom that is aired and produced FX. More importantly, The League arrives on your television tomorrow night.
Fantasy football is the medium that The League uses to explore everyday things like friendship, marriage, parenting, and pretty much just life in general. Of course, there will be regular story lines revolving around the fantasy league within the show, which is an endless source of hijinx.
Having an original sitcom centered around fantasy football is definitely a major plus for the fantasy football industry. Aside from this being yet another major indication that fantasy sports has gone mainstream, The League has the potential to lure in additional fantasy players once they see how much fun the characters are having (or not having, as the case may be).
My DVR is set to record, and let’s see what happens. Lets just hope it’s as solid as a sleeper pick, and not a first round bust.
