thursday night comedies, aside from parks and rec, have been very disappointing so far this year.

all the football on makes it tougher to pay as much attention though

eta: sunny has been better than the league this year

TNF has been bad football as well, unless of course one had some money on the games.

I thought this show was brand new to television this season. They're already in the 4th season? Lol

Meh, not a good episode... Them pushing the douchebags from HS angle got old extremely fast.


Season 3+4 have definitely been worse than 1+2.

I didn't think it was that funny. Those douches from the other tailgate were really annoying me.

I actually liked the episode, although it was the same jokes rehashed over and over for 30 minutes.

The fat friend (Tug?) was the best part for me.

Loved the shite talking back and forth between the groups.

The McArthur/ape thing was funny the first time, and then fairly stupid the other three times.

The "Jenny clotheslining the giant dude" thing was borderline insulting.

Not enough ragging on Andre. And episodes like this make me glad I live, and like football, in the south.

Aside from the naming rights for Kevin and Jennys kid, I dont think they have mentioned one crazy/funny bet about a trade or lineup issue. And I'm downright pissed that they didnt take advantage of the replacement refs controversy. If you knew nothing about the show, from this season you wouldn't even know it centers around the Fantasy Football League.

This. Such great material for the early part of the season and they don't even mention it.

They may use it later in the season. Remember a lot of these episodes were probably written and filmed months ago before the NFL season even began.

When I read the episode description earlier in the week, I was anticipating a great "busting Andre's balls" episode.

I didn't get that

there hasn't been enough andre in general, I did like this almond butter nachos though

and why do people keep saying "OMG they haven't mentioned the replacement refs!!" Who cares? What is this great comedic potential you people see there?

I didn't hate him, I just thought they ran the joke into the ground.

Taco starts Golden Tate while Ruxin has the Green Bay defense. Due to the call, Ruxin loses to Taco. I mean who the hell starts Golden Tate in an 8 team league. Then because of a blown call, he actually wins. Ruxin could work that for weeks...could be the reason he doesn't make the playoffs.

More than for comedy, I think we would like to see it mentioned since the show is based on a fantasy football league. No way a group of friends watch as much football as these guys and replacement refs haven't been mentioned.

I wish Pete would get back with his ex-wife. Their relationship was hilarious early on, particularly their sex life.
