Really miss that show. You didnt even have to be a fantasy football person to appreciate it. Wish they would do a reboot.

Because it started to suck and the ratings took a dive around season 5.

First 2 seasons were hilarious. This show could not be made today.
Not PC, crude & chauvinist jokes, all white cast except for Rafi. This can’t be done today. True comedy is dead thank to PC culture. Downvote away. I don’t care.

I loved S1. Absolutely loved it.

It went downhill pretty quick.

Ehh, it got moved to FXX in season 5. Every single show that went to that network saw a decent sized decrease in ratings. It's drop was no worse than what happened to Always Sunny when it moved. Even w/the drop they still had 3 seasons on FXX.

It ended more b/c Mark Duplass became big enough the show could no longer to afford to keep him.

Ruxin one of the most underrated characters of all time

The guys started getting better paying gigs. I forget which season it was, but Nick Kroll basically wasn’t there the entire time because of other projects he was working on. I’m with you though. I want more of it.

They ran out of ideas after like season 2-3 and eventually the show barely even mentioned fantasy football and pivoted to the least funny characters on the show (atleast at that volume of screen time)

I think the dirty Randy/rafi solo episode was the breaking point for me where I stopped watching

100000%

But watching Kevin and Ruxon make a trade for Adrian Peterson based on a plea agreement for a client was top notch shite.

It was played out. The scenarios got too stupid and far fetched. Luckily for FX they decided to end it right before Rannazzisi's fake 9/11 story was outed and killed his career.

I think it kind of ran it's course. I had gotten used to it coming on every year with football season. Was bummed to see it end.

Side note i thought Kim with brown hair in Monday's BCS looked like the wife Jenny in this show.

You realize Always Sunny still exists right?

As long as a show is funny, it'll find a way to make it on the air.
