The fantasy football fanatics are back!
The League made its return for a seventh and final season, debuting with a Marshawn Lynch cameo, mocking the Super Bowl blunder of the Seattle Seahawks.
Meanwhile, the show begins with the group presenting Andre with a new trophy since the Shiva was lost in the burning beach house last season while also coming up with Sacko punishments for Taco, who ends up enjoying his punishments much to the group’s dismay.
Each of the group members present Andre with their own custom made trophy that he has to choose from, such as the “She Dre Met the He Dre”, which is a trophy that has a picture of a womanly Andre kissing a manly Andre.
Another interestingly comedic storyline is Andre dating Pete’s ex-wife Meegan. Everyone, excluding Pete, knows about Andre’s relationship with Meegan. Unfortunately, Pete finds out about Andre’s relationship when preparing to take a photo of the group along with football stars Calais Campbell and Tyrann Mathieu.
Humiliated and furious, Pete chases Andre around during the NFL draft in Chicago where Jenny was invited as a VIP to announce the Chicago Bears’ third-round pick. Pete and Andre cause minor havoc, which leads to Kevin having to answer a draft call from the Seahawks’ general manager.
Jenny, on the other hand, does not end up announcing the pick due to Taco dressing up in a McGibblet suit and interfering, ultimately knocking her off the stage.
Taco’s interference was plotted by Pete who wanted to get revenge on Jenny for not gifting Kevin the opportunity to announce the pick for his birthday.
All in all, it was a rather strong start to the new season. However, we will have to wait and see when the group will hold their actual fantasy football draft, and if our memory serves correct, their draft typically includes a little bit of a unique theme, such as drafting at a funeral service.
