The League reminds me of Spike TV's Factory, which briefly aired in the summer of 2008. Not well-known, but established male comedians at the forefront and then these random, lifeless women in the background. While the males tend to get the better lines in sitcoms it is extremely vital to have strong female characters as well, not just to attract viewers, but to balance the show out. Would Seinfeld have been as successful without Julia Louis Dreyfuss, or could 30 Rock work with a man instead of Tina Fey?
The League is also similar to Factory in that the quality is pretty poor. A good line here, a nice remark there, but just about every joke fell really flat. The show kept switching between being raunchy and then trying to replicate It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The show has no identity, it's the Dr. Pepper of television, except Dr. Pepper is actually good.
I also have to question whether or not a lot of people would get the football references. Does the average American know who Matt Forte is?
For The League to be successful they need to bring in a funny female to the cast, tone down on the raunchy humor and focus on football, but do it in a way where people who are not huge fans of the sport can also enjoy it (see Friday Night Lights).moreless

ADD TRIVIA-
When Ruxin asked "The Oracle" if he should draft Jay Cutler, he said that he was "a young QB in a new system" and "would throw four interceptions in Week 1". Jay Cutler made his debut with the Chicago Bears on Sunday September 13, 2009 and did in fact throw four interceptions in a loss to the Green Bay Packers.

ADD QUOTES-
Taco: (singing) It's your birthday today, what could that mean, I guess I'll try to explain, that five years ago on this day it was the first time your parents saw your beautiful face. And 9 months before that magical day, your dad prolly took your mom out on a date, and they were having a good time. Happy Birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday. And when they got home they were horny as hell and your dad threw your mom down on the bed, and he tore her panties off and his wee wee was hard as a rock. And at this point your mom wanted to give your dad head, but your dad also wanted to give your mom head, so they formed a 69 and your mom came atleast 3 times. And then your dad was so excited to get inside your mom that he forgot to put a condom on...
