About This Quiz

Do you love fantasy football and comedy? You probably loved The League! Premiering in 2009, The League was a show that followed a group of members in a fantasy football league. Starring Mark Duplass, Stephen Rannazzisi, and Nick Kroll, the series follows this group of average-day people who attempt to win the Shiva, the coveted "Super Bowl" of their fantasy football world.

In The League, everyone is formatting their teams and dying to hoist that coveted Shiva Bowl above their heads. From Rodney to Taco, which The League character are you? Are you like Pete Eckhart? If you are, you live and breathe fantasy football! Being a three-time league champion isn't enough for you! You'll stop at nothing to win the Shiva, going as far as to trick your friends! Instead of Pete, are you more like Kevin? While the award is named after your high school girlfriend, the Shiva has always been unattainable to you! You might not be good making decisions, but you're excellent when it comes to delegating!

Are you like Pete or Kevin? Maybe you're more Rodney, Taco, or Jenny? There's only one way to find out! Take this quiz and we'll tell you which The League character you'd be and if you're taking home the Shiva!
