Season 6 of the league premieres tonight and from what we can tell so far this season is gonna be big and from what we can tell from the first episode you’re not gonna wanna miss any of it!
The show opens on a scene from “The Combine” and shows Kevin dressed in a skin-tight outfit interacting with numerous NFL players. You can immediately tell that this is a dream as done in previous seasons. Kevin awakes and is immediately being tormented by Jenny aka the League champion. You can see that this will be a theme throughout the whole episode.

A league meeting is soon called and we find out about Tacos new hobby. We than see something that we have never seen this, before in this series. We find out that someone in the league has died. (Hence the name of the episode). The mood soon turns and we find the crew in a funeral home where they find a new place to hold the draft and also an opportunity to give the deceased member one last chance to draft. As to be expected they run into a few road bumps but inevitably the draft completes and we are ready for the start of the season!
