Rodney Ruxin is an extremely paranoid product liability attorney whose great lengths to win the League paid off at the end of Season Two. Ruxin (he hates being called "Rodney") is married (to a hottie), has a kid ("Baby Geoffrey"), a dog ("Cale") and a father ("Rupert," but, like his son, prefers "Ruxin") who looks a lot like Jeff Goldblum. Here we huddle up some of Ruxin's greatest hits from The League.

"Crackers on the table -- some chili, too!" A respectable lawyer and employer shouldn't be caught cutting loose and indulging in crackers and chocolate and whatever the hell else when there are subordinate au pairs around, so Ruxin is able to segue into "sophisticated" mode - complete with martini - when his young domestic assistant, Ashley, suddenly makes him realize that he's not home alone.

Ruxin isn't supporting Team Twila for the big marathon this year because he doesn't negotiate with "charity terrorists," which are people like his co-worker who force him to give money to things against his will. Then again, why go for clever rhetoric when you can just make the point you really want to make with a cleverly placed Hungry Hungry Hippos reference?

After a crazy visit to Sin City with the guys, Ruxin has to atone by giving his wife, Sofia, a "Terrific Lady Day." He surprises her by getting a little more kinky and creative in the bedroom -- and, unbeknownst to her, explores radical new methods of multitasking. We think this scenario probably happens more often than most women realize.
(Episode 2.2, "Bro-Lo El Cunado")

Now here's a guy who knows how to flaunt his sweet victory and shove it in the faces of his fellow Leaguers. Shudder and tremble at the Terrible Reign of Ruxin, League Champion (with the George Clooney stubble) -- and sing along, too, if you know the words.

Ruxin realizes that the days of telling your friends about what your sex partner is like in bed are over once that sex partner becomes your wife. It's really sometimes a shame how these guys can't talk about anything for even ten seconds before one of them is corrected, contradicted and/or humiliated. Oh, and kudos to Andre for the actually somewhat witty metaphor.
(Episode 2.2, "Bro-Lo El Cunado")
