Join The MTV The Challenge: Total Madness Fantasy League

Finally, we have some sort of competition show that we can get behind.  As of Friday March 27th-- we are on our 14th day of no sports from the BIG 4: Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and the National Football League.

We need something to get us by.

Welcome to America's 5th Major Sport: MTV's "The Challenge".

Remember when you questioned Jay's sanity when he described The Challenge in those terms? Well guess what-- ESPN's old Grantland called it the 5th in 2014.  So did Complex in 2015.  Even those idiots at Barstool are on board.

The next season of The Challenge, titled "Total Madness" airs on April 1st at 7:00 PM CST and we want you to join our fantasy league started by the team at "Don't Hassle Us We're Local".

Think about it. You get to watch a competition show that involves plotting and alliances while a trainwreck of booze, sex, and ego await to derail the whole thing.

You need this in your life.
