The Dog League: Week 3 Preview(2017 Season)

It's the biggest week in the Dog League so far this season, as two undefeated teams collide, with Tug of War taking on the Ridiculous Rascals. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

Coming off of a blowout loss and falling back down to last place, there were changes in store for Leaping Girl this week. In came Ty Montgomery and Jason Witten, and out went Mark Ingram and the struggling Jordan Reed. Both men went right into the starting line-up, with Montgomery replacing the banged up DeMarco Murray and Witten taking the spot of Delanie Walker, who draws a tough match-up this week against Seattle. Dez Bryant also came into the line-up for Amari Cooper, as Arizona's defense has struggled so far this season.

 Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Ty Montgomery
WR Dez Bryant
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Jason Witten
RB Dalvin Cook
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks


Tailwaggerz

With two tight ends going down on Sunday, the position was a clear focus for Tailwaggerz heading into Week 3. They added Coby Fleener for the injured Greg Olsen, and exchanged Jimmy Graham for Zach Ertz. Ertz went immediately into the starting line-up, Kirk Cousins came in for Tom Brady thank to a good match-up against the Raiders, C.J. Anderson took the spot of Jordan Howard and Lamar Miller took over in the swing role.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Kirk Cousins
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB C.J. Anderson
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Mike Evans
TE Zach Ertz
RB Lamar Miller
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Ridiculous Rascals

With the upcoming first place battle against Tug of War in his sights, Rascal elected to bring in some receiver help. The player he chose is Michael Crabtree, who was added for Sammy Watkins. He also wanted defensive help, and brought in the Eagles in exchange for the Cardinals, as Philly has a good match-up against a struggling Giants team. Jay Ajayi, with a potential big game against the Jets on the horizon, also entered the line-up in favor of Marshawn Lynch, who's workload has left a lot to be desired.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Derek Carr
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Michael Crabtree
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Jay Ajayi
K Matt Bryant
DEF Philadelphia Eagles


Tug of War

First place offers a lot of leeway for Tug of War, and having such a dominant roster leaves little room for change. The defending league champions looked at making a few changes, but in the end did not choose to add anyone off the waiver wire. Instead, the only change was a line-up swap, as Carlos Hyde took the spot of Leonard Fournette, who has a tough match-up against the Ravens in London.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Matt Ryan
RB Todd Gurley
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Carlos Hyde
K Dan Bailey
DEF Kansas City Chiefs

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
