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.

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

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
