The Dog League: Week 9 Preview(2017 Season)

You can find the Week 8 Review here. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

Current Record: (2-6, 4th place)

Leaping Girl had a great chance to steal a win this past week, carrying an above 40 point lead into Monday night. Ultimately, she gave it up, but it was promising signs from a team that could desperately use them. This week, Emma will make no waiver moves, but she did make some line-up changes. Deshaun Watson and teammate DeAndre Hopkins, along with DeMarco Murray all return, in exchange for Drew Brees, Chris Hogan and Doug Martin, respectively. She will also play her Jaguars defense this week.

UPDATE: With the news that Deshaun Watson is out for the season with a torn ACL, Emma has been given the chance to activate Option C. However, she has passed, and will bring in Carson Wentz to be the backup QB, while Drew Brees takes the starting spot.

Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB DeMarco Murray
WR Dez Bryant
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Jimmy Graham

Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (3-5, 3rd place)

With three players on bye this week(Tom Brady, Le'Veon Bell and Jordan Howard), there were moves to be made for the Tailwaggerz. They brought in Alex Smith for Kirk Cousins, Adrian Peterson for Frank Gore and exchanged on-bye Stephen Gostkowski for Saints kicker Wil Lutz. They also decided that Lamar Miller would be a starter this week, choosing him over C.J. Anderson, who will play their own defense.

UPDATE: With Zach Ertz now inactive(what a week, man), Tailwaggerz has dropped Jordy Nelson and added Evan Engram.

Tug of War

Current Record: (5-3, 2nd place)

Reinforcements come in for Tug of War in their big clash against first-place Ridiculous Rascals, as Todd Gurley and Leonard Fournette both return from their bye weeks. Gurley subs in for Devonta Freeman, while Fournette takes the spot of A.J. Green. The team also made two waiver moves, as the Vikings defense left for the Cardinals unit, while the injured Jordan Reed was dropped for Will Fuller, who starts in the place of Antonio Brown, who is on bye. In addition, Russell Wilson will start this week over Matt Ryan.

UPDATE: With Deshaun Watson's injury, Will Fuller has been benched for A.J. Green. Also, with Leonard Fournette surprisingly missing out on the game, Devonta Freeman will start this week.

Ridiculous Rascals

Current Record: (6-2, 1st place)

They may be on a four game winning streak and sitting atop the league, but there is trouble in paradise for the Ridiculous Rascals. To start off with, they brought in Aaron Jones, Golden Tate and Amari Cooper to fill starting roles, letting go of Christian McCaffery, Pierre Garcon and Demaryius Thomas. They then brought Cameron Brate into the starting line-up for the unavailable Rob Gronkowski. It wasn't over there, as with Kai Forbath on bye, Jay Ajayi was dropped for Bucs kicker Patrick Murray, while the Saints defense were let go in favor of the Texans unit. A busy, busy week for the Ridiculous Rascals.

UPDATE: With Ezekiel Elliott granted a stay from his suspension, Golden Tate has been benched this week.

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...
