The Dog League: Week 16 Preview(2017 Playoffs)

After 15 long weeks and almost 4 months, it all comes down to one game between the Ridiculous Rascals and Tug of War to crown the 2017 Dog League champion. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Third Place Game: (4) Tailwaggerz vs (3) Leaping Girl



Tailwaggerz

It was a narrow loss for the Tailwaggerz in the first round of the playoffs, as they came only 7 points away making the unlikely trip to the championship game. In the final game of the season, they will keep things simple, making one line-up change, bringing Alex Smith in for Tom Brady. 

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Alex Smith
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Jordan Howard
WR Mike Evans
WR Michael Thomas
TE Zach Ertz
RB Kenyan Drake
K Wil Lutz
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Leaping Girl

A rather decisive loss ended Leaping Girl's chances at a championship, as she now will look for revenge from last season, where she lost to Tailwaggerz in the third place game. Robert Woods was brought in for Doug Martin, replacing DeMarco Murray in the line-up. Two Panthers players will get the opportunity to start as well, as Cam Newton and Greg Olsen replace Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham respectively.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Cam Newton
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Alvin Kamara
WR Keenan Allen
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Greg Olsen
WR Robert Woods

Championship Game: (2) Ridiculous Rascals vs (1) Tug of War


Ridiculous Rascals

For the second year in a row, Ridiculous Rascals will play in the Dog League's championship game. They'll look to turn around their fortunes from last year, and will get running back Ezekiel Elliott back to do it, as he replaces Brandin Cooks. Rascal also switched defenses, dropping the Saints for the Vikings, and kickers, as Kai Forbath was dropped for Harrison Butker.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Matthew Stafford
RB Mark Ingram
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Adam Thielen
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Ezekiel Elliott
K Harrison Butker
DEF Minnesota Vikings


Tug of War

Will Tug of War become two time Dog League champions? During the season, perhaps no one would've foreseen that they would be back, but here they are, attempting to win their second consecutive Dog League title. They'll have to do it without Antonio Brown, as A.J Green will fill in this week for the injured star wideout.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Russell Wilson
RB Devonta Freeman
RB Todd Gurley
WR A.J. Green
WR Julio Jones
TE Travis Kelce
RB Kareem Hunt
K Chris Boswell
DEF Denver Broncos

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...
