The Dog League: 2018 Draft(Part 3)

We've seen Ridiculous Rascals and Tug of War meet twice now in the Dog League Championship, with Tug of War coming out on top both times. Is a third meeting on the cards? Let's check out their new rosters in my final post covering the 2018 Dog League Draft. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Ridiculous Rascals

1st Round, 5th Overall- WR Antonio Brown(Grade: B+)
2nd Round, 8th Overall- RB Melvin Gordon(Grade: B)
3rd Round, 17th Overall- RB LeSean McCoy(Grade: B+)
4th Round, 20th Overall- RB Christian McCaffrey(Grade: C)
5th Round, 29th Overall- WR Tyreek Hill(Grade: C+)
6th Round, 32nd Overall- QB Aaron Rodgers(Grade: B)
7th Round, 41st Overall- TE Jimmy Graham(Grade: B-)
8th Round, 44th Overall- DEF Los Angeles Rams(Grade: B)
9th Round, 53rd Overall- K Wil Lutz(Grade: B+)
10th Round, 56th Overall- RB Joe Mixon(Grade: B-)
11th Round, 65th Overall- RB Derrick Henry(Grade: C)
12th Round, 68th Overall- WR Jarvis Landry(Grade: B)
13th Round, 77th Overall- WR Michael Crabtree(Grade: B-)
14th Round, 80th Overall- RB Marshawn Lynch(Grade: B)
15th Round, 89th Overall- TE Jack Doyle(Grade: C+)

Summary:

Whether or not this team has a true superstar is up for debate, but regardless, Ridiculous Rascals has formed a well rounded roster. The running back corps sees Melvin Gordon and Christian McCaffrey return for another year, while the consistently excellent LeSean McCoy provides great value in the third round. Tyreek Hill is another returning player, and he'll partner up with top pick Antonio Brown to form an incredibly speedy duo. Yet again, we see a team trying to make a quarterback connection work, as Aaron Rodgers will pair up with new tight end Jimmy Graham. The bench lacks a lot to be desired, as Joe Mixon and Derrick Henry are far from established, while Jarvis Landry and Michael Crabtree are on new teams. Perhaps the most intriguing player is the returning Marshawn Lynch, who has fallen a long way in one year.


Tug of War

1st Round, 6th Overall- RB Alvin Kamara(Grade: B+)
2nd Round, 7th Overall- RB Saquon Barkley(Grade: B-)
3rd Round, 18th Overall- RB Devonta Freeman(Grade: B)
4th Round, 19th Overall- WR A.J. Green(Grade: B+)
5th Round, 30th Overall- WR Doug Baldwin(Grade: B)
6th Round, 31st Overall- TE Zach Ertz(Grade: B+)
7th Round, 42nd Overall- QB Kirk Cousins(Grade: C+)
8th Round, 43rd Overall- DEF Jacksonville Jaguars(Grade: A)
9th Round, 54th Overall- K Chris Boswell(Grade: B-)
10th Round, 55th Overall- RB Jordan Howard(Grade: B-)
11th Round, 66th Overall- RB Lamar Miller(Grade: B+)
12th Round, 67th Overall- RB Jay Ajayi(Grade: B)
13th Round, 78th Overall- WR Chris Hogan(Grade: B+)
14th Round, 79th Overall- WR Brandin Cooks(Grade: C)
15th Round, 90th Overall- QB Matthew Stafford(Grade: B)

Summary:

How do they keep doing it? Somehow, someway, two time regular season and Dog League champions Tug of War have assembled the most talented roster yet again. At the top, young running backs Alvin Kamara and Saquon Barkley will look to form the next great running back duo, and they'll get help from the returning Devonta Freeman, now in his third year on the team. Tug of War went for experience in the starting wide receivers, selecting Doug Baldwin and the returning A.J. Green. The only real miss on this team is starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will have to fit in quickly in Minnesota if he wants to keep his job. The runningbacks on the bench look quality as well, as any of the trio of Jordan Howard, Lamar Miller or Jay Ajayi could fill in admirably. Overall, this is a team that looks ready to make a run for the three peat.




Will Tug of War and Ridiculous Rascals meet again in the championship game? Will either of the new expansion teams make the playoffs? Can Leaping Girl stay healthy long enough to finally get out of last place? The third season of Dog League action has officially begun.

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...
