The Dog League: Week 2 Review(2018 Season)

Week 2 saw one team struggle with wide receivers, while another pulled off a very narrow victory. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(121.2) vs Leaping Girl(102.8)


ANALYSIS

On a day where the bulk of their team struggled, Tug of War still picked up a decisive win, thanks mostly to the efforts of Kirk Cousins(33.5 points) and A.J. Green(24.9 points). With rumors of a league mandated trade involving Tug of War, we'll have to see how the team responds to losing a star player. On the other side, Deshaun Watson(22.8 points) and DeAndre Hopkins(17 points) finally came to play, but it wasn't enough for Leaping Girl. With two losses in a row to start the season, she continues to play from behind, but luckily hasn't slipped into last place yet.


Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(101.32) vs Tailwaggerz(100.3)


ANALYSIS

Melvin Gordon(24.6 points) was the hero for Ridiculous Rascals this week in an extremely close game against Tailwaggerz. Cam Newton(27.6 points) put in a great performance for Tailwaggerz, but they ended up falling just over one point short. David Johnson(5.1 points) and Jared Cook(4.9 points) both let down Tailwaggerz, as both struggled, particularly late in their games, were one big play could've won the game. Johnson's struggles only compounded the issue, as the Rams defense(13 points) proved pivotal again for the Ridiculous Rascals.


Game 3: Rare Woofs(107.54) vs Bark Force(78.06)


ANALYSIS

It was another big day for Todd Gurley(29.3 points) helping lead Rare Woofs to their first win, while Michael Thomas(18.9 points) continued his hot start to the year. Bark Force now has a glaring weakness at running back, where Adrian Peterson(5 points) and Carlos Hyde(11 points) proved that they are not elite level starters. On the bench, Stefon Diggs(26.9 points) and JuJu Smith-Schuster(18.1 points) highlighted the unbalanced roster. Clearly, a move will need to be made to make Bark Force into a more capable team. In tomorrow's post, one of their starting receivers(Odell Beckham, Julio Jones or Mike Evans) will be shipped off to Tug of War, in exchange for a running back. We'll have to see how that move effects both teams.

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 ...
