Leaping Girl faces Ridiculous Rascals in the Dog League's most tenured rivalry. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Rare Woofs

Current Record: (1-3, 6th place)

Now in last, Rare Woofs have made a change at quarterback, benching Russell Wilson in favor of Andrew Luck. With Leonard Fournette still struggling with injuries, they got T.J. Yeldon for Chris Thompson, starting him over Kenyan Drake, while in the flex spot, Calvin Ridley gets his first start. Finally, they will stream in the Titans defense this week, dropping the Packers.

Bark Force

Current Record: (1-3, 5th place)

Bark Force has left more points on the bench than any other team in the league, and will look to rectify that this week. When in doubt, turn to the Patriots. Tom Brady subs in for Patrick Mahomes, and Sony Michel starts over Carlos Hyde. Mike Evans is on bye, so both Stefon Diggs and JuJu Smith-Schuster will start. They will make another change at defense, as the Chargers are gone in favor of the Ravens.

Leaping Girl

Current Record: (1-3, 4th place)

With a big game coming up against Rascal, Leaping Girl made several changes. Alex Collins was benched for Matt Breida, and Adam Thielen came back in for Emmanuel Sanders. She also dropped Mike Williams, who was just acquired last week, for John Brown, and got a new defense, adding the Broncos for the Seahawks.

Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (2-2, 3rd place)

With T.Y Hilton dealing with an injury, Cooper Kupp will start after his break-out game against the Vikings. On the bench, Tailwaggerz dropped Demaryius Thomas for DeSean Jackson, and with the Bears defense on bye, they were dropped for the Texans.

UPDATE: With Davante Adams trending toward a game-time decision, Tailwaggerz has dropped Amari Cooper to add Tyler Boyd. Although Adams has been cleared this week, they have decided to go with Boyd as the starter.

Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Rare Woofs)

QB Jared Goff
RB David Johnson
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Tyler Boyd
WR Cooper Kupp
TE Jared Cook
RB James Conner
K Matt Bryant

Ridiculous Rascals

Current Record: (3-1, 2nd place)

Christian McCaffrey returns from bye and regains his starting spot for Rascal, as Marshawn Lynch heads back to the bench. With O.J. Howard out injured, Eric Ebron is added and will get the start this week, while Michael Crabtree was dropped for Robert Woods. Something to keep an eye on for Rascal is the flex spot. For right now, Giovani Bernard keeps his spot, but he's currently banged up. Joe Mixon could be returning this week, and Rascal also has Jarvis Landry, Woods and Lynch who could takes the spot. It could come down to the wire for who gets that final spot this week.

UPDATE: With Giovani Bernard out, Mixon gets the flex spot and Bernard has been dropped for Aaron Jones.

Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Drew Brees
RB Melvin Gordon

Nothing big for Tug of War this week, as they reverse their move from Week 4, dropping Tevin Coleman for Devonta Freeman. With Jordan Howard on bye, Freeman will start on his return this week.

QB Matt Ryan
RB Devonta Freeman

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 ...
