The Dog League: Week 8 Review(2018 Season)

Tailwaggerz nabs first and Tug of War can't catch a break in Week 8 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(118.08) vs Rare Woofs(125.56)


ANALYSIS

Only two players bothered to show up on Sunday for Rare Woofs, as Andrew Luck(23.36 points) and Todd Gurley(27.5 points) kept the team in the game. On Monday night, the Patriots defense(20 points) delivered, bringing home the second win in a row for Rare Woofs. On the Tug of War side, only Dan Bailey(2 points) noticeably struggled, while Marlon Mack(26.9 points) led the way. Just a tough loss to take for Tug of War, who now drop into fourth place on a four game losing streak.


Game 2: Leaping Girl(95.96) vs Tailwaggerz(128.2)


ANALYSIS

You can't understate the importance of James Conner(33.2 points) to this Tailwaggerz team. If/when Le'Veon Bell returns, they could be hard pressed to replace his production. DeAndre Hopkins(20.2 points) provided most of the firepower for Leaping Girl, who fell meekly into last place, while Tailwaggerz are into first place for the first time in their history.


Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(115.44) vs Bark Force(121.32)


ANALYSIS

It was a duel in Cincinnati as Joe Mixon(25.8 points) for Rascal and Mike Evans(23.9 points) for Bark Force battled it out. Evans may have lost the battle, but he did win the war, as Bark Force narrowly scrapped through for the win. Patrick Mahomes(26.02 points) did win his matchup, defeating Aaron Rodgers(15.94 points), though he did have a little help. Ty Montgomery's fumble late in the Rams-Packers game cost Rodgers any chance to retake the field, ending his day prematurely. Ultimately, there's no way of knowing if Rodgers had been able to put up the points necessary to win Rascal the game, but it's excruciating knowing there was a chance for a win that wasn't taken. It goes without saying that Rascal is distraught over this loss, but now in second place, he'll just have to pick his head up and get back to work next 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...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!
