The Dog League: 2019 Preseason Update

I don't normally do update posts in the Preseason, but there's been enough happening in the Dog League to necessitate this post, especially yesterday. Let's begin. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Rule Changes

First off, I've removed the rule that any fumble forced would be a +1 to the DEF and a -1 to the offensive player. I think it was a good idea in theory, but having watched a lot of game highlights lately, there are so many fumbles in each game that it would be too overpowered.

Tug of War

First for roster changes is Tug of War, who unexpectedly lost starting QB Andrew Luck to an early retirement. They'll activate Option C to bring in Jacoby Brissett, who will back-up new starting QB Philip Rivers.




Bark Force

Not as big of news but still noteworthy as Bark Force lost bench RB Lamar Miller to what will likely be a season ending injury. They also activate Option C, acquiring Duke Johnson to sit on the bench.




Leaping Girl

Finally we have Leaping Girl, who deals with the most catastrophic situation in the holdout of star RB Melvin Gordon. He may still return, but she prepares for the possibility that he will not, dropping Miles Sanders to add Justin Jackson. Though Austin Ekeler will likely be the better performer to start the year, she's gambling the Jackson is the better option long term. If Gordon does miss Week 1, Leaping Girl will start Phillip Lindsay in his stead.

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...
