The Dog League: 2021 Preseason Update (Part 2)

 More action has taken place in the lead-up to the beginning of the 2021 season, and another couple injuries for key players, plus some overall tinkering, has led to 4 more waiver moves being made in the Dog League. Let's break 'em down. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)




Canine Comets

The Comets made their second move of the year shortly after the last update was written, bringing in Jerry Jeudy as a backup receiver in place of Darnell Mooney. Jeudy flashed potential last year, and with the reliable Teddy Bridgewater now throwing to him, the Comets hope the young receiver will take a step forward in his second season. 


Growlers

The league's other expansion team has stayed active on the waiver wire, making a move this morning to acquire Tyler Higbee, who will be penciled in to start at tight end with Irv Smith set to miss time with a knee injury. Higbee was added in place of Matt Ryan, as the Growlers will gamble on Josh Allen to stay healthy as the sole quarterback on their roster. 


Leaping Girl

Emma made her first waiver move of the year last Thursday, dropping A.J. Dillon to bring in Trey Sermon, as she hopes that between Sermon and Raheem Mostert, one of the two electrifying 49ers backs will prove to be a long-term weapon. 


Bark Force

It's been a rough past few months for Bark Force, as following the loss of Cam Akers, the team has now lost J.K. Dobbins for the year after a devastating ACL tear. You never want to see two of your top draft picks go down this early, but Bark Force will just have to pick themselves up and keep pushing forward. Yet again, they have activated "Option C", which allows them to bring in the immediate backup for an injured player, without anyone else in the league allowed to claim that backup. In this case, that means acquiring Gus Edwards, who is not quite as dynamic a player as Dobbins, but should still provide reliable play as the head of the run-heavy Ravens backfield. 



Hopefully, the next time you hear about the Dog League, it'll be for the Week 1 Preview, without significantly more moves needing to be made between now and then, but it's been a crazy preseason thus far, so no promises can be made.

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...
