The Dog League: 2021 End of Year Update + 2022 Plans

Nearly 5 months of competition ran down to one final week, where Rascal hunted down his first Dog League Championship, going against a formidable Rare Woofs behemoth. In this post, I'll take a look at how each team finished, and reveal a few planned alterations for The Dog League moving forward. 




Final Standings

1. Ridiculous Rascals

2. Rare Woofs

3. Canine Comets

4. Tailwaggerz

5. Growlers

6. Tug of War

7. Leaping Girl

8. Bark Force


Congratulations to Rascal for finally putting it all together and capturing his first Dog League title, crushing Rare Woofs' hope for a three-peat behind a 50 burger from Ja'Marr Chase. The Comets and Leaping Girl both survived late flurries to win their respective games, as Najee Harris (Tailwaggerz) and the duo of Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams (Bark Force) each came with an eyelash of pulling off historic comeback wins. Growlers, meanwhile, dominated on the strength of big games from Rashaad Penny and the Saints defense. These standings will determine next year's draft order, so keep them in mind when June rolls around. 



What's Next?

The Dog League now goes on hiatus, but I remain busy tinkering with the league's rules and scoring systems, in order to freshen up the experience for next season. My initial thoughts for next year surround moving to Half-PPR scoring, which will increase the importance of running backs, and balance out the divide between skill players. Should that switch occur, I would add a 3rd starting running back to the lineups, which will allow overall team scoring to remain high. We'll see if that change is implemented, but I can guarantee that the league will have at least one fresh idea at beginning of next year.

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 ...

The talented Rich Swann faces the vicious Drew Gulak, and in the main event the Technical Wizard Zack Sabre Jr takes on Cedric Alexander. Also, it's the debut of one of SmackDown's newest tag teams, The Revival, as they face Raw's Golden Truth. Universe Mode Main Event December 14th, 2016 Location: Greensboro, NC The Revival vs Golden Truth Goldust and R-Truth are talented veterans, but it was Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson that controlled this match. They looked very impressive in their debut, using a slow pace to pick apart the Bizzare One, before finishing him off with a Shatter Machine to pick up a big debut win. Winners: The Revival Rich Swann vs Drew Gulak- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match This was the classic match up between high flying and technical brilliance, and it was Gulak's slower style that controlled this match.
