The Dog League: Week 3 Preview(2017 Season)

It's the biggest week in the Dog League so far this season, as two undefeated teams collide, with Tug of War taking on the Ridiculous Rascals. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

Coming off of a blowout loss and falling back down to last place, there were changes in store for Leaping Girl this week. In came Ty Montgomery and Jason Witten, and out went Mark Ingram and the struggling Jordan Reed. Both men went right into the starting line-up, with Montgomery replacing the banged up DeMarco Murray and Witten taking the spot of Delanie Walker, who draws a tough match-up this week against Seattle. Dez Bryant also came into the line-up for Amari Cooper, as Arizona's defense has struggled so far this season.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Ty Montgomery
WR Dez Bryant
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Jason Witten
RB Dalvin Cook
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks


Tailwaggerz

With two tight ends going down on Sunday, the position was a clear focus for Tailwaggerz heading into Week 3. They added Coby Fleener for the injured Greg Olsen, and exchanged Jimmy Graham for Zach Ertz. Ertz went immediately into the starting line-up, Kirk Cousins came in for Tom Brady thank to a good match-up against the Raiders, C.J. Anderson took the spot of Jordan Howard and Lamar Miller took over in the swing role.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Kirk Cousins
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB C.J. Anderson
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Mike Evans
TE Zach Ertz
RB Lamar Miller
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Ridiculous Rascals

With the upcoming first place battle against Tug of War in his sights, Rascal elected to bring in some receiver help. The player he chose is Michael Crabtree, who was added for Sammy Watkins. He also wanted defensive help, and brought in the Eagles in exchange for the Cardinals, as Philly has a good match-up against a struggling Giants team. Jay Ajayi, with a potential big game against the Jets on the horizon, also entered the line-up in favor of Marshawn Lynch, who's workload has left a lot to be desired.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Derek Carr
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Michael Crabtree
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Jay Ajayi
K Matt Bryant
DEF Philadelphia Eagles


Tug of War

First place offers a lot of leeway for Tug of War, and having such a dominant roster leaves little room for change. The defending league champions looked at making a few changes, but in the end did not choose to add anyone off the waiver wire. Instead, the only change was a line-up swap, as Carlos Hyde took the spot of Leonard Fournette, who has a tough match-up against the Ravens in London.

Week 3 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Matt Ryan
RB Todd Gurley
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Carlos Hyde
K Dan Bailey
DEF Kansas City Chiefs




Who will win when the top two teams collide? And who will pick up their first win as Tailwaggerz face Leaping Girl? Find out in Week 3 of the Dog League.

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

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!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
