The Dog League: Week 3 Review(2017 Season)

Welcome back to the Dog League. Week 3 saw Tug of War assert their dominance, and Leaping Girl and Tailwaggerz battle it out for their first win. Let's get to it.






Leaping Girl

It's all gone wrong for Leaping Girl. Although the final score was a bit closer this week, the end result was still the same, with their third consecutive loss. The team is going in the wrong direction, with this week featuring their lowest score of the year. Only two players even made it into double digits(Drew Brees and Dalvin Cook), with the rest of the team in the decent but not outstanding category. What it will take to fix this roster is beyond me, and with David Johnson out long term, this season may well be a lost cause.

Week 3 Scoring(lost to Tailwaggerz 70.7-86.6)

QB Drew Brees(20.8 points)
RB LeSean McCoy(6.9 points)
RB Ty Montgomery(5 points)
WR Dez Bryant(7.2 points)
WR DeAndre Hopkins(7.6 points)
TE Jason Witten(0.3 points)
RB Dalvin Cook(22.9 points)
K Justin Tucker(1 point)
DEF Seattle Seahawks(-1 point)


Tailwaggerz

It was a massive sigh of relief this week for Tailwaggerz, who not only got their first win, but were saved from several near fatal errors. They managed to leave 124 points on their bench( Tom Brady, Doug Baldwin, Stefon Diggs, Jordan Howard, Michael Thomas) and still managed to get the win. Most of the credit goes to Kirk Cousins, who came into the starting line-up to help carry the team to a win. The contributions of Jordy Nelson can't be understated, as his two touchdowns turned the tide on Sunday.

Week 3 Scoring(won against Leaping Girl 86.6-70.7)

QB Kirk Cousins(26.8 points)
RB Le'Veon Bell(15.8 points)
RB C.J. Anderson(4.3 points)
WR Jordy Nelson(17.2 points)
WR Mike Evans(6.7 points)
TE Zach Ertz(9.5 points)
RB Lamar Miller(6.3 points)
K Stephen Gostkowski(4 points)
DEF Baltimore Ravens(-4 points)


Ridiculous Rascals

It was a tough week for the Ridiculous Rascals, who fell behind by over 50 points on Thursday and never recovered. They didn't exactly play poorly either, with five players in double digits. They were hurt in a big way by leaving 94 points on their bench(mostly due to the contributions of Odell Beckham, Brandin Cooks and Dak Prescott). Even if they had made more of the correct decisions on who to play, I still think they lose this game. They just never stood a chance against Tug of War.

Week 3 Scoring(lost to Tug of War 83.62-134.46)

QB Derek Carr(5.22 points)
RB Melvin Gordon(13.9 points)
RB Ezekiel Elliott(15.4 points)
WR Michael Crabtree(0.7 points)
WR Tyreek Hill(15 points)
TE Rob Gronkowski(14.9 points)
RB Jay Ajayi(2.5 points)
K Matt Bryant(12 points)
DEF Philadelphia Eagles(4 points)


Tug of War

What more is left to say about the kings of the Dog League. Another dominant win for Tug of War this week, who made it look easy against the Ridiculous Rascals. They even left a total of 82 points on their bench, and there was still no doubt as to the result of the game. Almost everyone contributed something, with Travis Kelce as the only notable disappointment. It's onwards and upwards for the defending champs.

Week 3 Scoring(won against Ridiculous Rascals 134.46-83.62)

QB Matt Ryan(13.66 points)
RB Todd Gurley(32.9 points)
RB Kareem Hunt(24.3 points)
WR Julio Jones(9.1 points)
WR Antonio Brown(17 points)
TE Travis Kelce(0.1 points)
RB Carlos Hyde(21.4 points)
K Dan Bailey(4 points)
DEF Kansas City Chiefs(12 points)




3 games down, 11 more to go. Join me tomorrow as I preview Week 4 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...
