The Dog League: Week 5 Preview(2017 Season)

Week 5 of the Dog League is about to get underway, and with plenty of injuries and bye weeks to go around, it could be a very interesting week. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

To start off, Emma had a big decision to make, with running back Dalvin Cook out for the season. She activated Option C, bringing in Latavius Murray as his replacement. With Drew Brees out on bye this week, she also brought in rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson, who will make his first Dog League appearance on Sunday Night. DeMarco Murray also moves up in the world, as he returns to the starting line-up in place of the banged up Ty Montgomery. T.Y. Hilton will also start this week, as he has a favorable match-up against the 49ers. 

Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Deshaun Watson
RB LeSean McCoy
RB DeMarco Murray
WR Dez Bryant
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Delanie Walker
WR T.Y. Hilton
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks


Tailwaggerz

With Michael Thomas and C.J. Anderson on bye this week, moves were in store for Tailwaggerz. Mike Evans and Lamar Miller both re-joined the starting line-up, as Jordan Howard is once more left on the bench. The Jaguars defense, with a rough week in store against the Steelers, were outed in favor of the Ravens defense, who go up against a Raiders team missing Derek Carr. In a minor move, struggling tight end Coby Fleener was dropped in favor of Frank Gore.

Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Tom Brady
RB Lamar Miller
RB Le'Veon Bell
WR Jordy Nelson
WR Mike Evans
TE Zach Ertz
WR Stefon Diggs
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Ridiculous Rascals

The talent level is most certainly there for the Ridiculous Rascals, it's just a matter of getting the players to perform at their best. With that in mind, there were no line-up changes this week, although there were two waiver moves made. Injured quarterback Derek Carr makes his leave, with Rascal getting a hell of a talent back in the form of Russell Wilson. With concerns circulating about the health of Rob Gronkowski, another Raiders player was dropped, this time Michael Crabtree, in exchange for Charles Clay. Finally, with Matt Bryant out on bye, Kai Forbath was brought in to fill the kicker spot on Monday Night.

EDIT: with the news that Rob Gronkowski is likely out tonight against the Buccaneers, Clay will take his spot in the line-up.

 Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Dak Prescott
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Odell Beckham
WR Brandin Cooks
TE Charles Clay
RB Jay Ajayi
K Kai Forbath
DEF Philadelphia Eagles


Tug of War

There have to be some concerns in the Tug of War camp this week, coming off of their first loss against the Tailwaggerz. While we will have to wait for the weekend to see how it all turns out, if Tug of War is to rebound, they will be forced to do it without wide receiver Julio Jones. In his place comes A.J. Green, who may have a poor match-up against the Bills, but has played well this year. The Chiefs defense, beyond the occasional wild late game touchdown, are not really putting up great numbers, and were dropped for the Vikings defense, who will look to beat up rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears on Monday Night.

Week 5 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Todd Gurley
RB Kareem Hunt
WR A.J. Green
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
RB Leonard Fournette
K Dan Bailey
DEF Minnesota Vikings

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...
