The Dog League: Week 5 Review(2017 Season)

A historic Week 5 in the Dog League sees perhaps one of the greatest games is league history. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

The game itself may be up for debate as the greatest game in Dog League history, but there's no doubt that Emma's nail-biting win over Tug of War is her biggest win in team history. Most of the credit for this incredible upset has to go to her duo of Houston Texans, Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. The quarterback-receiver combo totaled over 58 combined points late on Sunday night, propelling Leaping Girl to their second consecutive win.

Week 5 Scoring(won against Tug of War 131.94-130.44)

QB Deshaun Watson(35.54 points)
RB LeSean McCoy(8.9 points)
RB DeMarco Murray(4.9 points)
WR Dez Bryant(11.2 points)
WR DeAndre Hopkins(23.2 points)
TE Delanie Walker(2.5 points)
WR T.Y. Hilton(17.7 points)
K Justin Tucker(12 points)
DEF Seattle Seahawks(16 points)


Tailwaggerz

Coming off of a major upset of Tug of War last week, this game had to be considered a major flop. Tailwaggerz just failed to get going, with no one on the team eclipsing 13 points. There's more than enough talent on this team to ensure that this week was just a poor showing, but it's not going to make the loss taste any better.

Week 5 Scoring(lost to Ridiculous Rascals 81.62-121.24)

QB Tom Brady(12.62 points)
RB Lamar Miller(8.9 points)
RB Le'Veon Bell(9.3 points)
WR Jordy Nelson(8.4 points)
WR Mike Evans(4.9 points)
TE Zach Ertz(12.1 points)
WR Stefon Diggs(0.4 points)
K Stephen Gostkowski(13 points)
DEF Baltimore Ravens(12 points)


Ridiculous Rascals

This was a tale of two stars, as Dak Prescott and Melvin Gordon led the way for another Ridiculous Rascals win this week. The Dallas quarterback and Chargers running back combined for just over 58 points, falling just narrowly to Emma's combo for the best duo of the week. The rest of the team didn't make a huge impact, but did well enough to carry the load. The win was not without its drawbacks for Rascal, as he did lose top receiver Odell Beckham for the rest of the season.

 Week 5 Scoring(won against Tailwaggerz 121.24-81.62)

QB Dak Prescott(29.74 points)
RB Melvin Gordon(28.3 points)
RB Ezekiel Elliott(13.2 points)
WR Odell Beckham(16.5 points)
WR Brandin Cooks(8.5 points)
TE Charles Clay(3.1 points)
RB Jay Ajayi(5.9 points)
K Kai Forbath(8 points)
DEF Philadelphia Eagles(8 points)


Tug of War

Tug of War remains in first place exiting Week 5, despite being mired in a two game losing streak. They haven't looked bad these past two weeks, though, and it's far from time for this team to start giving up. Rookie Leonard Fournette led the way, with Aaron Rodgers and A.J. Green also putting in good shifts, but ultimately, it wasn't enough, as the Vikings defense came up just short on Monday night. It is worth pointing out that Tug of War had a very poor record in games decided by 10 points or less last year, and it seems that trend has continued on to this campaign.

Week 5 Scoring(lost to Leaping Girl 130.44-131.94)

QB Aaron Rodgers(24.04 points)
RB Todd Gurley(3 points)
RB Kareem Hunt(11.6 points)
WR A.J. Green(22.9 points)
WR Antonio Brown(15.7 points)
TE Travis Kelce(9.8 points)
RB Leonard Fournette(30.4 points)
K Dan Bailey(7 points)
DEF Minnesota Vikings(6 points)



Can Tug of War end their losing streak, and can Leaping Girl continue her winning streak? Find out in Week 6 of the Dog League.

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...
