The Dog League: Week 8 Preview(2017 Season)

You can find the Week 7 Review here. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

It's been a tough two weeks for Emma, as after failing to get four yards to topple the Tailwaggerz, she played well against Rascal, who still beat her quite easily. It doesn't get any easier against Tug of War this week, but she does bring in a strong line-up. Emma made one waiver move this week, acquiring Doug Martin for Ty Montgomery. She brought the Seahawks defense into her line-up, but perhaps her most interesting moves were the ones she didn't make, as she chose not to start Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins against her defense.

Week 8 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Drew Brees
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Doug Martin
WR Dez Bryant
WR Chris Hogan
TE Jimmy Graham
WR T.Y. Hilton
K Justin Tucker
DEF Seattle Seahawks


Tailwaggerz

After losing out to Tug of War last week and putting up a general poor performance, Tailwaggerz will look to rebound this week, but face the first place Ridiculous Rascals. They will start Doug Baldwin this week, coming off of a great game, for the on-bye Jordy Nelson. Plus, it's a welcome back to the Dog League for the Eagles defense, as they replaced the Baltimore Ravens.

Week 8 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Tom Brady
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Jordan Howard
WR Doug Baldwin
WR Mike Evans
TE Zach Ertz
WR Michael Thomas
K Stephen Gostkowski

Tug of War

Another week in second place for Tug of War, but are coming off a nice win, rebounding from their three-game skid. Their line-up is filled with big players in good match-ups, and they seem set for another big week. They were forced to replace Todd Gurley, with A.J. Green entering the starting line-up, as Devonta Freeman vacates the flex spot. One waiver move was made, but it was relatively minor, as Jarvis Landry returned to the team for Terrelle Pryor.

 Week 8 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Matt Ryan
RB Devonta Freeman
RB Kareem Hunt
WR Julio Jones
WR Antonio Brown
TE Travis Kelce
WR A.J. Green

QB Dak Prescott
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Ezekiel Elliott
WR Brandin Cooks

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...
