The Dog League: Week 16 Preview(2017 Playoffs)

After 15 long weeks and almost 4 months, it all comes down to one game between the Ridiculous Rascals and Tug of War to crown the 2017 Dog League champion. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Third Place Game: (4) Tailwaggerz vs (3) Leaping Girl



Tailwaggerz

It was a narrow loss for the Tailwaggerz in the first round of the playoffs, as they came only 7 points away making the unlikely trip to the championship game. In the final game of the season, they will keep things simple, making one line-up change, bringing Alex Smith in for Tom Brady. 

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Alex Smith
RB Le'Veon Bell
RB Jordan Howard
WR Mike Evans
WR Michael Thomas
TE Zach Ertz
RB Kenyan Drake
K Wil Lutz
DEF Baltimore Ravens


Leaping Girl

A rather decisive loss ended Leaping Girl's chances at a championship, as she now will look for revenge from last season, where she lost to Tailwaggerz in the third place game. Robert Woods was brought in for Doug Martin, replacing DeMarco Murray in the line-up. Two Panthers players will get the opportunity to start as well, as Cam Newton and Greg Olsen replace Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham respectively.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Cam Newton
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Alvin Kamara
WR Keenan Allen
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Greg Olsen
WR Robert Woods
K Justin Tucker
DEF Jacksonville Jaguars


Championship Game: (2) Ridiculous Rascals vs (1) Tug of War


Ridiculous Rascals

For the second year in a row, Ridiculous Rascals will play in the Dog League's championship game. They'll look to turn around their fortunes from last year, and will get running back Ezekiel Elliott back to do it, as he replaces Brandin Cooks. Rascal also switched defenses, dropping the Saints for the Vikings, and kickers, as Kai Forbath was dropped for Harrison Butker.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Matthew Stafford
RB Mark Ingram
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Adam Thielen
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Ezekiel Elliott
K Harrison Butker
DEF Minnesota Vikings


Tug of War

Will Tug of War become two time Dog League champions? During the season, perhaps no one would've foreseen that they would be back, but here they are, attempting to win their second consecutive Dog League title. They'll have to do it without Antonio Brown, as A.J Green will fill in this week for the injured star wideout.

Week 16 Starting Line-Up

QB Russell Wilson
RB Devonta Freeman
RB Todd Gurley
WR A.J. Green
WR Julio Jones
TE Travis Kelce
RB Kareem Hunt
K Chris Boswell
DEF Denver Broncos

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
