The Dog League: Week 1 Preview(2018 Season)

With the start of a new NFL season right around the corner, it's time to enter the third season of Dog League play. This year we have two new teams joining the league, as two-time champions Tug of War face perhaps the stiffest competition yet. Are you ready for football? (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Tug of War

Two line-up changes in Week 1 for Tug of War, as they bring in Jordan Howard to the swing role to replace Devonta Freeman and Doug Baldwin was subbed out for Brandin Cooks, who has a potentially great game on Monday night against the Raiders.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Kirk Cousins
RB Alvin Kamara
RB Saquon Barkley
WR A.J. Green
WR Brandin Cooks
TE Zach Ertz
RB Jordan Howard
K Chris Boswell
DEF Jacksonville Jaguars


Ridiculous Rascals

Rascal seems to be happy with the line-up he's been given thanks to the Draft, as no moves were made there. However, he didn't have a backup quarterback, so he's gotten the best possible, dropping Jack Doyle to acquire Drew Brees.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Rare Woofs)

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Antonio Brown
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Jimmy Graham
RB Christian McCaffrey
K Wil Lutz
DEF Los Angeles Rams


Tailwaggerz

This is yet another team happy with their draft, as no moves were made to the starting line-up. Two moves were made on the bench, as Carson Wentz and his injury problems were dropped for Jared Goff. The suspended Mark Ingram was also offloaded for Patriots running back Rex Burkhead.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Cam Newton
RB David Johnson
RB Kareem Hunt
WR T.Y. Hilton
WR Davante Adams
TE Greg Olsen
RB Dalvin Cook
K Matt Bryant
DEF Philadelphia Eagles


Leaping Girl

Emma decided to take out new 49er Jerick McKinnon from her starting line-up against her Vikings defense, opting for a safer choice in Alex Collins. She also decide to sub in Marvin Jones into the swing spot for Adam Thielen, while Jordan Reed takes the starting spot away from Evan Engram. The injured Derrius Guice was dropped for Ben Roethlisberger, as she needed a backup quarterback.

UPDATE: With Jerick McKinnon now out for the season, Leaping Girl has chosen not to activate Option C, instead adding Kerryon Johnson.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Bark Force)

QB Deshaun Watson
RB Ezekiel Elliott
RB Alex Collins
WR Keenan Allen
WR DeAndre Hopkins
TE Jordan Reed
WR Marvin Jones
K Justin Tucker
DEF Minnesota Vikings


Rare Woofs

Onto to the first of the new expansion teams, and Rare Woofs has an incredible starting line-up, feeling no pressure to make any changes. On the bench, they did drop Alshon Jeffery, who will miss the first two weeks, to get a backup quarterback in the returning Andrew Luck.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Russell Wilson
RB Todd Gurley
RB Leonard Fournette
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Michael Thomas
TE Rob Gronkowski
RB Kenyan Drake
K Stephen Gostkowski
DEF Los Angeles Chargers


Bark Force

Here we have one of the strangest teams in the league, as Bark Force have made a gusty call before Week 1. They've opted to start Royce Freeman, benching fellow rookie Rashaad Penny, as the new Broncos rookie back will start in his first NFL game. The Texans defense were dropped for the Ravens, as Houston will face the Bark Force quarterback Tom Brady. Finally, Emmanuel Sanders was dropped for Matt Ryan, as he will be the new backup.

UPDATE: With Le'Veon Bell having not signed his franchise tender yet, Bark Force has dropped Delanie Walker to add Carlos Hyde, who will enter the starting line-up for right now.

Week 1 Starting Line-Up(vs Leaping Girl)

QB Tom Brady
RB Carlos Hyde
RB Royce Freeman
WR Julio Jones
WR Odell Beckham
TE Travis Kelce
WR Mike Evans
K Greg Zuerlein
DEF Baltimore Ravens

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...
