The Dog League: Week 1 Review(2018 Season)

In the opening week of the 2018 Dog League season, one of the best players in the NFL led a miraculous comeback to help one team comeback to win their own game. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tailwaggerz(90.04) vs Tug of War(127.26)


ANALYSIS

Our two time champs were in midseason form, as Tug of War easily took home a Week 1 win. Led by Alvin Kamara(34.1 points) and Kirk Cousins(20.36 points), they led the league in scoring and will head into Week 2 atop the Dog League standings. For Tailwaggerz, their vaunted running back corps made a worrying first impression. Kareem Hunt(4.9 points), David Johnson(12.7 points) and Dalvin Cook(7.5 points) were all held in check. Tailwaggerz will have to hope for a bounce back performance next week, and they did get a nice performance from Davante Adams(14.8 points) on Sunday night.


Game 2: Leaping Girl(100.64) vs Bark Force(125.18)


ANALYSIS

The much ballyhooed combo of Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins was Leaping Girl's main strength heading into the season, and her main downfall at the start of it. Watson(11.04 points) and Hopkins(7.1 points) never got going, and despite solid performances from Keenan Allen(16.8 points) and Ezekiel Elliott(14.6 points), Emma never really got close to the win. On the other side, Bark Force were absolutely stellar in their first game in the Dog League. Tom Brady(21.28 points, Julio Jones(18 points), Mike Evans(20.7 points), Greg Zuerlein(17 points and the Ravens defense(17 points) led an incredibly balanced team, who's only worry is the continued absence of Le'Veon Bell.


Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(121.54) vs Rare Woofs(105.12)


ANALYSIS

Rascal was in trouble on Sunday, falling behind by almost 40 points. Heading into the final game of the day, he was still trailing by 5, and at halftime of the Bears-Packers game, all hope seemed lost. But the return of Aaron Rodgers flipped the script in both real life and fantasy, as Rascal took a 20 point lead into the Monday night game, eventually clinching a dramatic Week 1 win. Rodgers(24.94 points) and Tyreek Hill(29.3 points) were the leaders, but it was the Rams defense(17 points) that sealed the win. Todd Gurley(20.7 points) did his best to bring Rare Woofs back, but the early exit of Leonard Fournette(5.5 points) certainly didn't help. Neither did the poor performance of the Chargers defense(-3 points) who not only finished in the negative, but also gave a huge boost to the Ridiculous Rascals, allowing Hill to have several long touchdowns.

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...
