The Dog League: Week 2 Review(2018 Season)

Week 2 saw one team struggle with wide receivers, while another pulled off a very narrow victory. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(121.2) vs Leaping Girl(102.8)


ANALYSIS

On a day where the bulk of their team struggled, Tug of War still picked up a decisive win, thanks mostly to the efforts of Kirk Cousins(33.5 points) and A.J. Green(24.9 points). With rumors of a league mandated trade involving Tug of War, we'll have to see how the team responds to losing a star player. On the other side, Deshaun Watson(22.8 points) and DeAndre Hopkins(17 points) finally came to play, but it wasn't enough for Leaping Girl. With two losses in a row to start the season, she continues to play from behind, but luckily hasn't slipped into last place yet.


Game 2: Ridiculous Rascals(101.32) vs Tailwaggerz(100.3)


ANALYSIS

Melvin Gordon(24.6 points) was the hero for Ridiculous Rascals this week in an extremely close game against Tailwaggerz. Cam Newton(27.6 points) put in a great performance for Tailwaggerz, but they ended up falling just over one point short. David Johnson(5.1 points) and Jared Cook(4.9 points) both let down Tailwaggerz, as both struggled, particularly late in their games, were one big play could've won the game. Johnson's struggles only compounded the issue, as the Rams defense(13 points) proved pivotal again for the Ridiculous Rascals.


Game 3: Rare Woofs(107.54) vs Bark Force(78.06)


ANALYSIS

It was another big day for Todd Gurley(29.3 points) helping lead Rare Woofs to their first win, while Michael Thomas(18.9 points) continued his hot start to the year. Bark Force now has a glaring weakness at running back, where Adrian Peterson(5 points) and Carlos Hyde(11 points) proved that they are not elite level starters. On the bench, Stefon Diggs(26.9 points) and JuJu Smith-Schuster(18.1 points) highlighted the unbalanced roster. Clearly, a move will need to be made to make Bark Force into a more capable team. In tomorrow's post, one of their starting receivers(Odell Beckham, Julio Jones or Mike Evans) will be shipped off to Tug of War, in exchange for a running back. We'll have to see how that move effects both teams.

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...
