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.

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
