The Dog League: Week 3 Review(2018 Season)

Week 3 of the Dog League saw a new team take first, a new one drop to last and the Minnesota Vikings nearly destroy everything. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(81.84) vs Rare Woofs(70.78)


ANALYSIS

The now former league leaders survived this week, as Kirk Cousins(10.04 points) and Dan Bailey(0 points) of the Vikings both did their best to cost their own team the game. No one was particularly outstanding for Tug of War, although Alvin Kamara(19 points) continued to play well. With rumors of a new starting quarterback, injuries on the bench and the loss of first place, the league's only champions are beginning to feel the pressure. On the Bark Force side, Chris Thompson(1.7 points) and Kenyan Drake(1 point) were noteworthy for their struggles, as the team failed to get anything going. They'll try to fix the running back situation next week, and they should be getting back Leonard Fournette.


Game 2: Tailwaggerz(102.9) vs Leaping Girl(94.2)


ANALYSIS

Cam Newton(29.6 points) led the way for Tailwaggerz this week, as they climbed out of last place with their first win this season. Leaping Girl's struggles continue, as she has now lost three consecutive games to start the year, and now sits well and truly behind the pack. Deshaun Watson(25 points) kept her in it, but it was the slow day for Keenan Allen(2.4 points) and the shocking performance of the Vikings defense(94.2 points) that proved to be the deciders.


Game 3: Bark Force(122.96) vs Ridiculous Rascals(137.74)


ANALYSIS

Bark Force gave it their all, but unfortunately ran into a nearly unbeatable juggernaut. Patrick Mahomes(25.26 points), Carlos Hyde(22.3 points) and Mike Evans (19.7 points) were all among the best in their positions, but it wasn't enough. Yet again, the Vikings played a role in this game, as Stefon Diggs(1.7 points) really cost his team, while Adrian Peterson(24 points) sat on the bench, with more than enough to earn Bark Force a victory. For the Ridiculous Rascals, the celebrations are on, as thanks to the low scoring of Tug of War, they will take first place for the first time this season. Drew Brees(40.54 points) put on a show, while Christian McCaffrey(19.4 points) took advantage of LeSean McCoy's absence to put his stamp on the starting job.

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...
