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.

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...
