A clash of the titans headlines Week 4 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Leaping Girl

Current Record: (0-3, 6th place)

After three consecutive losses to start the season, Leaping Girl finds herself well behind the rest of the league, with not much left to lose. She'll experiment with her line-up this week, bringing in three new starters. Marvin Jones was dropped for Emmanuel Sanders, who takes Adam Thielen's spot in the swing role. The Vikings defense were dropped for the Seahawks, and with Jordan Reed on bye, the injured Evan Engram was dropped for Trey Burton.

UPDATE: With Keenan Allen a game-time decision, Leaping Girl dropped Josh Gordon and added Mike Williams, who will go in if Allen is injured.

Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (1-2, 5th place)

Coming off of their first win of the year, it's a quiet week of Tailwaggerz with just one move on the bench, as they dropped Dion Lewis for Chris Carson. With starting quarterback Cam Newton on bye, Jared Goff with assume the spot on Thursday night.

Bark Force

Current Record: (1-2, 4th place)

Bark Force continues to struggle with figuring out their roster, as they continue to leave big scorers on the bench. This week, they'll start JuJu Smith-Schuster in the flex spot over Stefon Diggs, and drop the Ravens defense for the Chargers, who have a good matchup against the 49ers. Maybe this will be the week that Bark Force finally puts their best foot forward.

Tug of War

Current Record: (3-0, 2nd place)

The headlines for the league this week all reside around Tug of War, who have sent a message to all of their players. After a poor game against the Buffalo Bills, Kirk Cousins is out, not to the bench but dropped altogether. In his place comes Matt Ryan, who will start in his first game for the team. Fellow Falcon Tevin Coleman takes a spot on the bench, as longtime Tug of War running back Devonta Freeman is finally dropped.

WR A.J. Green

Ridiculous Rascals

Current Record: (3-0, 1st place)

Rascal did look to make changes coming into his big game against Tug of War, but there were slim pickings on the waiver wire. One line-up change, as Christian McCaffrey is on his bye, so Marshawn Lynch takes the spot among the starters. Rascal could also have the option of starting the possibly returning LeSean McCoy, but McCoy will not get the spot for right now.

Week 4 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Drew Brees
RB Marshawn Lynch
RB Melvin Gordon
WR Antonio Brown

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...
