The Dog League: Week 5 Review(2018 Season)

Tug of War struggles as Tailwaggerz and Rare Woofs duel it out in Week 5 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(74.8) vs Bark Force(146.82)


ANALYSIS

The Giants finally came to play for Bark Force, as Saquon Barkley(24.9 points) and Odell Beckham(23.38 points) had their best games of the season. Add in Tom Brady(27.54 points), and you have one of the biggest wins in Dog League history, as Bark Force ends the winning streak of the league leaders and now looks to begin to climb up the standings. For Tug of War, only Zach Ertz(17 points) showed up this week. Poor games from Alvin Kamara(3.9 points) and Julio Jones(6.2 points), with an early exit from Brandin Cooks, mean the two time champs were held under 100 points once again.


Game 2: Tailwaggerz(112.74) vs Rare Woofs(108)


ANALYSIS

In a game that included over 10 lead changes, Tailwaggerz get their third win of the season, largely thanks to the contributions of James Conner(30.5 points). David Johnson(19.1 points) provided his best game of the year, and luckily the decision to bench Davante Adams(20 points) did not come back to haunt Tailwaggerz in the end. Rare Woofs were not so lucky, as both Isaiah Crowell(29.1 points) and Kenyan Drake(17.5 points) were left on the bench, both having the ability to win the game had they replaced Calvin Ridley(3.8 points). The contributions of Todd Gurley(29.3 points) weren't enough for Rare Woofs this week, who now drop into last place.


Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(138.82) vs Leaping Girl(95.3)


ANALYSIS

Drew Brees(26.72 points), Antonio Brown(22.1 points) and Eric Ebron(22.5 points) all starred for Rascal this week, as he got an easy win in a rivalry game over Leaping Girl. For Emma, Deshaun Watson(21 points) kept her in the game on Sunday night, but Ezekiel Elliott(8.4 points) was held in check. Leaping Girl will need to solve her problems at tight end, as neither Vance McDonald(0.6 points) or Jordan Reed(2.1 points) look ready to start.

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...
