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.

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!

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. ...

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
