Another week, another new receiver, as this time, Devin Funchess joins the team, as Marquise Goodwin is let go.

With Matt Ryan and Julio Jones on bye, problems keep coming for Tug of War, who are trapped in the midst of a three game losing streak. They dropped Matthew Stafford for Ben Roethlisberger, and will give Marlon Mack a start in the flex spot. Meanwhile, on the bench, Corey Clement was offloaded for Lamar Miller, who makes his return to the team, and Chris Hogan has been dropped for teammate Josh Gordon. Finally, the Jaguars defense were dropped for the Bears to close out one of the busiest weeks in Tug of War history.

Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (5-2, 2nd place)

As you'd expect for a team on a five game winning streak, not much change this week. Davante Adams and James Conner return, sending DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery to the bench. A big decision this week came between starting either Tyler Boyd or T.Y. Hilton, with Tailwaggerz sticking with Boyd for now, hoping last week's poor performance was an anomaly.

RB David Johnson

A few moves for top of the table Rascal, as he starts Aaron Rodgers over Drew Brees this week, while Antonio Brown returns to send Robert Woods to the flex spot. The Rams defense were dropped for the Eagles, and two stash plays were made on the bench. Peyton Barber was dropped for Adrian Peterson, and last minute addition Austin Ekeler waved farewell, as new Cowboy Amari Cooper got the spot.

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
