The Dog League: Week 8 Review(2018 Season)

Tailwaggerz nabs first and Tug of War can't catch a break in Week 8 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(118.08) vs Rare Woofs(125.56)


ANALYSIS

Only two players bothered to show up on Sunday for Rare Woofs, as Andrew Luck(23.36 points) and Todd Gurley(27.5 points) kept the team in the game. On Monday night, the Patriots defense(20 points) delivered, bringing home the second win in a row for Rare Woofs. On the Tug of War side, only Dan Bailey(2 points) noticeably struggled, while Marlon Mack(26.9 points) led the way. Just a tough loss to take for Tug of War, who now drop into fourth place on a four game losing streak.


Game 2: Leaping Girl(95.96) vs Tailwaggerz(128.2)


ANALYSIS

You can't understate the importance of James Conner(33.2 points) to this Tailwaggerz team. If/when Le'Veon Bell returns, they could be hard pressed to replace his production. DeAndre Hopkins(20.2 points) provided most of the firepower for Leaping Girl, who fell meekly into last place, while Tailwaggerz are into first place for the first time in their history.


Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(115.44) vs Bark Force(121.32)


ANALYSIS

It was a duel in Cincinnati as Joe Mixon(25.8 points) for Rascal and Mike Evans(23.9 points) for Bark Force battled it out. Evans may have lost the battle, but he did win the war, as Bark Force narrowly scrapped through for the win. Patrick Mahomes(26.02 points) did win his matchup, defeating Aaron Rodgers(15.94 points), though he did have a little help. Ty Montgomery's fumble late in the Rams-Packers game cost Rodgers any chance to retake the field, ending his day prematurely. Ultimately, there's no way of knowing if Rodgers had been able to put up the points necessary to win Rascal the game, but it's excruciating knowing there was a chance for a win that wasn't taken. It goes without saying that Rascal is distraught over this loss, but now in second place, he'll just have to pick his head up and get back to work next week.

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...
