A few moves for Emma this week, as Ezekiel Elliott returns, sending Kerryon Johnson to the bench. Two new additions get starting spots, as Jameis Winston was dropped for Russell Wilson, who starts over Kirk Cousins, while the Colts defense were let go for the Cowboys.

Rare Woofs

Current Record: (3-5, 5th place)

The big story this week for Rare Woofs is new starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who was acquired last week in preparation for Andrew Luck going on bye. Another new starter is Marvin Jones, who was added for Tevin Coleman, while Kenyan Drake regains his starting spot from Isaiah Crowell. This week's defense is the Chiefs, who have a good match-up against a Browns team in turmoil.

Tug of War

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

Tug of War is now on a four game losing streak, and it doesn't get easier from here, as Marlon Mack, A.J. Green and Zach Ertz are all on bye. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are back, so they fill two spots, while Lamar Miller gets a start as well. Ben Roethlisberger was dropped for Jared Cook, who will start at tight end this week.

Bark Force

Current Record: (4-4, 3rd place)

With the two Giants players on bye, Stefon Diggs and Mark Ingram both get starts this week for Bark Force. They'll stream the Redskins defense this week, and could potentially have Sony Michel back, who could overthrow Ingram for the starting spot.

UPDATE: With Stefon Diggs officially inactive, Devin Funchess will start this week.

RB Mark Ingram
RB Latavius Murray
WR Mike Evans

DEF Washington Redskins


Ridiculous Rascals

Current Record: (5-3, 2nd place)

Rascal is another team impacted by byes, as Joe Mixon and Eric Ebron are not available. Melvin Gordon might be coming back, so he gets a starting spot with a good back-up option in Adrian Peterson. Meanwhile, Robby Anderson was dropped for Greg Olsen, and Rascal added the Panthers defense in place of the Eagles.

RB Melvin Gordon

Tailwaggerz

Current Record: (6-2, 1st place)

The bye-pocalypse continues with Tailwaggerz, who are missing David Johnson, Tyler Boyd, T.Y. Hilton and Alshon Jeffery. It looks like Cooper Kupp is returning, so he gets one starting spot, whilst new acquisition Chris Carson gets the other, added for DeSean Jackson. Cam Newton also gets a start this week over Jared Goff, as he has a great matchup against Tampa Bay.

Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Bark Force)

QB Cam Newton
RB Kareem Hunt
RB James Conner
WR Davante Adams
WR Cooper Kupp
TE David Njoku
RB Chris Carson

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 ...
