Leaping Girl

Current Record: (2-6, 6th place)

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.

WR Michael Thomas
TE O.J. Howard

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.

Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Ridiculous Rascals)

QB Matt Ryan
RB Alvin Kamara
RB Phillip Lindsay

DEF Chicago Bears


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.

Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Tailwaggerz)

QB Patrick Mahomes
RB Mark Ingram
RB Latavius Murray
WR Mike Evans
WR Devin Funchess
TE Travis Kelce
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster
K Patrick Mahomes
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.

Week 9 Starting Line-Up(vs Tug of War)

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Melvin Gordon
RB Christian McCaffrey
WR Antonio Brown
WR Tyreek Hill
TE Greg Olsen
WR Robert Woods
K Cody Parkey
DEF Carolina Panthers


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
K Greg Zuerlein

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...
