The Dog League: Week 9 Review(2018 Season)

Tug of War strikes back in Week 9 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Game 1: Tug of War(142.3) vs Ridiculous Rascals(121.96)


ANALYSIS

The trio of Matt Ryan(28 points), Alvin Kamara(29.6 points) and the Bears defense(28 points) powered Tug of War to a decisive win this week, ending their four game losing streak and moving back into 2nd place. Rascal by no means had a poor game, with Christian McCaffrey (27.7 points) leading the way, but not much was going to be enough against Tug of War this week.


Game 2: Tailwaggerz(125.78) vs Bark Force(81.8)


ANALYSIS

Another week, another win for a Tailwaggerz squad that is already one of the best in Dog League history. Cam Newton(21.18 points), Kareem Hunt(32.1 points) and James Conner(22.3 points) nearly won the game by themselves, as Bark Force was downright atrocious. At least a couple of the Chiefs players, Patrick Mahomes(26.8 points) and Travis Kelce(21.9 points) did well, but the likes of Mark Ingram(1.6 points), Mike Evans(1.6 points) and the Redskins defense(0 points) stunk up the joint. Next week, Bark Force will get back Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham, but will that be enough to beat a rejuvenated Tug of War?


Game 3: Rare Woofs(98.78) vs Leaping Girl(116.7)


ANALYSIS

Leaping Girl is out of last place, mainly thanks to the efforts of James White(22.3 points). She'll have a rivalry game next week against Ridiculous Rascals. Rare Woofs two game winning streak comes to an end, as Michael Thomas(27.1 points) tried his best to carry the load. With Andrew Luck on bye, Rare Woofs were forced to turn to Mitchell Trubisky(8 points) who simply couldn't get the job done, while Kenyan Drake(3.5 points) continues to engender hate and love in equal measure.

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...
