The Dog League: Week 15 Review(2018 Playoffs)

Bark Force implodes and Rascal makes history in Week 15 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






First Round: #2 Tailwaggerz(108.96) vs #3 Bark Force(64.42)


ANALYSIS

You could've predicted Tailwaggerz winning this game, but I don't think anyone could've seen this shocking performance from Bark Force coming. Aaron Jones(0.8 points) went out injured and Saquon Barkley(5.6 points) was completely held in check, with no other starters stepping up to carry the load. For Tailwaggerz, their pieced together running back corps delivered, as David Johnson(16.1 points), Damian Williams(24.3 points) and Jaylen Samuels(17.2 points) provided unexpected high scoring. Tailwaggerz have gotten through perhaps their toughest test, and advance to the championship to face...


First Round: #1 Ridiculous Rascals(78.62) vs #4 Rare Woofs(85.98)


ANALYSIS

Rascal was a heavy favorite heading into this game, and this shocking loss makes him the first regular season champion to not make or win the Dog League championship. Most of the blame falls at the feet of Drew Brees(5.92 points), who could've easily won this game on Monday night. For some positive, Joe Mixon(25 points) had one of the best games of his season, but it just wasn't enough. Rare Woofs were once again led by Todd Gurley(24.4 points) who kept up with Mixon, and it's also worth noting the contributions of spot starter Justin Jackson(14.5 points).




It seemed almost assured that Ridiculous Rascals and Bark Force would meet in the championship, but the wacky world of fantasy football had other ideas. Join me tomorrow for a breakdown of the final three games of the Dog League season, including the championship game between Tailwaggerz and Rare Woofs!

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...
