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!

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
