The Dog League; Week 16 Review(2018 Playoffs)

A new champion is crowned in Week 16 of the Dog League. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Fifth Place Game: #5 Tug of War(125.46) vs #6 Leaping Girl(97.84)


ANALYSIS

Deshaun Watson(36.46 points) led the way, as Tug of War waltzed to an easy win and the first pick in next year's draft. Struggling stars Alvin Kamara(22.5 points) and Zach Ertz(23 points) both delivered as well, providing more than enough secondary scoring. This is Leaping Girl's seventh consecutive playoff loss, with only Russell Wilson(28.54 points) scoring reasonably high. Now picking last in the 2019 Draft, the future is not bright for the perennial last place team.


Third Place Game: #1 Ridiculous Rascals(136.64) vs #3 Bark Force(116.42)


ANALYSIS

Ridiculous Rascals recovered face by demolishing Bark Force, as Antonio Brown(30.5 points) delivered his biggest game of the season. However, it was the last minute addition of Kyle Rudolph(24.2 points), added mostly as a joke around Christmas, who provided an incredible outburst of scoring. Bark Force got another big game out of Patrick Mahomes(28.22 points), as well as an outstanding effort from injury substitute Jamaal Williams(21.6 points), but it wasn't enough. The once odds-on favorite took a nosedive in both playoff games, and most now pick fifth next year, while Rascal receives the second pick.


Championship Game: #2 Tailwaggerz(115.5) vs #4 Rare Woofs(103.08)


ANALYSIS

Missing Todd Gurley, Rare Woofs were too inconsistent to get the job done. Players like Tarik Cohen(1.9 points), Rob Gronkowski(0 points) and the Broncos defense(1 point) all were at their worst. On the other hand, Andrew Luck(21.58 points) and Chris Carson(23.6 points) played well, and nearly pulled off the upset. For Tailwaggerz, waiver addition Ben Roethlisberger(29.6 points) and late starter Damien Williams(18 points) made them look like geniuses. Tailwaggerz have had an incredible season, as despite a slow start, losing their first two games, they bounced back to win seven in a row and they never looked back. After finishing last in the regular season twice in a row, they narrowly missed out on the regular season championship, but that matters very little. They took out the two expansion teams to claim their first title, becoming the first team other than Tug of War to do so. With this win, Tailwaggerz will go down as one of the best teams in Dog League history, consistently scoring over 90 points in almost every game. Here's your championship squad:


Tailwaggerz Final Roster

QB Ben Roethlisberger
QB Jared Goff
RB Damien Williams
RB Derrick Henry
RB Dalvin Cook
RB James Conner
RB David Johnson
RB Jaylen Samuels
WR T.Y. Hilton
WR Davante Adams
WR Alshon Jeffery
WR Tyler Lockett
TE Jared Cook
K Greg Zuerlein
DEF Houston Texans

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...
