The Dog League: 2019 Preseason Update

I don't normally do update posts in the Preseason, but there's been enough happening in the Dog League to necessitate this post, especially yesterday. Let's begin. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Rule Changes

First off, I've removed the rule that any fumble forced would be a +1 to the DEF and a -1 to the offensive player. I think it was a good idea in theory, but having watched a lot of game highlights lately, there are so many fumbles in each game that it would be too overpowered.




Tug of War

First for roster changes is Tug of War, who unexpectedly lost starting QB Andrew Luck to an early retirement. They'll activate Option C to bring in Jacoby Brissett, who will back-up new starting QB Philip Rivers.




Bark Force

Not as big of news but still noteworthy as Bark Force lost bench RB Lamar Miller to what will likely be a season ending injury. They also activate Option C, acquiring Duke Johnson to sit on the bench.




Leaping Girl

Finally we have Leaping Girl, who deals with the most catastrophic situation in the holdout of star RB Melvin Gordon. He may still return, but she prepares for the possibility that he will not, dropping Miles Sanders to add Justin Jackson. Though Austin Ekeler will likely be the better performer to start the year, she's gambling the Jackson is the better option long term. If Gordon does miss Week 1, Leaping Girl will start Phillip Lindsay in his stead.

Henry's Universe Mode #120: Raw

With Fastlane just under two weeks away, we have a big night in store here on Raw. Sasha Banks looks to earn another title shot, the tag champs are in non-title action and in the main event, for the first time since winning the Royal Rumble, Samoa Joe is in action when he faces Mark Henry. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw February 20th, 2017 Location: Anchorage, AK Itami and Balor vs #DIY The tag champs were in action to open Raw, and their opponents were the debuting Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
