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 Pay-Per-View Reviews: ECW Heatwave 1998

As the world collectively loses it's mind over the coronavirus(this could be a fun intro to look back on in the future), the only sanity that can be found is in the ring. Let's take a look today at what is often considered ECW's finest outing, Heatwave '98. - Jokes aside, everyone should stay safe out there. I know it's easy to panic about these mass outbreaks, and I've certainly felt very nervous about everything I've heard and read over the past week. But I think we all need some fun in our lives right now, and this show is the epitome of distraction. - The opening contest is one of the highlights of the night, as Jerry Lynn takes on Justin Credible. Credible has an entire entourage in his corner, including Chastity, Jason and Nicole Bass, and their involvement in this match at times bordered on excessive. But the match begins to hit it's peak when Lynn puts Credible through a table with a hurricanrana, and it's all fantastic from...

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...

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...
