The Biggest Bowl

Is anyone else starting to like the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet more than the actual Super Bowl?

The Puppy Bowl is no longer a guilty, secret pleasure to sneak a peek at while waiting for Super Bowl party guests to arrive.  I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying watching a bunch of puppies romp around in their own Super Bowl.  I feel good inside every time the referee blows a whistle and picks up a pup and penalizes the pooch for “ruff-ruff-ruffing the passer.”

Tom Brady can’t compete with adorable baby canines.  No one can.  Not even the LOLcats. 

I’d rather watch three hours of puppies exercising than three hours of “Instant” replay challenges, network promos, and meaningless sideline reporter interviews, even if the Super Bowl has had nostalgic commercials like Matthew Broderick reprising his Ferris Bueller role and Larry Bird and Michael Jordan starring in Nothing But Net.

I wonder what would happen in the Middle East if they showed everyone the Puppy Bowl?

Puppy Power, Ho!
