When my roommate told me about Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl, I thought she was kidding, and also had weird/sad images of bowling with puppies. Turns out, it’s not a cruel joke, but the greatest Super Bowl alternative EVER! I could try to explain it to you, but Animal Planet did such a good job with their clever alliterations, describing the spectacle as “an all-star lineup of rambunctious, rescue pups competing in the ultimate showdown full of dogged defense, puppy penalties and fido first downs.” Pure poetry.
Just when you thought Puppy Bowl couldn’t get any better, it does with the promise of bunny rabbit cheerleaders, hamster commentators and a kitty half time show!!! This orgy of cuteness is a welcome change to the usual Super Bowl Blah. I feel like 80% of the people watching only do so for the commercials, and since all of ads are posted the interwebs after, there is really no reason to watch a bunch of big dudes smash into each other for what feels like an eternity. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching most sporting events, especially in person, but for some reason if I’m not physically at a football game, my attention span doesn’t get past the first “hut, hut, hike!” or whatever the Quarterman yells.
Puppy Bowl is basically everything the Super Bowl is and more. You can still throw a party, eat ’til you puke, and drink til the puppies come home . Honestly, it took me a really long time to write this because I kept getting distracted by the lineup of puppy players. Oh man. I’m stoked. The only way this could get any better is if I could find a bar showing the game…
Oh wait…it got better
