Puppy Bowl

The Funny Site of the Day -- Golly, now this is exciting! Animal Planet, I love you, not only for a viable alternative to the Super Bowl, but also for writing this entry.

"We've traded in linebackers for labradors and quarterbacks for corgis and we're releasing the hounds for Puppy Bowl IV on Sunday, Feb. 3.... From baby beagles to mini dachshunds to mixed breeds — viewers are in for a fantastic lineup that's itching to play in a winning combination of tackles, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The renowned Harry Kalas, voice of NFL Films, returns to call the play-by-plays of this year's game."

What could possibly be more thrilling? Um, this just handed to me:

"For all the feline fans, the Bissell Kitty Half-Time Show is back! The lively kittens show off their moves on a glittery stage and chase each other around the field. Tom Petty's performance has nothing on these tiny tabbies and cuddly calicos which prove that watching curious kittens batting around a toy mouse is all the entertainment you need. It's the pick of the litter for halftime shows!"

I am getting the vapors. See highlights of previous scrimmages and the easy-on-the-eyes pussycat performers in the online Video Zone, plus play Puppy Puzzles and Pair the Puppies, and peruse plans for your tail-gate puppy party powwow bowwow.

Remember, all of the young talent taking the field have been scouted from shelters, so take a moment to consider making an animal adoption touchdown.
