Sports: The Big Game

Sunday’s big game. The passion. The rivalry. The tail-wagging.

That’s right, it was the 2022 Puppy Bowl. If you didn’t hear, Team Fluff won. Coaches and commentators were Martha Stewart and (of course) Snoop Dogg.

It’s 2022 in America, so some very, very bad boys tried to offer online betting on the Puppy Bowl. No treats for them.

The Big Game

Sunday, February 2, 2014: Time for the Big Game. That’s right, Puppy Bowl X is on Animal Planet at the same time as Fox shows some kind of New Jersey sports spectacle.The cute canine competitors come from shelters, and always get adopted before the Puppy Bowl airs, but this year viewers can participate by picking Puppy Bowl Fantasy Teams.

So, if all dogs go to heaven, does God pick the winner of the Puppy Bowl? Maybe you should pray for your puppy team, just to be on the safe side.

The Big Game

The Big Game is tomorrow, Sunday, February 6, 2011. Not the one in Dallas, the other one. The Puppy Bowl kicks off at 3 PM on Animal Planet. Jenna Goudreau calls the event “Super Bowl 2011’s Hairy Underbelly.” The Animal Planet network has already released the starting lineup but you can see all the awww-some photos of the players at once on the New York Post website.  Puppy players were drafted from shelters across the country.

There’s already a Pre-Game Show on Animal Planet’s website, which will carry the show tomorrow and game highlights for months to come.

Big Game Highlights

There was only one word for Sunday’s big game: rough ruff. In the history of football, there has never been a contest like Super Bowl XLIV Puppy Bowl VI.

This year’s halftime show was distinctly disappointing, and the choice of MVP controversial, but the game surely advanced the state of play. Treats and belly rubs for both teams.

No puppies, kitties, hamsters or lop-earred bunnies were harmed during the game. It’s Animal Planet, people.
