Puppy Bowl III

Breaking News Flash: I don’t give a rat’s ass about the Uber Bowl. Shocking, but true.

Not that I’m much of a pro-football fan anyway, but it’s hard to get jazzed up about two teams that you know little about and care less than that. Even my brother-in-law, who is pretty die-hard with his sports watches for the commercials.

Ruckiry (not Jon’s boss), Animal Planet shows the Puppy Bowl at the same time. They throw a dozen or so puppies on a faux gridiron to romp around with chew toys and balls. The puppies wrestle and play. Now and again, they head over to the clear water bowl, where there is a camera situated right underneath. Not a lot cuter than a close-up of a puppy’s tongue lapping up the water.

Well there is: The Kitty Cat Half-Time Show.

I think the entire thing is 60 or 90 minutes and Animal Planet just keeps replaying it. It’s cute. It’s fun. It’s better than a Budweiser ad.
