Puppy Bowl IX

The Puppy Bowl is back!

Sunday Feb 3, 3PM Eastern/Pacific
Animal Planet

Once again, Meep the Bird will be tweeting highlights during the game while the hamster-piloted blimp will provide views from above the action.

New this year will be hedgehog cheerleaders and the slo-mo Cute Cam.

Starting line-up.

And of course, the Kitty Half-time Show.

Late breaking news! Puppies predict a 49ers win!!!

Speaking as someone who hates sports and loves puppies, I’ll be there just like every year. I get an big ‘event’ to look forward too as well, but mine is absolutely adorable.

Yeah, I’ve been TiVo-ing it for years now! Mostly for the Kitty Halftime Show. Something I’d wish they’d do is not so overstimulate the kittens. They fill the stadium with so many toys and lights and sparklys that the kittens spend too much time just being overwhelmed rather than playing with each other (like the puppies do). And the confetti-finale just seems to scare them most of all! :eek:

Agreed.

Huh- what’s up with all the Catahoulas? Also seems to be a large pit representation.

Reminder bump.
Starts in 15 minutes(EST)

The Puppy Bowl is the only reason I turn on the tv on Super Bowl Sunday.

Ah ha ha, I tuned in just as somebody took a big dump right in front of the camera.

10 yard penalty for “excessive puppies on the ref”. :smiley:

I hate the “celebrity” cut-aways. Very distracting, very contrived. I don’t know or care who those schmoes are. Bleah.

Seconded. And there seems to be a crap load more advertising.

I’m hoping one of the puppies takes a leak on that stupid gecko.

And Marta is named Most Valuable Puppy!

ZOMG puppy pile in the locker room!!! They’re all asleep!

I really like the Subaru commercial. Especially the Mastiff who steals the mail truck. I heard they were doing a Puppy Bowl commercial and not a Super Bowl commercial.

Is there a urine test for cuteness-enhancing drugs?

I don’t know what game the voters were watching, but Sally was obviously the best athlete on the field. That first TD she scored, she was untouched. :slight_smile:

But Marta was pinned deep in her own territory by three defensive linemen, each at least twice her size and she fought her way free.

Yeah, Marta was awesome!
