Puppy Bowl VII
Once again Super Bowl Sunday brings us the genius that is Puppy Bowl!
I can imagine that the genesis of Puppy Bowl started back in a conference room at the Animal Planet:
"Super Bowl's coming up. What are we going to put on against it."
"We could show a rerun."
"Are you crazy? We'd actually have to pay royalties for that. And besides, everybody in the world is going to be watching the Super Bowl. We might as well broadcast a test pattern."
"Yeah, either that or just put a bunch of puppies on a little football field and watch them play with each other for 2 hours."
"That's a great idea!"
And so Puppy Bowl was born...

Since the real game ends so early on the West Coast we usually come down off our nachos and beer high by staring mindlessly at the Puppy Bowl. Plus it helps encourages guests to leave.

Re: Puppy Bowl VII
They called them chicken cheerleaders, but they were roosters.
Also, I saw during one of the commercial breaks that Animal Planet would be playing Fatal Attraction. That seems a little messed up.
