Are you ready for the cutest, most adorable faux sporting event of the year?
Animal Planet has announced the lineup for Puppy Bowl VII, the annual Super Bowl antidote pitting irresistible pups against each other and a slew of chew toys on the gridiron.
The football-with-puppies game has aired the same day as its fellow venerated American tradition, the Super Bowl, for the past seven years.
The 20-pup starting lineup was assembled from shelters and rescues across the country and as far as the U.S. Virgin Islands, all of whom will be vying for the title of MVP, or most valuable puppy (surely you knew that).
Among our favorites: a Lab mix named Jack, who has apparently learned to deal cards and pick up some hours at the local casino in the 12 weeks he has been alive, according to his profile; and 16-week old "Little Red," a shih tzu-beagle mix who has a culinary degree.

I'm not kidding you! We record it every year.
The Super Bowl? Eh! We watch it, sure, but we view it on the other 46”, a Toshiba Regza, which, while quite good, is not the Samsung.
No, the Puppy Bowl gets that one!
CA....
A culinary degree? That sounds interesting.
Ya never know. lol
You have good taste!
Hope Michael Vick doesn’t referee the Puppy Bowl?
The best chefs, choose [hunt] their own meat!
Funny once. Lib sister watches every year, reminds us of it by email, then gets huffy when we tell her thanks, but we’re not interested.
You’d think we had dissed The Big 0 or something, the way it upsets her.
I LOVE the puppy bowl! I can’t wait.
I sure hope that mean-ass Michael Vick don’t show up though.
I had a shih tzu that supervised the kitchen every night but she didn’t have a culinary degree.
I’m watching Super Bowl XLV on my 40” Sony KDL-40EX500. My stepdad can watch old Hong Kong TV shows on my 26” Vizio M260VA (I hooked up an old VCR for this purpose).
I want Duncan. I have a dog now that is a similar mix. The best dog ever.
