Whether you're rooting for the Eagles or Chiefs in Super Bowl 57, one immutable fact everyone can agree on is this: Puppies are cute, and fun to watch. Thankfully for fans of both teams (or neither), Puppy Bowl 2023 will more than satisfy their cute quota on Super Bowl Sunday as more than 100 pups from across the United States bumble, stumble and tumble their way onto TV screens (and into hearts). The event, of course, is charitable in nature: Event organizers aim to continue the Puppy Bowl's streak of 100 percent adoption rates. That shouldn't be a problem as...

Ahead of Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl X this Sunday, hype for the annual special was amped up recently when First Lady Michelle Obama and the First Family’s dogs Bo and Sunny worked to “train” some of the pups for the big game.Joined by 12 first- and second-grade students from Harriet Tubman Elementary School, Michelle Obama, Bo and Sunny put the puppies through their paces to make sure they were ready to compete in Puppy Bowl X, and to be healthy for life. Animal Planet says it was inspired by the First Lady’s Let’s Move! initiative to overcome childhood obesity, and...

For some, Animal Planet’s annual “Puppy Bowl” is more sacred than the Super Bowl. CNN summed it up in a nutshell: . . . the sublime result of pairing a bunch of wiggly puppies — 66, in fact — with squeaky toys and a mini-stadium set. Add a “rufferee” and a kitty-filled halftime, and every floppy tackle or slobbered-on football inspires an unintelligible burst of baby talk and giggles. That’s the power of puppies! Maybe it’s not for everyone, but those who love it want to keep politics out, and who can blame them? This year, Michelle Obama had to...

Forget the Seahawks versus the Broncos. There's another big showdown scheduled for Sunday, one that involves ferocious, snarling, amped-up ... and absolutely adorable four-legged furry friends. Yes, for the first time in game-day history, this year there will be both Puppy and Kitten Bowls.

My Cowpies will all be getting drunk in the topless bars, and the PuppyBowl pups picked the Donkeys to win over the Seagulls, so you know where my TV will be tuned come Sunday afternoon. Special attraction: Keyboard Cat plays the hits.

Since all our Cowpies will be on the links in Hawaii or in the topless bars, or maybe sucking up to Boss Hogg so they can sit in his suite to watch the Pack trounce the Steelers, I find it relevant to remind all that there is another Big Game on Sunday. http://animal.discovery.com/tv/puppy-bowl/

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...

The fur was flying at the yearly canine competition this year with dogged defense, puppy penalties and fido first downs. Straight from local shelters, this year's puppy players were filled with hustling hounds and tackling terriers that all vied for the title of MVP! One little pup stood out above the rest, Jake the Chug (that's 1/2 Chihuahua, 1/2 pug). Not only did Jake win the Bissell MVP award, but he also took first place in our online Viewer's Choice poll!

Heh. I don't know what Donald Trump was thinking with that two-hour "Celebrity Apprentice" episode on 1/31/08 but what a waste of time.
