The first Sunday in February is typically reserved for the biggest sporting event of the year. The Puppy Bowl! And there’s also a little thing called the Super Bowl, but those players have less fur. Hopefully.
Puppy Bowl is an annual tradition dating back hundreds of years. Okay, sixteen years. But it has proven to be fierce competition to the other Big Game. What do we know about Puppy Bowl XVII?
Team Fluff Vs. Team Ruff
To the uninitiated, two teams of adoptable (and adorable) puppies compete against each other for the title of Puppy Bowl champs. There’s a lot of ruffhousing on the (indoor) field. But referee Dan Schachner is there to make sure things don’t get out of paw.
This year, 70 pups will be split into two teams in a ruff-and-tumble game of football. Sure, the puppies spend most of the time napping or drinking out of the camera-equipped water bowl, but it is supreme entertainment.
Tailgate the Puppy Bowl With Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart
What’s a football game without rousing commentary? Animal Planet has tapped the dynamic duo of rapper Snoop Dogg and homemaker extraordinaire Martha Stewart to co-host. Martha Stewart will serve up the pawfect tailgate snacks.
It will be a doggone affair. Their respective pet dogs will be in attendance. Martha Stewart has four dogs – two Chow Chows named Empress Qin and Emperor Han, along with two French Bulldogs, Crème Brûlée and Bête Noire.
Snoop Dogg is the dog dad to ELEVEN dogs. Billboard reports that his French Bulldogs, Juelz Broadus and Choc, will be there to root for Team Fluff or Team Ruff.
