Puppy Bowl II

I can't say whether or not we'll have a good match-up in the Super Bowl this year. If I was a betting man, I'd take the Steelers by a squeak. But even if game turns out to be a lame rout, there's always Puppy Bowl II on Animal Planet.

Starting at 2pm CST, Animal Planet will televise 14 adorable puppies playfully scampering about on a fake football field for three straight hours. Actually, it's a little less than that if you figure in the kitty halftime show. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get sucked into this.

You can check out this year's puppy players here. My favorite of the lot is Agatha, the two and a half-month old whippet/beagle mix pictured above. I could drown in those eyes.
