squee!
picks & predics for puppy bowl 2010!
ATTENTION PANTS WORLD!
as you all know, the most important television sports event of the year is happening this sunday, and it’s time for us to choose our favorites and place our bets!
i’m talking, of course, about THE MOTHER-CUSSING PUPPY BOWL!!!!!!! HOLD ON TO YR SQUEES!!!!!! (at least, until after the stupid commercial):
OMGGG!! SOMEONE GIMME A POMPOM AND A PUPPY CUDDLE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
now before you make any picks, sports fans, i recommend that you spend at least several hours analyzing the starting line-up. obvs, this is serious business, so don’t be too hasty with yr decisions! (pro tip: to build a greater base of knowledge and thereby increase the accuracy of your choices, check out the puppy bowl historical highlights compiled by the onion).
as a professional puppy bowl enthusiast, i recommend utilizing the following guidelines when selecting yr star players:
- level of cuteness
- floppiness of ears
- size of head compared to body
- strategic placement of spots
- and, most importantly, SWEETNESS OF PUPPY EYES!!!!!!
after careful research and several calls to coaches, i’m excited to announce that my personal pick for MVP is… COCO!!!!
it’ll be funny to yell “TEAM COCO!” in a context that has nothing to do with late night television. but seriously, look at those eyes! that soft nose! those floppy ears! the oversized paws! coco has the makings of a PUPPYBOWL CHAMPION!!!!
as for the game in general, here are my super professional ESPN level predictions:
- average “AWWW!”s per minute = 45
- adorable puppy collisions = 89
- balls destroyed = 5
- times i really, really wish i owned a puppy = 7,498
- moments when i declare myself to be way more qualified than the ref at handling cuteness = 35
- puppy touchdowns = WHO CARES?
and now it’s yr turn, puppy pantsers! submit your picks & predics in the comments, and then get yr massive foam puppy paws ready for a SHOWDOWN OF SQUEE!

Well I have to give a shout out to Duncan, because he is a beagle and I am v. v. v. partial to beagles.
But I think my fave is Eenu-the golden retriever/rottweiler mix. He looks like he just woke up from a nap with his dog version of bed head-aka bed ear hair head.
Love puppy bowl-and the kitty halftime show.
They are all so presh, but I love Sir Winston and of course Yums! Thanks for posting this! It made my day, and I had a really good day, so to say it was tops, that means a lot!
Of course my pick is Duncan the beagle, for obvious reasons!
But I’ll also be rooting for Blaze, the Australian Shepherd mix. My main criteria are softness, cuddliness, and paw size. Can’t wait!
Chamomile all the way!
BEAR ALL THE WAY!! Actually, I REALLY, REALLY can’t decide. Why do they do these things to us?! Puppies unlike babies are really, REALLY cute all the time! (I mean, if you really are honest with yourself, you’ll admit that babies are only adorable once they hit the 7 month mark, before then, they’re red, floppy, and utterly useless…in case you’re wondering my sister has agreed to take care of my children until month seven, so don’t worry too much about my future children). Puppies’ cuteness makes me want one so HARD! And it is so feasible to imagine getting one (again, not like real babies)! I could go to the pound and get one home within a week. No gestation period required!
The puppy games are quite a melancholy event for me. I cry for overwhelming cuteness and pure sadness for not STEALING ONE OFF THE FIELD!
Sorry guys but Jake isn’t going to be in the puppy bowl BECAUSE I AM KIDNAPPING HIM IMMEDIATELY SO HE CAN BE BESTIES WITH MY PUPS AND SLEEP UNDER THE COVERS.
I’m on Team Blaze because I’m partial to ginger dogs. Obviously. OMG, this video is KILLING ME WITH SQUEE!
Hey Trish, Jake (#15 Chihuahua/Pug) is my favorite too! A pint size pit bull.
Posh’s Dad! You can come visit him after I steal him!!
oh man, the squee competition is getting FIERCE up in here!!!
dad and trish, i hope you can work out a joint custody agreement.
I’m still a bit weirded out by the fact that there’s another beagle named Duncan. Is that one a girl, too?
I loved Tater Tot. I think he played in the third quarter. Poor pup was outsized by all the other doggies and kept getting scared!
If Jake was the one that kept tearing around the field, he was also awesome.
