Bowl-ed over with cuteness
No, it hasn't been the fluffiest of times lately. You could probably use a pick me up, or at least a boop on the nose right about now. Good news: you're barking up the right tree! Here, we reveal the starting line-ups for this year's Puppy Bowl, which delights with feats of canine athleticism on the gridiron while raising awareness for pet adoption. Brimming with 118 dogs from 67 shelters across the country, Puppy Bowl XVIII will debut on Discovery+ and Animal Planet on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 13) at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. The three-hour event includes the Kitty Halftime Show, while Sesame Street legend Elmo and his puppy, Tango, oversee the coin toss and cheer on one of the players, Wasabi, during the game. Ruff-eree Dan Schachner is back for the 11th time, while Steve Levy and Taylor Rooks return for play-by-play coverage. Plus, 23 Puppy Bowl NFTs will be released. But enough human words for now. Let's introduce 105 players from Team Ruff and Team Ruff, with the latter squad hoping to reclaim the Lombarky Trophy and even the series record. (The remaining 13 canines will make their debut on game day and are available for same-day option. Spoiler alert: they're all... super cute.
