Puppy Bowl VIII preps: Game day analysis for fans and fantasy players

Football’s biggest event of the year is almost upon us. Puppy Bowl VIII airs this Sunday at 3 p.m. ET/PT on Animal Planet. Saying this year’s bowl is going to be huge would be an understatement after last year’s incredible final seconds.

Of course, the kitty halftime show is back with twenty of the country’s top kitten cheerleaders taking the stage. The Piggy Pep Squad will make their debut along with Meep the bird who will be live tweeting all the action. Plus, most importantly, the nation’s top puppy athletes will be vying for the championship in Animal Planet Stadium.

As for getting the ball to the end zone, that’s hardly the point.

Streaming Video is purportedly here, but you can’t trust Google.

Even Pravda (or is it Isvestia?  There is no news in truth and no truth in news.) has finally gotten hip.  ESPN too from whom we learn the Bissell Kitty Halftime Show has been little more than an afterthought up until now.

Of course for Phineas and Ferb fans there is only one canonical chronicle of Meap–
