We appreciate the Puppy Bowl too. Some people have suggested that it was a take-off on The Puppy Channel(R), which tried to get going as a cable TV network in the 90′s. Today thepuppychannel.com lets people watch puppies goofing around 24/7/365, and lets the public upload their own puppy video. Puppylovers can preserve their most adorable puppy moments and share, rate, comment and meet one another at thepuppychannel.com. Woof!

What? Nobody else here is a Rock of Love Bus fan? I think that may be on during the Super Bowl.

Last night I was watching the rerun of Sunday’s episode while I read about low-field NMR for my physical chemistry lab. I figured that doing something smart while watching that amazingly ridiculous show would somehow cancel its negative effects on my intelligence. I have to say, VH1 has THE BEST trashy reality shows. I secretly love them all.

Uh, Nicole, you do realize the whole article isn’t totally serious, right? And that the guy who wrote it writes most of the sports columns that are on the site? There are a lot of references to the players in it to make believe that the author isn’t actually anti-Super Bowl and in fact watches lots of football. Is he still reeling from high school girls? Possibly. But aren’t we all?

Nicole, you can’t really accuse them of being anti-sports if you look at todays HDYK?, which, for a non sports person like me, was incredibly difficult. I still can’t figure out the last one.

I’ll be celebrating the Super Bowl by playing Dungeons and Dragons, probably with the Puppy Bowl on in the background.

I don’t know what to watch. Probably the Manson specials and a movie on tcm (recorded at the same time on dvr)if there is a good movie on. If not I will record death wish. Call the police on me if you have to but I don’t like football.

@ Nicole–I think the article was written in a light-hearted manner, and by no means did it suggest that no mental_flossers should watch the Super Bowl. That remark about a girl in high school was a snide and small remark. I’m just thrilled that I didn’t peak in high school, personally.

You didn’t mention my favorite channel…TCM. They start their “31 Days of Oscar” this Sunday and I’ll be watching that and Puppy Bowl (especially the kitty halftime show). Anything beats over-hyped professional athletes trying to show us why they deserve their millions of dollars.

I found this interesting, is there anyway to do a follow up article in how each of these shows did? Or which shows did the best against the Super Bowl this year or any interesting facts from past years?

Also, I’ll be setting my DVR to record the two Manson Specials. I’ll watch the game and have a perfect alibi.
