T minus 2 days

In 2 days, it is going to happen. Just 2 days.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're thinking -- "But The Knuttel, what about your boycott of the nfl? How are you going to watch the superbowl if you have a nfl boycott?"

It's really quite simple. I'm not watching the superbowl. "But what else is Sunday?"

Puppy Bowl

It really is the greatest single television event of the year.

In fact, I did it last year, when I didn't even have an nfl boycott going on. I simply did not want to watch a game in which the possibility was guaranteed that either new york or new england would win.

It is true I wanted to see the smug smile of smugness wiped off tom brady's face, but this would result in a giants victory, and I just couldn't have that either.

So I watched the puppy bowl instead.

It's practically superior in every way.

-nfl -- huge enhanced genetically modified ogres smashing eachother helmet to helmet (both of these teams are quite notorious for cheap shots courtesy of the secondary. That hit on McGahee that put him in the hospital, saw a clip of it, totally illegal).
-puppy bowl -- cute adorable puppies tumbling over eachother for chew toys.

-nfl -- Jennifer Hudson extending the national anthem to 5 minutes while putting sections out of key for "effect"
-puppy bowl -- the anthem to be sung perfectly in pitch by a parrot

-nfl -- old floppy flabby pale streakers, if any
-puppy bowl -- hairless puppy streaker

-nfl -- awful puns about football that we've heard a million times and get old quick
-puppy bowl -- awesome puns about puppies that we've heard a million times and NEVER get old

-nfl -- huge self pat on the back, courtesy of the nfl, for doing such an awesome job
- puppy bowl -- putting homeless puppies in homes. aka actually doing an awesome job

-nfl -- self-aggrandizing commentary courtesy of chris collinsworth -- who will somehow insult the eagles entire history, even though they are not playing in the game
-puppy bowl -- commentary done by Harry Kalas (Harry the K), aka the greatest announcer ever.

the choice is really quite simple. Puppy Bowl.

-- Knuttel

P.S.
If anyone should watch anything with the words "super bowl" in it, they should watch the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Super Bowl". I'd post a youtube clip, but alas, the only clip containing just something from that episode is horribly chopped up by a stoned teenager that just figured out how to use windows moviemaker (or the mac equivalent (imovie?) if applicable).
fuggit. here it is, but dont make me say I didn't warn you

This episode perhaps may be most known for the introduction of the character, Boxy Brown. That character would continue to get some of the greatest one liners ever.
