YESSSSSS! It is the second best day of the year! The best day of the year, of course, is the day of the actual Puppy Bowl, but the second best day of the year is the day the starting line-up is announced! Oh look at all of these wonderful athletes. I’ve got a feeling that when these guys take the field, they will be ready to play. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m rooting for all of them to WIN MY HEART! (Obviously, I’ve got my eye on only one competitor for Most Valuable Puppy. Sorry, other puppies. You played a good game, but it just wasn’t your year. Hit the showers, or the groomers, or the sink, or whatever.) Thanks for the tip, Catherine!

Yours is good too, though.

Attention everyone: sheepadoodles.

<—-he's right there see?
I CAN’T DEAL.
I had no idea what I started. But I will never be sorry I did.
This was exactly my reaction. I feel a great weight has been lifted.
Hey! You guys stuck on the Paltrow thread!! PUPPIES OVER HERE!!!

Mah Puppy, for your viewing delight.
darn, obviously :
You live with that little thing? How do you get anything done?!? I would just stare at it, all day.
Yeah-uh! My oxytocin levels just went WAY up!
Let us not forget, KITTY HALFTIME SHOW !!!!!!
D’oh! Sorry teacherman, late to the party! Please defer any upvotes for KITTY HALFTIME SHOW to its rightful owner (see below!)
C’mon Gabe. Everybody knows that one only watches the Puppy Bowl for the spectacular Kitty Halftime Show.
Actually, the rabbit cheerleaders are the best.
Exactly what I was thinking! But realistically, I will watch and love both.
I bet none of these mutts have twitter accounts. Bitches.
Umm, Birdie does.
YES YES YESSSSSS
More like PUPskirt, amirite?
I’m glad to see some puppies after all that pussy.
(Lowest voted comment! Lowest voted comment!)
They’re no better at exiting limousines.
That dog looks like Rahm Emanuel.
One important difference, this dog is clearly able to experience and express human emotion.
YES YES YESSSSSS
How embarrassing!

I bet none of these mutts have twitter accounts. Bitches.
Damn. I just threw a tomato in my own face.
Wow, the competition looks ruff this year.
I’m so glad DVR was invented so I can paws it when I need to go get a snack.
I loved the Puppy Bowl ever since Arnold Rothstein fixed the first one in 1919. #videogumfather
“This is a nice kennel here,” said Mr. Wolfsheim. “But I like across the street better!”
“What place is that?” I asked
“The Petropole.”
“The old Petropole,” brooded Mr. Wolfsheim gloomily. “Filled with the faces of the runaway and adopted. Filled with man’s best friends gone now forever. I can’t forget so long as I live the night they adopted Rosy Poopsenthal there. Rosy had eaten a lot of treats and drunk a lot of water all evening. When they opened the next morning, some employee came up to him with a funny look and says somebody wants to speak with him. ‘Woof woof,’ says Rosy, and begins to get up but I said ‘SIT!’”
“‘Let those bastards come in here if they want you, Rosy, but don’t you, so help me, move outside this room.’”
“But he turned to the door and says, ‘BARK! Don’t let that guy take my squeaker!’ Then he went out on the sidewalk and they put him in a crate in their car and drove away.
His nostrils turned to me in an interested way. “I understand you’re looking for a Puppy Bowl gonnection.”
The juxtaposition of these two remarks was startling. Gatsby answered for me:
“Oh, no,” he exclaimed, “this isn’t the man.”
“No?” Mr. Wolfsheim seemed disappointed. “I beg your pardon. I had a wrong man.”
Due to security concerns, the location will be kept a secret.
“Go Birdie4Benji or go home.” -The poster I’m planning to bring to this year’s Puppy Bowl.
My fantasy puppy team is totally going to kick ass this year.
Birdie, you are the Rudy of my heart. Get out there and show them bitches and sons of a bitches…
For those of you who haven’t noticed, Gabe posts on a regular daily schedule, at times ending with :15, :30, :45, or :00. The timestamp on THIS one, however, is 3:12, which means that it was BREAKING NEWS enough to go off-schedule. Which is exactly the way Puppy Bowl news SHOULD be treated.
I know. I usually arrange my lunch and bathroom breaks around this schedule.
As do I! My Life is Videogum, you guys!
I sent in the tip, and now I am insanely proud that it was cool enough to be breaking news. I am the dorkest.
I am horrified by the fact that I’ve been reading videogum obsessively for years and have literally never noticed this.
I’m worried about the controversy regarding those ads for Purina with the gay weimeraners.
What about Tim Tebowwow tackling his Mommy to raise awareness of unborn puppies?
BNPG #puppyfootballplayers
D’Brickashaw Furryguson
Plaxico Furrygess?
Julius Puppers
Brian Furlacher
Jeff Beagles
Randy Paws, Golden Receiver
Tom Barkdy
Charles Woofson
Danny Woofhead
OK, I just want everyone to know that I spent all last night trying to think of a name. I really need to find a hobby.
Growlbert Haynesworth
Weimeraner? More like WIENER-RAMMER! hahah
I’m all about Little Red. He’s the cutest, therefore he has my vote for MVP (Most Valuable Puppy)
I’m also on Team Little Red. She looks proud and noble, but not so proud or noble that she wouldn’t want to get her paws dirty.
TEAM LITTLE RED!
If you check out the animal planet bios, apparently Big Red likes “The Golden Girls”. Interesting.

This lineup might change. Some bitch is saying that Booda sexually assaulted her in a bathroom stall, and Chih was reportedly running a him fighting ring.
“Him fighting ring” made me laugh so hard.
I miss the days before the Puppy Bowl got so mainstream, what with the Black Eyed Poodles playing the halftime show, and all the ads for Iams
How do I convert all the bowls in my house into puppy bowls? Wanna have a puppy bowl of cereal in the morning and just in general have more puppies per capita everywhere.
I’ve always said that I want to start a puppy farm with all the breeds of the world. All the pups could run free and people could come play with them. Like a Puppy Petting Zoo. My husband is not down with this idea. BOO, HUSBAND!
Birdie fans will rise up against you.
This was meant as a reply to KajusX.
Dually Noted. Also- BRING IT ONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
Booda looks like Paul Giamatti.
I would like to watch a Paul Giamatti bowl with a Tilda Swinton half time show
Oliver’s a solid player, but I’ll never forgive him for that human fighting scandal.
can we start a gwen paltrow’s vagina OR athlete puppies post? cause that would be a good thing to share.
I’m glad they got some scraggly looking puppies this year. They’re going to be the cutest in the water bowl cam!
I have literally been preparing for the Puppy Bowl since the last Puppy Bowl. I’m waiting for that puppy to come along that will replace Schroeder as the MVP of my heart.
Right now? It’s a toss up between Oliver, Little Red, and Lindy this year. I mean, Little Red looks like a precious moments dog figurine made flesh.
My money is on molly, louise, or the jacks. We all know black dogs are better athletes.
I love all of the puppies!
Aw man, the best part about Gabe announcing last years line-up was his amazing captions after each picture…
Oh well, I’ll just look at the new line-up and read the old captions, I’m sure they’re still hilarious/adorable.
Holy crap, Birdie’s going to be in the Puppy Bowl?! I’m weirdly excited about this! It’s like finding out your neighbor’s friend’s sister’s cousin is Gary Sinise or something.
We can make it happen, people! #birdie4puppybowl
I feel like the biggest idiot right now. I didn’t look closely at the pic and thought it was real. What is it, quarter-to-one? Time for a nap.
I upvoted you for your genuine excitement and complete lack of awareness. It is so rare these days.
Story of my life…This comment describes me to a “T.”
My Final Four is Little Red, Jessie, Mae, and Birdie, with Birdie obviously taking it in a landslide.
What about Chih? I like Chih.
I don’t know, I think Calvin looks scrappy!
Puppy Bowl hasn’t been the same since that Basset Hound slipped and revealed six of her nipples at the half-time show a few years ago.
Is Rip Torn going to bet on it again this year?!
Too soon.
These puppies have the same names as all my neighbors’ kids. Even the couple who named their twins “Jack” and “Other Jack.”

If Little Red wants a long Puppy Bowl career, he needs to stop texting me pictures of his junk….
“Petexting”?
Just when you think nothing is right with the world….. God bless you Puppy Bowl!
I’m worried about Maddie you guys, because Maddie is also worried about Maddie. Just look at her:

She’s clearly a 17 year old dog that took a wrong turn in the studio.
My puppy thinks this thread is totally sniff-ass.
My favorite puppy is all the puppies! …especially Max.
I’m looking through these again as a break from Boehner’s stupid stinkface during state of the union. Obama voice + puppy pictures = much, much better.
