Everyone’s gearing up for the big game this Sunday, where players go head to head in an epic battle. No, not the Super Bowl. This highly anticipated game is Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl IX. Brian Williams went behind the scenes at the taping of the Puppy Bowl, where he experienced all the cuteness first hand. On a mini-stadium, the puppies romp while a referee stands by to call out penalties like “ruffing the passer” and “illegal retriever downfield.”  

All of the 63 puppies are brought in from shelters and rescues around the country and end up being adopted.

    That pup wanted Brian to be his father. Brain, you should take him home with you. Could never have a better friend.

      I used to like Brian Williams, that is until he started showing his Liberals bias when reporting the news.
