About
Destructoid's Features Editor. Chad loves the Super Nintendo, pinball, Pixar, and dolphins. His dream is to one day be taken to the undersea kingdom of the dolphins and made their new king. Since that may not happen right away, he bides his time writing features for Destructoid and managing all of the original content that is posted to the site.

He absolutely adores Destructoid and the incredible community that goes along with it. The site has truly changed his life for the better.

If you are reading this, you will be spared when the dolphins take over the world. I give you my word.

IT'S PUPPY BOWL WEEKEND!

Chad Concelmo
11:55 AM on 01.30.2009



It’s finally here: the best weekend of the year. This Sunday, during the (stupid) Super Bowl, is the 5th annual Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet!

Some of you may not know this, but I have a lifelong goal to have the Puppy Bowl get higher ratings than the actual Super Bowl. It’s a lofty goal, sure, but I will be able to die happy once it happens. Help me reach my dream by watching the BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION this weekend!

Like I said, it’s on during the Super Bowl on Animal Planet. You can click here to get all the details.

God, I am so excited about this year’s event. Not only is the Kitten Half-Time Show making a grand return, this weekend’s Puppy Bowl V marks the premiere of Pepper the Parrot singing the National Anthem.

For anyone that hasn’t seen the Puppy Bowl (for shame!), it really is the greatest thing of all time. You kind of have to see it to appreciate its splendor, but let me just give you a few bullet points of what to expect:

-Water Bowl Cam – The producers put a camera in the water bowl to get shots of cute puppies drinking water when they’re not on the field.

-Kitten Half-Time Show – As mentioned earlier, during half-time a huge pink stage rolls out -- as well as a disco ball and accompanying techno music -- with a ton of kittens playing with toys. Amazing.

-Puppy Bowl Referee (a.k.a. my dream job) – Not only does he wear an official outfit, the Puppy Bowl referee makes real foul calls as the game commences. Examples: “Rough housing!” when the pups get a little rambunctious and “Number Two on the field!” for when ... well, that is pretty self-explanatory.

I have a feeling this is going to be the best year yet.

Things could change, but here are my early picks for MVP (most valuable puppy) of the starting lineup:

Charlie Brown



Charlie Brown is a 9-week-old Doberman mix. His one blue and one brown eye might be the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Eli



Um, seriously. Look at Eli. Amazing.

Griffey



Griffey is a 10-week-old Labrador Retriever mix and reminds me a lot of my dog Luna. OMG TOO MUCH CUTE!

Mac



Mac looks really scrappy and I think that could take him far in the competition.

What do you think? Are you unbelievably excited about this like I am? If not, what is it like not having a heart? Which pup in the starting lineup is your favorite?

Check my community blog on Monday for a recap of some of my favorite moments. Nope, I'm not kidding. :)

Oh, and next year I am determined to be hired as the referee.

OH MY GOD I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS!



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

Chad... how are you so awesome? I'm going to watch this just for you.
Pyroph
I'm in.
MrSadistic
Ah man look at Eli. That is my pick for MVP right there.
Dimly
I watched some of this once, as I'm not a crazed football fan and completely absorbed by the game.

I really enjoyed the animals.. but I recall the commentary being cringe-inducing.
ZombiePlatypus
Damn it, I just cancelled my cable last week... Are you throwing a Puppy Bowl party?
Tubatic
Griffey looks too cockey for his own good.

Charlie Brown is all over this. No Contest.
AngelsDontBurn
FUCKIN' PUPPY BOWL! FUCK YEAH!
Jonathan Ross
Charlie Brown should be renamed David Bowie.
Brian Szabelski
Puppy Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowl!
Senisan
You should totally stickam this bitch, pardon my french :)
Haxan
Because of you, I watched this last year...

...and enjoyed every last second of it. I'm getting the keg. Who's bringing the Doritos?
welkstar
My vote is with Mac, Issac, and Candy Apple.
falinter
I can set up two tvs side by side and have Super and Puppy bowl playing at once and have my left head phone bud have Super Bowl and my right head phone bud have Puppy Bowl.

I can compromise!
Corak
I'm too mad that the lingere bowl isn't going to happen.
Char Aznable
Charlie Brown's blue eye is peering into the darkest depths of my soul.
SnakeDude4Life
Hell to the yeah.

I've been watching puppy bowl since the first one.

My chihuahua could care less.
Knivy
SOMEBODY STICKCAM IT OR SOMETHING SO I CAN SEE IT!!

Please? :)
vexed alex
Too...cute...must resist...
ZekeThePlumber
Eli has the eyes of a madman (or perhaps maddog)!
grafkhun
Charlie Brown looks kind of... demonic with the different colored eyes. Also, since I don't have cable and I never watch TV, TV = screen where the game shows up, I'll have to skip the Puppy Bowl.
mid3vol
am totally voting for mac. it wont be the same without your ref skillz!
ZServ
im so fucking pumped.
Jesse Cortez
I second the stickam notion! I'd so watch this if I could watch it on stickam :D
Jesus H Christ
Charlie Brown is the IRL version of Hypnotoad.

Also, Chad, you are my favorite person ever.

Artemus
I've noticed this because of you, Chad...
