Reeling from the Upset.

First of all I would like to thank Megan for keeping the blog alive while I was dying.

But on to more important things! As you all know, yesterday was arguably the biggest sports day of the year. People all around the country huddled around big screen TVs to root for their favorites (or at least root for the failure of the other team). Money was lost and won, friends turned against friends, and advertisers shelled out more money per 30 second spot than most of us will see in a lifetime. Is it really worth all this hype? Did the game live up to all (or any) of your expectations? Megan and I are here to use our sports, marketing, and cultural expertise to analyze this oh-so-important event.

I'm talking of course about Puppy Bowl 2008.
For the first time this year Puppy Bowl was viewed in High Definition which was a treat! You could see every drool and it was spectacular.

First round draft pick from last year, Kira made her Puppy Bowl debut. It is easy to see why she was a first round draft pick, she knows the field and she is a joy to watch. It was a disappointing performance however from Rascal. I really did except better from him. His girlfriend was in the audience this year and most people are speculating it caused him to falter when the team needed him the most. As always the Bissle Kitty Half Time performance was a can’t miss! And trust me I didn’t. The amount of glitter used was unheard of and yet completely tasteful.

To no ones surprise Jackson went away with the MVP (most valuable puppy) trophy and bragging rights. And just between us I did see Jackson and Kira leave the stadium together however both reps couldn’t be reached for comment.
