In warmer news, over 106 million Americans watched as the Indianapolis Colts fell to the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl 44 Sunday night in Miami by a score of 31-17, just beating out the 1983 finale of "M*A*S*H" as the most watched television program of all time. The Colts jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Saints, led by Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees, rallied to go on a 31-7 run to finish the game capped off by Tracy Porter’s 74-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Before the big game, dog lovers treated themselves to the Animal Planet’s sixth annual Puppy Bowl which aired Sunday at 3 pm. The game featured 20 rescued puppies playing around on a miniature football field, while bunnies cheered, hamsters filmed from an overhead blimp, and kittens took care of the halftime show.
While it was cute I guess, I could only really watch about five minutes of puppies running around tackling each other before I needed to switch the channel. The bunnies and hamsters might have gotten a cheap laugh, but the best was the halftime show. About a dozen, likely cat-nip induced kittens, trapped in a room with little fuzzy toys whizzing about while every vibrant colored spotlight imaginable was shining across the room, probably had them in a trance that would make even Hunter S. Thompson (of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) jealous.
