Forget the Super Bowl. Animal Planet urges you to watch the Puppy Bowl! Back for its fifth year, the wildly popular Puppy Bowl features puppies tackling each other, romping around on the gridiron, and even scoring puppy touchdowns. 

Instead of Jennifer Hudson singing the national anthem, the Puppy Bowl has Pepper the 12 year-old African Grey parrot who knows how to belt it to the back of the stands. 

At half-time, Bissell brings us the Kitty Half-Time Show, which promises to be adorable, if not as rock 'n' roll as Bruce Springsteen. 

Unlike the Super Bowl, the Puppy Bowl is co-ed. Along with Moose the 12 week-old Australian Shepherd mix is Matilda the 9 week-old Beagle, who's small, but scrappy and competitive. Check out the starting line up of puppy players at Animal Planet.  

All twenty of the players in this year's Puppy Bowl were picked  from local animal shelters. They are all up for adoption, though it's been reported that all the pups have already found homes.
