Puppy Bowl 2015: Live coverage, photos and GIFs

Puppy Bowl XII is in the books, and your MVP is Star, the adorable chow chow/labrador mix!

Star was elected via fan voting on Twitter, but it was more than deserving. Her performance was highlighted by what the Puppy Bowl announcers claim is the first double touchdown in Puppy Bowl history. The very good girl scored a touchdown on one end of the field, then ran with the same ball to score another touchdown at the other end of the field.

Earlier this week, I published my fantasy Puppy Bowl picks. Today, I have to hang my head in shame. My Fantasy Puppy Bowl picks were terrible.

This is what I wrote about Falcor, the clumber spaniel pup:

IT’S PUPPY BOWL TIME. Let’s go to the GIFs. Cara taught the haters a lesson by pulling off a sick spin move for the game’s first touchdown:

Look at this ball control ... or, ya know, fuzzy squeaky thing control:

It’s Super Bowl week, but more importantly it’s Puppy Bowl week. We’re mere days away from the big matchup between Team Ruff and Team Fluff.

In retrospect, I can’t believe my oversight. I’ve spent most of the past 350 days in the film room analyzing these puppies -- a tall and unnecessary order, considering they’re all under four months old. And I’m confident these picks will get you to the fantasy Puppy Bowl playoffs in your fantasy Puppy Bowl league.

DeflateGate, Marshawn Lynch and the media, Richard Sherman’s strong words for the NFL -- these are all scandals manufactured to distract you from the real scandal, which is that the Puppy Bowl is a sham. The NFL’s foremost canine competition is an ill-conceived, rigged event, and its blatant corruptness is a slap in the face to:

That’s just a few kinds of people who have been ROBBED by this mockery of organized sport. Don’t believe me that the Puppy Bowl is an abject sham? Well, I can prove to you that the Puppy Bowl ref is an unabashed game fixer who is very likely on the take.
