Football Dog obliterates man with perfect form tackle

It’s becoming increasingly clear that dogs should be allowed to play professional football. We can either ignore this and pretend it isn’t a thing, or we can embrace it and realize that our four-legged friends have some skills.

We’re not talking about that football dog league Jerry Rice tried to start on the Wii, we’re talking honest-to-goodness NFL football.

The Puppy Bowl raised these canines to understand the finer rules of the game, now it’s about leveraging them. This German Shepard clearly has the skills to play linebacker, if only the league would stop keeping dogs from attaining high-paying positions in the league. Until that dream becomes a reality we’re going to be watching this on repeat all day.
