Who's pumped for PUPPY BOWL XIII?
Rolling Stone

The Super Bowl, or as I like to call it, the football season finale, is coming up this weekend. It's supposed to be a really important episode or something.

Football, yes..... the one where they run back and forth in between all those hilarious commercials.

Of course, that's what SOME people prefer to watch. To each their own, right?

What the real sports fans will be watching is the famous Puppy Bowl XIII

Puppy Bowl is just about the greatest sporting event in history. Here's how it works:

Puppy Bowl has been live on Animal Planet at the same time as the Super Bowl for the last twelve years. But only for the last two did they decide that maybe there should be a team system.

So, we have Team Ruff, donning green bandannas with yellow crossbones. These pooches have held the championship title for the last two years. They always have an amazing drafting, getting puppies from 10-22 weeks old from shelters across the nation.

Then we have Team Fluff, wearing yellow bandannas with a green paw print. These feisty lil puppers always play their hardest with a strong sense of pack mentality, always bitter rivals with Team Ruff. You can view the starting lineup for each team here.

The rules are simple: the pups are put onto a 20 x 10" arena with a variety of dog toys. If a toy gets into the end zone, TOUCHDOWN! Any toy from any pup in any end field counts as a point. The pupper that single-pawedly scores the most points becomes that year's MVP (Most Valuable Puppy).

But its not just puppies getting the spotlight! There's also a kitty half time show, and bunny/guinea pig/chicken cheerleaders! Pepper, a famed parrot, sings the National Anthem to kick off the game.

This event is treated every inch a sport, including a pregame show that features expert opinions on top MVP, highlights from previous years, play of the day, team rosters, field analysis, instant replay, field report, and much more. There's even a referee on the field to announce touchdowns and take out any pups that violate a rule, like no biting or peeing.

It's important to know that all the animals featured in the show are available for adoption. The game is meant to encourage adoption from local shelters and rescues, and the fame of Puppy Bowl Champion would bring a lot of attention to the orphaned animals.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
