"If NFL football is too violent for your taste, the upcoming Puppy Bowl IX may be the perfect diversion while your more hardcore friends watch the Super Bowl. A piece of cuddly programing from Animal Planet, the Puppy Bowl takes place at the same time as its more famous counterpart \u2014 6 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 3. The precise rules and regulations of the canine melee are a bit unclear, but there's more info here. \nMeanwhile, we've got the impossibly adorable puppy cam embedded above to hold us over. It features the fuzzy football showdown's all-star roster of lovable pups. They're in the locker room hanging out, playing, sleeping, scurrying about, pooping and just being generally cute as all get-out while they wait for their big day. \nIt's a guaranteed good mood, in streaming video form. So check it out above and be sure to tell a friend who's having a bad day. \nThumbnail image courtesy Flickr, _jennieMarie"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
