The 2014 NFL season, is the 95th season in the history of the
National Football League (NFL)!! It begins TONIGHT with the annual kickoff game featuring the defending Super Bowl Champions
Seattle Seahawks hosting the Green Bay Packers. (Mom is an avid Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions fan, she and Dad have season tickets to the Lions! So we don't care about Seattle or Green Bay, but we know our furiend Mario is a HUGE Green Bay fan! So we send he and his family a huge meow-out!)

HALLMARK CHANNEL
ANNOUNCES THE CREATION
OF THE FIRST-EVER
‘FELINE FOOTBALL LEAGUE’
FEATURING THE WORLD’S MOST ADORABLE
AND ADOPTABLE KITTENS
COMPETING TO PLAY IN HISTORY’S
BIGGEST
FELINE SHOWDOWN
‘KITTEN BOWL II’
Hallmark Channel proudly announces the inauguration of the first-ever Feline Football League (FFL), featuring the world’s most adorable, playful and adoptable kittens. The kittens will participate in season games for the chance to claw their way to the end zone in the 2nd annual classic, “Kitten Bowl II,” premiering Su-purr Bowl Sunday 2015. Which is Feb. 1, 2015!!!!! Super Bowl XLIX will take place at
University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., home to the Arizona
Cardinals.
Beginning this November, an FFL Scouting Combine will search for the most competitive, adorable and adoptable feline players before holding an exciting kitten draft. Once the draft has been announced, kittens will be placed into teams of their own colors, logos and mascots where viewers can follow regular season game highlights across Hallmark Channel’s digital and social networks — all leading up to the broadcast of the championship of feline football, “Kitten Bowl II.”
The FFL brings adorable—and adoptable!—kittens together with celebrities and personalities from all facets of the entertainment world as the kittens compete on obstacle courses filled with lures such as yarn balls, lasers and toys on string. “Kitten Bowl II” is part of Hallmark Channel’s corporate initiative “Pet Project,” a movement dedicated to celebrating pets and the incredible joy they bring to our lives. The FFL and “Kitten Bowl II” will significantly raise awareness of the plight of shelter animals across the country as Hallmark Channel once again partners with North Shore Animal League America, who will provide the feline competitors with forever loving homes once the games conclude.
“Kitten Bowl II” will be executive produced by JD Roth, Todd Nelson, Adam Kaloustian, Brant Pinvidic and Jesse Drollette of Eyeworks USA (previously 3 Ball Productions) whose credits include “The Biggest Loser” (NBC), “Extreme Weight Loss” (ABC) and “My Cat From Hell” (Animal Planet), among others.

ReplyDeleteGot that right..."squeeee!"
DeleteWe're all about NASCAR here but we can't wait for the Kitten Bowl!!!

Alas we don't do football but have a tremendous Thursday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh, is it time for the kitten bowl again? Time flies by so quickly.

How neat! Never heard of this, thank you for sharing it. We like football but kitten football sounds even better.
ReplyDeleteOMG...wonder if we could send them some "recruits" from the bathroom. MOL We follow the Kitten Bowl on facebook so hope to see updates there :)
ReplyDeletelol!!! You will! I mentioned above that they WILL have updates on the adoptables that will be featured throughout the entire football season, well before the actual Kitten Bowl. They will start recruiting kittens in November.
DeleteGolly, Caren...I've lost my taste for the NFL, beginning with the Michael Vick arrest. I am glad the Hallmark Channel is putting kittens on TV; that is certainly a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSoccer is in Europe what football is in the USA. Mum is absolutely not into soccer, and tried once or twice to watch football but didn't understand anything at all. She prefers from far the Kitten Bowl, that is much more cute, thrilling, and have no complicated rules, so go go kittens ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteHow cool!!!! Sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
We just put the Kitten Bowl on our calendar so we don't forget! Thanks for the heads up, Cody!
ReplyDeleteyou are welcome my furiends! If you are on Facebook, watch for updates on the kitten selection process!
DeleteOh we are so ready!
ReplyDeleteWe live in Wisconsin and of course are Packers fans, so the green shirt is great for us!
ReplyDeleteWe love, love, love it!!!
ReplyDelete/we did enjoy the Kitten Bowl last year, and expected it to return. It is a long wait; however. Go SeaHawks!
ReplyDeleteCody this is such great news! There are so many lovable kittens who need homes I will be helping to purrmote this fur-sure. Thanks so much for the great paws up to remind us. I will have Dad add this to our calendar. Dad is a big 49ers fan even though we keep telling him Joe and Jerry no longer play (Old man brain I guess)
ReplyDeleteLets go Steelers!
Thanks so much Timmy!!! In November they start "recruiting" the kittens and people can follow on Facebook! Thanks so much! OMG Mom used to LOVE Joe Montana (I think all women did!) Mom is a Browns fan and a Lions fan! Also, Mom used to live in Pittsburgh when she was a little girl so she likes the Steelers too (as long as they aren't playing the Browns!) Love, Cody
DeleteThanks for that info....we have to get Mom to DVR it :)
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
So cool! We love it!! :-D xx Roxy & Tigerlino <3
ReplyDeleteWe loved watching the Kitten Bowl. We're glad they're doing it again!
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad they're doing the Kitten Bowl again, 'cause it is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteone word from Mommy: BEARS!
ReplyDeleteHow great that they are doing it again this year!
ReplyDeleteLove that football shirt and pic with you Cody! My Human used to have season tickets for the CFL when she lived in Vancouver but we have never been to a NFL game and would love to someday...the energy and excitement of American football is off the charts!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! OMG you should come to Detroit some time for a game!!!
DeleteThat is so neat!!! What a great idea! Thanks for telling us about it, Cody! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes for winning. Sadly, they lost and really have a lot of work to do. It's easy to see why Seattle is the champions - they played that way during the game with the Pack too. Sorry we've been missing lately, M's back is a real problem, so she lays down frequently during the day and only sits in her office chair for short periods of time.
