PUPPY BOWL VIII

When dozens of four-legged football players take the field this Sunday, they won't be representing New York or Boston.

Super Bowl Sunday is also Puppy Bowl Sunday. While the 2012 Puppy Bowl is played in New York, let's not forget that this gridiron tradition got its start in Bethesda!

That's right, the original Puppy Bowl stadium was in a production studio right here in Bethesda, and many bowls were played there.

Just remember that this Sunday, when your dog changes the channel to Animal Planet.

A football legacy that began in Bethesda, Maryland.
