    I only just figured this out: People who watch Animal Planet's "Puppy Bowl" would rather see dogs play football than humans.

        @neiltyson Why did it take you so long to figure this out? Puppies are so much nicer than people. Cuter, too!

        @neiltyson and then there's the Fish Bowl on Nat Geo (exactly what you think it is), or the Kitten Bowl on Hallmark.

        @neiltyson NatGeo has the aquatic equivalent of the 'Yule Log' in a 4 hour broadcast of a fishbowl. What does *that* say?

        @neiltyson To be fair, the puppy bowl is probably less one-sided.
