Fly, Eagles, Fly!!!

Philadelphia is known for its cheese steaks, but PETA has named the Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field the top NFL Vegetarian Friendly stadium.

This is the THIRD year in a row the Linc has taken home the top honor, but the food (or the team!) isn't the only green thing about the stadium.

It may have been a nail-biter of a Super Bowl this year for both Pats AND Giants fans, but to be fair, so was Animal Planet's 8th annual Puppy Bowl!

Thankfully, for all of our furry little love-muffins, Puppy Bowl referee Dan Schachner explains:

"The rules are a little looser than your regular NFL game."

But that doesn't mean there weren't any exciting plays!

And by plays, we mean adorable puppies playing with each other and some very chew-worthy toys!

Ch-ch-check out some HIGHlights from the big game (above) and some more - including our new favorite and MVP, Aberdeen the Australian Shepherd mix…AFTER THE JUMP!

This is sad! Why can't celebs keep their dogs in line???

Four dogs reportedly belonging to NFL star Joey Porter attacked and killed a neighbor's dog on July 2, leading to a citation for Porter.

An animal control spokeswoman said the Arizona Cardinals player was obviously upset about the attack and apologized to his neighbor.

The citation for failing to have the dog on a leash will likely result in a fine for Porter.

It wasn't clear how Porter's dogs got out of their kennel. A spokeswoman said Porter's dogs are large and appear to be half mastiff and half pit bull.
