-- just you know he's saving his energy right now for the big game.

He's adorable now this is tough job that you happen because -- is often uncontrollable.

And I noted to be able to throw flags for penalties like excessive cuteness how does one make that decision.

Well it you know usually excessive cuteness.

Yeah -- applies to more than one dogs have two dogs are doing something super cute that's gonna distract everyone and actually stop the game that's when I got from my flag.

But -- right puppies are naturally Q so.

I mean I just be throwing them all day long now we also heard some special things that you're going to have including hedgehog cheerleaders and look there it is right there we thought.

And also the blimp is -- and powered by hamsters and it's -- really beyond just the -- -- I mean this is you know all animal species many of.

And now being put it.

He had a hit because you -- right because we have had jobs we have kittens we have meet the tweeting bird that's a -- this going to be in the stands between -- the action during game day.

The great thing is it all these -- all 63 of them that you see are available for adoption draw from shelters and rescue centers across America.

I was out at a freak deal really being in the middle that's gonna know that it -- -- a lot of effort to get down it actually had the end none of that has happened you can't help them.

On how do you tackle this job.

How to -- -- goes up sometimes literally sometimes you gotta get down there and actually move these puppies from one area to the other.

You know you can't be too strict -- penalties but you do have to enforce.

The rules.

There are many rules but we just need to chew toy to be dragged into the end zone by a puppy and if that happens that counts the touchdown and we need to make to the public stay safe.

And that they don't relieve themselves too often on the field it's actually quite a challenge.

That is I've been a side benefit of their cuteness right -- have a great time we know there were nine million people it's tunes and -- last year we wish you even more this year it's always a lot of fun and we know not an easy task although probably a very fun -- -- thanks for the previous.

Thanks thanks for having us I and that.
