Puppy Bowl Ruffaree Dan Schachner has the best job in the world, and he knows it

The 18th edition of Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl airs this Sunday at 2 p.m. ET.

The 18th edition of Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl airs this Sunday, so we took the opportunity to chat with the man who has the honor of corralling all the puppies. Officially dubbed the “Ruffaree”, Schachner has the greatest job in the world, objectively speaking, as he is responsible for regulating the play of the cutest, cuddliest puppies each and every year.

We talked to Schachner and his trusty pal, Yogi, via Zoom as they hung out in his New York apartment. Topics ranged from how they pick the puppies to some of the penalties he’s had to call to how important it is to represent puppies with special needs and those from breeds with bad reputations.

Quicken Loans CMO Casey Hurbis talks ‘perfect partnership’ with actor Jason Momoa in newest Rocket Mortgage campaign

Rocket Mortgage will have a busy Super Bowl Sunday. Not only will the Detroit-based lending company partner with the NFL for the largest Super Bowl Squares contest ever—with millions in prizes!—but the company will also feature the new campaign “Get Comfortable” in an ad starring Jason Momoa.

Check out the the teasers below.

 

Quicken Loans CMO, Casey Hurbis, gave some insight into how the concept came together.

“We started looking at different ideas over the summer, and one particular concept quickly rose to the top,” he told USA Today’s Ad Meter.

And with that concept, there was one person who came to mind—the Aquaman himself!

“It was with Jason—this whole concept of ‘getting comfortable at home.’ And when he saw the idea, the feedback we got was ‘oh my god, I’ve got to do this!'”

The perfect match—the largest mortgage lender in America and one of the largest stars in Hollywood, coming together on the biggest stage.

Momoa, who jumped at the opportunity to collaborate creatively, is excited for the world to see the spot:

“People are going to be blown away by the Super Bowl commercial. The creative was awesome, and we all worked together to make it hysterical. I got to poke fun at myself a bit, as did my wife, and we had a blast. The spot made us laugh, and it’s going to make America laugh too. I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks.”

It’s a mutual feeling for Casey Hurbis, who added:

“Having the power of Jason and (Quicken Loan’s) brands together, just knowing the high level of content we did, we knew that having him doing his first commercial ever, we’d be able to build a lot of momentum around that,” said Hurbis. “And we’re excited to bring not only the spot in the Super Bowl, but the campaign to life.”

When Will Super Bowl LIV Be Played?

Super Bowl Sunday is on February 2nd, 2020.

What Time is Kickoff?

Super Bowl 54 will kickoff at 6:30 PM ET on FOX. Programming before the game can be seen on NFL Network. 

How Can I Watch Without Cable?

You can live stream it free on fuboTV with a 7-day trial. fuboTV requires no contracts, and is available on every mobile and connected TV device such as Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV. 

Who is performing at kickoff and halftime?

The national anthem will be sung by Demi Lovato and this year’s halftime show in Miami will include two Latin musical icons with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez co-headlining the concert.

How did the 49ers get here?

The 49ers are playing in the Super Bowl for the seventh time in franchise history after a bye and wins against the Vikings and Packers. If the 49ers win, they’ll improve to 6-1 in the Super Bowl.  Playing the Packers in the NFC Championship, the 49ers were in complete control the entire game. The team outscored Green Bay 27-0 in the first half, finishing the game with a 37-20 win. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has designed the most diverse and effective run game in the NFL. That was on full display with running back Raheem Mostert running for 220 yards and four touchdowns. 

How did the Chiefs get here?

After a first round bye and a win against the Texans, the Chiefs once again took care of business against the Titans. After falling behind early in the AFC Championship, Kansas City’s offense, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was near unstoppable in a 34-25 win. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s reputation for designing the best passing game in the NFL was quite obvious. Mahomes went 23-for-35 with 294 yards and three touchdowns, along with running for 53 yards on eight carries.
