If there is one silver lining from sports being canceled due to the global coronavirus pandemic, it’s a bored sports announcer finding ways to pass the time. BBC broadcaster Andrew Cotter gave us a treat by posting a video of his dogs’ epic competition over a toy.
This is the pupset of the year (h/t AV Club). Thank you, Olive and Mabel, for bringing the drama of sports back, even if it was only for a minute.

This isn’t the first time a sports broadcaster provided commentary on dogs being dogs. Fox Sports’ Joe Buck made sure to stay game-ready by asking people to send him videos of everyday things to commentate on. One highlight was ESPN personality Mina Kimes’ dog Lenny getting the Joe Buck treatment.
Here we go…first up is @minakimes and a half-eaten football. Please reply and tag with the charity that you are donating to!!! More to come! pic.twitter.com/q8BuYuutbr
