Bowls are everywhere this weekend, and not all of them are super.

Hours before the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks clash in Super Bowl XL, a group of wannabe gridiron greats employed at local technology firms and brick-and-mortar businesses will meet on a Herndon field in the seventh Capital Cyber Bowl.

Need more bowls so soon after the conclusion of college football's Bowl Championship Series?

• Lingerie Bowl III is available tomorrow on pay-per-view and again will give a peek at scantily-clad ladies tossing the pigskin around.

• Puppy Bowl II will air tomorrow at 3 p.m. on cable's "Animal Planet." The three-hour program, which includes a kitty halftime show where the furry felines will play a mock game, will be repeated throughout the evening.

• Cooking queen Paula Deen is hosting a Supper Bowl marathon on the Food Network from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Along with episodes of her series "Paula's Home Cooking," the fest includes repeats of her specials "All-Star Kitchen Makeover" and "Paula Goes to Hollywood," plus a special edition of "Behind the Bash."

• Bud Bowl 2006 comprises two nights of parties in Detroit sponsored by Budweiser and Bud Light.

The Cyber Bowl will benefit the Touchdown Club Charities of Washington, D.C., and will be broadcast live online by TV Worldwide.com Inc., said the Chantilly company's chief executive officer, Dave Gardy, who also plays wide receiver for the Web Warriors.

"Seven years ago, we started a webcast of the game and it got a lot of hits and now has a cult following," said Mr. Gardy, 47, adding that the players' age range is 23 to 50. "We get these old guys playing, and it's developed into a real rivalry. This year is the rubber match, so there's been a lot of trash talking."

The Web Warriors won the first Cyber Bowl in 2000, and the 2002 and 2005 contests. The Bricks and Mortar squad took the title in 2001, 2003 and 2004.
