Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
If you've been around here before, you know my love for the media and their mascot reports doesn't run too deep. I don't mind the occasional news story, or random shot of the mascot at a game, but when a "reporter" decides it is a good idea to put his or herself inside the suit... that's where I draw the line. This piece from KDLT in South … [Read more...]
In this commercial, Mr. Met tries his hand at designing a brochure for his fvorite team... the New York Mets. What he comes up with is quite messy, and makes the executives very uncomfortable when they don't know what to say. Best quote: I only said that other stuff because I didn't want you to get a big head. Mr. Met - Brochure … [Read more...]
Well, another season of hoping for a good Olympic mascot is over... Maybe 2016 will be good to us. The organizing committee for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games has released their shortlist of mascots for voting. And, other than not really being a "short" list, it includes some familiar and not so familiar faces. First of all, there is … [Read more...]
If you look closely at the picture, you can see Miles, the Denver Broncos Mascot. Special thanks to Mark Ramelb for taking the photo, check out some of his other pictures from the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl weekend here. (Think less players, more cheerleaders.) P.S. I'm moving to Hawaii. … [Read more...]
Well, if the USC school of Communication doesn't do a report on it, it doesn't exists, so thankfully, they took on a very hot topic in their latest video series called "Impact". That's right, they featured mascots. Now besides the dead pan narrator, the story is actually quite good, and goes into some of the unwritten rules of mascots, like … [Read more...]
We saw last year that mascots can do some crazy things at the NFL Pro Bowl game. But where else can a huge furry horse make out with an unassuming cheerleader? Blue from the Indianapolis Colts tests his "game" with one of the cheerleaders from the Denver Broncos. He doesn't get far, unless you count the full make out session near the end … [Read more...]
Running Down The Line... The costume always smiles... You live a double life... Hero to zero in the change of a tie. Okay, so I am not sure if I got all the lyrics correct, but this new release by popular British band Amortiste is one of the few songs I have heard that accurately represents the life of a mascot. (It's one of the few about … [Read more...]
Let's play a little game called what happens next... Well, you can watch the videos for the answer, or read on... The answer is, the guy accidentally dunks himself through the hoop. Now, the guy is Nick Corales, and he is part of the Phoenix Suns dunk team called the Verve Sol Patrol. I really believe that this was accidental... you can … [Read more...]
That's the Pittsburgh Steelers 1 - Green Bay Packers 0 I mean seriously, could you get a more lame sideline at Superbowl XLV? Neither team has cheerleaders, and only one of the two teams has a mascot. It almost makes me look forward to the Pro Bowl (which I do so anyway because Jaxson De Ville is freakin' hilarious) … [Read more...]
In a recent basketball game between the Santa Barbara High School Dons and the San Marcos High School Royals, mascot shenanigans were at their best. SPOILER ALERT: watch the video first... Someone from Santa Barbara got their hands on the Royals mascot suit. The "San Marcos mascot" then made a triumphant entrance as the crowd went … [Read more...]
