Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
Oh boy, two soccer posts in the same day.. what has my life come to. Well, in this case, I couldn't pass it up. The popular show, Soccer AM has a feature they call 3rd Eye where they show some outtakes or second camera angle shots of soccer matches. In this case, it's Clarence the Dragon from Northampton Town who retrieves a ball and tries to … [Read more...]
Above is Alessandra Ambrosio at the FIBA World Basketball Championships in Turkey. Below, we have Chanel Iman hanging out with the West Virginia Mountaineers mascot... If you don't recognize them, I put pictures of them hard at work after the jump... (the models, not the mascots) … [Read more...]
If there's two things Koreans love, it would be their mascots, and their soccer cheerleaders. Well buckle up becauste this clip seems to have both, and it looks like they mesh together perfectly. There's not much to say about the clip other than the commentary from the girl watching... My favorite line... "There's kids watching!" Mascot … [Read more...]
If you're living under a rock, you haven't heard about this great thing that they do over in England. They take a few dozen mascots and race them down a 200 meter race course with a bunch of hurdles in the way. It's so big, Dominos Pizza is even a corporate sponsor... And oh yeah, they bet on it too... like horse races. This year there … [Read more...]
There are a lot of traveling mascot acts out there… from your Chickens to your Zooperstars. But not many have the claim of being a two man mascot act. That’s exactly what “Stax” the stunt footy mascot is. Apparently, letting the dogs out takes more than one person. The video says it all. I just wonder if they flip a coin to see who … [Read more...]
The mascot pictured above is none other than the 2010 World Cup Mascot Zakumi. When the World Cup starts today, you'll be seeing a lot of this guy around the TV and around the blogosphere. If you can't tell what he is, it's a green haired spotted... wait, not even I know what he is. Also, for future reference, make sure to steer clear of … [Read more...]
I don't know what the obsession in SouthEast Asia is with choreographed mascot dances, but here's another one. Supposedly Old Master Q and Big Potato are popular Manga/Anime/Nerdgasm characters and they like to make public dancing appearances. Ifthere were ever two mascots that didn't look like they should be popping and/or locking... it … [Read more...]
I don't know if this is an official mascot or a crazed fan, but either way I think it has gotten out of hand. This Rafael Nadal mascot was seen wandering the streets in Spain while the real Nadal was probably somewhere beating Roger Federer. Let's not get too crazy guys. Tennis players already have big heads, they don't need to be big AND … [Read more...]
You know, it is rare that we take a drunk fan, and actually give him recognition for being an idiot. But in this case, I'll make an exception... This basketball game in Greece has all the atmosphere of one of those third world soccer games where the bleachers burst into flames. Everything seems to be going well until an unruly (normal) Greek … [Read more...]
Is there a more dangerous job than being a soccer mascot? A few weeks ago, we had a video of a mascot getting his head ripped off by one of his own players, and now we have two more videos of footballer on mascot crime. Can't we all just get along? In the two videos below, one features a pair of opposing players ganging up on an innocent … [Read more...]
