Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
I don't know much about Emory University, but I do know 3 things... Their mascot is an Eagle They don't get many fans at basketball games and... Prior mentioned Eagle mascot has never done a trampoline dunk before. Some of these guys make dunking look so easy, but it really is a science. And rule # 1 is to strap your head on … [Read more...]
Now, I assume that 90+ percent of the popluation has never and will never do a backflip, and that's OK. Same goes for the mascot nation, save a trampoline dunk or two. But this high school mascot from the Marshall Lions pulls one off flawlessly during halfrime at a recent tournament. After you watch the video below, go outside and try a … [Read more...]
Well, we've seen this before, and I am sure we'll see it again... Here are the steps to selling tickets in the NBA: Step #1: Find really tall place. Step #2: Put mascot up there. Step #3: Sell tickets? That's what the Sacramento Kings have decided to do as they have put their mascot Slamson on top of the Ikea sign to sell 1000 more … [Read more...]
Oh my, just when I think the Jacksonville Jaquars mascot has pushed the limits of what he can do (and what the NFL will allow), he goes and pushes the mascot line one step further. Before Sunday's home opener at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Jaxson took a dive from the top of the stadium lights... Don't worry, NFL films was there to catch … [Read more...]
It became a trend last basketball season to gobble up cheerleaders right and left. And really, it's a great trend and I am glad that it has transferred into the NFL. The latest mascot to be documented eating a cheerleader is none other than the Tennessee Titans mascot T-Rac. He puts down this one in one gulp... That will teach her to wear … [Read more...]
Well, Free Agency is upon us. In other words, a bunch of guys who make 7 million a year for sub-par performance shop themselves around to try and make more money. Well, Dwayne Wade is one of those guys, and he has yet to make a commitment either way. So, in a feat of desperation, Burnie, the mascot of the Miami Heat is making the entry of … [Read more...]
With help from Little Giant Ladders, The Utah Jazz Bear stepped it up one notch in his "crazy stunt" arsenal with this upper deck to floor slide. You've seen the Bear slide down the stairs at Energy Solutions Arena before, but never from this high. Awesome stunt, and an awesome mascot. Jazz Bear Upper Deck Drop video after the jump: … [Read more...]
Ok, if there is anything I love more than Heather Mitts, it would be the picture of Rocky, The Denver Nuggets mascot I have posted to my right. And thanks to loyal reader Mike, I have another awesome story about Rocky to post. It seems over the weekend, Rocky decided to run a 10K, and many fans didn't think he could do it. According to … [Read more...]
Even though he doesn't have a mask, he can still be a mascot. And, after this ridiculous dunk, he can still have a video up at YMS. Lucky pulled of this gem during a playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's a front-flip, full twist, between the legs dunk, and definitely raises the bar. Bango, eat your heart out. Lucky's Leap … [Read more...]
The screen shot above appears to come from a recent ladder dunk video featuring the Milwaukee Buck's Mascot Bango which has gotten thousands of hits since debuting earlier this week. But the reality of the screenshot is it depicts Squatch, mascot of the Seattle Supersonics doing the same dunk... OVER TWO YEARS AGO. That was back when they had … [Read more...]
