This past Saturday I had the honor of kicking off the Tchefuncte Middle School Walk-a-thon! Above is a picture of my mascot Al da Gator and I with TMS's mascot, Allie! Before the Walk-a-Thon I gave a 3 minute speech talking about living the "Believe in it" lifestyle and how if you combine that with hard work anything you can dream in life is possible.

Any MLS supporter who still has a club in the race for the final playoff spots knows by now how completely wacky the tie-breaker system is in the event of two or more clubs ending up even.

I assume this has been around for a year or two, but I've managed to avoid the image until today. I have to say, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Click to continue reading...

This Spanish side decided the best way to promote their club to the masses and help motivate their home support was to employ a Circus Bear as a Mascot, they were absolutely 100% correct. Watch as the bear, runs on two feet, does somersaults, gives opposing fans offensive gestures, runs with a football and plays a trumpet (Yes you read that correctly)!

Wow, that is the coolest mascot ever!!!

I am pretty damn sure that this bear will maul someone after a couple of games, but until then, amazing. Animal cruelty will probably stop it as well which is probably fair enough but I will be watching Vallodolid games just to see if he learns to kick the ball!

Despite the fact that 3 postponed matches still have to be played, the first-half of Campeonato Brasileiro is over. With 3 other clubs on the rise, the lead by Palmeiras has been overshadowed.

This is Willy.

Willy is the mascot for Colombian side Junior Tiburon. Willy likes to hump things. A lot. And, apparently, some people aren't totally on board with Willy's hyperactive pelvic assaults.

During last weekend's match between Junior and Cucuta Deportivo, Willy thoroughly violated the opposing club's shirt, which earned him a ban from performing his duties as mascot/sex educator.

Oldham Athletic's injury crisis worsened on Good Friday when 7 foot mascot Chaddy the Owl (better known as 34 year old Wayne Hurst) fell off a BMX bicycle when attempting an ill-advised wheelie prior to the League One tie with Carlisle United.
