Morning Wrap: Seattle Seahawk Makes Detour Before Start of Game

((ht: foxsports.com))

Ooops...sometimes wild animals don't always stick to the script...

Which is exactly what happened Sunday afternoon before the New York Giants/Seattle Seahawks game in Seattle.

Taima the Auger Hawk gets paraded around the field before the game and is considered one of the teams mascots.

Which is fine...except Taima decided to go off script. And visit---or land on the head of a surprised Seahawks fan.

Jaguars Apologize For Mascot's Dumb Ebola Sign

((ht: sbnation.com))

Why?

We get that sports mascots are supposed to be funny and entertain, but every once in a while they do something they probably shouldn't.

Which is exactly what the genius behind "Jaxson DeVille", which aside from having one of the lamest mascot names of all-time, doesn't excuse what he did.

For some inexplicable reason, he was seen on the sideline of Sunday's Jagaurs/Steelers game holding a sign that said "Towels Carry Ebola"..

There are precious few people who may have thought that funny. Yet it appeared anyway.

For their part, the Jaguars issued an apology with team president Mark Lamping mentioning the Jaguars had no idea the sign happened until it happened. Lamping also added some form of discipline will be doled out to the employee who plays the DeVille role.

We aren't going to sit here and play political correctness here and say this was totally offensive to all. It wasn't.

But it WAS in poor taste, not funny and just a bad idea in general and also lays credence to the thought maybe mascots should think a little bit before they do something.

Just sayin

Hey, look!!!

The Dodgers broke this new guy out during the NLCS last night...


Tremendous timing... great marketing...
Just think of the merchandising opportunities...

Oh, wait...

It wasn't endorsed... the guy inside the bear suit got arrested and booted from Dodger Stadium...

The HQ doesn't know if this is a work or not- considering, according to #Fan590 FOSG Jim Lang (@JimLang590), two jackwagons ran onto the field during the game at SkyDome between the Blue Jays and Red Sox...

But... pratfalls are always funny...
Just ask the Jays mascot, Ace...

APB: One Racing Italian Sausage Missing in Milwaukee

((ht: jsonline.com))

Milwaukee Police are on a heightened state of alert after reports that one of the town's most beloved mascots has gone missing after an alleged night of barhopping.

No, there is no truth to the rumors he was found cut to pieces in a bowl of cooked peppers and no, he wasn't found inserted in a giant roll, slathered with onions either.

It appears, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, someone stole the Giant Sausage costume, used as a part of the "Sausage Races" at Milwaukee Brewers games. During the off-season it seems you can rent the costume from a local costume shop.

We are reasonably certain that unlike the recent hullabaloo surrounding the Giant Teddy Roosevelt head who broke his winless streak at Washington Nationals game, this is not a publicity stunt by the Brewers. Though in a way, it would be highly applaudable if it were.

It is kind of amusing to think of what the APB for such a thing would actually be: "Attention all cars--be on the look out for a missing person. Age unkown, wearing what appears to be a giant Italian Sausage costume. Be advised, the Sausage is known for having sprinters speed, please exercise care if found".....

The headline is the only explanation we could think of since there's apparently no context for this.

Check out this somewhat strange, techno-music produced video of an inflatable University of Nebraska mascot break dancing and other things in an arena surrounded by other mascots.

It's either a dream sequence or someone is doing to much ecstasy. It's the only explanation that makes any sense.
