The Phillie Phanatic Takes A Foul Ball To The Face
The giant fuzzy sex fiend got a ball just under the snout (proboscis?) at a minor league game last night. He (or the human inside) went to the emergency room, and was treated for a contusion and released. He won't miss any time, and will return to the usual boring mascot hazard of being pummeled i...
Watch As The Phillie Phanatic Tries To Get A Fan To Flash The Crowd
According to MLB video from today's Phillies/Marlins game, this image comes from when the "Phanatic dances with a fan." According to tipster Zach K, "the Philly Phanatic attempts to convince this girl to flash the crowd, and when she doesn't, he forcibly shoves his snout down her throat."...

This week in North Dakota, where all news is news, the state legislature passed a law mandating that "the intercollegiate athletic teams sponsored by the [U]niversity of North Dakota shall be known as the [U]niversity of North Dakota fighting Sioux."

Sad Pitino. Sad Bird.
Rick Pitino's Cardinals became the first, but certainly not the last high seed to bow out early. There's justice in an unlikable coach falling to an obscure-therefore-likable team, and there's a joke somewhere in Pitino getting bounced by a team called Morehead State. Maybe you can find one....
Sluggerrr Sued For Ol' Hot-Dog-In-The-Eye Trick

The IOC Was This Close To Owning Santa Claus
Saturday, the Russian Olympic Committee announced the results of voting for the 2014 Olympic mascots. (They picked a snowboarding snow leopard, and a fluffy bunny and cheerful bear. They're boring.)

Vanderbilt Mascot Punches Vanderbilt Fan, Bloodying His Nose
Vandy's mascot "Mr. C" went after one of his own fans before yesterday's loss to Tennessee.

Mascot Fighting Fan Is Fake, Still Funny

Boston's Pro Lacrosse Team President Apologizes For Inexplicable Halftime Lap Dance Contest

Omaha Royals Change Team Name To Storm Chasers; Ensure Lameness With Promo Video
In what could prove to be the year's second-worst re-branding effort, the Omaha Royals announced today that they will now be known as the Storm Chasers. The promotional video almost makes it all pathetically endearing, but mostly it's just pathetic....
