PonyBoy Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I have a great mascot story. Many years ago I did PR work for a business. We had a mascot event at a local minor league baseball teams stadium. We had the crime dog rapel down a rope from a helicopter, Yogi bear, the crash test dummies guys and more. I was escorting the crash test dummies down the concourse to the field when about 8 little kids came screaming and running at the crash test dummies. Thinking they were excited to meet them, but one of the little bastards runs right up and kicks the one dead square in the package! The dummy went down hard, writhing in pain on the ground! All the little kids were laughing and pointing at him. We helped him get to his feet and fortunately there was a locker room close by and we got him in there. He throws off his helmet and is dropping F bombs & how he's going to kill that little MF'er! 😂 I still get tears even typing this, he was so pissed! I guess this is a thing after talking with the other mascots that kids do stuff like this to them. Crazy scene. Every time I see those crash test dummies I think of this story 😀 14 1 Quote

BillsPride12 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 The Buffalo News did a story about the guys that were behind the Buffalo mascot a couple years ago. The costume still hangs above a bar in Alden or something like that 1 3 Quote

hondo in seattle Posted February 19 Posted February 19 This was the first and only home game I've ever been to. I was more interested in OJ than the rest of the team. But OJ got hurt and our chances looked dim against a Raiders team that was undefeated on MNF. Seemed pointless to keep watching. And then it wasn't. 2 Quote

Game was blacked out in WNY, we had to listen to Al Meltzer, Rick Azar, and Ed Rutkowski call the game on the radio (it was that short period when Van Miller wasn't doing the games). Blanda misses what today would be considered a chip shot 50 yard FG at the end. 2 1 Quote

I've been to away games in Miami, San Francisco, and Kansas City... but no home games since OJ. Yeah, way past due. Told the wife we're going to see games in the new stadium. Quote
