He's the best mascot in sports!!!

But that was almost a given...I was given the honor of being kissed by the Phanatic when I was baby (something I always mention when I go to Phillies games with someone).

It's a shame the Sixers got rid of the big blue guy...I can't remember what his name was, anyone fill me in?...from what I can remember he was a blue version of the Phanatic without the snout.

The gorilla for the Phoenix Suns deserved some love. He throws down some pretty sick dunks.

I love that the Jazz are down 81-58 at half-time and are watching Big Shot do his thing. Seriously... bring back the old uniforms (they looked good last night) and bring back our old mascot.

I miss the Spectrum. Maybe it's because teams that played there were generally much better than those that have played in the Wachovia..

Don't know about that, but he had his own reality show. It was called "The Littlest Groom". He had to choose between midgits and regular sized women.
