Mascots who hate pitch invaders and take matters into their own hands
Here the Colts' mascot Blue puts a brutal hit on a Pats' fan:
Burnley's Bertie the Bee showed a similar desire to apply rule of law to all transgressors; be sure to appreciate his superb rendition of 'the worm' as he celebrates:

Oregon Duck in rap rap
The Oregon Duck is in hot water yet again, this time because he has appeared in a rap video about Oregon's upcoming Rosebowl bid:
Apparently, his suspension won't prevent him from appearing. Mascot Hijinks isn't quite sure what the AP report is referring to when it says: "That doesn't mean Donald won't be on the sideline for the Civil War against Oregon State. There are three other students who don the Donald duds." Have Oregon discovered cloning?

National Mascot of the Year
Some top quality competition in this genuinely world-class event.
That's Butch T. Cougar, who seems to have recovered from an earlier beating at the hands of the Oregon Duck.

Goldy Gopher is Merciless
In yesterday's post you saw Goldy Gopher exhibiting questionable sportsmanship by high-stepping around a group of football-playing children. Today, you see him stiff-arming another group of youths.
When doing further research for this post, Mascot Hijinks found Goldy Gopher's Wikipedia page defamed by who we presume to be fans of Wisconsin. See below for a screenshot taken at 8:45 CT on Nov. 23, 2009:

Mascots lock horns with kids in classic gridiron
This match-up features some superb plays, including:
- A great tackle in the backfield by the Denver Bronco
- A brilliant end around by the Golden Gopher, rounded off with some graceless high-stepping
- Some awesome stiff-arming at the end by an unidentified mascot (Ed. Note - It appears said "unidentified mascot" is actually Crunch from the Timberwolves)

Teddy Roosevelt and the Presidents' race
Teddy NEVER wins the presidents' race at the Nationals' games - it's some kind of unwritten rule. On this occasion, inspired by the visit of the Dodgers, Teddy tries to do a Manny (high-five a crowd member mid-play) but it all goes horribly wrong thereafter:
And here, after a scorching start, he gets sidetracked beating up the Orioles bird:
With the mounting pain of losing, he cheats, but Screech is having none of it, and he makes his disgust known:
And here again Screech has no choice but to disqualify Teddy, who hired a henchman to 'take out' the opposition:
