Pat gets cussed out

By now you're probably familiar with this Bart Scott outburst following the Jets' defeat of the Patriots. What you probably don't know is that, just before the interview, Scott was smack-talking Pat Patriot. According to NBC Sports:


“I was actually over there cussing out the [New England Patriots] mascot, the one with the big chin,” Scott explained Wednesday. He recalled “YEAH! Go home and drink some Sam Adams” was among the things he said — when a Jets’ media relations man caught up to Scott and asked, “Can you do a TV interview?”

“Sure,” Scott replied.

Lasorda takes exception with Phannatic's smack talk

Captain Blade demonstrates commendable solidarity

From this BBC article:

Sheffield United mascot Captain Blade has waded in to support his Preston counterpart, Deepdale Duck.

The pirate held up a sign saying Free the Preston One during the Blades' game with Doncaster on Monday in protest at the duck's weekend 'dismissal'.

North End's mascot was led away by Deepdale stewards after claims he put off Derby goalkeeper Stephen Bywater.

Captain Blade made his feelings clear at half-time in the South Yorkshire derby, which finished 2-2.

The protest made headlines around the world and USA Today reported: "Captain Blade wasn't prepared to see his rival forced to walk the plank by the second-tier club."

The pirate is sure to get a warm welcome when the Blades visit Deepdale for their Championship fixture in April, with Preston confirming they would not be taking any action against their mascot.

A spokesman said: "We're still not quite sure why Deepdale Duck was escorted off but he'll be back."

Preston's next home game is on Saturday, when they play host to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

It is not clear whether Forest's mascot, Robin Hood, will be making the journey north but after his recent brush with authority, the Deepdale Duck will be hoping the Sheriff of Nottingham does not put in an appearance.

Deepdale's out and about

Last weekend, Preston North End's inimitable mascot got in trouble for joshing about with an opposing goalie. Here is a (admittedly not fantastic) video of Deepdale promoting a PNE match around town:
