A sideline collision between that CB and the mascot could be quite the challenge for the announcers.

Reminds me of Springy, Springfield's official mascot for the Olympics.

After all the calls they got in Super Bowl two years ago, the Seahawks wanted to rename them the Stealers.

This has to be like Christmas in August for Seattle (and Cleveland, Foxboro, Indy, Baltimore, Dallas, Denver, ....)

I thought Steely McBeam was a porn star.

PS...very clever on the Roddy McDowell bit.

I guarantee Cowher wouldn't have let this crap happen while he was coaching.

OK, look again at that promotional photo. Every person in the frame is looking studiously away from the mascot atrocity...except for the guy directly behind him who, unable to avert his eyes, has clamped them shut.

though in all fairness, big ole pat patriot is no slouch in the creepy department either....

They also need to be careful in the promo photos to picture him from the waist up in case Steely gets a woody.

Diet Pepsi. Out the nose. Damn you.
