Today in mascots

Faithful* readers of the Blob have long known that its affinity for mascot-related mayhem is paramount. And so we bring you this from the Pro Bowl yesterday, which will likely be the highlight of the event better known as the Try Not To Get Hurt And Mess Up Your Next Contract Extension Bowl.

(*Editor's note: The readers of the Blob object to this characterization. They say the word "faithful" should be replaced with "accidentally-clicking-on readers of the Blob." Whatever.)

Anyway ... yes, that is Jets DB Jamal Adams taking down the New England Patriots' mascot, Pat the Patriot (or Minuteman Merle or Doofus Revere or whatever else you want to the call him.) Then he joked that he'd laid such a hit on Pat/Merle/Doofus that the poor guy had to go to the mascot hospital. This turned out not to be true; apparently mascots at the Pro Bowl never get hit hard enough to get hurt, either.

In any case, it was the best takedown of a mascot since the Oregon Duck beat the crap out of the Houston Cougar. So, you know, kudos.
