Mascot Math

This year, the Raiders rolled out a live version of their NFL Rush Zone animated character, which led to some calculations about what adds up to a mascot

Q*BERT + THE LONE RANGER + THE RIDDLER = RAIDER RUSHER

STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN √∑ TOM SEAVER + BUTTERBEAN = MR. MET

SANTA CLAUS √∑ BIG BOY + FRED DURST = LIL' RED

ROLLIE FINGERS + HULK HOGAN √ó BUGS BUNNY = BERNIE BREWER

SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE

A New York City strip club announced it will stop televising Giants games because, in the words of one dancer, watching the 0--5 team "has become too painful."
