He seems to be holding a giant banana wrapped in a large pair of underpants. Is that supposed to be sexual? TeddyR

It is a banana, but wrapped in a that season's shirt. Our fans have those banana's because between 1986-1988 we had a player called Imre Varadi. The fans used to chant his name, with it eventually morphing into Imre "Banana". I don't know why, but it stuck and 22 years later we still have those damn bananas.... TeddyR

Speaking of mascots, the Olympic ones really sucked.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_mascots


I love the mascots for the Winter Olympics in Turin. There's something so distinctly Italian about a snowball and an ice cube. No? Well, it certainly reflects the spirit of athletic excellence. Not that either? Maybe the spirit of the games themselves, ice and snow, square and round, living and playing together in harmony. Yeah, that's the ticket. Lookingup

I mean, how lame is that? It's like somebody just pulled the idea out of their ass at the last minute.

"Hey Giuseppe, boss says you're fired if we don't have a mascot by the end of the day."

"Mama mia! OK Luigi! Mascot's almost done! Let's see....winter....ice and snow.... how do I make characters out of that..... Ah, screw it. Give 'em a snowball and an ice cube for heads, scribble a quick body and stick dopey grins on 'em. Magnifico!"

Nah, don't worry dude I'm with you on that.  If anyone has to cherish their 15 minutes of fame its the athletes in most of the events.  The big thing for me lately is I'm really against stupid sh*t becomming considered sports.

Are you suggesting Beach Volleyball isn't a sport in its own right? And I suppose you don't believe frisbee golf should be recognized either. TeddyR

Yeah, I think a few of the recent additions to the recognized Olympic sports have somewhat cheapened the games. Personally, I think the Olympics should stick with the traditional Olympic sports, and not throw in every leisure activity somebody feels compelled to formalize. And I don't think professionals should be allowed to compete.

But, in truth, the games don't mean a whole lot to me. The winter games are in Canada this year, and everybody's very excited about it, but I doubt I'll go out of my way to watch it, except maybe to show my daughter some of the stuff they do. She's kind of excited about it. Really, of all the sporting events, I don't mind the Olympics that much. I'm not bombarded with it for six months out of every year, and the athletes are for the most part young amateurs who worked hard to be there and play for the love of their sport. Very few get any lasting fame or fortune out of it. It's probably one of the few times millions of people watch athletes who have real jobs outside the sport they play. I learned that lesson in Grade 7, when we had a real Olympian from the 76 Games visit our class. He was a dentist who also wrestled. I always keep that in mind, that these kids aren't pros. Of course, I still don't find the games interesting to watch.

I hate the Olympics.

Agreed.  I think liking the Olympics is against the grain.  I admire the athletes and I'm happy they get to compete, and the nations of the world holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" is sweet, but I'd rather get a tooth pulled than watch a half-hour of the Olympics.

But I will say this, us Philadelphians are not big, green, fat things with big noses... 


Dunno about that.  I used to see quite a few people meeting that description wandering around South Street on weekends in the 1980s...
Maybe SOuth Street's changed in the past 25 years or so... Wink

Well, not too much.  We are big and fat...not so much green.

I know a couple people who have problems with the Olympics.  I don't have any real problem with them except the sports I want to watch are aired usually at 3.am Wednsday on ESPN 7.5.

One thing I hate the most about the Olympics is Bob Costas.  He blathers on forever spouting out random facts (sadly most about death and destruction) about people's home countries. I swear he's one of those guys that worships that sound of his own voice.
