The bizarre mascots of the 1995 Pro Bowl
Something very strange happened at the 1995 Pro Bowl, and I'm not talking about the most lopsided Pro Bowl quarterback matchup of all time (Troy Aikman, Brett Favre , Warren Moon and Steve Young for the NFC against Jeff Blake, Steve Bono, Jim Harbaugh and Dan Marino for the AFC). There ...

Mr. Irrelevant — You may not know this, or care one bit, but the Pro Bowl is today. The only reason I’m aware of it are Clinton Portis’ exploits. Well, that and the Skins emailing me about Pro Bowl jerseys (only $99.99!). MJD has also made a series of posts on Shutdown Corner, including his plan for improving the exhibition and a look back at the bizarre mascots from the ‘95 Pro Bowl. The latter is of special interest here, where months ago we shared a forgotten Skins mascot of unknown origin. We’d never seen it, ...

WHO IS THIS GUY?!?!?!
Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies - Pittsburgh Sports Videos, Humor and Crack Analysis. And Ridiculously Small Horses — [image] MJD does the Lord's work, and had this posted on Friday . I was too busy bowing to my own greatness and ridiculing Mike Tomlin to squeeze this in. But now seems about right. This guy is apparently a Steelers mascot from the 1995 Pro Bowl. We all shat on Steely McBeam when he was introduced in the offseason of '07, but little did we know that the Steelers were all about mascots back in '95! And I'm not talking about The Terrible Fan or Stevie Steeler . From MJD: This appears to be Steely McBeam's long lost cousin, Aluminum ...

The Pro Bowl Pick (No, Seriously)
fivetooltool.blogspot.com 2/6/2009 — For the first time in 30 years, ticket sales at the Pro Bowl are lagging to the point that the game is in danger of being blacked out locally in Honolulu.
