t-and-f: Fox's Man vs. Beast

Don't know if anyone else caught this or not, but Fox is apparently working on a Man vs. Beast reality show. Here's a blurb from the CNN article: -- In addition to the midgets vs. elephant battle -- in which the two teams will compete to see who can pull a DC-10 across a desert field

RE: t-and-f: The best non-Olympian and a new category

How about Pete Pfitzinger in the marathon? One of the best quotes I ever heard was before the '92 trials race. The funny thing is I can't remember if I heard it or read it, but nevertheless, the pundit in question was talking (writing) about the favorites and added, If I were one of the

t-and-f: re: Fox's Man vs. Beast

Fox also did a bit on Race Walking this past Sunday night on Malcolm in the Middle. It was well done, rather funny and tastefully done - something NBC can't manage to pull off. Featured in the episode were US Team members Curt Clausen, Philip Dunn, Sean Albert Susan Armenta. An interesting

t-and-f: Mascot

To back Jill up on this one, they have the right idea on the Mascot, no matter how sick it turns your stomach. While attending a college basketball game last night, the school's Mascot entered the stands. One large section was devoted to a local CYO girls team that played during halftime.

Re: t-and-f: Mascot

You left out one important detail: Was the mascot you saw last night anywhere near as hideous as the one USATF was given? If not, then I beg to differ with, If they really were able to get it for free, its even better, as there will only be a gain financially from it. That overlooks the

I replied in private to Steve, but I see his response was also addressed to the list, so I will repeat my question to him. Should I be familiar with the Philly Phanatic? I'm guessing baseball? At any rate, my point still stands about first having to show that mascots (any mascot, let alone a

The Mascot has an equal stupidity look, but kids don't know the difference, so the point is moot. Mascots attract kids, there is no debating this, anything to the contrary is pointless banter. Whether the children are spectators or contestants (we're not talking Millrose here, but JO meets

Re: t-and-f: re: Mascot
