Titans Mascot Runs Cart Into Saints QB: Well that one way to get rid of the other sides players. Have your mascot run 'em over with a golf cart. It does seem that sometimes the mascots get in the way a bit too much. "Honest Ref, I wasn't trying to put him out for the season! Besides if he was a good QB he'd be better at scrambling out of the way!"

The only really good thing about him is his agility and speed.... but apparently he wasnt as fast as I thought.

Can the Saints cut him if he's injured, or would they have to place him on non-football related injury list. Or, is it a non-football related injury? It seems pretty football related to me! I smell a lawsuit! On the plus side, I see no mention of anyone spitting on anyone in the article.

A friend of mine's seven year old son was killed by a golf cart at a baseball game. Unless its for an emergence reasons carts should not be driven in crowds.

Since I heard about the incident, I began to wonder about a team's liability should one of its employees cause injury to a visiting player. What would happen if David Ortiz were to suffer a broken leg after being hit by the annoying Tampa Bay mascot and his vehicle? Would Boston have a case to claim a player from Tampa Bay (not that htere's anyone there they'd want)? Golf carts are the curse of humanity, especially on the golf course. When I played a lot, I was, on average, about 30 minutes to an hour faster for 18 when walking than with a cart. A bit off topic, I have nearly been run down, both in Florida and in Arizona, by white-haired retirees trying to make it on time to the Senior Special at the local Red Lobster. Also, it's always a barrel of laughs racing from one end of Atlanta airport to the other with ten minutes before my connecting flight leaves, carrying a laptop and my carry-on, while trying to dodge the oncoming golf carts that insist they have the right of way.

Yeah, what the hell does a mascot need to be at a preseason game anyhow?

Hey, mascots need their reps, just like all the other members of the team. They gotta get ready for the regular season.

The Saints have a Quarterback? I'll have to see it to believe it. Meanwhile I thought the Titan's used caddies.

For 2 years I drove ambulance for Rural-Metro fire in Sun City AZ about 12 years ago (mid-life crisis sort of thing) and one of our calls was for a guy who rolled his golf cart down the side of an embankment. Broke his neck. Not much we could do for him, but whenever we had a code 3 one of our biggest hassles was watching out for the damn things. They were everywhere.

Adrian "I-got-ran-out-of-FSU-and-went-to-the-AFL" McPherson.. he just needs to stop being a punch line.

Professional sports franchices do not need to employ or allow 'mascots' to be part of the game, before, during or after actual competition.

I know lots of Cowboys fans that would like to slap that goofy grin offa Rowdy's face...

McPherson is 4th on the depth charts and will most likely be cut. This is probably the closest he will come to taking a real hit!
