Mr. Met has constantly been trailing the San Antonio Spurs' Coyote in the
Mascot Hall Of Fame voting.
Who is this Coyote?
Well, I decided to look into it a little further to see if maybe I could find some kind of weakness he may have.
- Named Mascot of the Year by gameops.com in 2006
- Was signed by the Spurs as a Flea Agent in June of 1983
During the 2003-04 season appeared in 50 games - with 50 starts - averaging 29.9 guffaws and 11.8 chuckles per contest
- Was named the NBA's MVV (Most Valuable Varmint) for the twelfth time in his career
- Registered a career-high 1118 hugs vs. the Lakers on 12/17/97
- The only mascot in the NBA who growls at "The Mailman" every time he is in town
- Makes over 400 community appearances each year, averaging 19.8 rib-tickles per visit
- During the 1993-94 season became the first mascot in NBA history to dunk both a basketball and a doughnut in a single game
- Full name is ENTERTAINUS CARNIVOROUS
- Single, but is considering Animal
Husbandry
- Graduated from ACME University with hors d'oeuvres
- Favorite food is Roadrunner under glass, but admits a weakness for Fried San Diego Chicken
-
Recently was cast in the lead role in the movie Lord of the Rings, but
eventually lost the part to Elijah Wood after it was discovered that
The Coyote had no ring finger
- Seen talking with the Disney people about "THE COYOTE KING 2 1/2"
- Would love to have Lassie over "for lunch" someday
- Favorite musical group is
Los Lobos
- Spends his free time watching the Fox Network
- Admits living in "Bexar" County scares him.
He is about a third of the price of Mr. Met to
rent, but I think kids would be scared of him. For more info on Mr. Met, see the left sidebar of this blog. In the Coyote's defense, there's no way the top-heavy Mr. Met would be able to manage a unicycle.
You have until September 6th to vote for Mr. Met, the best mascot ever, at
