WORST... MASCOT... EVER...

If I'm an Arizona tax payer, my ass is a little chapped right now.

That's because their money is going toward the worst mascot in the history of sports, Spike the Super Ball. Get it? Spike, like spiking a football - and Super Ball instead of Super Bowl.

Your eyes do not deceive you: Spike is simply a football wearing cleats and shades. That's it.

Spike is currently on a 42-stop tour to "energize residents" about Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, which host committee President Bob Sullivan compared to the Olympic Torch.

Needless to say, Bob Sullivan should be fired immediately. By the way, even the Atlanta Olympics mascot Izzy wasn't this stupid (OK, we take that back).


Run for your life!!!
