I kinda like him as an embodiment of Dan's crumbling regime, one of the last pathetic and yet vivid proof of how lame this organisation has been under this PoS.

But in non "Dan is probably selling the team in a few weeks/months", no, the only way I like Major Tuddy is on a BBQ.

The mascot itself isn't great. But mascots are supposed to be ridiculous. It's some dude in a costume. Shouldn't even have a mascot. And if we do, get some real hogs. So I don't think this one looks any more ridiculous than most non real mascots out there. For example, I'm a Braves fan, below is our mascot. That's no less ridiculous. But the Braves actually win, so that thing is popular as hell.



I just like the name. It cracks me up. Major Tuddy is just hilarious to me. I will be using that name quite often next year when Howell is dropping dimes to McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel.

Fair pointS. But to me if you chose a mascot supposed to honor some of your greatest and most iconic players, you can try to have it look a bit less ridiculous and meaner, even in a cartoonish way.

Something in a costume should never be used to honor anyone(s). They should have never chose a fake character altogether if that's what they were going for.

So I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I don't think you truly honor the Hogs with anyone running around in a costume.

I personally enjoy how his rank is Major a rank in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force but we are the Commanders a rank in the Navy and Coast Guard. Majors are O-4, Commanders are O-5. I know I am reading into it too much but it is subtly off.

Lol. So Admiral Tuddy if someone in the building put more than 3 minutes into the shiny object to keep our attention off of the shitshow on the field? Interesting. Hopefully Bezos scraps Tuddy along with the rest of the trash.

Now that Snyder claims to live in England, why not imagine Tuddy in the Royal Navy and name him Vice Admiral Sir D.C. "Mascot" Tuddy-Hogg, POS, WTF.

While true, there are also "Commanders" in all services...Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Brigade Commander, Regimental Commander, Division, Corps, Wing, Group, Squadron, Flight, SOUTHCOM, USAREUR...etc... Not really a "rank", but a billet.

My guess is they weren't targeting a specific service for the name - just a tribute to all in general.
