Hi everyone, Listicles sports columnist and freelance mascot Onesie here, writing this edition of Sporty Saturdays from Phoenix where I’m working as an understudy for the Suns Gorilla mascot during NBA All-Star Weekend. If he gets injured or collapses from exhaustion (an unfortunately common risk in the mascotting business), you may see your faithful columnist [...]

At roughly the half-way point of the NBA season, Kobe Bryant just made his candidacy for league MVP a little more convincing and I, Listicles mascot and sports columnist Onesie, am totally on board. Bryant, following in the footsteps of the most recent Godzilla remake, completely gutted Madison Square Garden and its lowly New York [...]

Onesie here, back for another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. I’ll be honest, it’s been tough keeping up with all my writing assignments amid the recent rush of major pro sports events. There were the NHL and NBA All-Star Games, now Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. With all the freelance mascotting [...]

Listicles sports columnist Onesie here, back with a basketball-centric edition of Sporty Saturdays. In three weeks the 2009 NBA All-Star Game will be upon us, and as per usual I haven’t been hired as an extra mascot. I wouldn’t normally mind so much – though I apply every year they’ve only hired me once, then [...]

Onesie here with another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column, Sporty Saturdays. Since it’s a quiet time for my other gigs like freelance mascot work (most leagues are in their off-seasons right now) and sports writing (most publications are cutting back on freelance sports coverage), I’ve had lots of time lately to catch up on [...]

Onesie here, back with another edition of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. I recently realized that although there has been ample year-end list coverage in these pages over the last couple of weeks, the ubiquitous sports-themed “best of 2008″ has been absent.
Though I’m especially busy around this time of year with freelance mascot gigs [...]

Freelance mascot and sports writer Onesie here, back for 2009’s first edition of Listicles’ sports column Sporty Saturdays. As 2008 reminded us, an entire year’s most lasting memories tend to be crammed into its last quarter (elections, financial crises, shoe-throwing incidents). Meanwhile, the summer Olympics in Beijing already seem light years away, but took [...]

This is Listicles sports columnist Onesie, stuck at the office while everyone else is on ski trips with friends and family, back with another edition of Sporty Saturdays.
While I don’t miss the skiing (as a freelance mascot I specialize in team sports), I have often volunteered as a first aid person on the slopes in [...]

Onesie here, freelance mascot and sports writer, back again with another cool and fresh installment of Listicles’ weekly sports column Sporty Saturdays. While researching a new number based on whale sounds that I’ll be showcasing for a team I freelance mascot for, I came across some truly incredible curling footage I felt I should share.
Seasonally [...]

Back with another edition of Sporty Saturdays, this is Listicles columnist Onesie, freelance mascot and sports writer. Some time ago we featured a story on basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal’s progress with Twitter, which, if you’ve been following, has only gotten more entertaining (Shaq on Punisher: War Zone: “Just saw punisher, great bloody movie, aggggggh, dats [...]
