MASCOT HYSTERIA: Cozmo vs Rockin’ Robin

Welcome to the very first match-up in what is quite possibly the world’s leading online football mascot battle – Mascot Hysteria! Every fortnight, (mascots love the Queen’s English.

Up and Atom! Reds “unveil” Giovinco

Well that was an odd little presser wasn’t it? It wasn’t the dog and pony show of the Jermain Defoe/Michael Bradley event a year ago.

While my learned colleagues here at The Vocal Minority were busy doing “research” and “serious writing” regarding Toronto FC’s dealings, I went on assignment on the sidelines. When you troll the spaces in between the picks, you find the weird and wonderful “other stuff” that happens which makes this day so “super”....
