Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle

The Saginaw Spirit, a junior hockey team in Saginaw, Michigan, recently named their team mascot Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle after Steven Colbert, host of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. Colbert pleaded with the team on his show to name the mascot after him and in September they obliged! For the record, sales are up 25% from this point last year and their website is so jammed that they had to put a message on there apologizing for the high volume of traffic. Better yet, the team is in first place right now. Maybe they are on to something here.
