Week In Review: Donny Dog is back! Soccer club relents after naughty lingerie shoot
Jun 10, 2011, 7:08 PM EDT
Donny Dog is back … thanks to you. Yes, it was readers such as yourself who put the pressure on British soccer club Doncaster Rovers to reinstate Tracy Chandler, who has occupied the mascot costume of Donny Dog for the past four years. Chandler had been ruthlessly sacked by the Rovers earlier this week, the club telling her that she had “disgraced” them due to a raunchy lingerie photo shoot she did for a men’s magazine. Chandler had posed beside the mascot costume in the photos.
But earlier today, justice prevailed.
The mascot of Doncaster Rovers Football Club who posed in a racy photo-shoot will be reinstated as Doncaster Rovers mascot Donny Dog, according to club chairman John Ryan.
He said on talkSPORT: “Donny Dog is very popular with youngsters and we didn’t like the association with Sport and children seeing that paper. I think some people thought it was inappropriate and I think it was in a way, but I’ve seen the pictures and I think she looks very nice.
“I would only laugh about it. I’m hoping that common sense will prevail. She will get her job back.”
Today I raise my mug and toast her Kibbles ‘n Naughty Bits. Please join me.
But there were other stories this week. Let’s review:
- Colts cheerleaders bikini photo shoot features driftwood, assorted floating debris.
- To save time, let’s just speculate that Ryan Gigg’s sister-in-law slept with Manchester United’s entire all-time roster.
- FIFA Council of Wisdom, assemble!
- Another day, another case of assault with a dead weasel.
- Kim Kardashian cheated on Kris Humphries with Bret Lockett of the Patriots. Or so they tell me.
- One of Anthony Weiner’s weiner babes has a brother who played for the Indians.
- Pippa Middleton ran in a triathlon, and someone took pictures.
- Hold the pickle hold the lettuce zip your pants lest you upset us.
- NBA Finals leads to saddest police mugshot ever.
That’s it for this week, when if we learned anything it’s that you don’t mess with Donny Dog, or a Chandler. Thanks for reading, and for God’s sake stay out of the Ohio River unless you’ve had your shots.
