Just Bring The Phanatic Across The Street. He's Off For The Winter

As a Philadelphia 76ers fan stretching back to the early 1970s, I can only shake my head sadly at the three finalists for new Sixers mascot, Big Ben (who, apparently, is a Sixers fan despite his having died well before the team moved in from Syracuse in 1963), B. Franklin Dogg (basically McGruff in a Sixers jersey, or Poochie from "The Simpsons"), and the entirely inexplicable Phil E. Moose, a... moose. Because, you know, Philadelphia is known for moose. I don't even remember a moose at the Philadelphia Zoo. Philadelphia DOES have deer, and rats, and squirrels, but moose, well, no. Can I vote "none of the above"? Do teams really NEED mascots?
