Staley Da Bear
Team: Chicago Bears
Mascot Type: Costumed Character
Description: Bear
,
Staley ranks as the all-time funniest, friendliest, fuzziest, funkiest bear in the history of the NFL! He currently leads the Bears in most high-fives, most t-shirts shot into the crowd, most costume changes in a single season, and longest butt bounce. In addition to being named a ten-time Pro-Bowl mascot, Staley has won a gold medal for rock-paper-scissors and a silver in the staring contest at the Celebrity Mascot Olympics
Before Staley became a professional mascot, he attended Bearsley Academy where he met his “bear ff’s” Pooh, Smokey, and Yogi. Staley held all-time school records for most thumb wrestling championships, largest desk, largest Trapper-Keeper, and longest kickball homerun. He was also voted by his class “most likely to become a mascot” and “best hair”. Staley has yet to attend college. Unfortunately, most universities prohibit the admission of bears. Staley did however “attend” the circus.
While his tickets were excellent, Staley was not impressed with the Lions. When asked what his favorite thing to do on a Sunday was, Staley answered: “Inviting 60,000 of my closest friends over to watch a Bears game.” In his downtime Staley enjoys exercising, playing the drums, and is highly skilled with a fishing pole. His former bear friends include Bearyonce, Britney Sbears, Katy Beary, Meagan Bear Trainer, and Christina AguBeara.
