The Atlanta Braves’ mascot, Blooper, should probably look into playing for the Falcons after this amazing tackle

The Atlanta Braves’ Blooper mascot is pretty brilliant. I’m not sure who’s inside there, but whoever they are did once get Bryce Harper to sign away his Phillies contract.

But it’s not just brains in there — there’s some brawn, too. The mascot might actually have an NFL job waiting for them after seeing the way this tackle went down on Friday.

To be completely honest, I’m not all sure what’s going on in this scene. There are two Home Depot mascots here and they’re running away. It looks like the drill mascot has stolen something and the bucket mascot is trying to get it back.

So here comes Blooper to save the day with this textbook tackle. Just look at this thing, y’all.

Squares up. Shoulders are great. It’s totally legal, too. This is a great tackle. An NFL-caliber one, in fact. Someone needs to call the Falcons and get this thing popping — they do have to back up that Super Bowl prediction from Desmond Ridder, after all.

Seriously. This is great, fun stuff. Hopefully, no mascots were hurt in the making of this.
