Browns team shop selling Rally Possum stuffed toys because, hey, whatever works!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Will the Browns Rally Possum strike thrice this Sunday?

After making appearances at both of the Browns' victories this season at FirstEnergy Stadium, the lucky marsupial will be at this weekend's game against the Chargers if not in the flesh, at least in spirit.

That's because the pro shop at the stadium is already selling possum plush toys for, gulp, $25 a pop. It's important to point out the item doesn't include the Browns bandana seen in a since-deleted tweet and the stuffed toy, made by Wild Republic, is that of a generic possum, not one specifically created for the team. In fact, you can also find it on Wild Republic's site for a more reasonable price of $16.99, though it is currently out of stock. May I interest you in a lovable harp seal instead?

If schlepping a stuffed animal around the Dawg Pound isn't your bag, there are also plenty of unofficial Rally Possum T-shirts for sale all over the Internet.

The legend of the Rally Possum began during the Jets game Sept. 20 when an opossum was found scurrying in the stands, terrifying fans before being caught by the tail by a brave soul. Thanks to the possum's good juju and quite possibly Baker Mayfield, the Browns won the game -- their first in 635 days -- and, afterwards, the team paid it forward by humanely releasing the critter outside of the stadium.

Then, prior to the game against the Ravens on Oct. 7, another opossum was spotted creeping and crawling outside the gates of FirstEnergy presumably looking for a way inside. No word if it was same animal, but the result was the same. The Browns beat the Ravens for their second victory of the season, thus proving with their new mascot, anything is possum-ible.

Bring on the Chargers.

Opposums are hideous creatures that roll over and play dead when threatened.

Lets not have that as a mascot.

We're 2-0 with the possum on site.

Go possum!

I expect and hope to see someone let a possum loose on Sunday

You ever have 1 cornered in your garage? Trust me, they don't play dead.

Why are they calling it a rally possum? It's clearly an opossum.

Jules has an opossum story...

My dogs kill them all the time. If they were so awesome at defending themselves they would not be getting killed.

I don't know about all that. What I DO know is trying to get one out of your garage means .........well, I stared the devil in the face, and at least that one time, I won. With an open door, and a half sheet of plywood between me and Satan.

Spelled the same way ?

I really dislike the opossum story..

Went from dawgs to Opossums..

I feel its degrading and stupid...

Maybe it's the fact the Browns can win with the talent on the field.

Take no chances though. Bring a possum and wear the color rush jerseys

dat right there.

Apparently Opossums are native to North America, Possums are native to Australia and surrounding islands, different marsupials.

So we have Jungle Jack Hanna on the board.. lol

I don't care what they're called or where an extra O goes: When one is behind your boiler in the garage, and you're trying to get it out of the garage, they are nasty mean. And they don't play dead.

Trying getting one out of a tight attic space. That's not a call you want to get from a tenant at 6:30am.
Nothing like popping your head up through the small opening while standing on a ladder, to have a smelly, hissing possum staring back at you.

I'm sure. They can be nasty mean.

Wow. TMI from our DC.

I think possum pie is delicious if granny makes it.

so does every steeler fan

Answer to "What's for our tailgate?" Sally the Rally Possum!

Like my teacher used to ask, "Did you bring enough for everybody?" Free round of possum on the DC!

My german shepherd brought me an opossum last night and laid it on the porch. I said,"Oh no boy, we don't hurt them anymore!" After bringing the dogs in the house, I watched through the french door as that opossum slowly woke up from whatever paralyzes them and he stumbled for a bit before jumping of my porch and running back into the woods.

Live long and prosper Rally Possum! lol

hopefully you brought us Karma baby

You need an adjustment.
At one time, I thought as you. I have learned some things since then.

(there is LOTS more, but I'm not gonna preach tonight...)

They are fascinating animals.
Moms carry their entire brood on their backs for the first few weeks. 6-8 babies, clinging to their Momz on commutes. Strong 'Family Values,' yo.

But we agree on one detail, for sure:
Opossums make lousy mascots.

"Cleveland Rally Opossums: when challenged, we play dead."



Not a great look.

Well, here's the setup.....
When can we expect Jules along with the spike?

Dawgs need details, yo.

They are hideous. Have you ever seen one up close?

No thanks.

Well, they wear khakis so.....

Ann Marie, is that you!?
