Sir Purr Makes NFC Pro Bowl Roster

When this cutie patootie isn't playing with string he can really sling the ball

San Francisco, California – As many analysists predicted, Carolina Panthers mascot Sir Purr was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team to replace Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, who will be appearing in the Super Bowl. “It is an honor to be given this chance to compete and show off my talents,” said Purr to the press. “For too long the Pro Bowl has been looked at as a joke and shell of its former self. I promise to bring respect back to this game that holds no value or relevance.” Sir Purr won the roster spot over the Packers’ Jordan Love and Bears’ Caleb Williams due to Purr's “arm strength, mobility, and soft fluffy tail” according to those involved in the decision. There had been rumors last week that Tampa Bay’s mascot, Captain Fear, could sneak into the role, but those hopes died Monday when Fear was arrested and charged for a third time for boating under the influence.
