My cover feature for the Houston Press about Clutch the Bear...on boxing, getting in shape and the rigors of being an NBA mascot. http://www.houstonpress.com/2012-05-03/news/clutch-rockets-mascot-boxer/
Got to meet Robert and his two twin boys earlier this year, thanks to one of the assistants that allowed The_Yoyo and I to go backstage and see some of the magic. Great story Jeff, you are quite a skilled writer.
Nice article, Jeff. He's in great shape for his age, and it looks like he'll be able to continue for many more years. I always wondered if mascots knew each other, and now I know lol.
Yeh I remember Robert and I had talked one time when he was tending bar about the rigors of dropping out of college.
Great story, Jeff. Nice photos, too. It's awesome how Clutch has so much time to box, be a mascot, report stuff for this website, and run this website.
I'm a little slow lately... just now reading this. Saw Jeff at a few games covering the behind the scenes stuff for Clutch the Bear. Well done story. Somewhat painful reading the quotes from the mascots though because they're all the mascots from the Rockets crash at the end of the year
