re: Instead of running out of the tunnel

Cue the "Eye of the Tiger" or "No easy way out " by Surviour and have Mike the Bengal Tiger run out onto midfield. Have the smoke and the fireworks going. The opponents for that week would be standing on their sideline already wondering if Mike was gonna come over there and get busy with them.

The players could come out jumping up and down with gold chains around their neck. Les could come in behind the players in a black limosine and a black fedora hat.
