This week, we look at how sports grab our attention. The game is on? Almost nothing else matters, and that goes for players and fans. So here we simply call attention to those who deserve it and clearly enjoy it.

First, sorry bunny and shark at the Maryland game, but Halloween is so LAST week.

He's back! RESILIENCE, BIG FELLA!

Keep your eye on the quarterback, guys. He's coming right at us aaaaaand he just went right over us.

Oh, mascots. You always get our attention. We do love you so.

Yes, yes. You too.
