There's no need to sugarcoat it: Not every sports mascot is memorable for the right reasons. For every Benny the Bull out there, there's a Big Red at Western Kentucky that looks a little too much like a melted gumdrop. Sports team mascots may come and go, but the memories -- for better or worse -- live on forever, carried forward by fans and their less-than-magical first-hand experiences.

In this latest episode of "The Rundown," a collaboration between TYT Sports and ThePostGame, we recount some of the worst mascots out there -- and some mascot nightmares we'd rather not relive.
