The Redskins Store Actually Sells This
By Jamie Mottram | August 4, 2010
We could do an entire series of posts like this. In fact, we probably will. First up, the Redskins store actually sells a “Redskins Cleatus Robot action figure” for $30. It’s even a “featured item” on the store’s homepage.
If you haven’t clawed your eyes out yet, here’s the description:
The NFL Fox Sports Robot marked the beginning of a new era for America’s favorite spectator sport. This 10 inch poseable PVC plastic Redskins Cleatus Robot action figure features the highest quality and greatest attention to detail available in an action figure. Cleatus the FOX Sports Robot utilizes his fully articulating joints to evade defenders and score touchdowns. A must-have piece for every sport fanatic’s collection.
The Robot definitely “marked a new era.” An era of annoying the shit out of everyone who has to watch the NFL on Fox.
Now, it does seem that a Cleatus Robot is made for every NFL team, so maybe the Redskins should get a pass. The Skins, however, are the only NFC East team to actually feature it on their website.
There’s a reason Dan Snyder makes a dollar and a cent in this business.

Thank You! I generally have a large gathering of friends for every Skins game. Never fails one of my buddies will say they like the robot. And I go apeshit crazy! What could you possibly like about a robot doing Deion’s dance? Unless you are a child or wife, your not allowed to like the fargin robot.

Cleatus is based on Marcus Washington I think, so it kinda makes sense.

Every team sells the Cletus robot. Fox sells all of them on their website:

Umm where’s the Brett Farve coverage? ( pounds head on wall.)

We don’t have any new Favre coverage, but this old, throwaway post has been one of our most popular over the past 48 hours:

That’s what Dan Snyder sees when he looks in the mirror.

The best name they could come up with is Cleatus, the slack-jawed yokel.

Cleatus has better hands than Tana, unfortunately.

To be fair DocJ, they tried Tiffany, Heather (twice), Cody, Dylan, Dermot, Jacob, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendall, Caitlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kyra, Ian, Lauren, Qbert, and Phil, but Cletus was the daddy of them all.

It’s CLEATus, not Cletus, get it?
