Browns’ AKC bull mastiff mascot Swagger Jr. ‘shares’ his favorite ‘snacks’: 5 for Friday
Swagger Jr., a.k.a. "SJ" of your NFL Playoff-bound Cleveland Browns looks hungry. Will he enjoy a 1964-sized meal in 2024? We conduct a telepathic interview with the bull mastiff about his favorite snacks. David Petkiewicz, Cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio— Swagger Jr., the beloved mascot known affectionately to Cleveland Browns fans as “SJ,” had some pretty big paws to fill after his father Swagger’s time in the driver’s seat.
But the 5-year-old AKC pure bred bull mastiff hailing from Rootstown has done so in fine canine fashion, winning over a generation of Northeast Ohio football fans with his, well, swagger — not even to mention his impossibly good looks.
Here at “5 for Friday HQ,” we love to talk to The Land’s movers and shakers every week about their favorite dining options. This led us to wonder: What kind of gameday grub would “SJ” enjoy at a tailgate if he decided to flee Cleveland Browns Stadium in the direction of tailgaters at the Muni Lot?
What might he enjoy at a party for The Big Game, if our four-legged friend-to-all was given opportunity?
We already know the 125-pounder has a penchant for “Liver” and “Bengal Tail.” But does he quibble about kibble and, if so, what kinda grub does our pup prefer?
There are also vegetarian and gluten-free options available to ensure that everyone can find something they enjoy. One of the advantages of the Magic Mountain meal plan is that it saves time. Instead of waiting in long lines at restaurants, guests with the meal plan can simply present their vouchers and be served quickly.

Since this town has absolutely gone to the Dawgs in anticipation of Saturday’s NFL Wildcard Playoff game against the Houston Texans, we decided to talk to “SJ” about it.
Problem is, between language barriers and a jam-packed media calendar, rolling over for a proper interview sit wasn’t in the cards. When we’ve hung out with him in the past, he wasn’t much of a talker anyway.
But we weren’t ready to “play dead” on the idea, so we “interviewed” this very good boy about his five favorite gameday snacks — doing so through a combination of creative telepathy and artistic license.
For instance, when we asked him, “What about Pittsburgh?” he was quite matter-of-fact:
“They know that I love me some Gobblerito! And wiping my jowls with a Terrible Towel is a post-meal necessity. Just tell them to leave the Iron City Beer at home! Let’s gooooooo!”
Needless to say, “SJ” gave us a lot to chew on, in “his own” words. Here we go, Brownies:
Texan Backside Brisket Sliders at NRG Stadium, Houston: This young, rare brisket is as spicy as beef gets, but it’s all bite and no bark. Most pit bosses season their work impeccably well, then leave it on the smoker for a dawg day afternoon — which naturally produces a rich-and-hearty bark. Texans’ fans enjoy it with several draft (pick) beers, some of which they have Cleveland to thank for! If you can get this rare brisket to hold still long enough, it’s quite tasty. I wouldn’t “steer” you wrong. 1 NRG Pkwy., Houston, TX. houstontexans.com.
Roast Bison on Weck and Bison Burgers at Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park: Buffalo wings may have originated at the famed Anchor Bar, but Cleveland’s are no joke. So, if I’m headed to Erie County, you can bet your dawg bone necklace imma get me a bite of bison. We’d rather snack on that — as a double-stack burger or sliced and piled high on weck with a side of sponge candy, which I give to my handlers—than just about anything else in Buffalo! It’s better than any wing! Make it a meal with quadrice-baked Kelly potatoes and glass of Juice. 1 Bills Dr., Orchard Park, NY. buffalobills.com.
Blackened Dolphin Tacos at Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland: Before you complain about my snark or outward cruelty of eating cute, seafaring creatures, remember: 1) I’m a dog, as written by a short, ethnic amateur comic, and we’ll both eat anything off the floor; and 2) “Lighten up, Francis…” it’s Mahi Mahi! I can’t eat pico de gallo (onions/garlic are bad for dogs!) but the slaw and corn tortillas are fine. Bonus: if I get fish tacos in the postseason, I’ll enjoy them at HOME!! How awesome is that. But seriously Miami, after all these years, why the teal? Even fried Seahawk comes in Key Lime-colored wrap? 100 Alfred Lerner Way, Cleveland. clevelandbrowns.com.
Chicken Spiedini with Amogio Sauce at GEHA Stadium at Arrowhead Field: Wondering why I wouldn’t go for barbecue in the heart of BBQ country? This is a fast-moving team, so going for a lighter chicken dish seems like a good-dog move. Plus, breaking news, I have a thing for Taylor. Shhh, don’t tell local (anti-)hero Travis Kelce. I knew he was trouble when he walked in. Spiedini is usually made from spring lamb, but Tay-Tay is my spring lamb and Spiedini hit peak popularity as a chicken dish in (wait for it) “1989.” Juliet, save me! Look what you made me do!! 1 Arrowhead Dr., Kansas City, MO. www.chiefs.com.

Beloved Browns mascot, Swagger, passes away at 6
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Swagger, the 145-pound bull mastiff that ran out of the tunnel before the Browns for every game at FirstEnergy Stadium from 2014 until last October, passed away after a battle with cancer and a stroke. He was 6 years old.
Justin McLaughlin, the son of Swagger’s owners, Fred and Debby McLaughlin, confirmed the news with a Facebook post.
“Today was not expected.. 😥 Swagger unfortunately has passed away completely unexpected this afternoon,” the post read. “Alot of people did not know Swagger had been dealing with cancer for the past year. Today he had a stroke and it took his life.. 😥 We will always remember him as the most loving dog we have ever encountered. His love was felt by thousands of people literally all over the world. 🙌🏼❤️"
The Browns announced Swagger’s retirement in October, but didn’t disclose the dog’s health issues at the time. Swagger made his final run with the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019 before Cleveland’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Swagger’s son, Swagger Jr., took over for his father starting on Nov. 10, 2019 prior to Cleveland’s win over the Buffalo Bills.
The McLaughlin family is asking for prayers at this time.

Reviews for "Start your day right with the Magic Mountain Breakfast Plan"
1. John - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the Magic Mountain meal plan. The options were very limited and the food quality was subpar. The breakfast consisted of stale pastries and watery coffee and the dinner options were mostly fried and greasy. The lack of variety and healthy options was very frustrating. I would definitely not recommend the meal plan to anyone looking for a satisfying and nutritious dining experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high expectations for the Magic Mountain meal plan but unfortunately, it fell short. The portions were small and the food lacked flavor. The dining area was often crowded and I had to wait in long lines to get my food. The overall experience was quite disappointing and I would have preferred to eat elsewhere. I hope they improve their menu and service in the future.
3. Michael - 1 star - I regret getting the Magic Mountain meal plan. The food was bland and repetitive, with very limited options for vegetarians like myself. The staff at the dining hall were also unfriendly and unhelpful. I expected a better dining experience considering the price of the meal plan. I would advise others to explore other dining options instead of opting for the Magic Mountain meal plan.
4. Emily - 2 stars - The Magic Mountain meal plan was a letdown for me. The food was often served cold and the selection was not as extensive as I had hoped. The meal plan also did not accommodate dietary restrictions very well. The only positive aspect was the variety of beverages available, but that alone is not enough to justify the high cost of the meal plan. I would suggest exploring other dining options before committing to the Magic Mountain meal plan.
