The mafic tree house leprechaun is a mythical creature that is said to reside in tree houses made out of mafic rocks. Mafic rocks are a type of igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron, giving them a dark, dense appearance. These rocks are typically found in volcanic areas and are known for their strong and durable nature. According to folklore, the mafic tree house leprechaun is a mischievous creature that is known for its love of shiny objects and mischief-making. It is said to have the ability to blend in with its surroundings, making it difficult to spot. Many believe that these leprechauns have the power to grant wishes, but only to those who can catch them.
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?
Many believe that these leprechauns have the power to grant wishes, but only to those who can catch them. Legend has it that if a person manages to capture the mafic tree house leprechaun, they must not take their eyes off it, as the leprechaun will try every trick in the book to escape. The leprechaun is said to be incredibly cunning and will do whatever it takes to regain its freedom.

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 "The Allure of the Mafic Tree House: A Magical Escape"
1. David - 1 star - The Mafic tree house leprechaun was a terrible experience for me. First of all, the construction of the tree house was very poor and felt unstable. The stairs leading up to the tree house were rickety and I felt unsafe climbing them. Once inside, the interior was cramped and uncomfortable, with very little space to move around. Additionally, the tree house was not well-maintained, with a leaky roof and signs of mold inside. Overall, I would not recommend staying at the Mafic tree house leprechaun as it was a disappointing and unpleasant experience.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - While the concept of the Mafic tree house leprechaun was intriguing, the reality fell short of expectations. The tree house was advertised as being secluded and surrounded by nature, but in reality, it was located near a busy road and we could hear the noise of traffic throughout our stay. The tree house itself was small and cramped, with limited amenities. The bed was uncomfortable and the overall cleanliness of the space left much to be desired. Additionally, the tree house lacked basic necessities such as a proper kitchen and bathroom facilities. For the price we paid, I expected a much better experience.
3. Michael - 2 stars - I was excited to stay at the Mafic tree house leprechaun, but unfortunately, it was not as magical as I had hoped. The tree house had a musty smell and felt damp throughout our stay. The advertised breathtaking views were obstructed by overgrown trees and shrubs. Inside, the space was cramped and lacked proper insulation, making it uncomfortable during colder nights. The communication with the host was also poor, as they were unresponsive to our inquiries and concerns. Overall, I was left disappointed with my experience at the Mafic tree house leprechaun and would not recommend it to others.
