i don’t think he’s big enough to make the team. maybe he should wait until next year to try out.

14 Mena 09.02.07 at 6:59 pm

Isn’t that a gerbil?

15 musicchick2 09.02.07 at 7:11 pm

Man, he is JUST toooo cute! I wonder if that’s a Lego helmet…must be bigger than that, huh? Whatever, he’s still adorable. And I agree with golden….little hammie football pants! Ahn!

16 Lindsay 09.02.07 at 7:31 pm

That is SO cute!

I think those come out of gumball machines. I used to get them when I was a kid.

17 GreggLDv 09.02.07 at 8:03 pm

See, because of the constant SNORGLING I receive, I must have proteck-shuns …

18 Lauri 09.02.07 at 8:16 pm

SuperDuper Cute!!!!

19 Rachel of Cyberia 09.02.07 at 8:48 pm

I think you mean yellow flag- yellow card is soccer.

20 Lizzy 09.02.07 at 8:58 pm

What no one has yet to realize is that this is a GIANT HAMSTEYHR and that is people-size helmetitude. Scary? Perhaps. Cute? Oh yes. Snorgle-able? *buries head in floof* Definitely.

21 DanBenZvi 09.02.07 at 9:01 pm

Oh lord, it’s Peyton Ham-ming.

22 Gillian 09.02.07 at 9:04 pm

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALLLLLLL!?

Nope. That’s a hamster fo shizzle.

(PS: Meg, they use yellow cards in soccer. They throw flags in football… say “Flag on the play”)

23 another Michelle 09.02.07 at 9:35 pm

Junior Varsity!

24 NYgirly 09.02.07 at 10:07 pm

25 Jen 09.02.07 at 10:08 pm

DanBenZvi–ROFL!! Go colts. and Hams.

26 Shannon Johnson 09.02.07 at 11:05 pm

Football hamster, how cute.

27 Dale 09.02.07 at 11:48 pm

Actually, I believe this is Jack Ham.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ham

(Was this guy in the starting line for Michigan yesterday? That would explain a lot…)

28 Ponygirl 09.03.07 at 12:07 am

Dale, that was what I was going to say!

29 Jen 09.03.07 at 12:41 am

OMG I TOTALLY remember doing that, circa 1978. My brother had a million of those helmets & we’d put them on my five gerbils an watch them totter around and crash into each other. Ahhh… misty water-colored memories….

30 kitty lover 09.03.07 at 3:37 am

how cute is that yo!!

(P.S)

“i said get into FOR-MAY-SHON!!!!!!”

: – )

31 hey-h 09.03.07 at 4:10 am

Ok, so, maybe yellow card is technically less correct, but it’s funnier – can you imagine the hamster/gerbil/whatever playing soccer in this helmet? Heh.

32 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 09.03.07 at 6:23 am

Hammy. Now I can try for that mousetrap cheese.

33 Puff 09.03.07 at 6:48 am

OMFG. ::DIES::

34 Dee 09.03.07 at 8:36 am

That helmet is the best…but…Isn’t that a gerbil? I don’t think its a ham.

35 J. Bo 09.03.07 at 12:29 pm

I’m not generally much on the rodents, but that is seriously hilarious.

36 Julie H 09.03.07 at 3:01 pm

The “Heisman Ham” is my hamster, Kyle. He is a Russian Dwarf Hamster. Unfortunately, he passed away before he could see himself (famously!) on Cute Overload. So seeing him is a little bittersweet. The helmet is a cupcake decoration and I got him to wear it by schmearing a little pb on the inside of the strap. He would do literally anything for peanut butter. Thanks to everyone who thinks this is a cute picture!

37 ColbyWolf 09.03.07 at 4:51 pm

Very cute! I’m sorry for your lose, Julie…

Though at risk of changing the topiic: anyone else been having trouble with hamster tracker the past few days? I didn’t realize how empty my life was without my daily dose of Lucy…

38 blair 09.03.07 at 5:16 pm

Ah! A delicious McPigskinnersons! I must have eeet!

39 Blackie 09.04.07 at 3:54 am

I am so sorry for you, Julie. Kyle was the cutest!

40 Theresa 09.04.07 at 4:42 am

Football? Eh. I love baseball. Show me a David Wright or Jose Reyes hamster.

Oh wait, Jose Reyes IS a hamster!!

41 Theresa 09.04.07 at 4:43 am

PS Jose has got some serious BEF, too. ;)

42 amanda 09.04.07 at 2:54 pm

Ohhhh!!! I used to have about 11 dwarves a few years ago! I got one to wear a tiny tiny little shirt, and i used to sit them in little pumpkin decorations

43 Juniper Jupiter 09.04.07 at 7:01 pm

Ervel Kegerbil?

44 SPB 09.06.07 at 4:23 am

Julie H, so sorry to hear about your losing Kyle. Kyle… what a cute name for a hammy.

I’ve had dwarf hamsters for a number of years. But I must say, I never tried dressing any of them. My rats wouldn’t even stand for that (not that I’ve tried. hmm…)

Anyway, I know you and Kyle had a lot of fun together. He was one lucky ham.
