Has anyone seen or heard of Populoso after the Islanders season finished?

I wonder what he is doing now?

I saw Populoso just after the elimination under the train bridge with a bottle that has a label of a man in a horse. He didnt look well.

Was he with his friend the space man mascot?

I bet those two get their fair share of chicas.

Populoso is da man!

I heard a rumor that he was going to be in Calle 13's next video and that he may even rap a few lines on their next single. I don't know if it's true or not.

I only hope and pray that I will be that cool one day.

Populoso would definitely be up for a bit of dirty dancing havana nights style the way he shakes those hips.

Not sure though about the rap lines - he is a mascot of few syllables.

Has anyone ever heard him talk?

Guys I'm sorry to break the bad news, I saw Populoso begging for money like a bum at a couple of street lights lately. Someone told me they saw him going down to La Perla, that can only mean one thing, our poor bear is hooked on Heroine. He is rail thin and has track marks running up and down his fur. Yes, its very disturbing I'm afraid, we are going to have to make some sort of intervention to save our favorite mascot's life. Not only is he drinking Don Q in massive quantities, he's been speedballing like a member of Guns n Roses.

I knew that hanging out with space man mascot would be a bad influence on Populoso.

We must save our hero. Is there enough money left in the beer kitty to send Populoso off to rehab?

Even in your jokes you judge and assume and discriminate and try to put someone down!!!! What kind of person are u???????
If somebody reads all your post, he'll think the island is full of gangs, gangsters, drugs, people that dont know how to behave, and pretty ladies.

You can buy crack and heroin in Condado, u know? And u can buy candy and food in La Perla...

GOD!!!!

...and u think thats funny frown
i give up

I think that the decline of Populoso has more to do with the general depair amongst Islanders fans after our elimination.

It hurt some more than others. These days poor Populoso looks more like that annoying rat off the "Que Suerte" show than the robust bear we all love.

San Juan is a tough town for sports mascots. Just ask Yuppi of the Montreal Expos. You have to train hard, squeeze into a suit that is about 120 degrees Fahrenheit and entertain. Puerto Ricans (and gringos) after all demand entertainment.

An entertain he did. In return Popouloso had media commitments, kids adulation, photo shoots, chicas stroking his hair etc and who wouldn't want that. Now what does he have? Kids 2 year old birthday parties in Vega Alta?
No disrespect there either.

I think Populoso should seek out the advice of Jay Jay the Santurce Cangrejeros basketball team mascot who is a commusate professional who handles the pressure year in, year out.

We all have an obligation to rehabilitate Populoso in time for our run for the USL-1 title next season.
