Phoning it in: Here’s a bunch of photos of Handsome Dan

I guess you could say we’ve reached the dog days of the offseason.

Seriously, though. It’s late August, most of our staff is vacationing on the Mid-Major Madness Yacht (invite only), and there’s not much breaking news. It’s also #InternationalDogDay.

That means we’re just gonna throw a bunch of photos of Yale mascot Handsome Dan on our website and call it a day. You’ll love it.

The Getty and USA Today Gods have blessed us with a dozen quality images of this majestic pup and we’re going to share them with you now.

Look at this very good dog.

I also recommend you follow Handsome Dan on the Instagrams because, well, it’s glorious. For example, here’s a photo of him photocopying his ass:

See you when season previews start, folks. I’ll be on the yacht.
