And now, some news you won't clucking believe.

The Nashville Sounds are in the process of rebranding the entire club ahead of their move to First Tennessee Park next spring -- and sources tell the Post that team officials are considering dumping their mascot, a cougar named Ozzie, for â¦ a hot chicken.

Ozzie has been the Sounds mascot since 1997, a cat with bulging biceps who tromped the stands and the top of the dugouts wearing a Sounds jersey. In his place would be a symbol of Nashville's only real culinary specialty.

For their part, the Sounds neither confirmed nor denied the change.

"There's a lot of things in play with that and we haven't made any firm decisions," said Doug Scopel, the Sounds' vice president for baseball operations. "We're evaluating all aspects including the mascot, but we don't have anything to make public at this time."

He said that the club doesn't have a timetable for rolling out changes as they move into their new stadium north of downtown.

"It could potentially extend to other elements, but we've got to figure out what will be included," he said. "But absolutely -- logos, colors, uniforms and things of that nature will be part of the rebranding, which we will obviously make public before the beginning of next baseball season."
