Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


TORO: A Call to Arms!

Or horns if you will.

CBS Sportsline is in search of the Fiercest Mascot in the NFL. In a single elimination tournament, two mascots are pitted against each other in a battle of ferocity. The winner is determined by vote totals.

In the first round, the mighty Toro trampled Blue, the baby Colt, in a landslide victory. With 80% of the over 8,000 votes, Toro was the clear winner.

Round two is proving to be a bit more arduous. In this round of the mascot battle, Toro drew the Bill's Billy Buffalo, who took out the Bengal's Who Dey. Fueled by the plight of their respective fan bases, both mascots are barreling into each other with tremendous force.

Giving up two feet and a couple hundred pounds has put Toro at a disadvantage as he is trailing the ta tonka (43% to 57%). The voting is set to conclude Tuesday, June 17th. Although Toro is down he is not out. There is still time to vote.

So get your friends, neighbors, and their friends and neighbors to go to CBS Sportsline.com and help Toro advance to the third round of competition. It's time to circle the wagons and get behind the beloved Texans mascot!

See...

We’re always in the toughest division, even when it comes to mascots! But Toro is a second half mascot, so he’s got a good chance to come back. But if he does, I don’t know if we’ll get that contract extension and it’ll affect our mascot draft…...damn…..this off season has got to end…..well ah shit anyways….Go Toro!!

Yep

Still down 56% – 44%.

And it will only let me vote once from this PC. They are obviously not using the MLB all-star voting format.

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go TexanHornStros!

It's fixed!!

For the Most Fierce NFL Mascot Competition, they put Toro in a white jersey! What’s that?? They couldn’t find pink or mauve? This goes to show the inherent bias against the Houston franchise! Besides the Buffalo guy looks , lets face it, stupid….

re: Buffalo mascot looks stupid

I was going with “looks like he’s on shrooms”....but stupid is fine too

Billy is a ghosted out paint huffer…
