| We may have under-seeded the Vikings as a 6, because they're poised for a Suite 16 run. |
By now, our Suite 16 is a quarter full with mascot representatives from the MLB already in.
Today, we find out which football mascots will make the big jump. First, let's take a look back at our first round NFL winners.

1. Tennessee Titans vs 9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It's gonna take a little more than some Caribbean marauders to knock off the first Gods of Greek mythology. Tennessee made the Sweet 16 Sunday, and they enter the Suite 16 today.
Winner: Titans
4. Detroit Lions vs 12. Cincinnati Bengals
I'll let Wikipedia settle this, with an entire page dedicated to the age-old question: Who would win a fight, a lion or a tiger?
Turns out, it ain't the king of the jungle.
Winner: Bengals
2. New York Giants vs 7. Dallas Cowboys
These two go back and forth on the football field, but if it came down to a match up of the mascots, it wouldn't be much of a contest. The Giants stomp the Cowboys and move on.
Winner: Giants
3. Chicago Bears vs 6. Minnesota Vikings
Vikings used to both kill and domesticate bears, so I think it goes without saying who wins this one.
Winner: Vikings
Let' check out the updated bracket.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to state my thoughts regarding team nicknames and mascots: A team's nickname and macot should have some relation to the location of the team. Jaaguars are not indigenous to Jacksonville, nor are titans to Tennessee. Alliteration is not a good enough excuse to pick a completely random team name. Btw, This goes for the Pirates and the Penguins too, Joe. Am I the only person who feels this way?
Wow, I never knew you had such strong feelings about this Baisden. Well, I guess as a fan of South Florida teams you might feel that way, but I personally think the Steelers have the lamest name in Pittsburgh. But that could also be because the name makes no real sense, and the American steel industry is dead...
I will give you this: The Penguins is a great name for a hockey team. The team just needs to be in Antartica.
