Spin on Sports, over at Sportsline.com, has been allowing fans to vote for the most fierce NFL mascot for the last month, now. It’s a great idea; executed in tournament bracket format and featuring the very best (and worst) of football’s true cheerleaders.

Recently, however, a colossal second-round upset has shocked the mascot world and forever changed the way we’ll view sweaty bastards wearing upholstery foam. Apparently, the Bears mascot, Staley Da Bear, is 16% less fierce than the failed Hulk Hogan/Owen Wilson genetic slapdash known as Viktor.

Viktor? Not even Viktor the Viking? I don’t fear anyone I’m on a first-name basis with. Further, there is nothing remotely fierce about Viktor. Creepy? Most def. But not fierce. Viktor’s facial expression rivals one a lonely dentist would make upon realization his victim had entered a nitrous oxide-induced coma.

What’s worse amongst all of this blasphemy is Viktor has made it to the final round of the NFC championship. First those jerks acquire Jared Allen to improve an already-great defensive line and now they’re this close to having the most fierce mascot in the NFL? Not on my watch. Voting for the round ends today, so make sure to stop by and – as much as it pains me – help Chief Zee of the Redskins kick Viktor’s arse.
