Who even cares how the team is actually playing?

Mascot Rankings: NFL

In This Article:

The NFL is full of dozens of great players and great teams. Behind each of these teams is a mascot that can hold their own too. Instead of deciding who's the best based off the number of wins, I've ranked the teams over how likely their mascots would win in a fight. Yay!! P.S. If the team has a contrasting mascot name and mascot on the field, I'm basing it off the name, because I make the rules here.

32. Washington Football Team

https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1326159181846618112/photo/1

Mascot: Nothing but vibes I guess (as seen from the photo above)

My Ranking: 32- I'm super glad that this team finally ditched their old mascot, but there could have been a little more effort to come up with a new one.

31. Kansas City Chiefs

https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/1273334435220533248/photo/1

Mascot: Chiefs/K.C. Wolf

My Ranking: 31- Sad to do this to Patrick Mahomes, but the history behind this mascot name makes me very unhappy.

30. San Francisco 49ers

https://twitter.com/49ers/status/1322993090827706368/photo/1

Mascot: 49ers/Sourdough Sam (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 30- Hopefully the last of the problematic mascots (fingers crossed), but honoring the 1849 gold rush where I've discovered thousands of Indigenous people were killed is not the move.

29. Cleveland Browns

https://twitter.com/BrownsChomps/status/892070864426078208/photo/1

Mascot: Browns/Chomps

My Ranking: 29- This one had me worried, but it's just some dude's last name.

28. Green Bay Packers

https://twitter.com/packers/status/1325155686402166784/photo/1

Mascot: Packers

My Ranking: 28- I hate packing as much as the next person but devoting a whole team to it? Seems strange.

27. Pittsburgh Steelers

https://twitter.com/Teresa_Varley/status/1327327484455620609/photo/1

Mascot: Steelers/Steely McBeam (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 27- Another weird one, not to mention the name Steely McBeam sounds like a child came up with it.

26. Los Angeles Chargers

https://twitter.com/Chargers/status/1325538930083524610/photo/1

Mascot: Chargers

My Ranking: 26- It's funnier if you imagine a bunch of phone and laptop chargers coming at you.

25. Arizona Cardinals

https://twitter.com/Heather_Janssen/status/1119659185149341696/photo/1

Mascot: Cardinals/Big Red

My Ranking: 25- I just keep repeating the line "And I'm still Big Red" from the cheer in Bring It On.

24. Baltimore Ravens

https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1326943958732255235/photo/1

Mascot: Ravens/Poe (couldn't find a good picture)
My Ranking: 22- I mean, if it's a fight against Edgar Allan Poe, then they'd win.

23. Houston Texans

https://twitter.com/TexansTORO1/status/1324805986100674562/photo/2

Mascot: Texans/Toro

My Ranking: 23- I dig Toro's gloves, but they also look sort of like his hands are covered in blood. The blood of their opponents perhaps?

22. New England Patriots

https://twitter.com/WFAN660/status/1088830560234020864/photo/1

Mascot: Patriots/Pat Patriot

My Ranking: 22- I'm just waiting for those massive eyebrows to slither off his face.

21. Los Angeles Rams

https://twitter.com/RampageNFL/status/1326933684629303296/photo/1

Mascot: Rams/Rampage

My Ranking: 21- It looks so furry; I want to touch it so bad.

20. Miami Dolphins

https://twitter.com/jcfphotog/status/1221936441829228544/photo/1

Mascot: Dolphins/T.D.

My Ranking: 20- There's no porpoise (see what I did there?) for giving him a helmet so small.

19. Indianapolis Colts

https://twitter.com/ColtsEvents/status/1304770805876895744/photo/1

Mascot: Colts/Blue

My Ranking: 19- Is Blue giving us a mask photoshoot?

18. Denver Broncos

https://twitter.com/sportsphotos/status/673305866091651075/photo/1

Mascot: Broncos/Miles

My Ranking: 18- He's at the top of my list in snow angel form.

17. Buffalo Bills

https://twitter.com/MattBarkley/status/1325856316724830209/photo/1

Mascot: Bills/Billy Buffalo (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 17- I know technically their mascot is a bill, but come on, they couldn't name themselves the Buffalo buffalos, so I'm going to still count them as buffalo, because that's what they are at heart.

16. Seattle Seahawks

https://twitter.com/BlitzTheSeahawk/status/1307696602664980482/photo/1

Mascot: Seahawks/Blitz

My Ranking: 16- Those wings are epic.

15. Atlanta Falcons

https://twitter.com/FreddieFalcon/status/1307071025876738049/photo/2

Mascot: Falcons/Freddie Falcon

My Ranking: 15- Just like Freddie, I, too, go straight for the cupcakes.

14. Philadelphia Eagles

https://twitter.com/Eagles/status/432967060864237568/photo/1

Mascot: Eagles, Swoop

My Ranking: 14- Not much of a reason for this one, just flies in the middle of the pack (ba dum tss).

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

https://twitter.com/CaptainFear/status/1243523896986537984/photo/1

Mascot: Buccaneers/Captain Fear

My Ranking: 13- Well, the fear thing wasn't an exaggeration, because WTF is wrong with this guy? Don't let kids within a hundred feet- they'll be scarred for life.

12. Las Vegas Raiders

https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1326358995217625089/photo/1

Mascot: Raiders/Raider Rusher (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 12- A raider is basically just another name for pirate just like a buccaneer. The only main difference is this team's mascot won't haunt my dreams (Although if you look it up, it's honestly not much better).

11. Dallas Cowboys

https://twitter.com/JackFMDFW/status/1049721157509771264/photo/1

Mascot: Cowboys/Rowdy

My Ranking: 11- If you're reading this Dak, I love you.

https://twitter.com/ViktorTheViking/status/1313231551803674626/photo/1

Mascot: Vikings/Viktor

My Ranking: 10- Bonus points for being featured in a Lizzo song.

9. New York Jets

https://twitter.com/nyjets/status/1325907959361245184/photo/1

Mascot: Jets

My Ranking: 9- Pick your poison. A fancy, flying airplane or some jazz-squaring youths from West Side Story. Both equally scary options.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars

https://twitter.com/BigCatCountry/status/878236308295909376/photo/1

Mascot: Jaguars/Jaxon De Ville

My Ranking: 8- Whoever wears the mascot suit here does not get paid enough.

7. Carolina Panthers

https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/1325454256489574401/photo/3

Mascot: Panthers/Sir Purr

My Ranking: 7- Just like Sir Purr, I, too, would also like to pose with a Krispy Kreme sign.

6. Cincinnati Bengals

https://twitter.com/Bengals/status/1326285578367881216/photo/1

Mascot: Bengals/Who Dey (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 6- Calling themselves Bengals instead of plain-old tigers gives some extra spice that I appreciate.

5. Detroit Lions

https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1059426627392688128/photo/1

Mascot: Lions/Roary

My Ranking: 5- This mascot's name and long, brown hair is making me really want to make a Gilmore Girls reference.

4. Chicago Bears

https://twitter.com/JaceTEvans/status/1307843153089589253/photo/1

Mascot: Bears/Staley Da Bear

My Ranking: 4- It's sort of like mask inception here.

3. New York Giants

https://twitter.com/Giants/status/1326313709896044544/photo/4

Mascot: Giants

My Ranking: 3- Didn't work out well for Jack circa Jack & the Beanstalk. Or did it? I honestly can't remember how that fairytale ended.

2. New Orleans Saints

https://twitter.com/Saints/status/1321211109047705602/photo/1

Mascot: Saints/Sir Saint/Gumbo

My Ranking: 2- Saints have the Big Guy on their side, and I wouldn't bet against him.

1. Tennessee Titans

https://twitter.com/JoshMooreHL/status/1262840977368154114/photo/1

Mascot: Titans/ T-Rac

My Ranking: 1- The raccoon aside (although you do love to see it), not a lot beats a Titan... Unless you were any other football team in the Omaha Metro, then you regularly beat the Titans at my high school.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
