I think that the most significant of these similarities are the bird mascot in round one. It's always important to have a dominating game in your first win and there is not more subservieant character in the realm of NFL mascots than birds. They are easily shot and killed in other ways too. I am glad to have won verse the eagle and cardinal people. Let's go beat the horny helmot people and then the vet qb and we can send bree's into his heavenly home in audubon park!
