I was going to make a stupid comment about this, but I will refrain. Once I saw that the mascots will be visiting kids, I changed my opinion of this "convention."

Why is the Titans' mascot a raccoon?

 

[MadCardDisease]

Sourdough Sam. That's pretty funny.

First the game in Mexico and now this? I don't see how the off-season could be going any better.

Will they be competing against each other for a hot babe? Or do I watch too much TV.

What does this have to do with the Cards off-season moves?
