The hot list: Who's at the top of S.A.'s mascot food chain?

San Antonio Express-News

The Coyote, the Spurs' mascot, was ejected during Wednesday's game after he pretended like he was going to attack Minnesota's Wally Szczerbiak. "That's the kind of toughness we have," Tim Duncan said. "They were scared of him, so they had to toss him." The Coyote, then, has shown he's one of the most intimidating mascots in San Antonio sports. But is he the best? You be the judge:

Rowdy, UTSA


Pro: Smart move to use the same name as the Dallas Cowboys' mascot.

Con: Not the smartest move to make Rowdy the Roadrunner look like something out of children's nightmare.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fox, Silver Stars


Pro: Holds the WNBA record for most T-shirts launched during a timeout, according to its Web site.

Con: To get one of those T-shirts last year you had to sit through a game (the Stars were a league-worst 9-25).



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T-Bone, rampage


Pro: In case you think T-Bone is just some dumb cow, his Web site reminds us that he attended Brown Cowlege.

Cons: Must realize he's not in a hockey hotbed. Then again, he would be out of work if he were in a hockey hotbed.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ballapeño, Missions


Pro: Keeps alive the theme of Mexican-food mascots at Wolff Stadium.

Con: Clearly plays second fiddle to Henry the Puffy Taco.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry the Puffy Taco, Missions


Pro: Named best mascot in minor-league baseball by Newsweek in 2002.

Cons: His lack of a face is a little disturbing. And once — just once — can't he outrun that little kid to home plate, turn around and laugh at him?



Coyote, Spurs


Pros: He rides motorcycles, jumps through fire to dunk, hits more threes than Reggie Miller and shoots free throws better than Duncan. Even when his back is to the basket. Not to mention the obvious — he's hilarious.

Cons: Attacking the Coyote would be sort of like ripping Santa Claus. Which is to say it'd play well in Philly but not here.

watch out there Timmy, the Mascot might end up winning the MVP this yr.

Blanks is.

Land is ok.

Better than the geriatric living in the past, still thinks Dennis Johnson is playing for the Celtics in Stockton.
