Contestant Needed for Febearary Fever Tournament

We all know the offseason is slow, boring, and repetitive; I'm already tired of Peyton Manning news and the million different trade scenarios that would get Brandon Marshall to Chicago (would love him here, but ain't gonna happen). So, to prepare ourselves for the greatest month of amateur sports and professional gambling (March Madness, duh) Windy City Gridiron presents to you: Febearary Fever!
The Febearary Fever tournament features thirty-two contestants vying for the title of "Greatest Bear Ever." However, unlike past polls, no Chicago Bears will be participating; instead, we're having famous bears from television, movies, books, and real life faceoff in a poll-crazy month of head-to-head battles to the death. Ever pondered who is better: Yogi or Smoky? What about Winnie versus Staley? Then this is the tournament for you.
Jump ahead to check out the list of this year's participants and how to get your contestant added to the tournament.
We currently have thirty-one of the thirty-two slots for the tournament filled by the bears below, but want to make sure we're not leaving any famous bear off the list. Check over the list and see if we missed any bear, and if so, throw their name out there in the comments section. If you find a bear you would like to see added, rec them and the bear with the most rec's will get added. If we get multiple good choices to add, the tournament committee (i.e. me) will identify the best bear to make the cut.
Again, no Chicago Bears are permitted to participate, but bears from literature, tv, movies, comics, real life, mascots, etc can all be considered. Other than sports teams, we're not going to consider real people for the tournament, guys associated with bears, or with bear-related nicknames like Grizzly Adams. Hey, I take this stuff seriously (not really). So, start racking your brain and find us another bear.
Mascots: Staley (of course), Oski (U. of Cal), Grizz (Memphis Grizzlies), Blades (Bruins), Snuggle, Smoky, Charmin bear, Sugar Crisp bear
Literature: Baloo (Jungle Book), Berenstain Bears, Winnie the Pooh, the 3 Bears (Goldilocks)
TV: Conan O'Brien Bear, Bobo (Simpsons), Sexual Harassment Panda (South Park), Yogi, Boo Boo, Gentle Ben, Fozzy
Movies: Po (Kung Fu Panda), Bald-Headed Bear (Great Outdoors)
Other: Care Bears, Gummi Bears, Paddington Bear, Teddy Ruxpin, the Country Bears, Bruno, Ling Ling, Teddy Bear, Chicago Cubs

Snuggle and Teddy Ruxpin are both just plain evil
and should be burnt on sight.
Above all; keep 'em guessing, never let them lose their sense of confusion.
What about the contingent of large hairy homosexual men?

You did, actually.
Much to the dismay of south-siders everywhere.

Possibly
although I loathe that show – a copy of American Dad, which was a copy of Family Guy, which was a copy of the Simpsons.
If its free, take two.
Charmin?
And no, not Greg Olsen, eventhough he is not a Bear anymore.

Naughty Bear, Kuma (Tekken) or Lots-O-Huggin Bear (TS3)
I like Kuma the best though.

For the record
when TJ solicited the writing staff for bears, my first response was also Pedobear.

As A New Follower Of WCG
I will take that into consideration. I am now warned.

Not as great of a slogan as Olympia
“It’s the water,” which should actually read, “It’s water.”

Who do I text to add...
Un-Bear-able Fan behavior.
I was going to suggest Iorek Bjornison
but he is actually quite dangerous as opposed to silly and cute.
Bear Grylls?
Any guy that’ll drink from elephant dung probably needs to be in the mix.

What about these bears?
Bart the Bear. He is the bear “actor” that portrayed the bear in the films The Great Outdoors, White Fang, Legends of the Fall, and Wild America.
I am surprised the Bear Bryant hasn’t been suggested.
The 1908 Cubs mascot was exceptionally interesting...
It was supposed to be a Bear. But I’m not sure exactly how to describe it. Interestingly enough, it was the last time the Cubs won the World Series.
I'm a ninja.
Is that on oversized Chipmunk?
