Wouldn't [color=\"#FFFFFF\"]BRONCOS[/color] be a better answer?

Seven Letters: Bulls and bears: [color=\"#FFFFFF\"]MAMMALS[/color] (Or would that be the straight answer and [color=\"#FFFFFF\"]CHICAGO[/color] be the 'Scrabble' answer?)

Seven letters...sometimes it's grand. [color=\"#FFFFFF\"]LARCENY[/color]

Thank you!  That's the word that was slipping my mind!  I knew I was missing something obvious.

(Incidentally, I think this is the first time I've ever seen a "create-your-own-X" thread on a forum before where I wasn't at all tempted to add anything of my own because the suggestions people were already making were pretty darn good.  Good work, people.)
