Chicago mascot Benny the Bull is in trouble again. Fan IQ has the details:
"The badass mascot of the Chicago Bulls - Benny the Bull - is in trouble yet again. And this time, it's personal! Well, not really, but he's managed to get the Bulls sued.
How so?Dr. Don Kalant Sr. alleged he was sitting near courtside on Feb. 12 when he raised his arm to get a high-five from Barry Anderson, who portrays the exuberant mascot in a bright red fuzzy costume.
Instead of merely slapping Kalant's palm, Anderson grabbed his arm as he fell forward, hyperextending Kalant's arm and rupturing his biceps muscle, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court."
And as alluded to, this isn't the first time that trouble has found Benny the Bull. As Fan IQ points out:
"1. In 2005, Benny, then known as Da Bull, was sentenced to probation for 1½ years for possession of cannabis with intent to deliver. I have no idea if he was in the uniform or not when he was busted, but I'd like to think so.
2. In 2006, Benny - in full uniform - was caught riding a mini-motorcycle at an outdoor festival. When an off-duty police officer tried to stop Benny, he ran. Because we all know a mascot is impossible to pick out in a crowd. Then to top it all off, Benny slugged the cop when he was finally tracked down. He was charged with misdemeanor battery and driving within a parkway without a permit.
3. He then got into a brawl on Jerry Springer.
4. And he also shot Kevin Garnett and James Posey in the back with a t-shirt gun. Garnett wasn't too pleased - "We exchanged words." While Posey was a total wuss - 'I feel a little sore in one spot. I might have to get treatment.'"

Shilpan,
Thanks for the Hindi song. But I don't speak Hindi, I speak Punjabi. And Sikhs don't like sad songs anyway. We're joyous people. So here's a happy Punjabi song for you:

Do any of you people give a d*** about basketball?!? Maybe Mr. "Steep el" and his small-time first-round-exit-program.
