Mascots and Mini-Motorcycles

What is it with NBA mascots and mini-motorcycles these days? I mean, if they’re not busy cruisin’ the streets for hookers, they’re off roughing up police officers. Jeesh…

“A Chicago Bulls mascot dressed in a bright red costume was charged with attacking an off-duty officer after driving a mini-motorcycle through an outdoor festival.

Barry Anderson, the Benny the Bull mascot, was charged with misdemeanor battery and driving within a parkway. The 26-year-old man is accused of throwing a punch at the sheriff’s deputy, knocking off his glasses and breaking his watch.”

And in related news, Minnesota Timberwolves mascot, Crunch, was arrested over the weekend after he crashed his luxury mini-motorcycle into a parked Suburban while masturbating.

    “In 2005, another Bulls mascot, Da Bull, was sentenced to probation for 1 1/2 years for possession of cannabis with intent to deliver.”

    I liked that part, too.

    And why the hell does Crunch not wear any pants?

    What is it with mascots and mini-motorcycles you say? I think anyone with two brain cells to rub together can tell you the answer: profiling. It’s got to stop, people. Enough is enough!

    So, I guess Benny the Bull now has the most street cred out of all the mascots in the lig. Clearly, AI needs to join Big Ben in Chi-town to make this truly complete.

    when i heard this report on the radio i thought they were talking about ben wallace…that would have been an inauspicious introduction.
