Around SBN: Two Minutes Of Thunder Basketball Wins The Game

Funny stuff on basketbawful, on mascot's and their hilarious antics...here's one of his top 4 (or 5 if you count da bull). Thought it was hilarious..and being a Benny fan, i enjoyed the read.

Excerpt:

On July 2, 2006, Benny (portrayed by Barry Anderson) was arrested by an off-duty police officer while performing at the Taste of Chicago. Dressed in full mascot regalia, Anderson zoomed his miniature motorcycle through the festival -- be prepared to gasp -- without the required permit. (The city of Chicago takes its miniature motorcycling very seriously.) When the officer, who was providing security at the event, identified himself as a Po-Po and ordered Anderson to stop, Anderson beat a very brave retreat. The officer pursued on foot and (amazingly) caught up to Anderson, who punched him in the face, knocking off the officer's glasses and breaking his watch. (Apparently he was wearing the watch on his face.) According to Anderson, he was just acting "in character." (Because, as everyone knows, Benny the Bull is a notorious cop-puncher.) Anderson was charged with two offenses: Misdemeanor battery and driving within the parkway. Those charges were later dropped.

EDIT: While I'm at it..and still laughing at the Jerry Springer throwback..im wondering...

Shouldn't Benny be mad cuz D. Rose took his jersey number???
