  From Marc Spears on the Globe Celtics blog - "Benny the Bull may comment later today, but says he is innocent of all charges. 

  However, according to the Bulls officials, Benny does not speak and conduct interviews."

  Bulls mascots have a long history or malfeasance. Besides the mentioned mini-motorcycle attack, Da Bull once got busted for selling pot:

  "Now the team has learned that its mascot, 'Da Bull,' has been busted for allegedly selling marijuana from his car.

  He was not dressed as a bull at the time of his arrest."

  I wish someone would have taken aim at the Bulls team before the disaster of a season started.

... run afoul of the law. In 2006, Benny was charged with attacking an off-duty police officer by punching a sheriff's deputy who was working at an outdoor festival. And after seeing Benny appear on a recent episode of the Jerry Springer show, I can only come to the conclusion that this is one seriously messed up Bull, and one that should probably be kept as far away from NBA players as possible.
