Benny the Bull does Springer
Published 3/5/2008 by DCScrap at on 205th
FanIQ brings us this clip of the Chicago Bulls mascot on The Jerry Springer Show . It's a clip that the Bulls show at halftime of some of their games in an effort to keep the fans from leaving with the Bulls down by 20 I assume. Now you might wonder why a mascot would be on Springer. Well, considering the Bulls' mascot history of attacking off-duty policemen and selling marijuana , it's not that much of a stretch.

From the Chicago Bulls' halftime scoreboard, via the glorious 100% Injury Rate: Let me take this opportunity to thank you all for being on the show and good luck in the decision you make. I hope you make the playoffs. You know we wonder why they stay. Why a mascot puts up with such outrageous mistreatment. The world tells them they're crazy and they ought to move on; but they respond to such overwhelming logic with a seeming innocence of romance. 'But I love them,' they say without actually saying it. (They can’t talk.) But is it love or is it dependency based on insecurity? 'Gosh, if they leave me I’ll ...

E and I saw this clip up on the scoreboard at the United Center back in January and we were like: “Duuuuude, this would be so great for our BLOG!” Well, a nice, neat clip of it was unearthed on YouTube by 100% Injury Rate at FanIQ and wabam, it’s time to display it here in all it’s glory. Personal anecdote time! In high school during off-campus lunch, we watched Springer religiously — even going so far as to call for tickets to the show during said lunch break. The line was always — I mean always — busy. However, one fateful day my buddy got through, but apparently you needed two phone numbers or something ...

Hasn't Benny The Bull Suffered Enough? [Jilted Mascots]

First of all, fighting a giant inflatable version of yourself is nothing unique; I have that dream about every other night. Secondly, you're the Chicago Bulls mascot ... the fact that your girlfriend is sleeping around is the least of your problems. If you can't see the video for some reason, what we have here is Benny the Bull on The Jerry Springer Show, being told by his girlfriend that there's "someone else." That someone is a larger, plastic Benny the Bull, and of course violence ensues. But there are so many ways that it could have been funnier. The girlfriend's new guy could have been Steely McBeam, for instance. Or Bill Belichick. Of course ...

Wednesday Bullets

Oklahoma City voters vote overwhelmingly to raise and spend $121 million or so on arena upgrades and a practice facility for an NBA team to be named later, but likely named the SuperSonics. Steve Kerr tells ESPN's Chad Ford that the Suns have lacked a clear leadership structure among the players. More fallout from Dirk Nowitzki's takedown of Andrei Kirilenko. A mess of numbers in support of the notion that giving the open man the ball helps your team win. Also, from reading this I learned about the Prisoner's Dilemma. Very interesting. One thing worth adding to the mix of this conversation is that players playing for free -- without the monetary impetus ...

Benny the Bull on the Jerry Springer Show

Filed under: Bulls, NBA Videos For some inexplicable reason, I find team mascots learning of their girlfriend's cheating on national television highly entertaining. The funniest part? That this struck me as being no more staged than anything else I've seen on that show. [via 100% Injury Rate] Permalink | Email this | Comments
