Mascot's antics nearly cost D-League team a victory. "Da Bull was suspended for two games and assigned by the team to 50 hours of community service. A replacement mascot will perform in his absence." Replacement mascot? This just seems like an all-around weird story.

Comments

This is a story that demands video.

Well, our motto is keep Austin weird.

The big kerfuffle is a mascot ran onto the court with a whopping four-tenths of a second remaining on the clock to celebrate the win, inadvertantly collides with an opposing team's player and his head falls off -- and he gets a two-game suspension and 50 hours of community service? Christ, the guy made a mistake in jumping the gun. Back off a little. And anyhow, if your developmental team has a mascot that can dunk in a bull costume and yet you're still trying to devlop Loren Fucking Woods, I'd say you need to reevaluate your scouting staff.

inadvertantly collides with an opposing team's player and his head falls off Wow! That must have been a heck of a collision. Hope the Colorado player had life insurance for his family's sake.

bikenut stole my thunder, but I was about to say that if the guy can hang off the rim and take an opposing players head off, he should be starter in the NBA. the suspension and community service is just bull...

Will the Colorado player get to keep the steaks from the dead bull? and how much theropy are the bulls going to give the kids there. They after all see a decapitation

My concern is .. um... what the heck kind of a name is Colorado 14ers? Fourteeners? Really? What does that even mean? Philadeplphis 76ers I can see .... San. Fran. 49ers I get ... but 14ers?

14er refers to a mountain with elevation over 14,000'. Colorado has 53 mountains officially reaching this height. I agree, it's a dumb name for a basketball team!

He's no Cyril the Swan.

this is sweet!!

Weren't there any bridge highlights or tiddlywink injuries to report on? Ya talk about a slow news day! And yes, Colorado, we know there are mountains there.

He's no Cyril the Swan. Damn, now that is sweet. Anything stupid we can do, the Brits can better us tenfold. Hat's off to you, Cyril!

You can tell you're in the D-League when you're playing with a guy named Von Wafer. Fraze stole my thunder a bit, I was about to crow over a Loren Wood sighting.

Fraze stole my thunder a bit, I was about to crow over a Loren Wood sighting. and Rick Rickert. I thought we had a spofi thread once debating if Rickert should leave early for the pros or not but a search pulls up nothing.

Nevermind, that was the '03 draft and I've only been here since '05 and I don't think I lurked for that long so I'm just making stuff up.

Video. And Dennis Johnson (yes, that one) is the coach.
