As a Chicago Bulls fan, this season can best be described as frustrating. I've made it out to a whole bunch of games this year (thanks to a "perhaps shady" contact), and enjoyed most of my time spent at the United Center. For anyone who has attended a Chicago Bulls game before, you know that half of the fun (more than half for some) is what's going on during time-outs and in between quarters, on the court and on the jumbo-tron. At a recent game, I had the pleasure of seeing this during every game break.
But I really shouldn't complain too much... there was that five minutes during the halftime show where the man-wall disappeared, only to return with one beer for each hand.
One more Bulls note. I woke up the other day, and did a double take when I glanced in the mirror. This really happened without any alteration of my hair.
It's a sign.
I also heard that Benny the Bull makes $200,000 a year. That is so awesome. He earns every cent.
Listening to a female pig-dog snore,

I'm saying! Benny is, hands down, THE best mascot in professional sports. You know I work at the UC (if you're on the 200 level come to the Chicago Stadium Club!) and Benny is awesomely entertaining.
I feel your pain mark especially being someone who grew up in the micheal jordan era. and it just seems like the team just doesnt wanna win anymore :(. but i have always loved benny and the luvabulls the fat swlolling tummy's of tha matadors. its just simply badass lol. and dont be surprised the next show i come to a pair of chicago bulls horns come flying by you. :). love jim
$200 Grand a year?
duuuude,
you should take over Benny's position when he retires....you know, if that whole rocker deal doesn't work out. =]
You have a way with words, Mark. Good stuff, as usual.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Boston Beatdown Tuesday.
Benny did play a nasty April Fools joke by missing the rim on his half time trampoline dunk and acting like he broke his leg. He writhed on the floor in agony until a bunch of guys rushed out to help him. They rushed over and carried him out down a tunnel and the whole place was silent. A few seconds went by and he burst out of the tunnel with a sign over his head saying "April Fools."
I must admit, he got me.
