Utah Jazz Mascot Gets the Better of Fan in Bizarre Altercation at Midcourt [UPDATE]

All, Fans, Mascots, NBA, Video Jason McIntyre January 19th. 2011, 12:10pm

If you’re going to try and rumble with a mascot, make sure you don’t end up humiliating yourself, like this clown. Give the Cavs’ fan credit for having the temerity to attack the mascot at center court, I guess. [via Hot Clicks] [UPDATE: A Jazz spokesman has chimed in on the fracas. It's fake, as many of you suspected.]

I would have used her thighs as earmuffs in the mid-90s though. Something about raspy voiced brunettes. So long as the raspy isn’t a by-product of Virginia Slim 100s.

I’m a Republican, but I can get behind this. In the end, we’re all Bears fans. He’s long been a Bears fan and I respect the fact that he stayed out of the Blackhawks championship last year since he’s not a hockey guy.

No doubt, I would have done wonderful things to her when she was on Lois and Clark. But she was topless in one movie (google her, it’s not difficult to find) and I have to say I was not impressed by what I saw.

you’re right, petrino’s completely up front about his bullshit.
considering tressel’s proposal to the players and the fact they returned, id say he didn’t really snake around at all.
