How the Chicago Bulls are in prime position to take over (They’re really not.)

Phase 4: Bring in Mr. Met

After his fall from grace earlier this week, Mr. Met is in the early stages of a divorce with Mrs. Met. Now, we’ve seen the video, and if you haven’t, don’t. It is simply too disturbing and too heinous for human eyes. I considered not attaching the video, but we’re journalists here at Pippen Ain’t Easy; not all stories are easy, but we’re trusted with the truth.

If you’re not familiar with the story, the New York Mets were in the midst of a 7-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers when famed mascot, Mr. Met, flipped the bird to some fans who caught it on video (SEE BELOW).

Since, Mr. Met has apologized in the best ways possible, but he is either mute or just very stubborn, so we can only assume.

While his days at Citi Field appear to be numbered, the Bulls may find some value in the fallen star. Benny the Bull is clearly a Chicago icon, but Batman needs his Robin. Bringing in Mr. Met’s chain smoking and leather-pants wearing off-the-field life, good guy Benny has a partner in crime.

Plus, it’s more sightly than the Cubs mascot that doesn’t wear any pants (seriously, a pair of shorts wouldn’t kill ya, pal).

How it works: After a long phone call, Benny gets Mr. Met to volunteer his time to joining the reloaded Chicago Bulls.
