An Illinois dentist called a flagrant foul on Chicago Bulls' mascot Benny the Bull on Monday, suing the team over a high-five gone awry. Dr. Don Kalant Sr. alleged he was sitting near courtside on Feb. 12 when he raised his arm to get a high-five from Barry Anderson, who portrays the exuberant mascot in a bright red fuzzy costume.

But Kalant, an oral surgeon, may now wish he had settled for a fist-bump instead. Instead of merely slapping Kalant's palm, Anderson grabbed his arm as he fell forward, hyperextending Kalant's arm and rupturing his biceps muscle, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.

Kalant stayed for the rest of the game but later had surgery and could miss as much as four months of work, Kasserman said. Kalant is seeking unspecified damages for medical bills, physical pain and lost earnings. The lawsuit claims Anderson was negligent in either "falling forward while grabbing a fan's hand" or "running out of control" through the crowd according to the Chicago Tribune

What a baby.

Mess with the bull and you get the horns.
And a ruptured bicep.

Be careful folks, I wouldn't want you to sprain a finger while typing a response to my thread. I can't do court right now.

Way to neglect your patriotic duty. Terrorist.

Can anyone elucidate what rupturing a muscle entails? For all I know it's another word for a sprain or something but it sounds horrifying.

You know in Spider-Man 2 when he's trying to stop the train and we see a shot of the suit along his bicep starting to tear?

That's what it's like, only on the inside of his skin.
