Benny the Bull Accused of Assaulting KG

This Benny the Bull character is bad news, what with his drug dealing and fighting the police. So it doesn't surprise us that when a opposing team's player is assaulted in the middle of a game, he'd point his finger toward the bovine mascot.

Boston's Kevin Garnett and James Posey accused Benny the Bull of shooting T-shirts at them during the fourth quarter of last night's Bulls-Celtics game at the United Center. According to Bulls' senior director of public and media relations Tim Hallam, one of the IncrediBulls -- the ones who toss shirt to the crowd -- fired an errant shot with his t-shirt gun while tripping. And Benny just happened to to be in the general vicinity?

So both Posey and Garnett claim they were hit, yet the official story was that a single IncrediBull shooter was involved? Sounds like the Bulls hired the Warren Commission to look into this matter.

On the other hand, do KG and Posey really think Benny the Bull's weapon of choice would be made of cotton? His recent behavior suggests he'd resort to something a bit more likely to inflict damage.
