ASU's Sparky Running For County Supervisor

Described as an up-and-coming Democrat, 24-year old Ed Hermes was Arizona State's mascot for four years before graduating in 2006, and a one-time contestant on MTV's Room Raiders.

He is looking to become Maricopa County's Board of Supervisors' youngest member ever.

From ASUWebDevil:

Volunteers, including many Sun Devils, are rallying behind Hermes’ campaign in the same way that he used to rally the crowd at athletic events.

His other experience, that of playing hours and hours of 'Halo,' apparently has county gamers torn.

A mailer by his opponent compares the two candidates' records:

BEST. MAIL PIECE. EVER.

More Legal Woes for Benny the Bull

The fuzzy red mascot who once was popped for punching a sheriff's officer is up to his old antics again.

A Naperville, IL oral surgeon is claiming the Bulls' mascot, Benny the Bull, negligently injured his arm:

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. 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.

Says the surgeon's lawyer, "Benny's flying down the aisle, giving everybody high-fives. When he gets to Dr. Kalant, he either inadvertently trips or, as part of the shtick, trips. . . . He grabbed Kalant's arm and fell forward."

IT'S STUPID MASCOT DANCING TIME! STUPID MASCOT DANCING TIME!
