Hey Titus, watch those high fives!!

Although he looks like one of the extras from 300, as far as I know, New York Titans mascot, Titus, has yet to cause any bodily harm to anyone at a Titans game. Again, that I know of.

But with the story comin’ outta Chicago this week, the burly, non-fearing Titus, will need to keep those high fives he’s hittin’ the kids with in check, unless he wants to appear in court (which would actually be pretty funny, if he showed up in his Titus gear in front of a judge, so really it’s  a win-win as far as I’m concerned).

Anyways, a Chicago area man is suing the Chicago Bulls for a high five that went awry.

Dentist Don Kalant Sr. is claiming that the Bull’s mascot, Benny the Bull, gave him such a monster high five, that it actually tore his bicep.

“Benny’s flying down the aisle, giving everybody high-fives,” Kalant’s attorney, Shawn Kasserman, said Monday in a telephone interview. “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.”

Anyways Titus, just wanted to make sure you had a heads up on this since this weekend’s crowd at MSG will hopefully be rocking the casba pretty hard and I’m sure you’ll be throwin’ those high fives out like Maddalena was tossin’ the heat last week.
