my headline was better

brainiac-dumdum: my headline was better

No. No it wasn't. Not by a long chalk.

Mike_LowELL: Greenpeace will violently resolve this matter.

Not if PETA gets there first...

Playing the "Batman" theme right afterwards was sweet.

on Halloween? ...really?

It's almost a dead certainty that someone brought a bat from home and released it as a prank.

yes it was, infinity

Next week: injured reserve (rabies)

"I don't believe what I just saw!"

Waittaminnit.

There is a Batman costume and net for the mascot reserved for just such an occasion?

So 'man would you blow me' has rabies now. Woo-Hoo!

PeTA's gonna have a goddamned field day. If they got all salty about Obama swatting a fly, I'm sure their collective panties are already in a big, wet knot.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope.

After the game Ginobilli said "It flew by, so I took a swing and luckily connected". Ginobili then flung himself out of the locker room, slid backward onto a bus, and tumbled wildly into his suburban home.

TFA doesn't specify, but I'm assuming that was a publicity stunt? Halloween, mascot dressed as Batman... Or is it just fairly common for bats to be in the arena?

At one time birds were big problem, shiating all over visiting teams

Don't keep us guessing, lets see them both and judge for ourselves.

In the arena? I'm not sure. In the area? Absolutely. Mexican free-tail bats are very common throughout the region (see the Congress Avenue Bridge in Austin), so it's not exactly a stretch to imagine a bat getting into the AT&T Center.

FritztheCat: Rip bat

TY, i was worried that someone would forget.

RIP SPACE BAT

I'm more afraid of catching rabies than the bat. At least I would think it's rabid if it's not afraid to be out when the stadium is not empty.

Uh no, practically every large venue here has a bat problem at one time or another. We are only about 10 miles from the largest Freetail colony in North America. Additionally, the bat was also at the hockey game the day before.

Bats are common here. Sorry to belabor the point...

the best part, which the video doesn't show, was Dejuan Blair flinching like a little girl as the bat flew by him before Manu killed it...
