I've literally been waiting all year to post this:

Oh, my!

Did the Coca Cola Bear take some bad meds?

GO FALCONS!!
SWEEEEEEEEP THE NANOOOOOOOOOOOKS!!!!!

It's fun to watch it live at the arena.
Rather derivative, though - I've seen the same concept with the same music at other arenas and stadiums (stadia, if you insist).

LET'S GET A "W" OR TWO!!!!

All this time I thought it was their goaltender that was their biggest weapon. Now I know it's the exploding polar bear with a rocket-powered ass. You learn something new every day.

A video like that almost makes me glad we don't have any sort of a video board.

I... uh... um... Wow. There really are no words to describe how special that was.

Without music (I have no speakers at work) that is freaking hilarious!!!

Here's a rough description of the sound: part 1: The music the Bulls used to play for their intro. part 2: Highway to the Danger Zone from Top Gun. part 3: Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Add in polar bear growls and roars throughout and explosions when appropriate, and there you have it.

Even more hilarious!!!

Read the info in the sidebar. This is the one they didn't use. They eventually came to their senses and used one with a song that is totally immune to mockery.

...Dr. Feelgood.

Lots of scouts in the arena. Saw a Thrashers jacket and most of the central division.
