Martellus Bennett – aka “Black Unicorn” – saves a fan, gets the animated super hero treatment (VIDEO)
(via juanelway.com)
Giants tight end Martellus Bennett has a reputation as a colorful guy, always reliable for a good quote or tweet, and even going so far as to give himself the nickname “Black Unicorn”.
After the Giants’ 38-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, Bennett made headlines for saving a middle-aged man who fell from the stands when Bennett threw his gloves into the crowd. Afterward, Bennet said he “tapped into my inner super hero, which I do have”, quickly springing into action to catch the man before he could hit the ground.
“I’m usually a ninja, but my Spidey-senses told me he was going to take a fall, so I saved his life. He owes me his firstborn or something. Actually, I don’t want that. Maybe a sandwich or something.”
Well fortunately for us, Black Unicorn told the story to the guys at TheNOC, who give Bennett the animated super hero treatement, bringing his words to life through vivid, poorly drawn animation. It’s pretty great:

I kind of want to hang out with Martellus Bennett
Dallas Cowboys’ second-year TE Martellus Bennett has joined Chris Cooley as one of the NFL’s pre-eminent bloggers. Bennett has a ridiculous blog for the Dallas Morning News, in which he covers a myriad of topics ranging from girls farting in cars to why black people love chicken (ed. note: I wish I was kidding. Those are real posts by Bennett), and is also active Twitterer.
Today, Bennett posted this video, bringing you along for the ride on the Cowboys’ first tour of the Jerry Jones’ new $1.5 billion-dollar stadium:
Bennett just seems like he’d be a fun guy to be around. Despite the semi-racist impression of the Chinese, he really committed to the MTV Cribs-style tour, teaching us about the ostrich seats and elephant tusk urinals in his new pad. And the guy clearly he has NO filter. I figure if you were to go out on the town with Bennett, you’re probably in for a good time.
On another note, at least now we know how Jerry Jones plans to pay for the stadium. With $14 hamburgers & $9 beers. I guess it’s par for the course in the NFL these days, and it is a nice place, but man … with skyrocketing PSLs and ticket prices, people are going to have to choose between season tickets and putting their kids through college.
