To start with: It’s cute that this man’s nickname is “Toots.” Secondly, CHICKEN NUGGET PENALTY! I don’t have any inside data of the huge historical past of sports activities penalties to lookup each penalty ever dedicated, however I feel it’s secure to imagine that that is the primary time a hen nugget has resulted in a participant being assessed with a sport misconduct cost.
That is only a missed advertising alternative. Each week followers may line up and have hen nuggets blasted at their face gap with a slap shot. When you catch the nugget you get free hen for all times.
