Mascot Tough: Burnie, The Heat Mascot, Who Conor McGregor Sent To The ER Will Be Back On The Court If There's A Game 6

You may remember this clip from the weekend: 

Well good news. If there's a game 6 Burnie is coming back. That's a little thing with call intestinal fortitude. That's something you can't teach. Shit, even Spo had something to say about it: 

Yeah I'm pretty sick about the whole Heat culture thing, but this should be celebrated. I don't know why a mascot would agree to take a punch from McGregor (or anyone really). This is the fear of doing that. You get caught in the wrong part of the costume and next thing you know you're in the ER. Maybe just take the night off and say hey I don't want to get punched. Can we get someone else to get punched? Then when everyone else says no you point out that's exactly why. 

But this is also the NBA Finals. This is no time for rest. You can't have load management. You have to leave it all out on the floor. So if the Heat win tonight and come back home for game 6 Burnie will be waiting for them. I say, fuck that. Bring him to game 5. I don't know about travel after an ER trip, but you gotta get him on the team plane. Teach the team a thing or two about resiliency. 

Here's how I know I've watched too much wrestling in my life though. I'm still not convinced this isn't fake. Oh he just so happened to go to the ER? Yeah, I saw Stone Cold attack Vince there before. But I know everyone is saying it's real. I also just assume it's real because you can't make this up. Just please win, Denver. I can't have the Heat with any sort of life.
