Flash Fox is the mascot for the Utah Flash, a team in the NBA's D-League. He is also currently living atop a billboard.
From Skeets comes the news that Flash began his stay on a billboard on I-15 in American Fork, Utah, in an effort to help sell tickets. His goal: 500 Utah Flash season tickets. And he's not coming down until that's reached.
At last count, he has about 120 tickets to go.
Despite the slow sales, the stubborn mammal appears to be in good spirits. With a small rocking chair, a tent and a laptop, he's stayed busy by chatting with fans online and broadcasting his day-to-day actions over UStream ... According to the Flash's official website, this is the first time a mascot has taken up temporary residence on a billboard.
Fortunately, the weekend weather forecast looks pretty good. But maybe Flash is better off hundreds of feet off the ground. At least up there, he doesn't have to worry about a tussle with Green Man.
