Luckily his fur is flame retardant and several patrons pinned him to the ground and sang him Aerosmith songs until he felt better,\u201d said Franklin\u2019s mother and owner Mary Rexall. This time around, Franklin seems very upset that Ben Simmons is going to be traded and DM&#8217;ed the Phanatic some really dark shit. \u201cFranklin and Ben had this tradition they would do every Tuesday morning: they would each get a Santucci\u2019s original pizza and dump a can of Friskies Ocean Whitefish cat food on it,\u201d detailed Rexall. Rexall is asking fans to send Franklin videos of themselves eating this special treat to help him get through this tough time. Also, if Franklin\u2019s favorite singer Steven Tyler is reading this, it might be cool if you sent The Satirer some $$$ so we can produce a few high-quality pizza videos to cheer Franklin up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILADELPHIA&#8211; Franklin is once again feeling the pressure of working in a city alongside two of the most iconic mascots in professional sports. \u201cHe threatened&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1250,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[94,3],"tags":[390,392,151,393,391],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.12 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Can We Help?
