The first fumble of Super Bowl Sunday belonged to Mayor Bill de Blasio — who dropped the Staten Island Zoo’s groundhog early Sunday morning.
De Blasio was trying to handle Staten Island Chuck when the anxious animal squirmed right out of the mayor’s hands and fell on his noggin.
“Next year they’ll need a net,” said Ann Jackman, who was at the park with her 14-year-old daughter.
“Look how tall he is. Can you imagine falling from that height?”

De Blasio was wearing gloves that resembled the glove worn by a hockey goaltender.

You know I don’t care for this guy, but the one quick glance I saw of the clip made it look like the Groundhog said “Screw this I am outta here” and jumped ?

I'm surprised at the headline coming from the NY Post. Staten Island Chuck has been at this for a while and his name should've been in the headline and he 1st paragraph.
Leave out the mayor's name.

The most important question from my family is: “Is the groundhog all right?”
