If the Philadephia Flyers’ objective was to scare the living bejesus out of the next generation of would-be season ticket holders, they’ve succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest nightmares. The new mascot unveiled by the Flyers yesterday looks like Youppi!’s crystal meth-addicted cousin and begs the question, “Who was at the meeting where that was approved, and were they also on the pipe?” For the record, the new mascot’s name is “Gritty”, although “Creepy”, “Itchy” or “Grody” would all have been more suitable monikers.
