Hello. I am here to talk to you all about Gritty.
The Flyers’ new mascot was unveiled this week, and it turns out that he’s everything that was missing from our lives.
Behold Gritty, in all his furry ginger muppet glory.
It me. #Gritty pic.twitter.com/HfTMVtEAFy

I. LOVE. HIM.
Gritty seems to be settling well into his new role as the face of Philadelphia hockey.

To my friends, the Day Ones & the Day Twos:
As I sit here, I realize that you all woke up on Monday morning not knowing me. And now I’m here – graciously checked blue and featured on late night TV.
But Philly, I am here for you. You’re my city & the @NHLFlyers my team.

Philadelphia 24 hours ago: “What is this abomination of a mascot? What were they thinking?”
Philadelphia now: “I would take a bullet for Gritty”

Me: Ok, I’m thinking of someone.

If anybody needs me, I’ll be over here thinking about my new spirit animal, Gritty.

Welcome To The Space Jam
In case you missed it, there’s a new member of the Toon Squad in town.
That’s right; King James is on board the Space Jam sequel, which is expected to come out in 2019.

As usual, The Onion had a brutal yet fair take to offer.

Tim Tebow’s workout music preferences both do and do not surprise me (though honestly, same).
First I was like >:( but then I was like :’D
