    Swoop is ok.  Sure, he finishes behind the fearsome duo of Gritty and Phanatic, but he is better than many team mascots.  (As far as such things go)

    My favorite teams all have worse ones.  

    My dream of 49ers visiting for NFC championship game took a big hit.  Still possible but inexperienced qb play is never a good thing.  If we had Hurts we would be unstoppable!  ;)

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Swoop is fine. You can only have one Philly Phanatic. And Gritty is a helluva second mascot here. We are certainly mascot central USA. 

    Eliza from WOD said on The Ricky Jordan Mailata should quit football and become a singer. Hope he doesn’t listen!
    The Hawk is 2nd.   Gritty blows.

    Haha.  I forgot who the Hawk even was.  Nobody outside this area would quickly know what that is.
    Gritty is a psychotic sort of figure but one that quickly won national attention.
    He is better than Flyers hockey right now.

    Gritty has been better than the Flyers since literally his debut.

    To be fair, hasn't pretty much everything been better than the Flyers since well before Grits?

    Nice. Just listened to some of it. I guess I just assumed she was one of the members of that band who did back up vocals on I Don't Live Here Anymore....

    No that was Lucious (sp?) - Eliza plays keys I think. In January it kinda sounded like the Lucious part of that song was played as a pre-recording. (okay that sounds conspiratorial, just the impression I got)

    Correct. But also my hot take here is - the Flyers will never be as popular as their mascot.

    They were massive in SW Philly in the 80s. Nobody liked Brian Propp though. To paraphrase Buddy Ryan, all he did was score goals.

    They were massive in SW Philly in the 80s. Nobody liked Brian Propp though. To paraphrase Buddy Ryan, all he did was score goals.

    They were popular in the 90's as well with the Legion of Doom line (Lindros, LeClair and Renberg) and made it to the finals once.

    Great win yesterday, very dominant. As Cutz pointed out aside from the offside penalties almost a perfect win.

    Anyone else think Dallas signing OBJ will turn out disastrously? (no I have no news on this but I'm sure they will sign him)

    Man U is about to sell for 7 billion. Ronaldo was just offered $200 million a year, so no
