You forgot the original beef between Penguin Pete and Gritty where he literally said "sleep with one eye open bird."
Avery Petrazzi yeah he meant Iceberg, probably a Flyers fan lmao
@@mattgolden100 Either that or he doesn't watch hockey and only knows the name of the only mascot worth knowing about.
Im not from philly but i know their guy is called the philly fanatic jesus kid penguin pete !? Lol
You misspelled "Iceburgh"
Where tf did you get penguin Pete from.
Gritty cemented his spot when he fell on the ice and shot a dude in the back with a t-shirt gun on his first game. Lol the Scott Hartnell video is also a gem
I swear it always sounds like its 3 people in the studio audience 😂😂
And it's fake laughs too
There's 6
Camera person, producer, sound guy.
It's the Talk Soup formula, dude. It's been around a long time. Works for shows like this.
@D.Trizzy - Jump, here comes the point
Mascots are jealous about how much Meth Gritty can do.
Thats definitely it.
The nj devil can not just take grittys success ,:-0
This is the hard hitting journalism that ESPN needs more of. Should make a 30 for 30 about the mascot feud.
When they made the Phillie Phanatic, I always wondered if they would ever come out with another version and they did!
Novaura Autism Yep because in a way The Phillie Phanatic is more of a muppet than a mascot ! and Gritty was made in the same kind of image. Phillie Phanatic is fantastic and Gritty has taken root in Philadelphia Flyer land !!
Can't believe she didn't mention grittys attack on Pittsburgh's mascot on Twitter 😂 sleep with one eye penguin
"Sleep with one eye open, bird" lmfao
Comrade Gritty is a national treasure.
I hate Flyers, but I love Gritty (And yes, coming from Pens fan)
International treasure
I’m a lightning fan I ain’t a fan of the flyers. But god I can’t resist gritty.
He's far from a dirty commie
Cancer*
"...suddenly I'm beefing with an extremely furry lion and it's not Matt Patricia."
Also, I'm loving the NHL mascot drama this year. I shouldn't love it as much as I do.
The only time ESPN will ever discuss hockey... yet they talk about the mascots -_-
NBC is locked in to a tv deal with the NHL untill 2022, they have expressed interest in signing with the NHL again
The most notable thing that comes to mind about Harvey the Hound is the time he had his big tongue pulled out. During a game against their intra-provincial rival, the Edmonton Oilers, Harvey came too close to the glass by the Oilers bench, causing then-Oilers coach Craig Mactavish to yank out the tongue and toss it in the crowd. Unfortunately Twitter was still a few years off, so it was mostly heard about in just the hockey world.
This is good content. Screw all the haters.
My favorite was a tweet by the penguin saying like haha what are you
And gritty said sleep with one eye tonight bird
Gritty is still doing great things in the fan-less season. He had his portrait painted, for real and in real time, throughout a game last week.
lol I dont get all the hate for this show, is it cheesy sure, but thats what I like about it
Because there's a million other people who'd be better at it but they could never get the job because aren't hot. Imagine a woman who is hilarious, has an encyclopedic knowledge of sports but is ugly, she'd never get the job but a dude in the same position would be hired in a heartbeat.
@@neocitran9996 you have a fair point, but are you saying she isn't funny or that she doesn't know sports?
@@neocitran9996 There's no male hosts on ESPN? News to me.
@@neocitran9996 She's both funny and talented, i get why girls hate her because she's every man's fantasy (beauty & brain)
@@kamelkadri2843 ok bro she's still not going out with you
The Philly Union's mascot Phang was introduced about 14 days before Gritty... The poor bastard never had a chance, to be fair, he's a snake with arms... Gritty actually was in the River End at a Union game and got a warmer reaction than Phang.
That's what happens when you let kids choose the mascot...we would've been better off with a Ben Franklin impersonator or something...
I'm here for the Love Actually jokes.
Looks like the unholy love child of Yukon Cornelius and the Bumbles.
Holy shit that is really the perfect theory!
*The KC Mavericks ECHL mascot dressed up as Gritty for the Halloween game...*
"the Gila (pronounced HEE-la) monster has one of the worst reputations in the reptile world. This lizard is often feared and has been described as frightful and repulsive"
Don't get the hate for this show
This show needs to be cancelled. It's not funny.
Her FS1 show was just as bad, yet she got hired here. Pretty girl privilege is definitely a thing
Because its a lady talking about peoples sacred religion of Sports Ball. It's intolerable
Dubs Leffler It was actually funny
Topdamagewizard really because no one complains about Rachel Nichols
love love love her and this show!
God bless gritty
“ofcouse you missed it”
How much you wanna bet?
Slapshot doesn't have to stoop so low to diss Gritty, hes a Stanley Cup Champion
The Rachel McAdams Mean Girls pic in the end was the funniest.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the spat between Ej Hradek and Gritty
Every time my grandparents say Gritty is ugly “Excuse Me?”
Hockey fans really don't understand why ESPN is talking about our sport. You forgot us over a decade ago when you walked away from the broadcast deal with the NHL. Why do you keep trying to come back now that the league is more popular than ever? We gave up on you long ago.
And then they cut most of their adults who actually understand hockey and give us clowns like Nolan and that King Blogger they hired from Yahoo.
The red wings have one its Al the octopus
ALL HAIL OUR SAVIOR GRITTY
Katie, this is great journalism. You should talk about this on the Le Batard show.
Youppi’s cousin he doesn’t talk about.
I appreciated the Love Actually joke.
Katie I knew about the gritty and NJ devil video
Starting beef with Calgary by coming after our beloved municipal icon, Harvey, I see.
The world will NEVER get sick of Gritty !
Why does nobody mention howler or sparky?
They are awesome too.
Gnash for the Nashville predators has been the top mascot in recent years. He's the only one that averages top three in respective (not fan opinionated) polls. Plus, the story of when ground was broken for Bridgestone arena they found the skeleton fossil of a sabertooth tiger. Hence why Gnash is a sabertooth for our mascot.
Lmao this is hilarious
When did she get on ESPN?!?
ESPN has late night comedy shows??
Is that hockey arena in another stadium that isn't exclusively Ice Hockey? Cause aren't most crowd stands usually right up against the glass?
An ESPN show talking about something hockey related?
I can see someone setting him up like they did to Howler the Yeti . Started an altercation with him and had him scrapped
Harvey the hound is the first mascot in nhl history
Be thankful for the shout out, now people will have heard of him.
Some Guy most real hockey fans know who it is
He has 300 followers Calgary sucks
Massively
I had a stare down with Gritty at the All Star Fan Fair
Katie Nolan must be in love with Gritty or something...
Sharks mascot should be called Finley.
I feel like Gritty is about to get stabbed by that Devil...
the reason the devils mascot made that video is because they were playing the flyers that night but, alright
Benny the Bull is pretty fantastic as well.
Harvey the hound was the first NHL mascot. a little respect please.
I love gritty. As a Leafs fan I wish the Leafs had a mascot as cool as gritty
Gritty is loved, no idea who the others are.
Legit can't ttell if this is a work by the NHL or not.
6:27 That applies to the WNBA players too lol
Get more people in the audience! Katie is very funny!
The owners of the Philadelphia 76ers also own the NJ Devils . They rent space from the Flyers owners ( Comcast ) . Was that symbolic when the Devil smashed the TV with a sledge hammer ?
Thanks for that.
Okay but did any of you see the trade deadline mascot because holy shit that thing is nightmare fuel.
Best Show On ESPN next to Highly Questionable. #MakeSportsFunAgain
Harvey the Hound is the OG, he doesn't need to worry about the frivolous nonsense that is Gritty.
The Red Wings have a mascot- the Octopus!
Al.
Pittsburgh has Iceburgh and Pirate Parrot
those 2 are the scariest tag team theyll sell your organs on the deep web lol
You’re right Katie, Twitter isn’t for fun, silly beef between mascots.
The girls behind the social media presence for Gritty are f'ing brilliant. They've got him somewhere between goofy, scary, and snarky AF.
Gritty is my favorite thing to ever be created
5:06 So that’s TWO windows that NJ Devil can completely shatter
Gritty is bringing a ton of attention to the NHL, especially from non-NHL fans. The league is SMART for talking about Gritty a lot because, well, so is everyone else. It's a smart PR move to put a lot of effort into showcasing what is obviously showing to be popular. The other mascots should be happy in the fact that they will get more attention because Gritty is getting attention. No need for a pissing battle unless they're trying to fabricate a rivalry that no one will care about.
*Howler the Coyote left the chat*
I’m made I watched this this whole video. More importantly, I’m mad that I enjoyed watching it.
What size is that Samsung monitor?? 200 inches?
It's a touch screen television. 80 inches I'm guessing.
Works better if you have sound.
Gritty is that dude ri now👑👑👑
Name of McTitty at 3:22?
I would love to know as well.
You know the team's bad when all the press is about the mascot.
The team is actually pretty hot. Check their record for the second half of the year.
Wow... Really throwing shade at Harvey like that, eh? She was 100% a mean girls style bully in high school.
And she clearly never grew up.
Gritty is the kinda shit that gives kids.....and adults, nightmares for weeks
Jeez, back to back Dark Knight references
it's "heela" monster, katie!!
Nice to know I'm not the only one who cringed on that one
6:50 is what I did with the pats
Love Gritty 💕
They just jelly because Gritty runs Fur County now!!!
5:02
Bailey's from LA, he should know the star always gets special treatment.
Seriously though, the reason Gritty has been treated the way he has by the league is because he's more popular than the other mascots. I can see how that rankles a lot of the other teams/mascots, but it is what it is. (and the Flyers aren't even my team)
Umm technically the redwings do have a mascot the big ass inflatable octopus, al. Technically it’s not a costume but still they have one, the rangers are the only team without a mascot
Not anymore the red wings sold all the octopus to the highest bidder
Why an octopus? Why not any kind of red winged creature? Smh
Laurentius their fans used to throw octopi on the ice so it just kinda stuck
Laurentius Back during the original 6 you only needed 8 wins to win the Stanley Cup so each leg represented a win. The Red Wings just went with it and they have been throwing Octopi ever since
Larry the Lobster there were two though, they sold the one at the Joe. I think it fetched like $7k?
Well when the best part of your city is a mascot...
Gritty needs to check his privilege.
That was a joke.
I'm triggered
Gritty doesn't give a flying F about offending anybody. He has a retainer with the same legal council that the Phanatic uses.
This is the funniest thing ever! Poor mascots, not getting enough attention? THEN DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE AND INTERESTING!! 4 days a week, during this quarantine, Gritty does a 15 minute, USUALLY interactive, live chat on Instagram. What are you doing to keep your fans motivated? What are you doing for your fans, PERIOD? Gritty is the best mascot because he DOES stuff.
I'm just glad my guy Nordy is above all of this.
My only beef with Gritty is that if he's allowed to be around the NBA should've let the REAL Pierre the Pelican prosper.
Instead he was retconned and replaced with Launchpad McQuack: The College Years.
It's good to see everyone has moved off discussing Katie's appearance. I like these clips, I think they're a good change of pace to all the Herd, FTF and such.
Anyone knows the purpose of a sports mascot?
Please bring slapshot back he was the goat !
That’s our mascot!!! Lol that’s funny (devils mascot)
I mean I just see a 22 bullets type scene where gritty goes into a parking garage and there all waiting for him, with Italian music playing as they shoot him up. czcams.com/video/P7oIyTCJEuk/video.html , please Always Late with Katie Nolan remake this with gritty and the other mascots.
Well she put the #AskingFor28 in their place.
This is so Philadelphia if You ask me.
