Deep Blue Sea: Gritty’s Big Day, Part 2
Gritty’s first week of existence has been absolutely wild.
First, the viral sensation was on Good Morning America:
He then set the tone for what having a Philadelphia Flyers mascot is going to be like by uh... dumping a giant bag of popcorn on some New York Rangers fans during a preseason game. And somehow Gritty is the one with a security crew.
After that, he made his way onto Jimmy Fallon where he showed up just to fight Ricky Gervais?
The Gritty fever after that seems unending. Someone got a tattoo of Gritty’s face. Then Gritty met Philadelphia’s other iconic mascot, the Philles Phanatic, and did what might be some sort of bizarre mating ritual with him.
