As if the Philadelphia Flyers' deranged, orange, hellbeast of a mascot couldn't get any more terrifying - he got his hands on an alligator.

What low has this country come to when far far too many people are so emotionality stunted they need a pet with them 24/7 to get thru their lives?

You say OMG! its WW3, like its a bad thing.. WW3 would be cleaning up a lot of junk akin to the show hoarders when they clean out a house.

The professional sports mascot is attracting attention to himself. What a jerk, he should be more low-key.

I loved The Broad Street Bullies, the first hockey team I cheered for.

They brought the whole city of Philadelphia together, when the rest of the Philly teams stank. Even black people in Philly loved them.
