Guess who's back? Back again. Mascots Power Rankings are back. Tell a friend. Yes, we know the rankings were non-existent last week, but fear not because "Masc-Scott" is back from his hiatus and ready to rank mascots once again.
This is the second edition of the rankings of this season and if you're new to the program, here's how it works. "Masc-Scott" searches the internet for the best mascot moments from the past 7 days and ranks the mascots accordingly based on a number of factors that are kept a secret at this moment in time. For this week, though, we're going back two weeks due to the week off.
It's important to know that it doesn't matter if you think the Phillie Phanatic is the best mascot in sports because if it didn't do anything this past week, it's not making the top-ten. On that note, here's the new top-ten that features just two mascots from the rankings two weeks ago. Enjoy!
10. Stuff The Magic Dragon, Orlando Magic (Up 6 spots)
"Masc-Scott" is a huge wrestling fan from what we understand and seeing mascots like Stuff The Magic Dragon put their body on the line for pure entertainment purposes is something he respects a lot.
9. Bango, Milwaukee Bucks (Down 4 spots)
Bango is one of two mascots making an appearance for the second week in a row, but the Bucks' mascot moved down a few spots this time around. Still, that shot was impressive enough to earn an invitation to the party.
8. Hooper, Detroit Pistons (Up 22 spots)
Whenever the Pistons win, they release a satisfying and funny video such as this one featuring their mascot Hooper.
7. The Tiger, Clemson Tigers (Up 111 spots)
Any mascot that keep up with Dabo Swinney (or at least come close to keeping up) deserves a spot in the top-ten.
6. Benny The Bull, Chicago Bulls (Up 77 spots)
If we had stealth skills like Benny the Bull, let's just we'd be very rich.
5. Sabretooth, Buffalo Sabres (Up 29 spots)
Not many mascots go at the best in the game and live to talk about. Sabretooth went at Gritty and froze the Flyers' mascot. That's big time.
4. Bailey, Los Angeles Kings (Up 11 spots)
Have you ever seen a bigger pie tossed on fans of an opposing team? As the old saying goes, that's how you take out a handful of Avalanche fans with one pie.
3. Stanley C. Panther, Florida Panthers (Up 45 spots)
Stanley C. Panther forgot how to stop and we, along with the Panthers' mascot, loved it!
2. The Raptor, Toronto Raptors (Up 87 spots)
When The Raptor is on the court, nobody is safe and everyone is entertained.
1. Gritty, Philadelphia Flyers
Once again, Gritty takes the crown and once again, it wasn't a particularly close race. The Flyers' mascot celebrated Thanksgiving, but the highlight of the past two weeks in the Gritty-verse was this tweet: Gritty has our vote for Person of the Year.
