Who loves mascots? We love mascots!
That's right our Mascot Power Rankings are BACK and we've got a little format change. Instead of every week, we're going to give the mascots of the sports world a little longer to wow us.
So, every two weeks "Masc-Scott" will give us the all-secret, all-important rankings and we'll share them with the world. A reminder, this isn't a popularity contest. Mascots have to "wow" us with what they do every day to be featured on the list. If you've been keeping track, Gritty has been on top since the rankings returned, but maybe this is the week someone knocked the Flyers' mascot off.
10. Rampage, Los Angeles Rams (Up 235 spots)
Winning mascots make the rankings and regardless of how it happened, Rampage and the Rams are in the Super Bowl.
9. G-Wiz, Washington Wizards (Up 110 spots)
The Wizards and Knicks squared off in a game in London and G-Wiz helped recreate an iconic album cover.
8. Bernie, Colorado Avalanche (Up 29 spots)
The #BirdBoxChallenge took on a whole new identity when Bernie actually boxed while blindfolded and ended up taking out a Wild fan.
7. The Raptor, Toronto Raptors (Up 63 spots)
Speaking of online challenges, the #10YearChallenge is one that is sweeping the internet and The Raptor had a lot of fun with it in a unique way.
6. Youppi! Montreal Canadiens (Up 40 spots)
It was Youppi's! 40th birthday and the legendary mascot celebrated the incredible occasion with a number of other mascots!
5. Pat Patriot, New England Patriots (Up 87 spots)
Not only are the Patriots in the Super Bowl, but their mascot is tough as nails. Unfortunately Pat was taken to hospital after this hit, but New England's mascot has some time to recover before the big game.
4. Benny The Bull, Chicago Bulls (Up 8 spots)
Name a more legendary jersey swap. We'll wait.
3. NJ Devil, New Jersey Devils (Up 7 spots)
NJ Devil has made its dislike of Gritty clear, but this video was next level savagery.
2. Gritty, Philadelphia Flyers (Down 1 spot)
GRITTY'S REIGN IS OVER!! What a reign is was, though, and the Flyers' mascot is still second on the list. 1. Harvey The Hound, Calgary Flames No words needed to describe this incredible moment. That's what it's all about.
