Gritty cleared of assault charges, inspiring late-night jokes (Video)

Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty was cleared of assault charges by the Philadelphia police, inspiring more jokes on the late night talk show circuit.

Stephen Colbert referenced the story during his "Meanwhile..." segment on Wednesday night. The punchline: "This is truly historic. It is the first Philadelphia sports fan to be acquitted of assault."



Conan O'Brien dedicated a whole segment to the story on Tuesday night's episode of Conan. In the segment, a fake "Gritty" was relieved to be cleared of the charges, but then proceeded to beat up a stage manager and a teenage boy, raising the question of whether he had truly learned his lesson.

Tyler Bertuzzi, Andreas Athanasiou juggle puck in pregame warmups

Detroit Red Wings left winger Tyler Bertuzzi and center Andreas Athanasiou entertained themselves (and their fans) by juggling the puck in the air with their sticks during pregame warmups prior to Monday night's game against Philadelphia.

Athanasiou got things going by flipping it to Bertuzzi, and they took turns bouncing it on their sticks and flipping it back and forth to each other.

Bertuzzi even used his foot to keep the puck in the air for a few extra seconds before they dropped it. Overall, Bertuzzi and Athanasiou managed to keep the puck in the air for nearly 25 seconds. That's impressive.

Ovechkin plans to sign the number 24 Capitals jersey and auction it off, with the proceeds going to Kobe and Vanessa Bryant Foundation.

Derek Jeter, Gritty mocked on SNL Weekend Update

Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Derek Jeter and Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty were the subjects of jokes during the Weekend Update of this week's episode of Saturday Night Live.

Jeter was named to the Hall of Fame this week in his first time on the ballot, with the big controversy being that he came one vote shy of a unanimous decision by the Baseball Writers Association. The punchline, delivered by Colin Jost:

"In case you were wondering if Derek Jeter ever slept with a baseball writer's wife."

It is worth noting that Jost is now engaged to actress Scarlett Johansson, who is rumored to have dated Jeter during his bachelor days, so that may have provided motivation for the dig on Jeter.

A minute later, Jost brought up the latest news story about Gritty, who is accused of punching a 13-year-old boy in the back.

"I just can't picture Gritty doing something like that. I mean, look at him...He's more of a leap out of the shadows and stick you with a syringe kind of guy."

We are curious as to how the real Gritty story will play out. Maybe some video will leak soon?

NHL All-Star Game features Green Day dropping F-bombs in live performance (Video)

Saturday night's NHL All-Star Game in St. Louis featured a live performance by Green Day in which lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong dropped several F-bombs.

NBC was prepared as they had the 7-second delay in place for the All-Star game broadcast, so the curses were bleeped for the viewers at home. However, the fans inside the Enterprise Center heard loud and clear as Armstrong used the expletive to urge the fans to get their hands up.

WARNING: There is cursing in these videos. Please make sure the kids aren't around to hear this.

La presentación de GREEN DAY en el NHLAllstars fue impresionante 💚

Not sure if this was the look the NHL was going for, but fans familiar with Green Day would not be surprised by this. When you book Green Day for a live gig, what do you expect.

Then again, Jaegermeister is currently the "official SHOT of the NHL". Get it? In that context, maybe the NHL doesn't mind this publicity.
