Gritty was an Answer (Question?) on Jeopardy! Tonight

I’m not a huge Jeopardy! guy, probably because I feel intellectually inferior whenever it’s on. I can go entire segments without knowing an answer (or question, I guess?) and then some dumbass in the room gets a few right and I develop an inferiority complex.
I can, however, honestly say I would’ve had this one right on tonight’s episode:
“The World Almanac’s editors picked items for a figurative 2018 time capsule, including this furry orange mascot of the Philly Flyers.”

I love how this Eric guy is absolutely to the moon over nailing it. The self-confidence. The folded hand placement at the belt. The smile. He’s thoroughly pleased with himself.
I know you think you’re better than me, Eric. You knew a hockey mascot. Cool. Way to be conscious during 2018, but I’m not impressed with your quiz show knowledge or your affable demeanor.
Sorry. Like I said, inferiority complex.
