He won't have a lot to root for this year, but you have to appreciate his gumption.
We all know that getting out to a football game, depending on where you live, can be an expensive, exhausting and — if you live in Philadelphia– a potentially dangerous and criminal endeavor.
Consider the passion of this man, this… SuperFan. He’s in Buffalo, for one. It’s freezing cold in Buffalo. Almost always. Secondly, he’s rooting for the Bills. That automatically makes the man’s tolerance for pain and anguish up there with the guy in the movie Seven who is tied to the bed with all the pinetree air freshners overhead.
You get’em, pal. And if you work hard enough, you guys might get a Super Bowl up your way by 2020.

This guy. 
I know it’s often unfair to judge an entire group, class, etc. by its weakest member. And I know that painting any entire fanbase with a brush as despicable as this may be regrettable to some. But come on. If you were friends with this guy, wouldn’t you ask him to cool it a bit on game day so that you can enjoy yourself without having to worry about the laughter/complete lack of attention from anything resembling a female?
As if the deflated baseball headdress wasn’t enough, or you couldn’t get past the incredibly legible writing on Meatloaf’s stomach that I hope someone helped him with. Because, otherwise, this savant has quite a gift. Also, the cell phone clipped to the shirt lapel.
Yes, the boys of summer are here again.

If I loved anything as much as he loves the Bears...
Like the famous SNL sketch featuring 4 Bears Superfans (Mike Myers, Chris Farley, even George Wendt as Bob Swerkski), Glenn Timmerman wants those watching to enjoy what they’re seeing.
Having amassed quite a collection of autographs from notable Bears players and coaches ( Ditka, Buddy Ryan) and non-notables (Desmond Clark) over the years, as well as a variety of graphics and logos, Timmermann easily wins fan of the week this week. Plus, he might be the only guy who’s asked kicker Robbie Gould for his autograph.
He recently completed a new tattoo, a leg piece, which you can see here as he’s kindly rolled up his Zubaz pants to expose the work. Very nice coloring!
Cheers to Glenn Timmermann. The biggest Bears fan the world may ever know.

Ahh the thrill of the hunt.
Well, you’ve done it again, Philadelphia. Just a month after the now infamous Vomitting Fan escapades, Philadelphia’s become the site ofa fun game of “Anything you can do, I can do better.”
Two fans of the National League baseball team that calls this fair city home decided to run on the field this week, in an attempt to get closer to their favorite players, like the Flyin’ Hawaiian and Jayson “NASCAR Beard” Werth. That, or, maybe to appreciate the thrill of getting tased?
Sounds like something out of an episode of It’s Always Sunny, right?
This week, our Fans of the Week are 17-year-old Steven Consalvi and 34-year old superfan, Tommy Betz. Just a day after Consalvi took a dive after getting tased, Betz copycat’ed him and was charged with disorderly conduct and narcotics possession. If that wasn’t bad enough, the Philly faithful, much like the ancient romans in the coliseum, weren’t pleased with his efforts and booed.
Criminal records be damned! The shame of being tased and/or tackled on televison, psshaw! You keep doing what you’re doing, Philly. Without you, we might not have anyone to make fun of.

Taken from the hipster bible, Vice Magazine’s famed “DOs and DON’Ts” section. Congratulations, these guys!

| Big Fan may seem depressing if you’ve never been to an actual NFL game, but it barely scratches the surface of how dark things get at most stadia. There are levels of dadlessness that will literally haunt your dreams. |
