Contest: 2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1
TV Show/Movie Appeared: Big Fan (2009)
Actor/Actress: Patton Oswalt
Why you should vote:: Perhaps, because you are also a fan of the New York Giants to that degree.
Why you should not vote:: This is far from a feel good sports story here.
We all know fans like this. Often, we hope we don’t become one. The story of Paul Aufiero is one that is scary, has no happy ending and puts sports in a perspective that we should all remember. Played by Patton Oswalt, Aufiero is a near middle aged parking lot attendant who still lives with his mom whose love of the New York Giants reaches levels of pitifulness; especially after he is assaulted by his favorite player. This is one of those roles where after watching you evaluate your own fandom of your favorite team.
