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.
