Fireman Ed: The Last Superfan
Maybe you know that Bruce Harper wore number 42 for the New York Jets from 1977 to 1984 and that he is the all-time leader in punt return yardage in Jets history.

This Awful Statue May End Up Getting The TCU Student-Body President Impeached
This is supposed to be TCU's "SuperFrog" mascot, though it looks more like Sonic the Hedgehog waiting patiently for a crosstown bus.
