Crazy Italian Packers fan celebrates on the Super Bowl field - Shutdown Corner - NFL  - Yahoo! Sports


Got to read the ENTIRE story...He is that guy

Indeed, Gio went to Dallas and somehow managed to secure an all-access field pass to the Super Bowl. To the Super Bowl. He uploaded a video to Youtube of the game's final moments from his vantage point and the frenzied celebration that ensued when time expired, and some of the photos he took are featured in this post. As for how he came into possession of such a pass, Gio asked that I not divulge this information. "I don't want to get anybody in trouble," he said.

I like that guy.
"When Green Bay scored, I saw one of the players jump into the crowd and I loved that," Bartocci said about the "Lambeau leap" many Packers players perform after scoring a touchdown. "Plus, most of the supporters, the fans, they had their shirts off and it was snowing and they were wearing giant pieces of cheese on their heads. And I thought, ‘Man, these people are crazy. I like that."

So where was he during the game? Like somewhere a few feet back behind the players?

I think it's safe to say, somebody from the Italian Media got him a pass. Cool though. I'm jealous as hell.

In his story he said that he went to the game with out a ticket

Yeah, I'm guessing his story got around and picked up by the Italian media in Dallas and they got him a pass. He was speaking Italian to somebody there on the sideline. That's my guess of how he got an on field pass.

I thought he was just talking into his own camera.

He TOUCHED the Lombardi Trophy! MAN.

The only way that moment could have been any better would be if he had managed to find a way to the top of the podium with Rodgers, McCarthy and Thompson.

See? He's not that awesome after all.

And he's a friggen bandwagoner because he became a Packers fan from just watching the fans instead of knowing anything about the team or the game of football!

(These sour grapes are sour but they sure are delicious! Oh yes they are. They really really are! Maybe.)

My favorite part of the story:

"Plus, most of the supporters, the fans, they had their shirts off and it was snowing and they were wearing giant pieces of cheese on their heads. And I thought, ‘Man, these people are crazy. I like that.'"

And then he runs up and grabs Aaron Rodgers during the Disneyland commercial... This guy wins at life.
