Which Celebrity is a Superfan of your favorite team? To celebrate the birthdays of Rob Lowe and Billy Crystal, Tom and Nick talk about their favorite celebrity superfans who have been doing it for years, never miss a game, and can often be seen in their team’s gear. This week’s Birthday Roll Call was full of awesome athletes including Anthony Davis, Dale Murphy, Trent Dilfer, The Late Kirby Puckett, Larry “Grandmama” Johnson, Steph Curry, Harold Baines, Joel Embiid, Blake Griffin, Chris Davis, Rhys Hoskins, and Mia Hamm. Last but not least, Tom took pleasure in covering The Late Dock Ellis and his famously bizarre no-hitter, and Nick gave a shoutout and dab to Paul Pogba! Enjoy the show and make it an Epic Week!
Show Notes:
0:00-1:24 Intro: Welcome to Epic Week by Bacon Sports. I’m Bachelor fan, don’t judge me, Tom Pellegrino along with my podcast tag-team partner Sleep Deprived Nick Schwietering. Epic Week looks at the sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for a week in sports. This week, we are talking about March 11th through 17th.
1:25-9:15 Main Event: To celebrate the Birthdays of two famous sports fans, Rob Lowe (Cincinnati Reds) and Billy Crystal (New York Yankees), we want to spend a few minutes talking about Celebrity SuperFans. We have some “Top Dogs” who have been doing it for years and or never miss a game, including Jack Nicholson. Ashley Judd kicked off our “Also Receiving Votes,” which contained a few we didn’t even know about! Baconators helped us out with a few mentions on Facebook, and we finished things off with some Celebrity Soccer Fans!

14:36-17:48 Why Should I Care: The Late Dock Ellis threw a no hitter while tripping on LSD. Paul Pogba is one of the most polarizing and marketable soccer players on the planet.
