Published in 1972 by Signet, the book parodies the obsessive culture of American football fanatics. It centers around "Superfan," a fictional, over-the-top "freaky football folk hero" who takes his love for the game to absurd extremes—joking that he is "faster than a speeding Sayers" and "more powerful than an angry Butkus". Through satirical prose by Meglin (a longtime writer and editor for MAD Magazine) and cartoon illustrations by Davis, the book pokes fun at the wild antics, unhinged devotion, and extreme lifestyle of die-hard sports fans.
