The 60 Yard Line

---

Mitch?

Mitch, run!

It's gonna blow up!

Run!

[Narrator] Meet

Ben Zagger Zagowski.

This frightened

man-child has become

the envy of Green Bay

super fans everywhere.

[dramatic music]

Packer fans are

Packer fans for life.

My whole life I've

been a Packers fan.

My whole life.

[Narrator] Fans of

any team in the world

have a thirst to

wear their colors

bigger, better and

louder than any other.

This hat has been

with me a long time.

Until it completely falls apart,

it's gonna be with

me at the games.

It's just really

fun, and seeing him,

like, scream at the

TV, it's hilarious.

[Narrator] Expecting

those closest to them

to join in the journey

or suffer the consequences.

I thank God I'm not

married to my ex-wife

and I'm married

to my lovely current wife

because of the Packers.

There are game days

when I don't even

want to be around her,

because of how

out-of-bounds she gets

with her passion for the team.

[woman laughs]

[Narrator] Zagger's desire

to be a fan among fans

propelled him to implement

his parking lot living room.

This proximity allowed him to be

as close to the

action as possible,

proving his commitment.

Zagger would always have

his teammates by his side.

In attendance

was his only friend, Polano,

a rare Bears fan living

behind enemy lines,

as well as Zagger's

sister, Debbie,

the smart one in the family.

But most notably was

his fianc, Amy Etzman.

Not her.

Ah, there she is.

When Zagger proposed

to her eight years ago,

he forever brought her into

his world of super fan.

[All] Go Pack, Go!

[Narrator] And she brought him

into her world of the employed,

obtaining him a job in

the shipping department

at the company where she worked.

Polano, post route.

[Polano] I got it!

[Narrator] The future

looked bright for Zagger,

but the road for

Zagger to become

this legendary symbol of fandom

was wrought with great

sacrifice, struggle,

and commitment.

[dramatic music]

Okay, can I look now?

It's really hot back here.

I know, the center

of my back is always hot.

- Yeah.

- I have hot back.

- Yeah, you do.

- Okay, keep your eyes closed.

- Okay.

- Okay.

All right.

[Amy] Oh, gosh.

Okay, look.

[Amy] Oh, my gosh.

We did it?

You're not following the

no-sexual-touching-in-the-office

policy.

Remember that weird meeting

after the

Jablonski/Karen incident?

Karen, cut it out. You're gonna

send him back to therapy.

- Holy balls, I love you.

- Holy balls, I love you.

Holy balls, I'd rather

watch you make out.

Polano, we did it.

We finally have enough

money to get married.

Aw, you two are

getting married

and Tracey and I are

getting a divorce.

The world is balanced.

My grandma sent us

a check for 350 bucks,

and that puts us over the mark.

Okay, so is it real this time

or do you want me to

react the same way I did

the past five times you told me?

It's so for real

that I'll even let you

- bang one of my bridesmaids.

- Oh.

Once your divorce is final.

Oh, thank you, Amy.

Thank you.

Oh, time.

Time, time, time.

- We gotta go. Let's go.

- Oh, I do have one question.

How is it that the only

Bears fan in Green Bay

wins tickets to a

closed Pack practice?

- Karma.

- Mm-hm.

- And phony raffle tickets.

- There you...

I get it. The voice is

because I'm Italian.

I'm only going because

you're my best friend,

and I'm gonna email everything

I see to Lovie Smith.

- Ooh!

- I love you, lover.

I love you.

Oh, babe?

What about your work?

[Ben] Go Pack, go!

Half day, b*tches!

Damn it, Karen!

Two seconds.

I know if it was my team,

I'd want to go straight there.

I'm not going to a practice

without my stats binder.

Oh, while you're in there,

try and find your testicles.

Dad, make sure you don't

weld the wrong crack.

What? There's only one

crack in this...

Oh, you mean my butt crack.

[chuckles]

- Funny. Good one.

- Where's my stats binder?

Hey, uh, so are

you two excited?

Oh yeah, of course.

I mean Polano just wants

to get out of work.

No, I am talking about

you and Amy and the wedding.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're,

she's, she's pumped about it.

- Have you seen it?

- Did you agree on

the, um, color scheme?

Oh, how about the invites?

Did you get those yet?

Or better yet, a save-the-date.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ma.

I know, okay? But where is it?

If I don't have the binder, it

will affect the whole season.

You knew where it

was the whole time.

Don't forget.

You and Amy work well together.

You'll make a great team.

Hey, I got a great idea

for your save-the-date card.

Look, even your

father's serious about it.

You could put an R

after the V, like Favre.

Then people might think that

they should savor the date,

but I like what you're thinking.

Don't savor the date.

Just save the date

like a normal person.

I can't make any promises,

Ma, but I'll definitely try.

- I gotta go, okay? I love you.

- Okay.

- Please, please.

- Yeah.

Just take this

seriously, Ben, please?

- I will.

- Okay.

- [Ben] Go Pack, go!

- Go Pack, go!

Go Pack, go.

- Guess what?

- [Debbie] What?

We set a date!

Should I

react the same way I did

the last five times or

something different?

No, something different.

Listen girl, I love

my brother like he was,

well, my brother,

but you deserve someone

who is considerate

and who has their sh*t together

and who showers and puts your

needs above theirs.

Hang on, I gotta take this.

Amy, I'm sorry to be

the hard-ass new boss,

it's just I need you to...

Oh, you're on the phone.

- Are you on hold?

- Yeah.

No, you know what?

I'm gonna take care of it.

It's not that big a deal.

You have every right

to be on the phone.

You have as much right as a man.

Okay.

[Debbie] To get in my Butkus.

Oh, hey.

What's so funny?

Uh, one of our clients

got denied parole.

- Oh.

- Anyway, what were

we talking about?

Um, oh yeah, what a piece

- of sh*t my brother is.

- He's not.

He even said he had a little

surprise for me later.

The only time my

brother surprises anyone

is when he acts like an adult,

and I have yet to be surprised.

[Zagger laughing and screaming]

You realize we're

watching practice, right?

Dude, when third

string is running

Gun Normal-Y-Flex-Tight

on first down scenarios,

they are confident.

The depth chart is solid.

I think they are big

game capable this season.

Yeah, well, the

conference championship

is running right

through Chicago,

- obviously.

- No. No, no.

I forecasted the Bears

to finish sub 500

due to lack of run support.

So, what's the

surprise for Amy tonight?

Oh, I'm gonna

put a deposit down

at that really nice Bayfront

resort for the reception.

- Nice.

- [Ben] Right?

Love the cheese curds there.

Whoop, sorry.

Whoops, my bad.
