Are you ready for some football? But are you fan enough for your football team? MKE spotlights a few supporters who certainly put the "fan" into "fanatic." Plus, a look at fan injuries and game schedules.

On the cover: John Ruby, 28, an actor and model currently living in Los Angeles, was a wide receiver when he was a freshman at Arrowhead High School.
