You all know the story by now: Lions lunatic fan Matthew Spring was tossed from Ford Field on Sunday, allegedly for the simple act of standing up and cheering while the Lions were on defense in the third quarter.

Instead of just being thankful that Lions security escorted him from the premises so he wouldn’t have to watch the worst sports franchise in America perform, “Super Fan” Spring cut a promo that would have made Randy Savage on crystal meth proud.

And the video is outstanding. My favorite part of the clip that has gone viral is his mute friend (Earl Spring) standing next to him playing the role of Teller. Ya know, if Penn Gillette were a psychotic who wore a lion stuffed animal on his head and dedicated his life to a franchise that has never been to a Super Bowl and has won exactly one postseason game in the last 57 — soon to be 58 — seasons.

Anyway, in the video, Spring maintains that he did nothing wrong. That he didn’t exhibit any behavior that could have led to him being ejected. Since he claims to have been to almost 20 years of Lions home games without missing one, the whole account seemed off.

For fuck’s sake, the man has his Ford Field section, row and seat number TATTOOED on his wrist. Insert your own Holocaust/William Clay Ford, Sr. joke at your own peril.

(Mine has something to do with Henry Ford being a well-known Nazi sympathizer, if you must know ….)

Well, maybe Spring can explain this photo from Sunday’s game ……

Oh.
