10. Mr. T
I pity fool who thought I would use 'I pity the fool' somewhere in this paragraph. That'd just be way too easy. Moron.
9. Bernie Mac
If not for Mr. 3,000, Bernie Mac may just crack our top five. While that film is a big blemish on his resume, Mac's cameo in the best movie of 2007, Transformers, gets him back on the list. Also, he's the only member of the collection that is a White Sox fan first and foremost- something that always gets you extra points around these parts.
8. Barack Obama
When not smoking cigarettes or campaigning to become the next leader of the free world, our favorite Hawaiian-Muslim can be seen cheering on the Bears and White Sox. Would be #1 if he'd man up and make his official campaign slogan 'Bros before Hoes' for the Democratic primaries.
7. William Peterson
If you don't know who William Peterson is, he's the guy wearing the black shirt in this picture who actually looks normal. The rest of these guys make up Chicago's very own Mac, Jurko and Harry radio show on AM1000. Peterson always talks up his Chicago sports and is a die hard Blackhawks follower.
6. Chris Farley
If Farley were still alive, I can't imagine he, or the Superfans, would be very happy with the state of things in the Chicago sports realm today. However, after sustaining at least three heart attacks immediately after consuming 26 polish sausages, Farley just may let it go.
5. Eddie Vedder
When not coming to the realization that his band no longer really matters, Vedder can be found wandering the halls of Wrigley Field. As a Cubs fan, it's not hard to come up with material filled with angst and depression. I'm surprised Heath Ledger wasn't a Cubs fan.
4. George Wendt
In a certain town, there's a certain man who started a certain television show about the greatest teams that reside in Chicago. Wendt (right) was the host of the Superfans as Bill Swerski; a moderator that was always prepared with the most obvious hypothetical questions. "Now, did God create Da Bears, and make them superior to all teams? Or is he simply a huge fan, and Ditka made them superior to all other teams? "
3. John Cusack
Being a Cubs fan must be like standing outside in the rain for 100 years, a feeling Cusak should know well. While he bleeds Cubbie blue, Cusak earned rave reviews for his portrayal of former White Sox pitcher Buck Weaver in the 1988 film 'Eight Men Out'.
ed. note - Finding a picture of Cusack in Cubs gear was nearly impossible. You find something and we'll post it.
2. Jim Belushi
One of Chicago's most outspoken fans, Belushi is the guy most television networks think of when trying to kill time in the booth with a celebrity during a game involving one of our teams. Bears games on MNF always feature a Belushi cameo and his show According to Jim is set in Chicago.
1. Bill Murray
Does anyone scream Chicago louder than Bill Murray?
You can find Murray out at Cubs games, cheering for the Illini and cursing at Bears games on a consistent basis. We're proud to say that he's our number one fan.

Eddie Vedder's band doesn't matter?? Tell the 100,000 at Lollapalooza who traveled from all over the country to see Pearl Jam that... Otherwise, good list..
Completely agree with Phillips, Pearl Jam still rocks. Also, I didn't write this, or did I....
Come one Olsen, you earned this byline.
Me and my brother Matt actually saw Bernie Mac @ a Sox game. My bro said Hey Bernie, whats up? and Bernie replied, "Whats happenin, cracka?" It was fuckin awesome.
