He then went on to make his mark on the big screen with his breakthrough film role as a rival agent to Tom Cruise in 1996’s blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire.

  • 35Th Anniversary of Nfl No 1
    FAMOUS LOVE THE NFL If you watch The Drew Carey Show, you may have noticed that every episode contains something related to the Cleveland Browns. DREW CAREY is an avid Cleveland Browns fan and always places something pertaining to the Browns in the background, whether it be a sticker, pennant or pillow. Carey is not alone in his fanaticism for the NFL. Former White House press secretary ARI FLEISCHER loves his Miami Dolphins. “I always have been a Miami Dolphins fan,” says Fleischer. “When I was a little kid, I loved the show Flipper. Then, when I heard there was a football team called the Dolphins, that was all it took. I split with my parents and my brothers at a very young age when I became a Dolphins fan. Then I split with them again when I became a Republican. As far as I'm concerned, I'm 2-for-2.” NFL fans come from all walks of life – no matter what economic, racial, or regional background. But it sure is interesting to hear for which teams famous people root! WHAT WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THEIR BEST-LOVED SPORT Jon Bon Jovi, singer “I was lucky enough to be on the team bench and in the team locker room when the Giants won Super Bowl XXV.” Drew Carey, actor On what a day is like in the Carey household when the Browns are playing: “I don't do anything. In L.A., the games start at, like, 10 AM, so I just roll over, flip the game on and lay there -- watch the whole thing in my pajamas and sleep during halftime.” Ben Curtis, tennis player On participating in a pregame coin toss at a Browns game: “I’ve always been a Cleveland Browns fan, so it was pretty cool.
