The contest winner was determined by public voting. Gary was up against four other die-hard Detroit Lions fans. Congrats to all of the finalists, you should all be proud. You know as well as I do, rooting for the Detroit Lions is not always easy. Much respect to all of you.

Gary Campioni has been featured countless times on Detroit Lions promotional videos, the NFL Draft, and more. If it is Detroit Lions related, Gary is a part of it. Campioni is known as 'Macho Mane' and belongs to a group of fellow Lions fans called 'Blue Mane Group'.
