Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Biggest Fan, Big Nasty, Eyes Retirement

This NFL season, Keith Kunzig is reveling in being "Big Nasty."

Our friends at ABC Action News caught up with him and he said this season, he's riding to games in style in a Mercedes limousine van.

Big Nasty has been along for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wild ride for decades. He's watched them win two Super Bowls, and he's endured through the losing seasons, as well.

He's so special to football lore and history that his fandom earned him a spot in the fan’s wing at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He said, “Still can’t believe that knock on the door. I’ll never forget that as long as I live."

Not only has Big Nasty cheered on the team, but he's done plenty of philanthropic work in character, too.

Though this appears to be his last season as "Big Nasty," Kunzig still plans to root on his team.

“Big Nasty will be going to the games until the day he dies," Kunzig said. "The only difference is, I’ll be having a cold one. Flip flops and a visor. No makeup, though.”
