I am not exactly sure what the appeal of the “Snuggie” is (I rock the good old fashioned robe when I watch my Saturday Morning Cartoons), but more than 20,000 donned the armed blankets during the first quarter of the Cavs-Pistons game on March 5 for five minutes to set a world record.

That is, of course, except one fan wearing a Celtics jersey and another who thought ahead and brought a Pistons Snuggie according to a report on NBC.
Even though the stipulations for setting a world record (via Guinness) are: Having a Guinness official present, at least 250 people have to participate, they must all wear their own Snuggie, they need to wear it for five minutes and they all must be the same color…please don’t try and break this record.

It isn’t really a fan law, it is more of a self-respect thing. Don’t dress up like a Color Blind Tusken Raider just to be part of a record.
According to NBC: “All of the Cavaliers players were given their own personalized Snuggie. Shaquille O’Neal’s needed 9 feet of material — 2 to 3 feet more than a typical Snuggie for the 7-foot-1 O’Neal. Rookie Danny Green wore his Snuggie on the court for pregame shootaround.” Sorry Dan, but you looked stupid (I figure you had to do this because you are a rookie).
Love your Snuggie? Should there be a ThatFan Snuggie? Just want to yell at Dr. Venkman? E-mail him.
