Comedian and NFL Superfan Stavros "Stavvy" Halkias Tapped for New ESPN Campaign as Regular Season Starts

As we get ready to shift into the regular NFL season, ESPN has launched a new campaign starring a well-known football superfan.

What's Happening:

• ESPN has launched a new campaign starring comedian Stavros "Stavvy" Halkias, celebrating all things NFL that are on or coming soon to the sports network.
• The comedian was tapped as he is widely known as a Baltimore Ravens Superfan who follows the NFL, and will be pushing ESPN's expanded NFL coverage across various platforms.
• The campaign, dubbed "Football's On" highlights how much NFL programming viewers will find, and kicks off today ahead of the NFL Hall of Fame weekend on Saturday, August 8.
• In the new spot below, Stavvy calls the amount of NFL content on ESPN "Disgusting," before sharing how much he loves it, standing in front of a huge screen filled with windows of content.
• Check out the new spot below.

• The campaign will run through the regular season, reaching fans on ESPN's social channels, linear television, and the NFL Network.

The Perfect Guy:

• Stavvy is one of the most recognizable fans of the Baltimore Ravens, and has often incorporated his fandom for the team and the NFL not only into interviews, but his stand-up routine and online persona.
• Stavvy himself is from Baltimore, and his loyalty to the Ravens is authentic as can be - not just a random pick. He frequently talks about growing up during the franchise's rise, describing the team as a major part of his identity as a native of Baltimore.
• He has also created a bit of a character in the form of Ronnie - an exaggerated working-class Ravens fan who speaks with an over-the-top accent, and worships players like Joe Flacco at a god-like status. "Ronnie" has been known to deliver postgame reactions after nearly every game.
