"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -- John 3:16

Rainbow Man was a fixture in American sports culture in the 1980s. Rollen Stewart, wearing a rainbow-colored wig, appeared behind NFL goal posts, near Olympic medal stands and even at the Augusta National Golf Club just as TV cameras focused on athletes in the foreground. And that's when Stewart held up a sign reading, "John 3:16," a verse in the Bible.

Stewart's fame eventually got him a Budweiser commercial and inspired a skit on "Saturday Night Live."

However, Stewart ran afoul of the law several times, the last of which was when he took two men and a maid hostage in a hotel room near Los Angeles International Airport.

Do you guys remember him? I sure do...didn't really think about what happened to him. I guess he went cuckoo.

I figured D would remember this guy. Since he is all about 80s sports heroes like Pete Rose and Dan Marino.

As if there were something normal about a guy who does this at football games.
