Occasionally, a fan's hobby turns into a sideline. Green Bay Packers fanatic Scott Crevier, who works for an Irvine, Calif., software company, has gained five local sponsors for his Packers page . But he insists he didn't create a page to create a business. The teams do it because they feel they have an obligation. It's a job for somebody.
Fans do it out of love for what they're doing.
Or maybe obsession. Mr. Crevier's page doesn't offer current game statistics like its NFL counterpart, but the site has a database of every game the Packers have played in the last 78 years. Other unauthorized sites have less technical, though equally useful, features. Jason P. Schanuel runs the Unofficial Buffalo Bills Home Page '97 .
