Christmas is coming so fans are showing up to sporting events dressed as Santa Claus. During ESPN's broadcast of the Chicago Bears - Minnesota Vikings game on Monday night, the network returned from a commercial showing some of the Santas, including one that drew a strong reaction from Joe Buck.

After showing a Santa in the Vikings' purple and gold they showed a second Mr. and Mrs. Claus who also looked the part. And then a guy who eschewed the traditional beard for a Chicago-approved Mike Ditka glasses and mustache combo. Buck couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"And right on cue with Christmas just nine days away," Buck said while the broadcast showed the fans. "VIPs in the crowd tonight here tonight in Minneapolis. How about the last one? I'll buy the first two. Then you got like Ditka Santa. Come on. There he is. Well, it worked. You got on TV."

Let this be a lesson to any aspiring Santas considering attending a Monday Night Football game. Go full Santa or don't go at all because Joe Buck will be there, ready and waiting to judge you.
