That would be Lone Buc Fan.

Wonder who you mean... :sosp:

Should the Huddle be credited as the birthplace of the fantrum, or just a place where it's commonly practiced?

I have no idea what you're talking about :sosp:

Is it a fantrum when fans wear bags over their heads? If that be the case, then the birthplace is New Orleans.

Perhaps you could call it a fansgression

Nah, we didn't invent it but we certainly have perfected it.

Don't complain. I could have called them "Sammillsfantrums" (but I'm a nice guy)

Fans have plenty of right to be upset when they don't like the direction their team is taking, but sometimes it gets a little extreme. People go waaaayyy overboard with it.

The "I'll never cheer for this team again if they (whatever)" bit, for example, is a tad silly.

I never said that. I'll be there on Opening Day with my DeAngelo Williams jersey on screaming like hell for the Panthers. I'll even be rooting for Jake.

Wouldn't that make you a major hypocrite? You don't like Jake, stand to you guns man, boo the poo out of him...

I told Jake he was a shitty QB in 06 when I had seats 3 rows behind the panthers bench, he looked at me and shook his head.

That qualifies as a fantrum, right?
