Fantrums


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Fantrum: [fan-trəm] n. (plural: fantrums)

: A fit of anger thrown by a fan of a sports team when that team does not take the actions he believes they should have taken; often directed at personnel moves and may include threats to stop being a fan if a certain move is made or not made

See also: hissy fit, acting out, drama queen, sports radio caller

I'm officially filing for copyright on this word :D

Flaming Douche - A member of a rival team that insists on hanging around while spouting insults and worthless crap we don't care about.

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?

Grrrrr....yeah Mr. Scot! Those Detroit fans angry after Matt Millen kept coming back year after year after year were just throwing nonsensical fantrums!!!!!11!111

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...

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
