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...

    • What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)  
    • Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
