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...

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, now it's going to get awkward.  The team circles pay attention to all this stuff.  All the wives and girlfriends see the posts.  They all talk like everyone.  Football is just a normal world outside of the fact they play a game for lots of money.  Gossip travels. They know the Theilen's want out at this point.  Carolina is now the disappointed failed trade location.    So now AT takes sort of an inhouse hit in Carolina IMO

      2025 Roster Cuts

      Ummm... The dude looked like he was about 180 pounds soaking wet with us (I don't care what his listed weight was/is) - he would have been destroyed in the run game even more than our current and past crappy ILBs. The problem is we primarily play 3-4 or nickel/dime - there is little room on the field for him because he isnt an edge LB blitzer and he can't cover for crap. The only thing he can do kind of well is be an in-the-box safety that can try and beat blockers to the spot because of his athleticism. Washington was able to make him work last year because they used him solely as an in-the-box safety and almost exclusively ran a single high FS. The funny thing is they had good yards/game stats against the pass despite most of their secondary having embarrassingly low PFF grades. Washington was also terrible against the run, which might explain why they gave up so few yards passing.

      Just get the deal done. We've teased it so much that the Thielen's expect it. Now we run the risk of our veteran WR locker room presence becoming disgruntled. Just take what we can get, make him happy, and get future assets while freeing up snaps for guys who will be here beyond this season.
