F...Holy shit I forgot "Freddy/Frannie Fairweather." Freddy typically doesn't care about "his/her" team until there is some game of importance. Freddy doesn't follow the team, or know anything about football. However, Freddy will use his state/allegiance to either seem significant during an important game, or hook up with a fellow fan.<BR/><BR/>I.e.

Yes, another fine example of someone seen at a football activity, although I feel at some point everyone turns into a Fantasy Franco. I think the Fantasy Franco become destructive when his/her fantasy team gets in the way of others' football viewing experience.Steve Lattimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150473421615296165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673413627090761779.post-39429204453161376312008-09-12T19:25:00.000-05:002008-09-12T19:25:00.000-05:00Should there be a Fantasy Franco? 1) Because your...Should there be a Fantasy Franco? 1) Because your names are distinctively anglo, and 2) Because there's always someone who doesn't give a fuck about anybody on any team, period, except for those that he drafted. These guys(/girls) also generally only drafted players based on what some magazine said, and the only sportswriter they know is Bill Simmons. I firmly believe these guys are out to ruin sports, because they only care about their own reputation, and could care less about actual teams.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I'm somewhere in between a Harry Hometown and Joe Homer. It's the noblest of professions, but I'm also realistic (I have no faith in the Longhorns this year).Icehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07397555220247230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673413627090761779.post-35955976481506010812008-09-12T19:05:00.000-05:002008-09-12T19:05:00.000-05:00Hi Devin, Welcome to the clubHi Devin, Welcome to the clubSteve Lattimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150473421615296165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673413627090761779.post-81081131991923533432008-09-12T18:19:00.000-05:002008-09-12T18:19:00.000-05:00my name is Devin Murray, and I am a WTF guy.my name is Devin Murray, and I am a WTF guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673413627090761779.post-54935560583093306262008-09-12T11:09:00.000-05:002008-09-12T11:09:00.000-05:00Excellent point, I should have addressed thatExcellent point, I should have addressed thatSteve Lattimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150473421615296165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673413627090761779.post-13937682952005777462008-09-12T10:57:00.000-05:002008-09-12T10:57:00.000-05:00I would like to add a spin to Harry/Harriet Hometo...I would like to add a spin to Harry/Harriet Hometowner and his name is Joe Homer. Joe Homer believes that although his team finished 2-9 last year, THIS IS THE YEAR WE WIN CONFERENCE! Joe Homer chimes in any off-season conversation with "well you know, we just signed a couple of kids that were highly under-rated, just wait and see". Or during the 1st year of a coaching change, Joe blames the previous coach for the dissapointing season "Wait until the new coach gets his recruits in there, you'll see" Joe also believes that his band of scrubs can defeat any team. any time, any where. A personal experience with this is the 24 point spread in the Arkansas TX game. A Joe Homer in Fayetteville ranted that his beloved hogs would beat the longhorns. He backed it up by taking a STRAIGHT bet for $50. What an idiot....Don Delawarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740722830484278960noreply@blogger.com
