Dumbest Fan 'Traditions' in Sports

[Chuck]

View attachment 25477 View attachment 25477 Not a sports tradition, but something that drives me nuts. Women who wear sunglasses in the airport attempting to look like they're hiding from TMZ. Especially prevalent in Southern California. Waiting for my flight from Long Beach to Reno/Tahoe right now and this chick next to me is getting on my nerves.

Dude, that's Linday Lohan! Living life to it's fullest is going to leave some marks, but she's still relevant in the gossip circles.

Oh, and in response to the thread, I hate the silence for the free throws thing. Silence is actually louder than the regular drone of the crowd. If you want your shooter to be able to concentrate, everyone should just play white noise from their phone.

LOL. Carve them up for food, farm raised, not from China, no AntiBs, no growth hormone, and so on, but you're right that I do enjoy it. Very satisfying to put 1 year's worth of Beef in the fridge in a day, cut any way I like. Just started experimenting with sous vide, which has been very nice so far.
BTW - two remaining steer are going to freezer camp in January, and a new one will be arriving in the Spring. But that new one will have a Buddy. It'll be the Boneyard Steer/Heifer. I'll post a thread when I get it for a public naming, and then we'll have to figure out a BY event when I can bring the cuts out. Only 2 requests from my end: I want to meet Fishy and Temery, and it's gotta be in CT or really close by. Not even BSing one bit.

Smartest "New" fan tradition in sports- eating some delicious Beef w/Mad Dog and other Yarders before AND after a UConn game. Maybe having a libation or two. Standing or sitting allowed. My worst tradition is at Chicago Bulls games when they play that *&^%ing song that goes "everybody clap your hands" I hate that song.

Shouting “and that’s another UConn 1st down” when UConn is down 3 scores in the 4th quarter.

Travel enough and you start to find ways to give off a "I'm a total d![k so don't bother talking to me" vibe. . .

Of course, one must use caution so one does not miss the convergence of "giving off a vibe of being" and "being."

Whether I do or don't doesn't make it any less stupid.

Thats a great point. I remember back in the 90's everyone used to stand. Now it is like 50/50 and looks dumb.

PC has started doing the “YES” chant made famous by some wrestling dude the last couple of years and with a full house it’s a lot of fun to witness.

Is that before or after they whip the dildo on the court?

I see that visual still has you bothered to this day. A shrink can probably help you with your hang ups. Emeka laughed, and the site of a ref reaching down and grabbing a very long very flexible black dildo from the lane on National TV still makes me LOL after all these years.
