Gotta love the fans

So i was at a the Purdue, Northwestern game last saturday, peacefully watching the game. When all of the sudden some jackass 5 rows up shouts something at the field. Naturally i don't really pay attention, but he seems to be repeatingly shouting stuff. So as the game goes on i start to pick up on what he is saying and non of the comments he says make any sense. Now it could be that he was drunk, but this guy knew nothing of football and was talking as if he did. Example: So its 4th and 4 on Purdues own 35 yard line. Now, the last time the Boilers were stuck with 4th down the went for it. One big difference from that 4th down to this one was that the boilers were on Northwesterns 35 so it would have been a long field goal or a short punt, so going for the first down made sense then. So anyways this guy is just yelling at Joe Tiller saying he's such an idiot and he doesn't know how to coach. All i can think is this is one of those kids in high school that would rather sit in the stands with the girls then go on the field and play football or any sport for that matter. So thats just one example, another would be i was watching a bears game. Why i was watching a bears game i don't know, but thats beside the fact, so the team that they were playing wouldn't kick the ball to Devin Hester, for obvious reasons. So after the game i ask a friend, who happends to be Bears "fan", and ask him what he thought of the game. Thinking that he would give me a some what respectable answer he stats,"man i wish the other kicker wouldn't have kicked so bad, would could have used Devin Hester." I just put my head down and walked away. So i might just be the only one who hates this but if not i'd love to hear about other dumb a$$ fans who know so much about football.

Ya, I hear ya when you get jackass people talking about a game like they know what is going on. I think the best one i've heard so far is someone was telling me that Peyton Manning is an idiot because he audibles at the line so much. You know, I really don't even know what to say to those people. Maybe get them the football for dummies book or somethign. What idiots!!!!!!
