Actually, you have your terminology confused.   A "fair weather fan" is a person who remains a fan of a team....but mainly only in good times...when they are winning, but they disappear when they are losing...but still, they essentially stay loyal to their team.

 What you are talking about is being a Front Runner.  Or as we call them:  FRAKs.  FrontRunnerAssKissers.  These are the fans whose allegiance is essentially for sale.  They will root for a team that is good and winning, but if that team is bad, they will go and become a fan of a different team....that, of course, is winning.  

No one here really wants you to be that.  That kind of person is lower than a snakes butt.  We see plenty of those types....mostly fans of the Steelers, (but some other teams have been loaded with FRAK fans....Cowboys, Yankees, Celtics, Lakers etc.).

No, we don't want you to be a FRAK....ergo....you should change your avatar to show your true colors.

Fair enough! Haven't heard FRAK before, learn something new every day. Seems like Bandwaggoning as I call it.

Are you saying that you have William Gholston, a cousin of Vernon Gholston.....or are you saying that you are a cousin of Bernie Kosar?

And, no, I don't think you have to worry about being banned.  

But....if you are going to want to continue to use that screen name and avatar,   thou shalt be required to disavow any loyalty to the Buccaneers and thereby give your oath to the Cleveland Browns.

And remember, oaths are sacred.

Will is a cousin of Vernon. As for disavowing allegiance, that's a fair weather fan's game. I am a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan until death or until Los Angeles decides two teams isn't enough... in which case, I'm moving to Los Angeles.

Is a cousin lol.

Vernon Gholston,  out of Ohio St.   A really big bust.

Ah, we don't have Vernon, we have William. Don't think there was a relation, don't really remember actually. Maybe?! Anyways, a classier bunch I see. I was banned within 10 minutes on the Bengals forums lol. Hope we take them down a notch to help you guys on the divisional front this weekend.

We have Vinny Curry who has 1.5 sacks playing most of this season, Noah Spence who is usually inactive, Gholston who has been playing more interior, it's kind of slim pickings.

u sure about that? JPP and whats the other guys name, Vernon or something? Those seem to be ur two best DE's. But yeah i'll grant you Nassib may see some more subs now. 

JPP is unquestionably #1. When you say "Vernon" or something, that pretty much tells the story doesn't it?

@the-gipper said:

If you are a Buc fan then why in the effyouseekay do you have Bernie Kosar in your name and avatar.

Shouldn't you have like Brad Johnson on there?   Or Derrick Brooks?

I once registered to talk football with an opposing team as "Greg Schiano" (who was at the time, our former head coach, kneel gate, gap tooth, all that), and was banned in about 30 minutes for no other reason that I was from another team, about enough time for me to tell everyone hello. So I figured, Bernie Kosar buys me... an hour. 

As a Buc fan, Thank you guys for Carl Nassib, he's pretty much our 2nd best defensive end now. He pretty much looked good day 1 on his technique in limited rotations, hopefully he gets more playing time.

Hey guys, long time Buccaneers fan here. When I watched that play, I was confused too. I think the referees fixated on the sliding of the quarterback coming late and completely missed the helmet to helmet contact. Should of been a flag for that for sure though, quarterback, running back, makes no difference. All the best with Pittsburgh on Sunday.
