Just curious.......... wanted to bring this up after I had been reminiscing with a friend about how hard I used to take bad Dolphin losses. I remember as a kid I used to go into my room and rip down everything aqua and orange, throw it into a garbage bag, and then not put it up again til the Fins proved themselves to me again. I swear, sports fanhood was probably the sole cause of stress in my life back then.
 
I come on here and talk about all the players who sucked and were the reason we lost.
 
I react anywhere from utter silence to violence. It used to always be violence. But I'm better at controlling myself. If Miami does something completely stupid to lose, then I tend to throw things and tear things and kill my pets.(JUST KIDDING!!!)
 
It used to be I would just seclude myself, not watch any ESPN or sports shows Sunday and Monday. I would just be in the worst mood until about Wednesday. Then I got married and had kids. Can't really be a grump when your 2 year old is saying, "sorry Miami lost daddy. I love you." So, now i smile and play with my kids.....until they go to bed, then i dont watch any ESPN and am grumpy until Wednesday.
BTW: I did notice that this last season after about loss 9 it started to get a bit comical for me. Then i fell into wondering how Miami would figure out a way to lose the next week.
 
I used to be cranky ALL day the following day, and basically not want to talk to anyone after the fact. I also used to throw things. I definitely yell.

I am a little bit more tame now, to where I just scream at the TV. Sometimes, I am driven to smoking to calm down ; )
 
Wow, Psychosis runs strong here....

I have never acted violent in any way, or threw a temper tantrum like ripping all my stuff of the wall. I usually take the loss to heart and hope they learn their mistakes and play better next week. I hate losing on a bye week though, cant redeem themselves within a week
 
Usually resort to yard work, though sometimes the edgeing comes out a little rough, but never the less, it's another day we as fans and the players learn from, and we will hopefully be better next week for it.

That's my reaction to a Dolphins loss... I ran out of TV's last season. :(
 
I react very calmly. I realize that it's just a game and has very little overall meaning in my life. It's all over blown of course and we can not contribute to the outcome of these games no matter how much we wish.


- By the way , this was a great season to hunt baby seals.
 
i wallow in self pity and curl up into a tiny ball, then i start going crazy and start laughing everytime feeley throws a td to the other team. either that or a play madden and beat the pats 200-0

I get pissed, curse like a sailor, and point out everthing wrong about the game and the team in genral.
 
Let's just say that people have been thrown out of the house at times after a loss. Sometimes during. Often physically.
