That's the best fan meltdown video I've seen!

Honestly, I thought the video had reached its climax when he leaped up, tore the lightbulb from the dangling ceiling light fixture, and threw it against the wall.  I thought the rest would be denouement.

But when he leaped across the kitchen, tore the bar table out of the dry wall, and ran off screen to let out the best bitch-scream I've heard since my sister wrecked her Accord, I realized this Cowboys meltdown was taking it to a new level. 

Thanks for sharing this, Spicyweiner.  After recently moving away from Dallas (lived there for 7.5 years), it really made my week.  In my time there I was treated to numerous Cowboy meltdowns.

But this one takes the cake.

maybe bonsai trees or something.  A little meditation?  Something to calm his shit down.  If he was a Michigan fan, he would have destroyed a city block by now.

Wow, just WOW!

The fact he broke a glass table BEFORE the game ended is great. I get pissed watching games too. There are a few indentations in drywall from hats being tossed across the room but I've never gotten to the point were I'm breaking things that cost me much (I've always stopped myself even in a blind fit of rage).
I keep something breakable by me during games (pencil or sticks) to relieve any anger

I watched the entire video... Yeesh.

I was in the service and at my first duty station I worked with a guy who was a massive roid head and liked to drink Jack Daniels. 

One night he beat the shit out of a dryer. Myself and two other people couldn't pull him off of it. He just beat the living shit out of that dryer. 

Kind of reminded me of that.

I once punched through one of those cheap TV trays back when I was single.  Cant quite remember, but it was either the 2000 Purdue game or the 2000 Northwestern game.  Haven't broke anything since, although I have wanted to many many times.  Now that Im older and "wiser", I stop myself before hand, plus I dont really need my kids seeing me do some thing crazy like that.

I never understand how these make it to YouTube.  I mean, isn't it kind of an asshole move to film your friend doing this and then air it publicly?  Not to mention that if a guy is really that violently mad, wouldn't you want to get out of the way instead of holding your phone right in front of him?

I suspect a lot of these are staged.

I'm not sure the filmers were his "friends" in this case. 

Based on the apparent lack of cleanliness in the apartment, and the way in which each of the boys retreated to his own "room" once the rampage was in progress, I'm guessing the filmers are his roommates.  And roommates are not always friends. 

What better way to send a message to the crazy roommate?

Look, we all love sports...but shoot me in the face if I ever become THAT unraveled at a meaningless loss. The worst I've ever done is break a remote because it wouldn't comply with my wish to fucking work. For a game? I might yell loudly, inadvertently scare my dog, punch a pillow. But that's a rare occurrence in itself. It's just not worth it. Like, ever.

But yeah, this video was hilarious. I love the poetic justice of him breaking the glass table before Dallas even lost, and then Dallas losing anyway.

The first time was the GD hail mary against Colorado. I never forgave Ty Law. 

The second time was "clock-gate" against MSU. 

I "wanted" to throw the television out the window. But I never actually "did" it.
