Worst claims from fans?

Submitted by joeyb on

After the loss today (or I guess yesterday at this point), I went to the store to pick up some Coke before I headed over to the Chinese restaurant to pick up dinner. When I was checking out, the cashier who has been working there for at least 10 years now asks me if I think there will be a new coach after this season. I am already a little exhausted after watching another late game break down and I respond with a brisk "No." He continues to say, "Well, some of us were talking about it and..." That's where I cut him off and said "He just signed his contract which has a buyout of 4 million dollars for his first three seasons. He is going to be around for 3 or more seasons." I could have gone on in my reasoning but I had just finished paying and I didn't feel like taking the time to educate someone who obviously has chosen to be ignorant already.

I had heard about people calling for his head, but I guess everyone that I associate with knows at least a little bit about what is going on and understood going into the season that this wouldn't be a good season.

So, now, I am curious to read what other outrageous claims other people have heard.

The people I was at the bar with yesterday were insisting that Rodriguez should be fired at the end of this year.  They admittedly know nothing about football, but instead of asking questions, they were making statements.  I'm okay with people who know nothing about football and ask questions, because at least they're trying to learn.  But people who make statements about it drive me nuts.
