Chris from Rochester Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 After a Josh turnover yesterday, I was extra annoyed, flipped my ottoman and it ended up breaking the screen on my fireplace. My stupidity caused me to miss the pick by White as I had to look online to find a replacement screen. This got me thinking, over the years what have you broken because of over emotion during games, or is it just me and if so the names of any good anger management places would be appreciated 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger though, I broke a bunch of TV remotes, and after the first loss to the Cowboys in the SB I went outside in the dark and smashed up an old car with a sledge hammer I had parked behind my fathers garage. gene...you and i need to talk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I broke a remote once, but that was like 10-12 years ago. Age has mellowed me. I hope it does you too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I am generally able to not break stuff in the house, but I do scare the dog a lot. I watch a lot of games outside and I throw stuff all the time. After that "InTeRcEpTiOn" from the Rams game, my neighborhood is lucky I didn't set the entire thing on fire. I did throw my beer over my back fence from the house. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I once broke a pair of binoculars when I banged them against the wall in the 1st row of the club level endzone seats. Since it was the end of the game, I didn't realize it until the next time I tried to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can't really remember having broken anything in anger over a Bills game. The 4 SB's made me pretty much immune to anything in that manner. I have dropped thousands of curse laden tirades over the years though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 When the Music City Forward Lateral happened, I took my Bills hat off & fired it at my tv. The hat stuck in the gap between the tv & the entertainment center (pre-flatscreen). Hours later when I'd stopped fuming, I took the hat out, the bill was cracked in half.

I threw a football in a small basement and almost destroyed my friend's stereo. But that was in my younger days. Now I just sit their non-plussed when Buffalo loses in heartbreaking fashion...such as the Hail Murray throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Never broken anything.. Wife bought me a nerf brick years ago. Used to toss that. Most thing at risk is the bones in my hand as I slam the chair, 🙂 It's good that things are at risk again. Haven't been this keyed up over Bills football since the 90's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 You people realize that it’s rare to play a perfect game. One bad or unfortunate play doesn’t automatically decide the outcome. I mean we were still winning at that point, wasn’t even a game losing play. I swear, feels like no one here watches any other football and doesn’t know that good teams make these kinds of plays all the time and still win the game. KC turned the ball over a couple times late too against TB, and after dominating TB most the game allowed them to come back and make it close finish...but KC still won. The focus and over reaction around here on individual plays or even individual games is always so over the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I used to go through about one DirecTV remotes per season typically when we were officially eliminated. It’s amazing how non-durable they are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) That’s too funny. I’m an adult I don’t break things or throw temper tantrums. It’s a game it’s meant to be fun right? Entertainment? There are plenty of things to get angry enough at without allowing a game to upset you that much. I’d expect that behavior from a teenager. I could maybe understand for the gamblers who have decent money on the line but as a regular fan it seems childish.

Livinginthepast Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have never broken anything but the Bills have given me several moments of crumbling on to my hands and knees in despair in the past 40 years of fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Broken two knuckles punching a wall over the music city lateral. Nowadays I just laugh at bad games/plays.

Jeffalo Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 First Bills Superbowl. I had a Marine Midland ceramic Bills helmet bank that had been on my dresser since I was a kid. As Norwood's kick sailed wide right, the helmet sailed across the living room and shattered as it hit the wall. The good news is I was also wide right of the television. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlonce Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Never broke anything but, a bunch of us were at a friends house for The Bills v Washington Super Bowl Game. The host had just purchased a new TV for the game. After a Bills interception we jumped up ,and when we hit the floor the tv(it’s was on a spring loaded base) flew out and landed on my foot. Didnt feel it, but we sweated out the tv was broken, but it didn’t. No one cared about my foot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Back to the original post....In my 20's we were playing the Broncos and lined up for what I believe was the winning FG. As the ball was snapped, I stood up and went through the kicking motion, I proceeded to swing my foot forward and kicked the bottom of the couch. Really hard. I don't recall whether the (Bills') kick was good, but I do remember that I broke my toe (it might have even been 2). In that instance, it was just the excitement of the moment, and not in anger. I definitely get emotionally involved in games. These days, I am a bit calmer than my younger days, although I do yell and curse at the screen during games and sometimes will pound on the couch or chair after a bad play. I don't break anything. I also get excited and yell for positive plays too. I often have my kids around, so that tempers me a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Unfortunately, I'm not a season ticket holder who attends every home game, so I'm not a real Bills fan. Therefore, I don't get angry enough to break anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
