Last night, I found myself sitting at a table in the bar at Chili's. Since The Wife and the kids went over to someone's house for dinner, I was on my own. This is the normal routine for Wednesday night and it seems to work out. So, I'm having an appetizer and a brew, watching the Lakers game and I find myself coming up with a new word, Fanemy. It's a mixture of fan and enemy. If you follow sports, you've seen this person whether it is at the stadium or in a bar. They are rooting for the opposing team and love being in the spotlight. They give abuse as well as take it, depending what happens in the game.
And the fanemy for the night was a guy in a Spurs jersey. He was going at it with a couple of fans also there. Lots of clapping, smack talk and the like were happening and no one took it too far. I honestly have no problems with a fanemy though it would be far more impressive to be a fanemy at Staples Center or at one of the local Raider bars then at the local Chili's.
