Fumbles Foster: Jinxed?

“Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football.” -John Heisman

“I think the reality is that he has a ball security problem, not a fumbling problem.” – Phillip Fulmer

Message Board Mom: Sheesh not this crap. Now Foster’s Mom is spouting off in the news. She is a message board Drama Queen anyway. She loves the attention from the Jock Sniffers and the following article will only empower her even more. Pardon me if I must say that she reminds me of a raging Bammeroid or Mitch Mustain’s momma:

Arian Foster’s mother has never fumbled a football, but she knows the pain associated with such a miscue.

Curiosity first led Bernadette Foster to Internet message boards when her son was being recruited by several colleges from coast to coast.

Now, the poster known as Fostermom fashions herself as an advocate for college athletes.

Bernadette was at her strongest shortly after the UCLA loss when infamous UT booster Roy Adams drew her ire.

Adams, known as Tennstud, pointed out Arian’s fumble as a key play in the loss.

Bernadette tore into Adams with a message board post, claiming Adams was only about wooing athletes with gifts and money. Despite the attack, Bernadette insists she was never angry.

“The story behind me and Roy goes back a little further than that (post),” Bernadette said. “That was just the last straw as far as he and I were concerned.

“Had I gone off on him, there was plenty of other material that I could have addressed from an angry standpoint. But I didn’t because I wasn’t angry.

“That’s all that I’m going to say about Roy.”

Angry or not, Bernadette knows how tough a time this is for her son.

“At times like these,” she said, “he has to work really hard to keep his attitude positive, has to work hard to keep his attitude right.”

Fostering as defined by the Urban Dictionary: A condition in which a person has trouble either catching, or maintaining possession of an item. Usually refers to a pigskin, football or the “rock” but can be applied to dropping Momma’s fine china on Thanksgiving Day or dropping a condom behind the headboard during application prior to coitus.

Stems from the word “Fumble” in football, in which a player loses possession of the football. Almost always occurs during moments of acute stress specifically when the desired end-state of a situation is within the grasp of an individual but then victory slips through the fingers of the fostering individual resulting in disaster.

Fostering is not limited to sports:

1) Dude why did you just foster the Christmas turkey on the floor? Now we gotta eat spam covered with brown sugar instead.

2)All he had to do was juke the Florida Safety and he would have had 6!!! But he lost his emotions and effing tossed the ball into the stands, fostering the game away.
Game over, Florida Tatters our windsock again…

3) Fuck, I just fostered my Myoplex shake all over my denim shorts!!!
