It’s no Superbowl Shuffle, but I’m sure most semi-conscious residents of the Tampa Bay area have seen those swell ads for News Channel 8’s Bucs coverage. You know the ones with the awkwardly spliced flashes of Bucs players and staff going “yeah!” and “woo!” while we all get the quick edit, hand-held treatment from the camera. That makes it edgy, by the way.

While a Google search turns up nothing, there’s no way I’m the only one who noticed that the tag for that campaign “Fanatical Bucs Fans” is hilariously redundant. Like, dudes, where do you think the word “fan” comes from?

It’s not even your garden variety redundancy, like remarking that “the ice was frozen.” No, it’s worse than that. It’s like using the adjectival form of a noun to describe the noun from which the adjective was originally derived. Wait, it’s not even like that. It actually is that. High fives all around everybody. High fives. Hey, who just smacked my ass? Not cool, broski.
