Hey, I get angry, too, when … say, Ryan Grant goes for just 20 yards on 15 carries … again. (You know, hypothetically, of course.) Some people get a little too worked up, though.

According to the Charlotte (Fla.) Sun-Herald, a 35-year-old man was arrested Sunday morning on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly threatening his roommate with a knife because he was upset by the low scores of his fantasy football team.

When police arrived at the scene, Chester Marcial “Chet” Ward admitted to being angry about his fantasy team, said that he asked his roommate to move out and claimed to have sliced the pages of a book the roommate was reading when the guy ignored him. The roommate, on the other hand, claimed that Ward held the knife to his neck after slicing the book and threatened his life.

Ward’s choice to resist arrest — which included assaulting a police officer and was bad enough to get him Tasered — would seem to lend more credibility to the roommate’s version of events.

There’s no word yet on whether the aggressor is a Derek Anderson owner.
