Ming Fan - The mean Fan
The mean fan, Robert DeNiro, was relentless. When Snipes lost his spot to another player DeNiro got an itch to kill the replacement player, who he saw as a toxic parasite, while he was sitting in the damp steam room with nothing but a towel on. After DeNiro watched the guy bleed for a while he alleviated his diarrhea before leaving the crime scene. As he left the he spat a hot phlegm ball - no respect.

DeNiro obviously didn't have a weak stomach (cc: weak digestive system) nor did he care about the dead player's pregnant wife (cc: pregnancy). But killing the player in the steam room was just bad form, he could have been more thoughtful and killed the player (cc: in the absence of damp heat).
