A person who talks a big game and runs their mouth with trash talk before and after a game, trying to mask their softness and lack of grit. Despite all the hype, a "Sawyher" can never actually beat their rivals and ends up losing every time. When they inevitably lose the big game to their daddy, they turn into a sore loser, sulking, whining, and making excuses like a crybaby.
"Yo, stop being a Jack Sawyer. You talk all that trash, but can't even beat your main rival."
"Man, #33 went full Jack Sawyer after getting curb-stomped by Michigan".
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
