frontrunner

Also known as "Fair-weather fan".

People who only support sports teams that recently win championships and then claim they liked that team all along. These people can be highly annoying, approaching them may result in increased levels of stress and aggression. Frontrunners may claim they have a relative or were born in the state where the winning team is from. Do not trust them at any cost.

Mike:"I told you my Gators would win!"
Wes:"You go to UCF, frontrunner."

putting or placing something "on the front burner" means that it is important, or a priority. (an unimportant event or person could be said to be on the "back burner") From the setup of a cooking range, where items on the front burner are closer to you and can be watched over more easily and effectively.

I gotta put paying my bills on time on the front burner since I got behind. That guy is so hot, he's a front burner for sure.

frontrunner

1. someone who gives up when the going gets tough
2. When a team is facing an early deficit, for example a 28-7 deficit in the first quarter, a front runner will throw in the towel and tell his wife to not show up to the game

Steven might be a frontrunner because when his team gets down early he often believes his team won't come back and we should just give up
