As Sir Richard Robert stated in his highly regarded documentary, Taladega Nights - if you aint first, your' last.

I am familiar with the documentary of which you speak.  “Sir Richard’s” father (the originator of said quote) eventually disavows the notion, explaining that it was nonsense he spewed while higher than a kite.  

(If you’re going to reference a movie, try to remember how it turns out )

My apologies. I should have known better than to debate a connoisseur of that genre of intellect, i.e. a Steeler fan. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The last time the Steelers won a playoff game...Barack Obama was president.

“That genre of intellect” = knowing what happened in a movie that you brought up.  The fact that you would refer to someone who has a good memory as a “connoisseur” says a lot about you.  Though I am impressed that you knew the word and how to spell it.  

But keep your chin up, bud.  As a Bengal fan, you do have way more experience than I do at one thing: spinning embarrassing losses like this one.

And the last time the Bengals finished last, Joe Biden was president.

You're treading on dangerous waters, my friend. He can pull a "The last time the Bengals won a Super Bowl.... oh wait!" and then the thread ends.

That's alright. I'm standing by with, last time the Steelers were a real threat...Ben had some chick in a bathroom.

Better use it quick then …

And the last time the Steelers won a playoff game Obama was still President.

Easily impressed - as a Steeler fan should be.

Surprises are often impressive.

Scroll up and get back to me on that.

I've got nothing. We are shit right now.

Self awareness mitigates surprises. But you are a Steeler fan, so I understand.

Surprises related to one’s own psyche, perhaps, but in case you missed it, I was surprised by your self, not my own.  And since you seem to be confusing the two, I’m guessing you surprise yourself often.

Comprehension also seems escape Steeler fans.

I’d say that the proper use of infinitives seems to escape Bengal fans, but given that the evidence doesn’t appear to support such a broad generalization, I’ve decided to limit the observation to you.

But hey, it seems that we’ve strayed pretty far from your original comment.  Let’s get back to talking about how you tried to smack me with a movie quote, misunderstood the context of said quote, and then tried to insult me for having knowledge of such a dumb movie, even though you were the one who brought it up in the first place.  

Hmm … I’m beginning to see how the topic of self awareness is relevant here after all ...

Common sense also seems to escape Steeler fans. That makes it a trifecta:
Self awareness
Comprehension
Common sense
