As far as fighting over smack, it is better to not let it get to you. I know that is easier said than done, but if someone is pestering you to the point of where you want to fight, just ask them what position they play. When they say "I don't play for the steelers", simply point out that you don't play for the Bengals, either, and that you are both spectators. So how does being a spectator for a team with championships make him better in any way, shape, or form unless he is (laughably) taking credit for someone else's accomplishments as though they are his own. This is what a loser does because he hasn't accomplished anything in his own life.
