How are you handling the smart alecs

[Craic]

How are you handling the smart alecs that want to rub your nose in the loss?

I developed a standard line this morning when a buddy posted something on facebook.


"Naaa, six lombardies eases the pain quite a lot."

Unfortunately, so many of my friends are Cryboys fans. I just say 6>5 or when was the last time you were in the playoffs again?

[zulater]

I just laugh them off, who cares? The Steelers played in the last meaningfull game of the season, only one team had a better season, and no one's history is greater, so what do any of us have to hang our head about?

I apply the principal of Proverbs 25:21-22...and compliment them

Proverbs 25:21-22

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the LORD will reward you.

Yeah, but when it is your fellow bible college buddies...

My uncle said it best after the game on Sunday... "If anyone wants to bust you about the Steelers, just tell 'em to f*ck off"

[Merchant]

I ignore em. I only know one true Packers fan, and all he said was "Good game budd. Close one." The rest are just a bunch of morons trying to get a reaction out of me. I don't give em the satisfaction of getting that reaction.

No one has given me any crap about the loss.

Losing the big Bowl sucks, but there is a sense of pride that comes with it. As badly as the Steelers played yesterday with all their turnovers, they still had several legitimate chances to win the game.

Getting 7 would've been nice, but the only thing we lost yesterday was a chance to pull away from the others in the 'Most Lombardies' race. At the end of the day, we still have SIX, more than anyone else. Remember, six is better than five, Cryboy fans.

One thing that I hate about sports, is that the team that loses in the Championship Game gets picked apart by the media...where all the holes are on the team, etc. Then you have fans that act like the loser of the game stinks. It doesn't matter the sport. It happens in all of them.

[Steel Hurtin]

I could care less to be honest. Steelers fans are used to the hate, whether we make it to the Super Bowl or not.

[steelreserve]

"Yeah? Blow me."

Exactly.

Have even seen fans say that this game proves that Clay Matthews should have won the DPOY award.

Either that or give him an RKO (for you wrasslin' fans out there).

[tube517]

I'd prefer a Stunner w/2 middle fingers or The People's Elbow combined w/ The Rock Bottom.

It really is a blessing to live in the Burgh. When I was out for a bit yesterday, I saw a lot of people wearing their Steelers gear, including yours truly!

I rarely ever run into fans from other teams but when I do and they make a comment about my Steelers, I just hold up six fingers and smile and that usually shuts them right up.

[vasteeler]

i usually just say" well, when you have been to 8 superbowls you are bound to lose a couple"

[43Hitman]

i usually just say" well, when you have been to 8 superbowls you are bound to louse a couple"

this.

[Pete The Greek]

I am ignoring them. This loss still stings.

[tube517]

[Dino 6 Rings]

not well...I'm using violent vulgarity.

I had off yesterday, but people have "mentioned" it to me and tried to laugh...I've been pretty nasty. Hopefully word spreads to leave me the fck alone.

[SteelerEmpire]

Usually their not packers fans, just fans of other teams or "media" born fans because of the media's hyping of the packers for this game that give me a hard time. I just poke fun at their for real team or ask them a question a "real" packers fan would know... like what is the first and last name of their head coach. lol... half cannot answer that one.
But if I have to, I just use the good ol' fail safe rebuttal: we STILL are the kings of the hill with 6 SB's ! That shuts em up every time.

[Devilsdancefloor]

NOT very well, but give me a few days

[BigPoppaG]

Surrounded by deadskin fans...what are they gonna say?

[Lambert_Loonie]

I give credit to Green Bay, admit that Pittsburgh didn't play up to their standard and mention that the Steelers will be back in the Super Bowl again, because that's what they do.

[steeldevil]

No one really said anything. Its Duke-Carolina week. That is keeping people from saying shit to me as well as well as keeping my mind off the loss.


Of course, if Duke loses tomorrow I won't hear the end of that for a whhhiiillleeeee.....

[GutterflowerSteel]

It can be rough here in Raisins country - they're SO gleeful, and even the local tv news anchors commented before the game that they hoped the Steelers would lose. I just give credit where it's due - I did tell one loudmouth that as long as the Steelers continue to beat their sorry Raisin asses, then I'm good

I can live with the Stunner, but the RKO is just more...final, if you ask me! And I have to admit...I really miss The Rock in the ring and the People's Elbow. Too bad he's gone Hollywood.

"Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin...man, that brings back memories and also shows my age!

[tube517]

B-b-bb-b-b-but Ronnie sold out and got paid off by JJ Dillon and the Horsemen!

Or go old skool with a "Hands of Stone Ronnie Garvin Knock-out Punch"

[SteelCityMan786]

I just give em something like this: I know of 30 other teams that would have loved to have traded places with us, and several fans would love to trade what I have got to enjoy in 19 years of living.
