Stuff like that. I usually get rid of them once they stop amusing me by talking about obscure facts and trivia.. Many bandwagon fans in the office. They'll cheer me as I replace the flags on the top of our building with Flames flags... then heckle me when I've taken them down after the past 2 years...
Drives me nuts now that I think of it.

LOL..I love how they give themselves away with their little stories. But whatever, sports is all about bandwagoners...every team has them.
