if you're self-deprecating about it, you'll only get the initial comments but not much else. fans of opposing teams will only push the issue if they see you're still in denial. I get tons of chuckles trading "we all suck" barbs with oiler fans at work. it's almost like we're hard-luck hobos keeping each others spirits up beside the fire barrel.
if you really want a rough ride though, try telling a leaf or oiler fan that their team isn't as good as the standings show, due to their fenwick close numbers. in fact, stats backlash is annoyingly trendy these days, I don't know why. makes my brain swell and increase my concussion risk.
