As the Steelers playoff match-up against the San Diego Chargers approaches, the trash talk amongst the fans is really heating up.
Chargers fan forums are already full of verbal volleys headed toward anything black and gold and those who love the Steelers.
On the San Diego Union-Tribune Bolts Blog, Charger fans are, of course, predicting a Steelers loss.
So KDKA's Ross Guidotti took some of those posted predictions to the Pittsburgh streets to read them to their intended audience first hand.
"Let them talk. Let them talk and see what happens when they bring it on the field," said Steelers fan, Harry Dayton. "That's all, that's all I have to say."
The Charger fans are claiming that the defense will crush Big Ben. One comment read that a semi-conscious Ben helps the Bolts chances of winning.
One Charger fan said, "I like our chances just like in '94 when we went in your house and stole it."
Another Charger fan predicted an absolute blowout, saying the mercy rule will have to be put into effect.
But diehard Steelers fans aren't buying it.
"We can point toward the trophy case," said another Steelers fan. "Smack talk or not, you know, we have the championships to show for it."
The game kicks off this Sunday afternoon at Heinz Field.
