I had a similar situation come up a while back while playing a league match.
I played a good safety and one of the opposing players said, "That's chicken sh*t pool!"
He kept it up until I turned and looked at him and said, "If you could play pool as well as you run your mouth, you'd be the world champion. You'd give Efren Reyes the 7 Ball!"
It shut him up.
The next day, I ran into one of the guys from the opposing team and he asked me, "Who's this Efren guy?"
It ends up they thought he was some local player they'd never heard of.
I got a pretty good laugh out of that one.
