"   Nick Lachey seems like such a level-headed guy, but he was kicked out of a Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Diego Chargers game over the weekend for talking a bunch of trash to Chargers fans.  Lachey&amp;#039;s behavior is nothing new: Tons of guys get aggressive over sports teams. It&amp;#039;s super annoying for us, though: We get into games, too, but don&amp;#039;t behave like little kids about it. Why do guys insist on talking smack about sports to each other? We asked psychotherapist Ryan Kappel, LSW, to give us a reason\u2014any reason\u2014why.  &amp;quot;A lot of sports fans altercations have to do with people being territorial and feeling the need to stick up for their home team,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;When you combine that territoriality with an already aggressive environment, it can lead to some people taking things too far.&amp;quot; Kappel added that it&amp;#039;s usually harmless talk, unless your guys starts picking fights with people or won&amp;#039;t back down when confronted with his behavior. Sure, ultimately you&amp;#039;re not responsible for your guy&amp;#039;s aggressive behavior, Kappel said, but you can help by taking him out of the situation for a few minutes\u2014even a short walk can put the whole thing into perspective.  And maybe he&amp;#039;ll realize it&amp;#039;s just a game. Tell us: How do you deal when your guy freaks out over sports? Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter.
