They are two of the greatest players in history for their respective clubs, and they're going at it in the media - albeit in a good natured way! 

Pittsburgh Steelers legend and Arizona Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald are both participating in the American Century Golf Tournament at Lake Tahoe, and they both traded a few funny jabs at one another. 

"My biggest rival is Larry Fitzgerald," Bettis said via WPXI. "He's always trying to figure out what my number is going to be. ... Last year we tied. It's always, who's going to beat who."

Fitzgerald responded with the following: 

"I wouldn't say we're rivals. I'm a Pittsburgh guy. He's a Pittsburgh guy. We both love the city of Pittsburgh, and all the organizations and people from inside. I'm not a rival of his," Fitzgerald said. "I just like beating him up on the golf course. I wouldn't call that a rivalry. I enjoy getting in his pockets. It's pretty easy place to get. Especially now, he can't hit it as far, the putting has gotten a little shaky, the chipping is not as good. So, he's easy money. For anybody in Pittsburgh that wants to get in Jerome Bettis' pocket, there's no better time than now."

Hey, nothing like a little bit of good natured jabs at one another!
