The BEST 'CURRENT RIVALRY' in SPORTS?

[LarryTalbot]

If you want bloodshed, then Romania is the country for you.

Dynamo Bucharest vs. Steaua Bucharest.

With all the cages surrounding the field, you'd think you were watching a UFC match. Of course this rivalry isn't recognized here in the U.S., but it's the only sporting fixture where you're guaranteed to get hit by one of the flares.

I know many here might not think so but USA-Mexico is a huge rivalry in soccer. Both teams hate the living piss out of each other. After USA scored the second goal, the Mexico goalkeeper tried to trip another USA player that was running by. It was obvious. USA won 2-0.

Afterwards, the Mexico players refused to shake hands with the USA.

GSUS, Cheering for the Yankees is like going to the Casino and cheering for the House. They spend all the money they are supposed to win.

You might as well stand behind the the blackjack table and cheer
"Oooo Dealer just busted your ass"

And the Red Sox, they are Atlantic City to the Yankees Las Vegas.

Either way my teams going home broke

 

[steaktartar]

[Smartass]

Alabama-Auburn should be mentioned...those people fucking HATE each other.

Sorry, rivalries have to be competitive.

 

[kingbill]

Edmonton Oilers - Calgary Flames

 

[billhill999]

Lakers v. Celtics
Pistons v. Cetlics
Ohio St. . Michigan
UCLA v. USC

Finally somebody brings this up....

Oklahoma-Texas

 

[RobFunk]

And Raiders/49ers

Although it is a bit weak right now.

But they cant stand each other.

 

[Fishhead]

Packers-Bears... oldest one and the coaches may be too nice now... but back in Ditkas days he fucking hated them

Your the only one(I think) that has mentioned BEARS-PACKERS.

BEARS/PACKERS would be my choice.

FLORIDA-GEORGIA is one CFB rivalry that often goes unmentioned but is very good.

On the high school level, WEST BEND vs. TWIN RIVERS(IOWA).

 

[The_Man]

its gotta be michigan/ohio state in college football.

 

[geauxhome]

watch for the LSU/BAMA rivalry to blow the hell up

 

[HarryCaray]

I say Ohio St./Michigan

Cubs/Cards a good one in the midwest...even when we suck (almost always), we still always give them a good game.

Unfortunately, Bears/Packers doesn't mean very much to the Bears.

Unfortunately, Bears/Packers doesn't mean very much to the Bears.

Obviously the BEARS have this same attitude towards all teams.............

 

[billhill999]

its gotta be michigan/ohio state in college football.

I always wondered why sportscasters and the media always say Michigan first than OSU when reporting the rivalry.

How about this one?

Ward v. Arturo Gatti

 

[FairWarning]

Obviously the BEARS have this same attitude towards all teams.............

Lot of Bears hate by Fish lately. Hmmm. Second best record in the league and a Super Bowl appearance the last two years.
