GREATEST Rivalry In The HISTORY of Sports - Yankees vs. Sox

[matcom]

i'm an old Skins fan from birth. USED to think Skins vs. Cowboys was the best.

even in their PRIME that rivalry didn't COMPARE to Yankees vs. Red Sox

NOT.EVEN.CLOSE.

i will wager that THIS is the greatest. Of all time. PERIOD.

1. At this moment in the rivalry, I agree

The two best teams in baseball over the past decade, and they share a division.

2. When the dust settles after this weekend series

we'll know who is going to the World Series.

Go Bosox!

3. Skins/Boyz has sucked in recent years also, because the Boyz have

mostly owned the Skins, much to my dismay.

Weird rivalry. I think one of the Skins best years, one of their Super Bowl win years, one of their few losses was like the only win the Boyz had during their 1-15 year with young Troy Aikman, if I remember correctly.

8. And you would be correct...

I remember going around that whole next off-season thinking things weren't so bad because at least the Cowboys beat the Redskins. 1-15 wasn't so bad given that 1. :)

4. I dunno...

Lakers vs. Celtics was pretty good back in the day.

6. That's actually my all time fave. But Sox/Yankz has the history thing.

5. Try Auburn-Alabama

It's a goddamed civil war. I know 'cause I'm AU and Mrs LT is UA:nuke:

7. Hey...at least you married the opposition...

I won't even speak to people who went to Oklahoma.

Texas vs. OU has gotta be up there too.

[liberaltrucker]

9. VERY good point

But when you're in the same State and the opposition is a pretty blonde, well.......?

10. Flyers v. Rangers

Puhleeze - Philly v. New York! You can't buy that much animosity! :)

[Aristus]

11. The Whites vs. The Greens.

Chariot-racing clubs at Rome's Circus Maximus.

Hey, I'm old-school! B-)

12. They play sports in other countries, you know.

Some of those european football rivalries are epic.

13. Try Ohio State vs Michigan

It isn't one sided like Yanks/Sox was for decades on end.

14. Leafs vs Canadiens

[sasquatch]

15. The team names alone describe the cultural rivalry

They might as well be called the Frogs vs the Beavers.

16. broncos v raiders

or avalanche v red wings...

always dirty, bloody and entertaing as all get out

except now, with the salary cap, the elimination of ties and other changes made to the nhl, i think the days of the rivalry are numbered...

damn i miss peter forseberg already

17. Giants, Dogers!

[Poiuyt]

18. Packers vs Bears

The oldest rivalry in the NFL. Not as good these days, but that will change eventually.

19. Since I enjoy tennis, I'd like to mention John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg, and

also Jimmy Conners and John McEnroe. Haven't really seen any rivalries in tennis since them, and the sport has sort of suffered because of it.
