I'd love to agree with you raza (Skins fan BTW), except it's not much of a feud when the Redskins have only won 1 of the last 13 meetings between the teams.

 

Unless this is like the Raven/Dreamer ECW feud where Dreamer never wins.

Don't forget about individual sports rivalries too.

 

Ali/Frazier comes to mind.

 

I'm not a tennis buff, but McEnroe/Connors is up there as well.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Ohio State/Michigan

Yankees/Sox

 

and at least certainly over the past decade or so,

 

Packers-Vikings. And this is one that's only getting worse and worse as time goes on, keep in mind this is the only rivalry (at least the only one I know of) that's as close to even for as long as it's gone on (44-43 in Green Bay's favor including the playoff loss).

Celtic vs Rangers = Catholics vs Protestants

 

Real Madrid vs Barcelona = Spanish history lesson

 

Modern era tennis = Graf vs Seles. The stabbing robbed us of seeing this one finish properly as the post-injury Seles, although still a top player, wasn't quite the same force.

 

Sampras vs Agassi. Had some nearly flawless matches.

Oklahoma/Texas.....ok that's a homer pick....but it's a huge college fb rivalry and does have to be played on a neutral site.

I know I'm biased, but all these posts and nobody mentioned Duke/UNC???

 

I'm not in NC anymore, but that gets my vote.

[Secret Agent 0]

OU/Nebraska used to be a bad ass rivalry until the Big 12 split them up to only play like once every 2 years. :\

[Guest]

Ohio State-Michigan and Duke-UNC come to mind.

Red Sox v. Yankees

Leafs v. Sens

Canucks v. Avs

Canucks v. Wild

Historic reasons Montreal and Toronto and Calgary and Edmonton. You can even add Toronto/Phili and to some degree Toronto/New Jersey.

True but if this is the only win of the season it would be considered successful.

[Kurt Angle Mark 0]

UNC-Duke

 

Yankees-Red Sox

 

Chivas- America (Mexican Soccer)

[caboose 0]

Boca Juniors Vs River Plate.

 

Maybe not a great rivalry, but certainly an ugly, personal rivalry.

[razazteca 0]

Damn a futbol reference from caboose.

[BruiserKC 0]

Dodgers-Giants

 

Cardinals-Cubs

 

Raiders-Broncos

[AlwaysPissedOff 0]

Alabama/Auburn, obviously.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0]

From the fans perspective, Yanks/Mets is a big rivalry.

[CanadianChris 0]

Pacers/Pistons.

 

No, not really.

 

I'd probably go with Yankees/Red Sox.

[KanadianKrusty 0]

I'm going with Yanks/Sox, with Habs/Nordiques as a close second because of all the bloody chaotic brawls.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Yankees-Sox.

 

I bleed Hab red but don't really hate any other team.

[RepoMan 0]

AC Milan and Liverpool I guess. I'm sure their are better in soccer. Soccer will always have the best rivalry's b/c they're oftern based on cultural, political, and historical grounds.

 

I think OSU-Michigan is the best US rivalry. Yanks/ Sox is overated because the Sox have been the Yanks bitch for so long , and wining the WS one time still dosn't make a dent in NY's dominance.

[NoCalMike 0]

Yanks/Sox is a tough one to top, especially in recent years.

 

In football it HAS to be the Skins/Cowboys, because the media seems to make a big deal over it even when both teams are shit, and ratings for those games are always through the roof.

Historical - Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears

Biggest/Most Watched - New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox

My Favorite - Erik Morales vs. Marco Antonio Barrera (There should be a fourth fight next year)

[Guest Vitamin X]

Red Sox v. Yankees

Leafs v. Sens

Canucks v. Avs

Canucks v. Wild

If you're using hockey as an example, you forgot to throw in Avs-Red Wings..
