Best Sports Rivalries

What is your favorite?

For me, witout a shadow of a doubt, Miami vs Florida State.

So much talent on both teams each and every time. Baseball, Football, Track. Close proximity, most having grown up together, same high schools, rivialries built since birth. Fueled through the professional ranks. As soon as the schedules are posted, everyone loks to see,... Miami/FSU.

Second, Boston vs New York
Wider Margin in terms of winning, as New York dominates, with Boston playing the role of little brother, always trying to beat the bigger, older brother but not quite. This past week, another brawl. A wonderous brawl fueled by an undying hatred for the other side. Something that is hard to express sometimes, something Carlos Zambrano in his young years already has in the Chicaco/St Louis rivalry, is always present in the Boston/New York rivalry.

Third
Personal choice, one that unless your a fan, you might not realize, Cincinnati vs Xavier. Cross town rivals, a rivalry of the little guy always beating the big bully. Most hated of them all, as with the Mia/FSU, some of these kids have known each other since birth, the Queen Cities most prized recruits staying home to suit up in either the Black and Red or the Blue and White. Fist fights almost daily in the local malls. One team always better than the other, except on that one day.

Honorable Mention
Chicago and Green Bay. Hatred Rivalry, but paled due to lack of success in recent years by Chicago.
