Leeds United vs Man Utd (scum). There are more famous rivalries in English footie but none are as bitter. Even now when my team are sh*t Man Utd fan hate us, and vice versa.

It's become so overdone and shoved down our throats. You guys in Boston and New York love it, but the rest of us can't stand it.
My favorite is Tennesee/Florida. It's not as old as Tennessee/Alabama, but I just hate Florida with a passion. Their fans are idiots really. Man, I just don't like Florida...

<span style="font-family:Tahoma">Everyone vs. Cleveland. :\But really, Detroit and Cleveland are starting a big rivalry. In NBA, and now in MLB. If they were in our division in NFL, they'd start one there too. </span>

I like Ravens vs steelers and Bulls vs pistons. Alot of competition and history to both those rivalries. I would say cleveland-baltimore but I cant recall the browns beating us more then 2-3 times since we've come into the nfl.

Giants-Dodgers is as good or better. My favorite is ASU-UA in any sport. Hopefully ASU improves in basketball and UA improves in football before I go to college.Suns don't really have a rivalry. They were dominated by the Lakers but when we are good the Lakers suck so nothing special happens there. Spurs have been one-sided too. I'd say Suns and Mavs, but that's only 3 years long.D-Backs haven't played a full decade yet...Cardinals blow...Rattlers-San Jose is great, but it is Arena Football and the Rattlers haven't been good in a while.
haha I dont see how you can say the giants/dodgers is betterThe Red Sox and Yankees is the most epic rivalry ever. Boone's homer in the '03 ALCS.The Yankees sweep at the end of June/beginning of July in '04 where Jeter made that spectacular catch and that series took the Sox about out of it.Pedro throwing Zimmer after beaning Karim Garcia and Manny nearly getting plunked in the dome by Clemens in '03.Bill Mueller's walk off homer off Riviera in the game where Varitek and A-Rod faught.Game 1 of the 99 ALCS.Moose's near no-hitter.Dave Roberts' steal, Curt Schillings bloody sock, and David Ortiz's clutchness in the '04 ALCS.The Red Sox getting their WS rings before facing the Yankees. Sheffield fighting with the fan.Damon defecting.Yankees 5 game sweep of the Sox to kill them that year.And thats all just in the last few years, and as I edit this I realize I didn't even mention Bucky Dent. This rivalry is unmatched, no rivalry ever can have anything on this one.

Just because the media pretends like each of the 20 some games is the greatest thing to ever happen doesn't mean it's true. There are plenty of rivalries with big games and great memories. this one just gets more attention because of where the teams are located. It is a top 3 rivalry, but not far and away the best at all
The nearest thing to rivalry in Arizona is probably UA/ASU baseball :no1: my favorite: Colts vs Patriots
