You misread my statement.I don't care if it's a poll or an article. An article is written by a person. I don't even know what you have to disagree about... I just said that I don't understand how the rivalry is getting less intense. Saying that the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry is overhyped and then citing ESPN is hypocritical. ESPN is the main source in the world of sports hype. Michigan and OSU have had great matchups, and so have the Red Sox and Yankees. Many other teams have as well. That's opinion, but if you look at what the Red Sox and Yanks have been doing over the past 10 years or so, I don't know how anybody could say it's getting less intense. If anything, it's getting more intense.</div>I don't really watch baseball, I have a hard time paying attention to the MLB. What have they been doing that deserves so much hype for best rivalry?
Army vs Navy in college football is big to both branches, even though Navy keeps destroying Army, it's still huge.

The Sox were down 3-0 to the Yankees in the AL championship series, then came back to win four in a row and take the series. They went on to sweep the Astros and break the so-called curse of the Bambino.There's also that brawl they had a few years back, if you saw the picture earlier in the thread.edit: those are just a couple examples, not everything I could possibly findedit2: here's a very long article about it... link. The Gary Sheffield thing is pretty good, too.
How is the Sox/Yanks rivalry getting less intense?!?!?! If anything, it has got more intense. Red Sox coming back from 3-0 to go on and win the World Series. Aaron Boone game winning home run in the ALCS. The rivalry is getting better and better.
1.) UNC/Duke2.) Yankees/Red Sox3.) Michigan/Ohio State4.) Redskins/Cowboys5.) Lakers/Celtics (Kinda lost it's fuse over the years, but still they put up pretty good games versus eachother.)
1. The BEST rivalry of all!!! EAST AND THE WEST!!!! 2. Nuggets and Cavs (mostly Anthony and James)3. Celtics and Lakers 4. Maple Leafs and Canadiens (NHL)5. Yankees and the Red Sox

Yankees and the Red Sox</div>Whoa, I can't believe you ranked the Celtics and Lakers higher than the Yankees and Red Sox. I'm just saying, because the Lakers and Celtics don't have that fuel of fire and hate like they once had, even though some is still there; but look at the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry, and it's still running strong between the two for the power of the AL East.
