I think the Pokes' rivary with the Redskins is still the strongest. However, I was at a store in which I know the guys in it, and I mentioned Philly and NY as the second runner up rivalries. The guys were surprised about the Phillie one and almost were dubious about it. But I was insistent. Funny you mention those. Even though I don't live near my team, the Pokes, I still have followed them enough to know what's what in terms of rivalries. "How those Cowboys!" I called my mother last night. Cowboys are a bigger religion than the Baptist church in Texas (although Baptists would not admit this since many of them secretly drink beer as well). No offense to Baptists, but I grew up with the America's Team and was let out of church earlier when a Pokes game was on at noon CST. My spouse is a Chiefs fan. Their team was great I guess when young, but they cannot hold it together. Spouse is no longer vested in the team because they disappoint easily. Hedley: I disagree.

Much like the signs in Chicago that show the route to Green Bay, and the ones in Green Bay that laugh at the ones in Chicago. Yes.

You are right OW that the next one will be on your turf and it will be a down to the wire game as well. I wonder how many non-fans of either team understand this rivalry as we do? One of my fondest memories of visiting DC was seeing a sign in a Georgetown bar which illustrated I-30 going to Dallas. It mirrored one I saw in Dallas the decade before going the other direction.
