[b]1. Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers[/b]

In retirement, John Madden didn't leave us with enough onomatopoeia to describe all the hard-hitting, head-snapping, clock-cleaning and slobber-knocking that happens when Baltimore and Pittsburgh trade blows. The NFL's most visceral rivalry isn't for the faint of heart, stomach, mind or body. This is physical football at its best.

The defenses fly around smacking everything, but the offenses also have enough tough personalities to stand up and fight for every extra yard. Two players who come to mind immediately are Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward.

The teams clearly are the class of the AFC North, and playing each other three times a season might become a habit.




[b]I tell you what, when I read this my blood pressure goes up. I JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!! lmao, love the "descriptions....clock-cleaning, slobber-knocking" [/b]

Damn, to surpass Philly/Dallas, Dallas/Washington, Green Bay/Chicago, New England/Indianapolis, Oakland/The World, in only 15 years of being in the league is very exciting.

I can't wait for September.

this is a great rivalry cuz its like old school football you have had hitting trash talking you have everything a classic matchup has.

Of course it's the greatest rivalry. It's about time someone besides us realized it.

I think the second should be the lions versus the league. They failed this year.

The proximity of the cities make it even better because there fans are heavy in MD because Pittsburgh sucks as a city and our fans go there to smack talk
