Congrats on the job man.

The Waynesboro I am talking about is in VA. Is that the Waynesboro you are referring to?

Oic I'm talking about the one in PA. And thanks.

Wings-Blues is forced.

Lucky for you, you won't even have to freeze your *** off late in the year.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I hate the Eagles. I dont hate the Skins or Cowboys mostly because they have sucked so much on their own. But when the Eagles fail it warms my heart. I really hate them.

I'm with you on this much.

I respect the Giants because they've always given the appearance of a reasonably-well-run and blue-collar team, and up until this past year pitied the Redskins and their sheer ineptitude (even in the face of that of my Cowboys, lol). Even as they improve I can't really hate them now, though, because RGIII is unhateable.

I do inexplicably hate the Cleveland Browns, however.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Open ended poll: What is the most "forced" rivalry in sports, college or pro? AKA a rivalry that either the league, the fans, or both teams/schools try to make happen, but just isn't there.

The homer in me says Saints-Buccaneers, but Dodgers-Angels is up there, as well as Texas-Texas Tech

Twins-Brewers. I hate, Hate, HATE that we play them every single year in interleague.

Love you too, buddy.

That's so not a rivalry that I honestly didn't even think of it when thinking about who the Brewers' rivals are.

Re: Off Topic 2013

I remember hearing Packers/49ers referred to as a rivalry a few times last year.

That is not a rivalry.

One of my friends is convinced it is. In fact, we were discussing the '99 playoff game and he says he's still super ****ed at the 9ers simply because of that. Also, I think of it as a rivalry, because growing up I always remember those games being really intense.

My dad (who is a huge Twins fan) totally considers it a rivalry and really can't stand the Brewers... I just don't understand it.

Re: Off Topic 2013

What about unforced rivalries that should be?

I think Detroit & Toronto should be major rivals in any competition. Tigers/Jays, Wings/Leafs, hell give me Pistons/Raptors (someday maybe).

Re: Off Topic 2013

Is it weird that Twins/Brewers could be an answer for both of these questions?

It's not a rivalry at all right now because they're in the AL so who cares?

But if we were hypothetically moved into the same division, well, that could be fun.

Oh absolutely. I actually consider all the AL Central teams to be the Twins' rivals (with the exception of KC. They're just there.) and honestly, I don't know that most would consider the Twins/Indians to be rivals. Tigers and White Sox make sense, mostly because of the huge games they've played in (now less) recent years, but it you switched KC with Milwaukee, I could definitely see that being a legit rivalry in the near future.

Plus Detroit and Chicago are basically rivals in everything. The women on our streets are so much better looking than the women on GMSS's hometown streets

I was speaking more so of Tigers/Twins and White Sox/Twins. But you are right.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Orioles/Nationals is pretty forced. I'd consider the Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays rivals before the Nationals.
