But then you'll see him smiling a little broader when we get a W over the Cowboys. That's your proof that the Cowboys are still the biggest rival.
Just because we fans want to see the idiotic Eagles fans eat crow, that doesn't make the Eagles the TEAM's biggest rival. Ask any Redskin who they want to beat most, they'll say Dallas. Ask any Cowboy who they want to beat most, they'll say Washington.
Gibbs vs Parcells. I mean come on, how could it not be Dallas?

I've never been to Dallas, but I have been to Philly. And no offense to those who call it home (I have family there), I think that city has no redeemable values. And the fans' crass is a reflection of that city's putridness (that a word?).
But like you say Schneed it is about the team, not the fans. And really what makes the Dallas rivalry better is the success Dallas has had in this league; and how often times either the Redskins or Cowboys were in the other's way to a greater goal. The Eagles have been the dominant team in the division the past few years, but they have no history of success like Dallas and the Skins do. They've done nothing really.
