2008 schedule looks pretty good....so far

Is there much of a Skins-Ravens rivalry? Giants-Jets is pretty non-existant. I used to have a Football computer game that allowed you to create your own league. I remember I went East-West ala hockey and basketball. Put Jets and Giants in same division along with Skins and Ravens, san fran oakland, any of your natural geographic rivalries.

I moved away from DC before the Ravens existed so I'm not speaking locally, but I hate the Ravens. I hate them for the same reason I hate the Colts though. Teams that sneak away from a solid and supportive fan base piss me off. I can't blame teams that relocate due to a lack of support (ATL?) Cleveland has always supported that team even when they suck.

I think there is. I go to a pretty newly co-ed school (used to be all girls, so its still mostly girls there) and those chicks are nuts for the Ravens and they absolutely cannot stand anything that has to do with the Redskins and they aren't very classy about it either.

I think there would be more of a rivalry if the Ravens were actually in the NFC. Then it would be pretty interesting.

But I think it's kinda like how when the Orioles play the Nats. Its just a rivalry because the teams are so close in location. Kinda like "Whose the best beltway team".

I mean don't people in NY lose their minds when the Yanks play the Mets?

Arizona at home again. That sucks. I would rather have Seattle.

Mets fans moreso than yanks. Yankees fans are more concerned with Bahsten. If you offer every met fan free tickets to any game, most will take one of the Yankee games. If you offer the same to a yankee fan, most will take a Bahsten game.
