It's hard to imagine a regular-season game that could generate more hype than Sunday's matchup between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. This has everything you want in a rivalry, including history, talent and an understanding that they ultimately have to go through one another to claim a championship.
In fact, the game is so eagerly anticipated that it got us thinking: How does it measure up against some of the hottest rivalries in NFL history?
Never liked Jeffy "The Garden Hose" Chadiha. Im surpised he even ackowledged Dallas as he is is a shamless Eagles homer.
Prof, I think his intent wasnt tradional Divison Rivaries as much as a "Who's the Top Dog" type things like we have with NE/Indy. In that repect I am actually surprised to see one divisonal rivalry as two teams from the same division are hardy ever both "Top Dogs"
well if that's what he is going for "the flavor rivalry of an era" then he should have named the article so, and there are some fierce rivalries from the pre superbowl era that would stomp on the Giants/Niners rivalry, which in itself was ok for a few years, but give me a break.

Well it is Garden Hose we are talking about here. He is in the Prisco/Judge/Banks/Dr Z/Mejia/Notorious SAS class of sports journalism. I hate him more than anyone other Stephan A$$ Smith (Thats what the "A" stands for)because he is is shameless Eagles homer, and bashes Dallas every chance he gets. But so does Smith.
Ive only really seen two of these types of rivalries. 1 was Dallas/SF, and the other was Indy/NE. Dallas/SF was hot for a few years, but really it was 1 teams owning the other. Dallas owned SF while Johnson as their, and once Switzer took over it was the other way around.
Indy/NE is overrtated, their havent been that many times both these teams have the unquestioned best, and really before now you knew Peyton couldnt solve the 3-4, and that NE was gonna win
exactly my point, media is so desperate for matchups and rivalries to hype, that they hop onto these hot ones, only to abandon them when they get the slightest bit cold.
So to this guy a rivalry for the annals of time would be
(insert top winning team from curent season and presumed superbowl contender #1 here) vs. (insert top winning team from curent season and presumed superbowl contender #2 here)
that is just stupid, but most of the general public eats this sh!t up, it makes me throw up

No one likes it, but it is what it is. It's always been like that and always will. Hype is what sports is about, and there will be a lot of hype no matter what time it is.
