This is not a rivalry.

I'd go with Red Sox and Yankees. People kill each other over this.

Right now? Tom Brady/Peyton Manning I guess.

We don't really have an epic rivalry like Magic/Bird going on right now, but I could see Chris Bosh/Dwight Howard developing into a big one if not for their lousy markets.

Chad Johnson vs DeAngelo Hall was my favorite recent rivalry, and I hope 85 goes to an AFC West team so it becomes even stronger.

But yeah, if we're counting NASCAR, Earnhardt Jr vs Gordon is the best current player vs player rivalry. If not, I really don't know.

I know OP said "today", but this one's my favorite. Lost all steam when Sapp left the NFC though.

the EPL needs something to take the place of Vieira-Keane. Essien seems like a good candidate for one side of it, just need someone from Arsenal/ManU to kick it up a notch.

Also, Ronnie-Kaká-Messi isn't really a rivalry. They pretty much only meet at international awards ceremonies.

no fag although Favre v Sapp isn't a rivarly at all...

It was back when the NFC Central division existed, but when Bucs and Packers went South and North, it kind of went away.

And Gordon/Earnhardt Jr. will NEVER be as awesome a rivalry as Gordon and Sr.

As for current player rivalries, there aren't that many that really stand out to me.

Agreed...maybe if Junior could win a race EVER

Best rivalry in NASCAR is Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Last season Jeff Gordon had his fifth championship in the bag until Jimmie pulled off a miracle and won four fucking races in a row.

The best player rivalries are in combat sports. They get to beat the crap out of each other. Of course, some of the rivalries are just for show.

But isn't Nadal more of a "I'm in your French Open (or any other clay court tournament for that matter), cock-blocking you from winning" to Federer?

how can you call it a rivalry when they drive for the same team?

Actually every time they played for there whole careers they talked alot of shit to each other. Sapp even said in interviews he was his favorite qb to sack. I think is it not known enough though to be considered a great rivalry though.

Yanks/BoSox is a shitty rivalry.

Nothing says baseball rivalry like Giants/Dodgers. Yanks/BoSox is ESPN hype faggotry. The Giants/Dodgers rivalry is much, MUCH more vicious.
