Washington

BEST WIN: Randall comes back. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198909170was.htm

WORST LOSS: Buddy leaves town. Wild Card 1990. Ugh.

Dallas

BEST WIN: So many to choose from. Recency bias screams 44-6. The Philly Thug in me screams for the Bounty Bowl or running up the score on punk-ass Tom Landry. However, nothing made college Bryan geek out more than the Interception Return https://myspace.com/killahdice12/video/-1996-vs.-cowboys-j.-willis-to-t.-vincent-103-yd-int-/745270

WORST LOSS: Hold the damn snap comes close for me (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199709150dal.htm) but I guess it's got to be them coming into the Vet and keeping the Best Damn Defense Ever out of the playoffs in 1990. Ugh.

Giants

BEST WIN: So, so, SO many. I honestly feel like that though the Giants have all those SBs, we've gotten the better of the rivalry since Randall and Buddy ascended and certainly have more dramatic wins. Randall shrugs off Carl Banks. Clyde Simmons runs in the botched snap. Westbrook. Spoiling 14-2 in 2008. The almost hook and lateral. But, yeah, you know what it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvYFnElisL4

WORST LOSS: Giants fans, you need to help me out. I honestly don't remember much heartbreak against you guys. Our losses come when you bring your boring-ass brand of football and crush all joy and hope from the world, like you do. I remember a bunch of soul destroying 20-3 type games, but I feel like we get the better of the heart stoppers.

Philly completely dominated the first 3 quarters. Giants pulled off a huge comeback ending with a TD pass to Plaxico.

Also, 2002 last game of the regular season. Shockey won the jump ball over Dawkins to tie the game. Tiki fumbled, but Akers missed the chip shot FG. Giants ended up winning 10-7 in OT to make the playoffs and I believe cost Philly home field.

Those are the 2 last minute Giants wins that stand out.

opening day, too, and I gotta watch fucking Eli do that to us. That was TERRIBLE

career. I'm sure Doc recalls that game quite well. LOL. Jerome McDougal had 2 monumental brain farts that definitely cost us that game. He's since permanently remained in the Doc's doghouse and he still references 'McDookie' from time to time.

Wow, what a miserable game. I still think the Winston Justice Monday Night Massacre was more torturous though.

had numerous games like that. he pulled something like that in the game where Matt Bryant kicked an improbable 63 yarder to win it against the Eagles in that dismal season. He was the embodiment of a BUM. Once he did it against the Giants... that was it.

>Wow, what a miserable game. I still think the Winston Justice
>Monday Night Massacre was more torturous though.

Yes. And it was only fitting that the Giants got the same treatment, albeit years later.

that 2006 game must have been the one I thought of

also, the "7 sacks" game when BUST-ICE was a turnstile for the Giants pass rushers... yeah, fuck that game. I'm glad the Eagles at least got some modicum of REAP while Eli was still QB recently

You've got the Celtics if it's the Finals, but do Lakers fans still hate Portland and Sacramento? They always seemed like temporary rivalries that were more tied to specific players than teams.

Are the Clippers considered a rival?

Because historically, of course it's the Celtics - but also, that rivalry has gone decades with finals matchups in the 50s, 60s, 80s, 00s, and 10's...so it's hard for me to say anyone else.

San Antonio is a rival, simply because for so many years the chip seemed to go through one of these teams.

Hard for me to count Sacramento as that was honestly like a 4-5 year thing. It's so dead now, and hard to see it coming back anytime soon.

Portland, same - like you said, a temporary rivalry.


>
>Are the Clippers considered a rival?

Nah. Hard for there to be a real rivalry when both teams haven't been good at the same time. Unfortunate that the Lakers blew the 2006 lead on the Suns, cause a Lakers/Clippers playoff matchup would have been great.

Worst: Two weeks earlier, losing to the Packers on a last second FG on Christmas Eve. (But shout out to Favre breaking the TD record in the Dome or the Joe Webb playoff loss.)

I'm still undecided on how to feel for my first live Packers/Vikings game at Lambeau ending in a tie last year.

Not a lot of really significant wins or losses against the Bears. Beating them in Soldier Field AP's rookie season was cool, though. No win against the Lions post-Barry has meant anything, but losing to them in 2007 (first loss to Detroit since Spurgeon Wynn was starting) sucked, if only because it snapped a streak.

2004 loss to U(sic)GA 19-13 (Reggie Ball throws it away to avoid a sack on 4th down)

2005 loss to U(sic)GA 14-7. Calvin had 2 catches in this whole game, including our first TD. Reggie steps up again to throw an INT at 1st and 10 on the Mutt 11 inside of 2 min to play. He didnt even look in Calvin's direction.

2006 loss to U(sic)GA 15-12 Stafford gives me a glimpse of something i would shockingly come to love with a last minute TD drive against our top 10 defense.

2009 loss to U(sic)GA 30-24. Still in the NC picture at the time, we were 10-1 coming in. Demaryious Thomas flat *dropped* a 11 yd out on 4th and ten with a minute to play. Giving up 335 rush yards didnt help either.

2010 loss to U(sic)GA 42-34. We missed the tying XP with less than 5 min to play. We let UGA score after that to get the ball back and drove into Mutt territory before throwing a pick. I didnt see that tho, i left the stadium after our missed onside kick following the XP debacle.

I was at 8 of these games (3-5) and those last 6 give you an idea of where my head is at for the next 12 days.

And then everyone shook Lemieux's fuckin hand

Next year, galvanized by disappointment, the Wings get the violent stuff ouf of the way in a regular season matchup in March. Darren McCarty rained blows down upon Lemieux's face and Mike Vernon lets Patrice Wahh taste the knuckles on his blocker hand.

The modern Red Wings were born that night, and 2 months later the Red Wings took the Western Conference championship with a 4-2 series win over the Avs. After a subsequent embarassingly easy sweep of the Flyers, the Wings put 42 years of ghosts to rest.

Best win: February 9, 2005. Perhaps the most highly anticipated match between the teams I can remember. Won at the last second. I was court side. I wept that night. (Runner up is obviously the Austin Rivers Shot.)

Worst loss: probably JJ and Shelden's Senior Night. Heartbreak.

I'm sure there are some games with bigger ramifications for the postseason or whatever, but the rivalry is all about personalities. I may not remember beating them for the ACC title, but I remember beating Felton and May before they won the title. And I remember feeling terrible for JJ and Shelden.

the 2 I care about the most:

Vs. The Bulls

Best W: the playoff sweep (and bonus McNabb-inspired sideline dancing)

Worst L: The Shot. Instantly turned me anti-Cheese Eyes, and pro-everyone playing his team (esp. the Knicks) going forward

I expect this list to be updated as the rivalry is reignited.

all my favorite Cavs/Bulls moments were in the Cheese Eyes era, though. Like the time Danny Ferry's punk ass got in a fight with Cheese Eyes and later Stacey King's BS caused a bench-clearing scuffle (I clearly remember King's "Fuck You" being mouthed to the dude approaching him on camera) in the 1992 ECF.

Vs. The Heat (2010-)

Best W: The only one they ever took since 2010. Epic 4th Quarter CHOKE and Finals Preview. Baron Davis and 'em basically won the game down 2 possessions within the time that it took me to drive 1.5 miles from the gym back to home.

Worst L: The "Return" game ranks, but I'm thinking it was the one where Tristan was Vucevic-ing them for 3 quarters, and threatened to end the regular season streak, but ended up a choke in the end.

I know we're still considered the babies of the AL East, even though we've shown some fire the past few years. So it's a little bit of a stretch to claim the Red Sox & Yankees as our biggest rivals. Still, those are the cats we have to get past in order to be taken seriously.

Best moment is a toss-up. Game 7 of the 2008 ALCS. Matt Garza started but David Price came in to close. We were lucky enough to get tickets and the Trop was on fire. I know our attendance is garbage but our viewership has been top 5. The people in this area love the Rays. And when we recorded the last out, the place exploded. Probably the biggest sports moment I've ever attended.

The other one would be that incredible Game 162 back in 2011 against the Yankees to knock Boston out of the playoffs. One of the best comebacks I've ever seen on one of the best sports nights ever.

As for our biggest L...you could say the first 10 years of their existence. I was only here for part of it but that shit was miserable.

With the tigers being terrible i glommed on to the Rays' run, and it was fun as hell

With spring training and stone crabs in PC i felt justified as long as i participated in those lol

Cowboys:

Best - 2007 divisional round playoff win in Dallas. Brandon Jacobs scoring a TD and then throwing the ball into the playclock had me so hype. One of my favorite moments. I strongly believed in the upcoming Super Bowl win after that game.

Worst - 1993, last game of the regular season. Dallas dominated the first half but the Giants came back strong. Ended up a 16-13 loss in OT. The game Emmitt separated his shoulder and came back in and killed us. Dallas was the better team, but I wanted that one so bad. Simms/LT's last season.

Eagles:

Best - 2002 regular season finale. Shockey beating that cheapshotting, late hit spear into the helmet dickhead spastic Dawkins for the jump ball in the end zone and then talking shit to him on the ground was fantastic.

Worst - I HATED how they had our number in the 89-90 years because the Giants were better and I loved those games so much. But the Desean Jackson punt return disaster was so ridiculous that it tops the list.

Redskins:

Best - I can't fully appreciate/remember the 1986 NFC Championship game beatdown, so I'll go with the 1997 regular season finale. The Giants wrapped up an unexpected NFC East title at home, and Rodney Hampton came in and ran well and scored a TD, after missing the entire season to injury.

Worst - Nothing stands out. We've usually gotten the best of them when it's mattered for the Giants.

Apparently the small town of around 16,000 (the biggest of all the local towns, so 'big' the neighboring towns come into Ada to cruise their strip) has an intense rivalry with almost all of the nearby towns, a lot of it based in HS football.

On one occasion a nearby town came in a caravan of 30 heads to Ada in retaliation for a beatdown earlier, and in response Ada rounded up their home town mob to meet them in the street, the word spreading like wildfire. Ada had more people, being that they were in their town, but the number of people from the opposing town had more actual fighters.

As the stand off built up in the street, it became clear most of the people from Ada were really just there to watch shit pop off. So Jeremy Shockey sets it off and runs into the visiting mob and begins to fight the entire mob by himself for a good 15 seconds. Just throwing dudes around. Beating the pulp out of them before the rest of Ada comes to his aid.

All that to say the Giants sure could use a guy like Shockey right now.

Oddly enough, for most of my life the Packers and Bears have never been very good at the same time. And even the Bears last NFCCG which was close, the Packers were a significantly better team and by halftime Cutler was hurt and Caleb Hanie was playing. Nothing dramatic one way or the other about that L.

Last years loss on the last game of the year was between two teams who weren't going anywhere in the 'offs, so definitely a dramatic last second loss but both teams were hovering at .500

Odd, because it's historically the league's greatest rivalry and the all-time win-loss record is close, but the matchups have usually lacked real drama.

Pats: Ty Law's 3 INT game vs Peyton. Worst? I'm gonna go with 4th and 2. (The giants aren't rivals, so fuck off).

Barca: La manita. Worst loss? I'd say just a couple weeks ago. that sucked, but probably just because it's so fresh.

Hoyas: because i was there: the drubbing of Cuse to end their regular season BE. The obvious correct answer is the Manley Fieldhouse closing game. L? BE tourney semifinal game later that month..

Celtics: Game 4 comeback in 2008. Kobe's 6-24 game 7 with Perkins out in the finals.

Sox: OBVIOUSLY the David Roberts steal game. Although I kinda enjoyed the shameless drubbing later that series, the steal is more amazing. losses? who the fuck cares. the david roberts steal happened.

Im not upset that youre in the ACC, altho adding another cupcake football team to the Atlantic division doesnt help anyone but FSU and Clemson. We are one of 5 ACC schools that prioritize football over basketball (Clemson, FSU, VT, Miami, us), so rivalries that i care about are VT, Clemson, UGA, ND, Auburn.

Basketball needed our new playmates, so here you are, and im glad for it. But you dont have any rivals yet.

It's FSU, then a big gap, then Clemson......then everyone else to varying degrees. Cuse was over .500 in the league in year one last year. Everyone under the sun seemed to get injured this year on offense. We're on our 4th string QB at this point.

And even if they were a "cupcake", their division has the 3 best teams in the league right now. That's why you got teams like Duke winning the other division.

* I realize what GT did to them last year, but that was mostly about an insanely bad defensive gameplan and running into a buzzsaw against a unique style of play than anything else.

Because i see a clear 1 and 2. Louisville has 2 losses to teams we beat by a combined 47 points and got the welcome mat rolled out for them with a schedule that avoided Duke, VT, UNC, and us. Clemson...well that already happened.

I also see an ACC championship game between 2 of the 3 most frequent participants and its wide open. VT was down this year, but its still FSU/Clemson and GT/VT. Those 4 teams have 16 of the 20 ACCCG berths since the game started, and i dont see that ratio going down any time soon.

Props to GT on a good year, but they were losing 5-7 games every year for the previous 5 years.

If GT can maintain what they have done this year on a fairly consistent basis, and Miami and VT can come back then the balance between divisions could be good. But right now, it doesn't appear well balanced.

>Props to GT on a good year, but they were losing 5-7 games
>every year for the previous 5 years.

In 2008 we won 9 games, in 2009 we won 11, and in 2010 Josh Nesbitt got injured and we lost 4 games after that. So yeah '11-'13 was disappointing, especially given that we were 7-2 leading VT in the second half in 2011. But since Paul Johnson has been at Tech, there was 1 injury ruined season (2010), an OK year with a bowl loss (2011), and 2 bad years (2012, 2013). But even in one of those bad years, we won the division and took FSU to the wire in the ACCCG.

>If GT can maintain what they have done this year on a fairly
>consistent basis, and Miami and VT can come back then the

>doesn't appear well balanced.

FSU is the only reason it seems unbalanced. UL didnt look better than Duke at any point this year, and no one but FSU has looked better than us. There is also more parity in the Coastal. All 7 Coastal teams are better than Wake, Syracuse, and NC St. BC avoids this because they managed to squeak out a 2 point win against the last place team in the Coastal (VT).

I dont think there are too many ACC fans that would rathe see their team play a Coastal schedule than an Atlantic schedule. The Atlantic comes with 3 free wins, but the last place team in the Coastal beat Ohio State in the Shoe.

They sucked this year but won 3 bowls in the previous 4 years, beat up on WVU 3 times in a row in that span, beat LVille when they were good, won at Missouri, were over .500 in the league last year. Certainly been on par with or a little better than teams like UNC, Virginia,and Pitt. Everything went wrong this year, but it's one season.

You say last 5 seasons, when GT should really be judged over PJ's whole tenure (2008 - )

And this may just be a rough year for Syracuse, but be that as it may, the balance was not shifted toward the Atlantic this year, and it rarely is. Dont get me wrong, Louisville will help, but FSU had a 7 year gap between ACC chips while the Coastal won 4 straight and Clemson snuck in there and won 1 (didnt beat us tho, they cant win in ATL). FSU's last 3 years + Clemson 2011 may make it look like the divisions arent balanced but they are. Each division has had the higher ranked team 5 times in the 10 year history of the ACCCG.

Washington:

Best W: Season finale. Eagles won on a Roger Ruzek field goal. Honestly, the game was probably inconsequential for both teams. The Eagles finished with a 10-6 record and perhaps one of the best all-round defensive units ever. Washington was just a machine that year. IMO they're still one of the top 3 most dominating teams I've witnessed in the past 20-25 years. We were just 1 of 2 teams to beat them all year. And we beat them with Jeff Kemp as our starting QB. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I still vividly remember watching this with my PopPop in suburban Philly - he was a die hard Eagles fan who inspired me to play football.

Worst L: Honestly, I really can't think of one that really stands out. I guess I'll say McNabb's return to the Linc. I felt horrible for my wife who spent way, way too much $ on those tickets to see such a shitty on-field product. Vick got banged up early and was ineffective all game. Kolb was just atrocious in relief.

Dallas:

Best W: 44-6. 'Nuff said. I will say though that the 20-17 goal line stand W in '95 was very, very memorable. Up to that point Dallas just owned us. We managed to score 17 unanswered points and put ourselves in position to make the playoffs. At that point, I was convinced Ray Rhodes and crew might win us as SB.

Worst L: The 30-13 ass whooping in the '96 playoff (95 season) was pretty dreadful and brings up a lot of painful memories. The other painful loss was the 2009 (2010) playoff loss to the Cowboys. Even though that was the most hollow 11-5 team ever, it still burned to see the Cowboys sweep us - including 2 humiliating beat downs in a row. McNabb's corny air guitar routine only made it that much unbearable.

NYG:

Best W: Either Westbrook's or D.Jax's miracle punt returns to win the game. Neither game we had any business winning which made the wins so much sweeter.

Worst L: Probably the Monday Night Massacre where Winston Justice single-handedly earned Osi a pro-bowl spot.

Arizona/Phoenix:

Best: The infamous 7 play goal line stand at the 1 yard line in '92. Cot damn was our defense amazing. Cardinals got the benefit of the refs with 3 extra plays from the 1 yard line but still couldn't punch it in for the win. Eagles win 7-3.

Worst: 2008 (2009 Playoffs) loss in the NFC Championship game. We destroyed that team just about less than 2 months earlier and *should* have won that game. But in the end McNabb took too long to get it going and the secondary couldn't get a stop when it mattered in the 4th quarter. Not that we really deserved to be a SB team, but the Cards damn sure didn't either and we have a very legit chance of winning it all.

yeah, I'm thinking that one was the worst, either that or the playoff-lockout L in the '91 season. I think that 1991 season L pissed me off more. It ignited my Cowboy hate (and watching the Buttskins go on to win a Superbowl... at the time I lived DEEP in old Buttskins territory), and it sucked doubly so considering what happened the next season. I hated the '95 loss for the same reasons.

The one thing that made up for that '09 season loss was watching Brett Favre (of all people) ETHER the Cowboys in their lone playoff appearance since the '90s.

That one play when they were up 27-3 deep in the 4th when Favre was like "FUCK YOU" and threw on 4th down to Shiancoe to run up the score. I was LMAO.


>Worst L: Probably the Monday Night Massacre where Winston
>Justice single-handedly earned Osi a pro-bowl spot.

and I think that winning either one of those Giants games would have kept them out of the playoffs and thus erasing the horror of a Eli Manning Super Bowl. Winning the Pats game would have erased me caring about them winning a 4th ring (Feely and his damn funballs). I hate that season.

That one really sucked. Because it was a classic "play the same team twice, different result" game. it reminded me of '02. So much bad came out of that game. I believe it was Jim Johnson's last game with the Eagles. Perhaps the last chance to do right by Dawkins. And that stupid collapsing big play. I had a bad feeling about that game before it begun. I also hate that they no-called the clear interference on Kevin Curtis (remember him?) at the end of the game.

So I rooted HARD for the Steelers to get that one.

Even now, the Cards ALWAYS seem to get one big play behind the secondary, late in the game. I hate playing that team, as if they were still in the NFC East, sometimes. It took some real BS for the Eagles to sneak a win from them recently.

that game was his career in a nutshell. so close, but just not quite *that* good. props to including arizona, that 7-3 game was amazing. we were also the victims of a few ridiculous jake the snake comebacks.

could have been caught and would have extended the drive. That AZ defense was wack and the Eagles offense was finally starting to wear them down. But unfortunately it came to a sudden halt.

Honestly I don't remember it being that bad of a missed call. Sure the ball wasn't directly at Curtis, but it was placed good enough and should have been caught.

Like you said, McNabb's career in a nutshell. Some truly incredible moments of brilliance mixed with head-scratching plays and ultimately unable to seal the deal.

Should have known better based on the poster tho lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

a post where a bunch of posters embellishing stories about the time they scored 4 TD's against Polk High.

L: Fisher 0.4 prayer (I'm not going to acknowledge 2001/2002 post-seasons since Timmay was essentially playing 1 on 5 against prime Shaq/Bean plus the role players on the 2008 Spurs were on a steep decline & Manu was starting to breakdown)

Mavs

L: Losing the 2012 WCF after being up 2-0

Bonus:

I'm not going to acknowledge the Suns & the Grizz b/c they never won a chip nor did they ever beat the Spurs when Timmay was in his prime. But even then there was bad blood between those teams.

2008 Spurs wouldn't have beaten the Celtics so it's a lost cause. The supporting cast (Bowen, Barry, Finley & Horry) were on their last legs plus Manu was playing w/ an injured shooting hand. That team was down 2-0 to the Hornets before Manu/Tony/Tim carried the team to victory in the 4th quarter of Gm 3.

Shaq waited to get toe surgery until August which meant he came into the season completely over-weight and stayed there, and the starting lineup included Fish and Horry which wore the shit out of the latter, as evidenced by Horry going 0-21 from 3 in that series. Even with all that, the series still came down to Horry's 3 rimming out in game 5. Not to mention this was the team coming off 3 consecutive finals runs.

Always hilarious how one-sided your idea of "context" is.

L D E A

There was nothing wrong w/ Shaq in the post-seasons besides him looking hefty so that's a plea cop & fatigue is also part of the game so that's a plea cop. If you want to complain about Fox missing the series then go ahead but the Spurs were missing a starter (Steve Smith) that Stephen Jackson came out of nowhere to replace...blame Devan George for not doing his job. If anything, Bowen/Stephen Jackson/Manu took turns wearing out Bean. Plus, the only thing wrong w/ Fish was that he had to guard Tony/Claxton as opposed to old ass Avery/Porter. Tim made the Lakers tap out in the 2nd half of the closeout game & Bean was no where to be found.

FYI: Shaq didn't dominate the Spurs to the same extent he dominated the rest of the league in the Tim Duncan era....Bean (along w/ Fisher) was always their kryptonite before Bruce Bowen arrived in 2002 (Mario Elie was checking him in 99). Bean got whatever he wanted against Antonio Daniels in 2001 which was when Pop decided to sign Bowen. The Spurs could have beaten the Lakers in 2002 if Tim had any help on the offensive end of the floor b/c they were making Shaq/Kobe work for everything. In 2008 Bowen was past his prime which was when Bean ate his lunch. I don't see where I'm lacking objectivity in this case: Shaq was in his prime, Bean was in his prime, Tim was in his prime & Tim came out on top while not having anyone worthy of being a sidekick on his squad. Outside of Fox, Shaq/Kobe had the same exact supporting cast that they had when they beat the Spurs in previous year. Tim got a decent supporting cast & all of a sudden the Lakers dynasty is in shambles. Basically, Tim w/ a decent supporting cast could have ended the Lakers run at a 2-peat in 2002 & the excuse would have been......oh, but they were tired & Shaq was out-of-shape. Sound like an plea cop Bron would use & not something MJ or Magic or Bird or Kareem would ever use. All you have to do is compare the Spurs 2001 squad that go pulverized by the Lakers in record fashion to the 2003 squad & the only difference is that Tim wasn't playing w/ a bunch of AARP members. That was basically the MAIN difference; Kobe only got better while Shaq was playing as he usually does against the Spurs. Pop decided to let Tony run the show in 2004 & it all came crashing down when the going got tough b/c Tony wasn't ready to be a wing-man (no Speedy Claxton to bail him out & Hedo couldn't replace Stephen Jackson). Manu was anointed as the wingman in 2005 & it paid off.

-Shaq was fat in 2002 & he still won Finals MVP. He was actually well rested for the post-season run in 2003 & was as dominant as he was in the previous year except he run into Balt Salts Tim.

-There was absolutely nothing wrong w/ Fish except he had to ACTUALLY play defense.

-Horry was tired! LOL, is that supposed to be a legit excuse? In that case then David Robinson had herniated disc thus he was on minutes restriction (He was putting up the same numbers as Horry). The real problem Horry had was checking Tim in the post.

-Horry missing a last second shot was what decided the series! Bruh, the Lakers were getting fairly outplayed until they made a furious 4th quarter comeback. In Gm 6 Tim said enough is enough & slammed the door shut in the 2nd half & there was nothing either Shaq or Kobe could do about it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR6AgYWdoBQ

I'll go ahead create a narrative for Heat fans:

-Bron was tired in 2013 but somehow magically got energized after Ray bailed him out. It wasn't the Spurs strategy to lay off him that caused him to settle for jumpers for a good part of the series. Bosh also had zero points in Gm 6 b/c he was just tired from appearing in 3 straight Finals & not b/c Tim was wearing him out in the paint.

-Bron was tired in 2014 thus couldn't check Kawhi; it wasn't the Spurs's ball movement that killed them. Wade knees also started bothering him when Danny Green was locking him up although he was abusing Lance in the ECF.

vs. Patriots:
Best Win: Sanchez knocking Brady out of the playoffs in 2011
Worst Loss: Buttfumble

vs. Dolphins:
Best Win: Jumbo Elliott with the catch to force OT after a huge comeback
Worst Loss: Fake spike by Marino

vs. Bills
Best Win: can't remember
Worst Loss: could possibly be the game this year where we coughed it up 6 times

I'll attempt to do the Knicks later

Sox (so obvious I barely have to post it)

Best W: 2004 ALCS Game 4.
Worst L: 2003 ALCS Game 7. And even with the following year and all the success since, it still stings a little bit. Seeing the Boone homer doesn't make me say "I'm so thankful everything else worked out" it transports me back to that night and the previous day. Completely shell shocked. Only loss where I woke up the next day thinking "that was a nightmare, right?"

Pats:

Best W: 2003-2004 AFC Championship game. Snow. Ty Law. Peyton face.
Worst L: 2006-2007 AFC Championship game. Oof, I was real cocky when we were up.

Celts:

See LA2Philly's post and reverse it.

Bruins:

I don't follow them that closely, but I always get wrapped up in a Montreal series, and there have been quite a few of them recently.

Best W: 2011 first round.
Worst L: A strong argument could be made for last year, but 2004 hit me harder.

eli and the giants can get all the rings he wants against teams that aren't the pats and i don't really care*. peyton winning anything hurts my soul a little bit.

*actually, i often laugh at the fact that eli will always have a leg up on peyton in the rings category. he is not anywhere near the same class of QBs, but he can always bring that up at thanksgiving and peyton really can't say shit. even if peyton wins one more he's just equaling eli. hilarious.

that's a classic "welp, game's over" game that you turn off before the half, and then you turn it on later and are like "WTF HAPPENED"

>"welp, game's over"

people yelled at me for it, but luckily they didn't remember it afterwards so i didn't get called out for jinxing.

Win = LJ's 4 point play. This led to the Knicks being the first and only 8th seed team to go off onto the NBA Finals.

Loss = Don't wanna talk about it.

Note: I'm leaving Seahawks off of this, since the sample size is still too small. In my lifetime, we've only been in the same division since 2002. That first year, the last of the Garcia/Owens years, I hated the Packers/Giants/Cowboys much more than anyone in the division. And from like 2003 until, like 2010, we sucked to bad to have anyone as rivals. This is only the third season both teams were good enough to be a legit rivalry.

With that said -

Cowboys
L: 1993 NFC championship game. That really sucked. Especially sitting in the common TV room for my freshmen dorm in Philly, listening to Cowboys fans crow about how great they were and how Rice was overrated. Welp, at least history proved them wrong.

W: 1994 NFC Championship. Going up a quick 21-0 in the first quarter and then coasting the rest of the way sure was sweet.

Giants:
L: The 49-3 loss in the division game in 1987. As an 11-year old that was just depressing as all hell. The NFC loss during the 2011-12 season sucked too, but not as bad as that.
W: Well, there's been a lot. Smashing them 44-3 in the conference game, with Ricky Waters hitting them for 4 TDs, in the '93 play-offs was awesome. And there's the 2002 Wild Card game, where Jeff Garcia have the game of his career and take a big watery shit all over them for the comeback. Probably as close to Joe as Jeff ever got in his life.

Green Bay:
W: The 1998 divisional game with the last second Owens TD. Kaep making his grand entrance to world stage in the 2012/13 divisional game comes second.

L: Probably the NFC championship during 1997 season. It's when I first REALLY started hating Favre.

the 49ers/Packers rivalry was must see TV for me

The T.O. catch was one of the best moments in televised NFL IMO. there's nothing like overcoming the team that always kicks your ass

the deck was stacked against us in the one. dallas defense was too strong. jimmy johnson knew it.

1992 was more detrimental IMO. 4 turnovers. aikman slant to harper to seal the game.

cowboy dynasty begins.

the 1995 regular season game in texas stadium is 1A for me.

was living in socal at the time (cowboy country - see: cal lutheran univ). i can't even begin to tell you how many cowboy fans were smugly predicting a complete annihilation.

and why wouldn't they? no watters, no deion, young and several other starters out, had just lost two straight and dropped to 5-4.

BUT... marc trestman had added a little wrinkle in the offense and lined up rice inside in the slot.

second play of the game... elvis fucking grbac hits jerry on a quick slant and he take it 80 yards to the house.

crowd stunned.

cowboys first series on offense... irvin fumbles... merton hanks picks up and runs in for the score.

crowd more stunned.

38-20 final.

yep. was there for '98 wild card against GB. got the sporting green front page and game ticket framed.

i still haven't gotten over garrison hearst breaking his ankle the first play of the game @ atlanta the next week.

>L: Probably the NFC championship during 1997 season. It's when
>I first REALLY started hating Favre.

the 1995 divisional felt worse. everyone had been looking forward to dallas vs. SF for a fourth year in a row. GB jumps out to a 21-0 lead, thanks in part to wack ass adam walker and his clubbed-cast hand fumbling.

favre and robert brooks cut us up that day.

2005 playoffs when Carson's knee got Kimo'd.

Best win over a rival is a little tougher. Bengals-Oilers used to be a big rivalry, so maybe when the Bengals beat Houston in the 1988 divisional round of the playoffs .

Other teams I root for:

Reds - I'll just go during my lifetime, so I cant speak to the Big Red Machine days. Worst Loss - there was a game in 2005 where the Reds had a 9 - 3 lead vs. St Louis in the 9th inning then gave up 7 runs in the 9th to lose and the team got booed off the field. (could also go with the 2013 wild card game at Pittsburgh where Cueto fell apart). Best win - probably beating Pittsburgh game 6 of the 1990 NLCS.

Xavier basketball - technically not really a rival since they never play, but the 2007 ncaa tournament loss to Ohio State was the worst, especially since it was to former X coach Matta. Best win(s) would be when X knocked off #1 Cincinnati in 1996 and 1999.

best may not be historically best, but it's my favorite. we beat them at the farm as harbaugh, luck & co. were ascending and we were descending. tiger woods spoke at halftime. (several days later, his life would fall the f*** apart. i'm actually a big tiger fan, so i was unhappy to see that happen. i only mention it because it became so noteworthy to me after the fact.) we went back and forth with the lead. shane vereen, starting in place of a recovering jahvid best, beasted and carried the offense. the d did just enough. mike mohamed intercepted andrew luck on their final drive to seal the win.

worst may not be historically worst, though last year's big game was probably rock bottom since the 2001 season. we lost by 50 f***ing points. even taking that into account, i took last saturday's loss harder. i had expectations of legitimately competing that, in retrospect, had no basis in reality. s*** is fresh in my mind, so it feels like the worst right now.
