Patriots/Jets rivalry is fairly recent. I mean they've played each other for years, but the Jets have only recently been good so it's not that hardcore of a rivalry. I'd say the most intense rivalries are in the NFC East with Dallas, Philly, the Giants, and Washington. You're taking your life into your hands if you show up at a Philly home game wearing a Giants jersey.

I was born and grew up in Pennsylvania so I know what I'm talking about. And Sir Niall, once again trying to stir the pot, sure I like the Oregon Ducks, and the Oregon State Beavers, but I'm a Florida State fan.

coach of my fave team(aside from uw)..ohio state university has a huge rivalry with university of michigan. they HATE eachother. both stadiums are filled to 100k+ each time they play eachother. anyway on to the story.

legendary ohio state coach woody hayes car broke down 2 miles from the ohio border while he was driving back. rather than call a tow truck he pushed his car 2 miles or so into ohio so the state of michigan couldn't profit from his misfortune. asked my dads friend who played tight end for osu under woody hayes and he confirmed the story.

I think rivalries are very important to sports man, whats the main NFL ones?

dallas vs wash dc is the biggest i'd say.

Used to be.....had season tickets at RFK...now those were some games....

How comes the Jets/Patriots riverly has come about so recent?

[DazedandConfusedinOR]

Primarily because the Jets have sucked for about the last 40 years. Well, that may not be entirely fair, but they have sucked recently. Fact is the teams have played 100 times and the Jets actually lead the series 50 to 49 with one tie. But the Patriots have won the Super Bowl 3 times and have been to the Super Bowl 6 times whereas the Jets were only ever in the Super Bowl once (1968) and won with Joe Namath as quarterback.

There have also been a lot of incidents between the two teams that would be too long to go into detail, but for example in 2007, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was accused of telling his staff to film the Jets' defensive signals which is a violation of the rules,

Also, the new Jets coach in 2009, Rex Ryan told reporters during an interview that he would not kiss Bill Belichick's Super Bowl rings and instructed all Jets' season ticket holders to make it miserable on Tom Brady and the Patriots.

There is a lot of trash talking in the NFL and basically teams that are in the same division engage in this type of behavior quite a bit. Sorry such a long answer but this is about as short as it could be!

[Sir Niall of Essex-sire]

No worries,

I bet the matches have some atomsphere?

[DazedandConfusedinOR]

I don't think it's quite the same as say a European football match, but I wouldn't recommend going to a Jets' home game wearing a Patriots' jersey unless you were with a group of people. Or, if you did go alone, I would recommend keeping quiet. Part of the problem is all the pregame tailgating which can usually involve a copious amount of alcohol. Bad mix, alcohol and machismo.

I think the same can be said of football trouble man.

I think banters a good thing, as long as it stays as banter though man.

The queen well my love for her is non existent, never been to Buckingham palace, never watch the queens speech, and had a party when her mom died. She means nothing, just a drain on our pockets.

I never thought i'd see the day, they used to cut peoples head off for such language.

To be fair I'm pretty sure I read that the revenue that the Royal family bring into the country is more than what they cost us, I dont have a problem with them myself.

Can't say as I'd miss them if they weren't there though. While watching the winter olymipics I was thinking why does the UK sing about the king/queen instead of the country, surely 'Land of hope and glory' would make for a better national anthem. I think royalty is an outdated gimmick the rich folk use on the poor, a bit like religion.
