The 5 Most Overrated Rivalries

1. Red Sox-Yankees

They play each other what?—18 times a year? Hey ESPN, stop pretending that every one of them is an event! Nobody outside of New England gives a crap.

2. Auburn-Alabama

Such intensity! Such hatred! Such rooting for one another the rest of the year for the glory of the good ol’ SEC!! Duke-UNC you guys ain’t.

3. Evert-Navratilova

Martina went oh for her fat years. Once she got in shape, MarNav laid Chrissie out like Greg Norman on Viagra.

4. Army-Navy

Admirable students at important universities, but the football game has become a big yawner. Quick—who won last year? Yeah, I don’t know either.

5. Duquesne-Fordham

The Dukes rock. Fordham is suck. ‘Nuff said.
