Rivalry Standings - Where Does the "Hate" Rank?

Anando : 9/22/2014 10:45 am
Yesterday's skins/eagles game got me thinking - which of the NFC east teams do I hate the most?

I'd say my rankings and reasoning are:

1) Eagles - hate the fans, their attitude, and the bevy of dirty players they've had over the years. Gives me the most pleasure when they lose

2) Cowboys - in a close 2nd place to the Eagles. Always fun beating them in Dallas and watching Jerry cry. I would rank them #1, but they've provided so much unintentional comedy over the years

3) Skins - I've been to a bunch of skins/giants games in D.C., and honestly it's changed my opinion of them a bit. Even when I wear my giants jersey, the fans have been good natured and never obnoxious/annoying both in the stands or at tailgates before.


Would be curious to see what the rankings are for the rest of BBI

1. Philly by a lot.
2. Dallas.
3. Washington.
Eagles, Cowboys, Skins.

It's shifted over my life as teams have gotten better and worse, but the current ranking has been in place for awhile. The Eagles are pretty much the worst among all sports, or for that matter, among all humanity.

feel bad for skins fans, then they make me forget that, they have been a dumpster fire for years now... even when they won in 2012, they coudln't handle RG3 right and now he probaly will never be the player he was.

its Eagles 1a, and cowboys 1b, that varies year to year
Redskins first, last and always

#1 is Eagles. No doubt.

#2 is usually Cowboys. Very similar reasoning to what you said.

#3 is usually Redskins, because Philly and Dallas are 1 and 2.

However, when the Redskins sniff some success, living in Maryland and working in DC, there are times Washington jumps up to #2. This week could be one of them.

when you have to hate them all so much, ranking is impossible.
Eagles are the team I hate most in all of pro sports.  
Don in DC : 9/22/2014 10:53 am : link
It's not even close. Next in football rivalries would be the Cowboys, then the Niners.

The Skins don't even begin to come into the conversation until after the Niners for me, because they have been so pathetic for the past 20+ years. Also, my wife is a big Skins fan, and I really don't have it in me to bring much hate to the team she loves.
it changes somewhat for me depending on the season  
G Fan : 9/22/2014 10:54 am : link
ie who is better, who is most likely to challenge us for a playoff spot, etc
but.....in general, year in and year out, it's Dallas, Wash and Philly in that order. One reason might be because I hate the owners of the first two but am pretty ambivalent about the Philly owner.

It's the skins for me. The fans always think they are winning the Super Bowl when they complete a pass. Hate them.

But it has shifted to Eagles/Cows/Skins.

Who has had the most success against the Giants in recent years? That's how I hate them.
It always goes in order of competence  
mikeinbloomfield : 9/22/2014 11:13 am : link
So, during the 90s it was the Cowboys, with Deon the Jackass being the most hated player.

These days it's:

Eagles
Cowboys
Redskins

It's unfortunate the Giants aren't really good (although I think they can be). With the owners in Dallas and Washington being all-time idiots, we'd be having a great time.
The Eagles by parsecs

BLUATHRT : 9/22/2014 11:21 am : link
It's the Eagles at 1 though, then Dallas and Washington. Jerry Jones and Romo are what bring the Cowboys close. Merrill Reese and Eagles Fans put them over the top for me.
It changes over time...  
x meadowlander : 9/22/2014 11:22 am : link
During the Parcells era, it was the Cowboys, hands-down. They filled Giants stadium with Staubach and Dorsett jerseys, bunch of fair-weather, no-nothing fans of a killer franchise that made the Giants their bitches for nearly a decade.

It was the Buddy Ryan era that changed that. It was like feeding the Eagle fanbase gunpowder. They have been arguably the most awful fanbase in professional sports ever since.

For me, the Redskins have always been the least offensive. But I don't have to live in DC, like some of you.
I lived in DC for seven years and the Skins are still way down

I just don't feel the hate for Romo. In fact, there are times I almost feel sorry for the guy. Who would want to play for Jerruh! I'd says it's Iggles, Cowboys and then Skins.

In the 70's...Cowboys. Easily.

I've spent many years seeing the Cowboys and Redskins kick the crap out of the Giants. The Eagles, not so much. Since I do not live close to NY, I don't have to put up with Eagles fans. Besides, what have the Eagles ever won?

Lilly, Meredith, Too Tall, Bullet Bob Hayes, Irvin, Deion, Aikman, Staubach, Witten, Nate Newton, Emmitt, Charlie Waters, Randy White, hate, hate, hate, hate....
I live in South Jersey, so this is easy

Eagles














Cowboys



Redskins
Cowboys are a clear #1 for me.  
Section331 : 9/22/2014 11:53 am : link
With all of their bogus fans in the NE, they are unbearable when the Cowboys have the slightest whiff of success (which, thankfully, hasn't happened in a while).

The it's Philly, followed by the Skins.
I hated the Cowboys a lot more before 2007  
Greg from LI : 9/22/2014 11:58 am : link
Now they're more an object of ridicule as far as I'm concerned. The Wade Phillips era did so much to make them a joke - I love ya, Wade!










I hate the Eagles most in our division

Dallas first for me  
nicky43 : 9/22/2014 12:38 pm : link
Because I hate all the extra media attention they ALWAYS get and how the media ALWAYS plays them up to be much better than they are.

Then Eagles, then Washington and I really don't hate the Eagles or the Redskins. I just want them to lose every game.
Cowboys are my most hated team,

Who ever  
johnelmer : 9/22/2014 1:33 pm : link
we are playing next.

Other than that, it's a tie between the Eagles and Cowboys for me. My hatred for them is bordering on unhealthy. The "Washington team" has been bad for so long that they have slipped to third (but not by much).
I think most people's opinions are going to rely  
kmed : 9/22/2014 1:34 pm : link
on who they associate with. I have a friend that's a Redskins fan and he's easily the most delusional, obnoxious and annoying kind of fan you can ever imagine. I root even harder against the Redskins because he deserves to be miserable.
it's not just your friend, believe me

They're all like that. The "Offseason Champs" meme doesn't exist for no reason.
No, I know.

I think it starts from their front office which is delusional and it trickles down to the stupid fans.

1) Philly - always been #1 for me
2) Dallas - although this is historical at this point; there's not much to hate lately
3) San Fran - I just hate them; everything about them
4) Patriots - I grew up in NH around the fan base through my formative years - my biggest thrill was beating them 2x in the Super Bowl.
5) Washington - Just because
I separate teams from fans in this matter

It's not that the Cowboys aren't as reviled as they once were in my heart - I still hate them with a passion. It's just that my loathing of the Eagles has risen so dramatically over these last ten years that Dallas now has competition.
Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins

rsjem1979 : 9/22/2014 4:41 pm : link
What a loathsome city full of degenerates. The Eagles are the team they deserve. Screw the Flyers too.

After that, it's the Redskins. You can't spend any amount of time in the DC area without absolutely despising that team and their imbecile fans.
Mine has changed over time  
steve in ky : 9/22/2014 4:57 pm : link
The George Allen led Redskins were by far my most hated of all time followed by the Cowboys and then the Eagles and it probably stayed that way until Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys which caused a flip flop between the Skins and the Cowboys with the Cowboys going years as the most hated. Then when Snyder bought the Skins it has gone back and forth between the two on any given season based on personnel, standing etc.

The Eagles quite frankly while of course hated have rarely every matter enough to generate the same amount of hate other then maybe the Dick Vermeil years, I can't remember for certain how they would have compared to the other two but I certainly despised Vermeil and his Eagles back then.

SanFranGiantsFan : 9/22/2014 6:58 pm : link
Eagles are numero uno by far. Good Lord I hate that franchise & their fans. If given the choice between the Giants never winning a Super Bowl again in my lifetime or seeing Philadelphia win one, I'd think long & hard before making a choice.

Dallas is 2.

Washington a distant 3rd.
The RG3 delusion almost gave the Skins rivalry some heat.
