The problem is the steelers have a ton of rivals, cowboys, raiders, browns, patriots and now the darn ravens.

You can tell your friend I said he's dead wrong. The Steelers/Ravens has the potential for a great rivalry........but there are WAY TOO Many rivalries out there that have been built through generations of hatred. I don't care how much the two teams hate each other right now........Cowboys and Redskins have despised each other for decades. There's no way any Steeler fan over 10 years old could have grown up being taught to hate the Ravens like many of us were raised to hate the Cowboys. I mean I've hated the Cowboys for over twice as many years as the Ravens have even been in existence (and I'm not even 30 yet). Ask your friend who he grew up hating..........because the answer couldn't be the Ravens.
Personally I'd put every combination of the NFC east ahead of steelers/ravens as well as chiefs/raiders....... broncos/raiders....... broncos/chiefs....... jets/dolphins........ and maybe even cleveland/cincinnati (the browns may have been gone for a few years....but those cities truly hate each other).
