Re-kindling NFC East Rivalries
Since the season is over, I have been thinking about how our rilvaries aren't what they used to be. I remember the games against Philly, NY, St Louis and Dallas (sucks) and how much the PLAYERS got into it. With free agency, these rilvaries just don't have the same umph. I remember Joe Theismann just stirring the proverbial pot during Dallas week and he absolutely HATED THEM. I was at the game in '83 when there was a fight in the end zone because the Skins were spanking them, scored again and were about to launch the "fun bunch" high five and the little dallas puss balls got all butt hurt and tried to break it up. (which they failed to do by the way). Or in the '82 championship at RFK when the O line was laughing at the Dallas D line knowing they couldn't stop Riggins or Washington. There was real hatred against the rivals. I would love to see a current player stir the pot like Theismann or Riggins did. This team needs personality. Remember when Joey T scored a TD and spiked the ball in the cowpukes db's face and a fight broke out in the endzone? GREAT stuff. I miss that kind of passion.
Just a rambling thought...
