McNabb a REDSKIN!

Will this trade with Philly supplant the rivalry between the 'Skins and Cowboys? For years it seemed as if the "hate" between Dallas and Washington was nonexistent. Now, there is something very personal between the Redskins and Eagles. Should provide copious amounts of drama this season and beyond.

No.

Indeed, this will certainly up the ante between the Eagles and Redskins, but let's keep it in perspective.

Really? Anyone who's not a Redskins fan knows that Eagles/Cowboys has been the best rivalry in the NFC East in recent years. If anything this trade brings Skins/Boys back to forefront as the premier rivalry in the division. Maybe.

Nah, I think this is THE new rivalry. It's not just about the media hype surrounding the trade, but the fans will be hostile as ever. This is going to be a serious grudge match.

I think this makes the Skins-Boys a renewed rivalry for sure, and also creates a new tone to the upcoming Eagles-Skins games. But there's no doubt that Eagles-Cowboys has been the premier rivalry in our division in recent years.

This definitely makes the rivalry more meaningful, and perhaps for the first time in a long time, exceeds the Dallas game. I would imagine both games will be nationally televised.
