I just don't see it anymore. I don't see the passion, the hatred toward a teams rival with the players or the coaches. Sure, the fans hate each other, but I'm talking about the players and coaches. Back in the day, Woody Hays would run the score up on Michigan because he hated them so much. The players of Michigan upsetting Ohio State that one year, the players played their hardest because of their rivalry toward Ohio State. in the 90's, Marty Schottenheimer would make sure that everyone on his Chiefs team hated the raiders and losing to them was unacceptable. Same with the Chiefs vs Broncos back then, the monday night meltdown? They hated each other.
Do these rivalries still exist? When I watch a Packers vs Bears game, it doesn't feel like a rivalry today. Or a Chiefs vs Raiders game, or a Redskins vs Cowboys game. It seems like the passion for that is gone with the coaches and players.
