You learn at a pretty young age one of the things that makes sports so great are all the different rivalry games that take place year in and year out.
It almost starts as this kind of rite of passage that every young sports enthusiast must take. In elementary school you start pulling for a particular team, normally based upon who your parents root for, and learn fairly quickly there are certain teams that under no known circumstance, are you ever to pull for. Surely you remember going to school in the shirt with your favorite team’s logo plastered all over it, joking around the with kids pulling for the other team.
Some rivalry games are more localized than others, while some are on a much larger, nationwide scale. The Georgia/Florida games falls somewhere in between.

The Cleveland Browns have basically been the punchline for any demeaning NFL joke since Bernie Kosar was their starting quarterback. If you’re not sure who Bernie Kosar is, he’s probably the guy you actually think is Vinny Testaverde.
Much to the chagrin of my father and most fans in South Florida, over the past fifteen years or so the Miami Dolphins have been giving the Browns a run for their money. The main difference being that the Dolphins seem to really be trying to win.

With a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers on October 2nd, Turner Field closed its gates on an Atlanta Braves’ season for the final time.
The Ted, as it is affectionately known, opened up with a 1-run win for Atlanta as well, coming against the Cubs in 1997. It hasn’t seen much in the way of postseason success in between, and in fact most of the teams celebrating clinching wins there have been visitors.
