41 year old Niners fan here: I am loathe of Pretty Boy Carroll and the Seahawks, but I am rooting for them whenever they play the Cowboys. There will never be a sports hate as pure and distilled as we have toward Big D. Hell, as a Syracuse alum I'd sooner root for Georgetown.

I dunno. Rivalries are kinda dead between players. Social media, mega sports agencies, and the fact they've almost all played on teams or offseason workouts together has killed it. Some players have specific beef but it's not usually because of the color of their jerseys.

She'd do pretty well to get anywhere near Roddick's career. Roddick only won 1 major but he made other deep runs in majors and has won many other smaller events. That US Open win was Raducanu's only career title of any kind iirc and she has not really replicated that kind of form since.

Yeah, the Steve Young versus Troy Aikman duels were amazing.

Yep. I’m old enough to still be bitter over the 1972 NFC championship game. If Preston Riley had just held onto that ball we would’ve had our first Super Bowl….argh

Seems like a female Andy Roddick?

its one of those fan rivalries that no one on the teams currently really cares about, they might be aware of the history but without playing them all that often its hard to have a rivalry

America's team? What bull!

Before last year, the last time they played, was in 94', this isn't a rivalry 🤣

hah all good, brother!

Those were your regular season rivals. In the past during the playoffs it was always red/gold vs blue/white. Lot of back and forth back in the days of young and aikman

Their parents do.

Cowboys fan here, I guess we can’t have playdates no more.

Here I was busy hating the eagles, giants and whatever team Brady is in. Now I gotta add another team.

Cowboys make more sense than the Raiders since they are in the same conference. Raiders and 49ers have never really played any meaningful games.

Yep, sorry not only did the math wrong on the months, but also read the years wrong!

I agree. I think people saying this game will ignite the rivalry for the younger generation are wrong. Currently 28 and I had no idea this was a rivalry. It’s been too long. The younger NFL fans won’t have any idea that this is a rivalry unless it happens again and again like it did back in the day

I believe VY is a year younger than Ben

Depends how old you are. The over 35 crowd, yes. The under 35 crowd, probably not

Those 90 playoff games were amazing. Jon Madden and Pat Summerall announcing the games. Good times.

Yeah 3 decades ago lmao....the fact they emphasized the number of faceoffs between these two when the cowshits only went to the playoffs like 3 times in 27 years....😂🤦🏽

That would make sense. I didn't really start following football until 2005-2010ish.

And as an Eagles fan, I understand your pain. Cheering for the Commanders over the Cowboys in the last week of regular season was bittersweet.
