Ok, so this is the Valentines issue right? Love this and love that right? Well, when it comes to sports, there isn't much love to be spread around. Here's a list of teams, or people in general, from different leagues who without a doubt do NOT love each other.

1) The Washington Redskins and The Dallas Cowboys: Nuff said here. The Skins like the Cowboys like John Ashcroft likes Puff Daddy. And vice versa for the Boys. This is one of the most classic rivalries in all of sports. The Cowboys have owned this series over the past few years, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been heated. LaVar Arrington, the Skins menacing linebacker from Penn State, showed his love for the Boys, buy nicely knocking Troy Aikman into 2004 with a hit so hard Aikman's future kids felt it. Troy had a concussion for the zillionth time, but the Cowboys had the last laugh, as Emmitt Smith would proceed to run all over the Skins as if he were 22 all over again and the Cowboys would prevail. Later it was discovered that the Cowboys had an unfair advantage due to crack. Ok, that's not true, but it's funny.

2) Shaq and Kobe: What?!! How the hell is this a rivalry when they play on the same team you ask? Simple. Have you seen the Lakers play this year? Shaq is always complaining that Kobe doesn't get him the ball enough, and Kobe is always saying that his game is evolving and he should be able to shot as much as he wants to at all times. He also says Shaq's free throw shooting percentage, which could well be in the negatives by now, is another reason why he's sometime reluctant to give the big fellah the ball. Suuuuuuure Kobe. Suuuuuure.

3) Allen Iverson vs. The Media: He's got tattoos, jewelry, and cornrows. Cornrows?!! Or dear lord, not cornrows!!! Quick, hide the kids!!! He's got cornrows!!! Forget that he's the best player in the league, he's got cornrows!!! Message to mainstream society: GET OVER IT!!!! !!!!!

4) Michael Jordan vs. Jerry Krause Krause was the general manager of the Bulls during the Jordan reign and still is now. He was known for underpaying Jordan and Co. for a long time and preceded to say that it was management that wins championships, not players. Jordan retired in 1999, and the Bulls have one two games since. Ok, they've one more that two, it's more like 4. And hey how about that 16 game losing streak?!!

5) Mike Piazza vs. Roger Clemens Clemens has always been known as one of the most dominating pitchers in the history of baseball. Piazza is known as one of the best hitters of the new generation of players and has always hit well against Clemens, frequently knocking out homers against the Rocket. So instead of pitching to Piazza, Clemens decides to just beam him in the head with a 90 plus mph fast ball and knock him out cold. Then during an at bat in the World Series this past October, Piazza's bat breaks while making contact with a Clemens pitch, and Clemens throws a piece of the bat at Piazza. Tempers flare. A rivalry is born.
