Luke Bryan -
The best under-the-radar rivalry is Dodgers-Giants. I had no idea how deep that one was until I moved to California... that one goes waaaaaaaaay back, and both sides absolutely detest each other.

It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
