The Haters
A closeup look at the NFL's top rivalries-from the players on the field to the trash-talking fans in the stands (and everywhere in between).
A serious rivalry is more than some smashmouth, hard-hitting play on the football field. It's about the experience. The feeling in the air. It's about the players' attitudes before the game even begins. It's about the fans who arrive at the crack of dawn for a 4:00 game. It's about the words exchanged on the line of scrimmage. In the parking lot. In the bathroom. It's about which team has the better freakin' sandwich option at the concession stand.
Yeah. It's that heated.
It's about fans, food, friendships and feuds. It's about football.
And these people HATE each other.
Photos will show everything surrounding the rivalries. From predawn at the stadiums to the first fans arriving. From the teams arriving, to the teams warming up. From harsh words yelled over hot stoves in the cold parking lots to arguments taken into the bathrooms (men's and women's). This essay will include the food, the fans, the stands and the fun. And don't forget the trash-talking players on and off the field, including the devastation and humiliation on the faces of the losing team's players and fans.
Rivalries will include:
Steelers-Ravens
Colts-Patriots
Packers-Bears
Raiders-Broncos
Steelers-Bengals
Vikings-Packers
Cowboys-Redskins
Steelers-Browns
Panthers-Falcons
Patriots-Dolphins
Did I mention how much these people hate each other?

Loving this. If you end up with Colts/Patriots tickets, remember your co-worker, Amberly. :)
Go Steelers - Love it!
This an awesome idea! I'd love to do this story!
how could you possibly forget eagles-cowboys? blood runs green in philly!
Not that I'm in to football, but I do think this might prove to be super funny getting at those die hard fans....
Black & Gold all day long!!!
Ok, I have to say I love this idea... and I'm not really a sports person. But I really like the stories in sports, just don't really care about the games themselves... and I'll bet that you'd get some really awesome pics!
I like your idea!
I voted for you; will you vote for me? Let's do this and see how it turns out. Let's help each other!
Good luck!
Nice idea....make sure to vote for mine if you like it too :) Good luck!

This is a great Idea! Check mine out too and if you like it...return the vote! Mine is about exposing a fatal conflict taking place in the Congo.
Good ideas like yours that are not in the Top 100 are nearly impossible to find. This is unfair as many great ideas are hidden. Those of us in the “Sub-100” should work together to promote the best projects of the Sub-100 so that they can be in the Top 100 and be seen. Please vote for best Sub-100s!
Don't hate the playa' hate the game! I'm voting for you. Feel free to return the favor and vote for my project to document political upheaval, land seizures and rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
G'day mate. I'm in Pittsburgh. Steelers!
You have my vote. I could use yours.
