How do you figure? Seattle and SF have been good teams simultaneously for a total of ONE SEASON. They are a rival by default because they're in our division, but we literally have almost no history with them. One season of fighting over the division does not make them a real rival. We fought with Dallas and GB over SUPER BOWLS, not just a division. Those are true rivalries. People are trying way too hard to make Seattle something that it simply is not. They're just another team in the division. This is a media-driven (and forced) rivalry. I still don't give a rat's ass about Seattle.

The raiders are rivals by proximity. They play what they claim to be "football" right in our backyard and we have to deal with their ridiculous fans daily. I know a total of 1 Seattle fan in real life.

And LOL @ "maybe throw the Saints in there as well." Why? Because of one good playoff game? Come on.

Much as I loath them, if you don't include the Giants it's like, meh.

Absolutely. The Giants have prevented the Niners from going to a Super Bowl twice. Only one other team has done that more - the Cowboys have done it four times. And, with both Giants losses, the Niners basically gave them the game at the end. And then there are the NY Giants fans - simply horrible. I actually think Cowboys fans have more class.

Sounds like Matt Flynn is close to losing the Raiders QB job to Terrelle Pryor http://cbsprt.co/14sm1uQ

The #Raiders are releasing WR Josh Cribbs, source says. Have to wonder if he ever got fully healthy.

Forgot about GB. Man, wish Steve Young was a better QB come playoff time.
