Top 5 Sports Teams Philadelphia Loves To Hate

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- It's Giants week, as the G-Men come to the Linc on Sunday for a Blackout, to face the Birds in an NFC East clash. No doubt about it, Eagles-Giants is one of the best rivalries in all of football and the Giants are one of Philly's most hated teams.

But which team do we hate most?

Hard to hate any NBA teams when your team isn't competing, but how could I leave the Celtics off this list?

What a great rivalry it has been over the years. Plaxico Burress, DeSean Jackson, and Brian Westbrook breaking hearts.

 

2. Pittsburgh Penguins

Look, it's in our blood. We're born with Cowboys hate. In Philly, you are raised to hate the Cowboys. You can't explain why, it just is. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Philadelphia hates the Cowboys.
