It’s no secret that the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles have a sordid history with a lot of back and forth. The Eagles currently lead the series by two games, but that hasn’t stopped the Giants from showing their disdain.
Earlier this week, Giants safety Julian Love made some, let’s call them less-than-flattering remarks about Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni. A couple of Eagles players have since chimed in.
On Thursday, Giants cornerback Adoree’ Jackson was asked about Love’s comments on Good Morning Football.
.@Giants CB Adoree Jackson on @gmfb @nflnetwork on teammate Julian Love's previous comment about Nick Sirianni: "We were giving him heck. You can't fault a man for his opinions. It's like USC and UCLA. It's a rivalry, they don't like us and we don't like them."

That specific rivalry was likely easy for him to relate to as a former USC Trojan. However, here on the East Coast, there are bigger rivalries to consider. Ohio State vs. Michigan. Notre Dame vs. Anyone. Florida vs. Florida State.
Still, the sentiment is the same across the board: Whichever side of the line you fall on, you despise what’s on the other side. That’s how it is with the Giants and Eagles, and given that they play each other twice a year every year, it’s not likely to change anytime soon.
After years of being somewhat dormant, it’s clear the Giants-Eagles rivalry is ready to kick back into high gear.
