I think Gay (the last quote) had the most accurate quote of everyone. This rivalry means so much more to fans than players. Now maybe after the last game it means a lot more but for the majority of players, once they leave the Bengals or Steelers they couldn't care less about the game. If a fan leaves Cinci or Pitt, they still care greatly about the game. I think in most cases, the fans blow the rivalry into something much more then it is for the actual players, at least on a professional level.
