The only team apparel that outnumbered either was UK, and the Bengals won big yesterday. Sportscasters are now referring to it as the greatest rivalry in sports. I think it's just a device that is being used to get an audience.

Aside: It took me a couple of reads to get through the shorthand. Confusing (to me) since I'm originally from Lexington (Massachusetts), and I thought the 'Reds' reference was to Red Sox, one of the only two teams in the post to that point. Then, I thought UK was the United Kingdom.
