This is basically just an article about improvements being made to I-85 in Durham, North Carolina, but it was interesting to find out that the rivalry between the Atlanta Falcons and the Carolina Panthers actually has been dubbed "The I-85 Rivarlry". I'd never heard that used before, and the name apparently comes from the fact that Charlotte and Atlanta are directly connected by I-85. How big of a rivalry is this NFL matchup, anyway?
