it’s a story that Bart Scott has happily told for years, but we’ll welcome it again on this quiet Thursday.
It’s a story about the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins, two teams separated by less than a hundred miles, fighting over the same group of strippers.
Bart: "#Redskins were always jealous of #Ravens… At the clubs, all the girls wanted the Ravens… We were fighting over strippers in DC."

This is Scott’s exact quote from a 2011 piece ESPN did on the AFC and the rivalry’s that consume them. Scott brought up the Redskins-Ravens stripper rivalry all by himself.
Do you sense a rivalry between the Jets and Giants?
“Not at all. Like I said when I was in Baltimore I could remember with the Redskins you had guys fighting over strippers and all kind of stuff. I don’t sense that here. I think it is a mutual respect. I think the town is big enough for both of us. I think we were just trying to make a statement that hey we wanted a little bit bigger piece of the spotlight because when I got here my sense was pretty much all Giants type of town. We played in Giants Stadium. We just want to get our piece of the pie. We respect them, but we would definitely love – we look forward to that game. I believe it is the 24th of December for bragging rights and hoping that’s the game that could help us win this division.”Bart you gotta help me out. You guys fought for strippers? What does that mean?
“When you are in a small place like Baltimore and the temperature is relatively cold – hey you compete over the same chicks. That’s a football players favorite spot. Especially young football players. It was always a rivalry. Guys fight about hey that is my girlfriend and that’s my girlfriend, but here? Five million people, maybe more. There is plenty for everybody.”
Bart is always full of quotes, but shouldn’t there be a few strip clubs in each city. Did they fight over which city the strippers would frequent, or would Ravens players really travel to D.C. to take sh*t over?
