& During a Nov. 7, 1964 college football game between Navy and the University of Maryland, a Maryland player, Jerry Fishman, twice gave Navy fans the bird. For the next 40 years, Navy refused to schedule Maryland in football.

Thats good enough right there, but when the Baltimore Sun tracked Fishman down maryland football Florida in 2005, when the two teams were at long last scheduled to play again after four decades, the 61-year-old Fishman was totally unrepentant.

What do I need to apologize for? he said. Its a rivalry. When we played, the Maryland fans hated Navy, and the Navy fans hated Maryland.
