Your thinking is the real problem. Did you read the quote or don't you read in English? In English we use "are" to indicate a state of being. Example, "Our receivers are better than theirs." Also, it's customary in English to indicate a questionable statement with "may be". That is not the one word "maybe". It's the two words indicating "may be in a state of being." Typically in English we use the words "may be" to draw comparisons without also drawing hardened conclusions.
The only ones drawing hardened conclusions are thin-skinned Patriots fans who I don't seem to want to relate to these days. What I don't get is how you guys can twist a guy's words into something that he never intended. Forget the fact that he should have said nothing. That's beside the point. The point is that he said something harmless, like the FredEx joke that was intended to be a point of lighthearted humor. Then somebody with thin skin turns it into WWIII.
So I have a question for you. If what he said is so "stupid" why didn't you laugh it off?
The fact is that the Giants have very good receivers. Let us not argue like school children about whose are better. Let's just say that we wouldn't trade our guys for their guys. But does that mean that they don't have excellent receivers worthy of some kudos or attention? Of course not. We're supposed to be grown ups here, right? Burris did not guarantee anything, and I think what you guys are doing is reacting as if he did. Even you used the word "insult". The only insult is your lack of brain power.
