lol @ Plax

Hes their only WR

Toomer has more drops than Brady has TDs

Smith has done nothing as rookie

Sinorice Moss has done nothing in 2years

Randy Moss > Plaxico
Gaffney or Stallworth > Toomer
Welker > Smith

Seriously. Getting ridiculous. Read like 8 different articles ripping him because of that one statement, which I didn't even interpret to be a declaration of the Giants receivers being better than the Pats receivers. That's not exactly what he said, and even standing alone with none of the accompanying questioning that likely led to his statement, it still doesn't register to me as slighting the Patriots. I guess some people see things differently.

Agree with the two above posts. I heard the actual quote, and they have twisted the crap out of it. And then by reading it, you can't even hear the tone...stupid media has nothing better to do.

Like before I was listening to WIP (610 in Philly) and a caller said he thought the Pats were STILL cheating and they didn't deserve any of thier rings. Hugh Douglas (one of the co-hosts) said "Yeah, they have one that belongs to me!" Me typing that makes it sound like he's serious...he wasn't. He thought that caller was nuts, and said so. Then he went on to say "In the NFL, if you're not cheating, you're not trying."

Agree.. similar to Osi's interview with Bob Costas on "Inside the NFL"... way blown out of proportion by the rest of the media..

Sure, he was referring to a rough match up and looking forward to tangling with Matt again... However, I don't think he said even anything close to what Hardwick said about Sey....

Interestingly, some of the guys who were all for the Pats until last week have now started picking the Giants... I guess it's all media strategy, right ? Get everyone interested.. This is going to be one of the worst Sundays until next week..

The scary part is, it was the New York media that spun the quote that way; getting it on the National Wires.

I'm good at finding disrespect. There's no disrespect here.
