Pierce is right in that they won. Laughing at the opponent you beat is different, IMO.I didn't interpret it the same way you did. As much as it pains me to say this, Pierce is right - the Giants did get the last laugh...
"It's going to be funny for me," Pierce said. "I'm going to laugh. We won. I can laugh. We got the last laugh.

Starting a new season by laughing at last year's opponents isn't the right thing to do regardless of how many games you won last year.
I would hate to have Brady or Vrabel say they will be laughing at the Jets when they play them this season.
Peirce has won the right to brag, not to laugh.
I think you may be kind of taking it out of context a little bit. I agree the way they have been acting (on the whole) since the SB is ridiculously unprofessional, but I just don't see it here.
BMF, this is the New York media we are talking about. Do you honestly believe what they write? NOT ME. Unless it's quoted, I don't believe anything not written by Mike Reiss. John Tomase, taught me a valuable lesson about the media and their agendas, and the NEW YORK Media HAS an agenda. I don't believe anything they print. For all we know they twisted this Pierce guys words to support their agenda of Patriot HATRED. This is OLD NEWS. The Patriots should laugh at them. They are the Defending Super Bowl champs and nobody gives a Damn. Their QB is not on the cover of SI. The QB of the team he's going to laugh at is on the cover.

When the 2008 season is over, we will see who is LAUGHING.
And when did the Patriots laugh at them before that game...after that infamous Tomase article or before it? If this alleged laughter took place before the Tomase fiasco, then this report has some merit. If they claim that it happened right before the game, then that is BS. NO ONE in Patriots Nation was laughing after Tomase dropped that bomb.
Giants receiver Amani Toomer on Manning keeping plays alive: “What can you say? You saw the plays he made. He was able to elude the rush at just the right time when we needed it the most. I can't say enough about how Eli played.”
Toomer said the Patriots had been inviting the Giants to their victory parties.
“They were inviting us to their parties after the game,” he said. “They showed us no respect.”
Did anyone on this board say it was unprofessional when Rodney did the mock Philly eagle wing flap at the end of super BowlXXXIX? Was it unprofessional for Symour and the D-line to invite the Giants to their SB party befor the game was over? All is fair... or whatever other stupid cliche you want to say. Next time win the game.
As much as it kills me to hear quotes like this, you gotta win the game and if you don't you can't complain.

He was responding to the reporter asking him about those (Pats) players who were (allegedly) laughing at the Giants before the SB. Not about the team in general. That's how I interpreted it.
Yup......to the victor goes the spoils.
He can crow all he wants - they won, we lost and we eat it.
I hope we can use that for number four and STFU until we finally get it.
When we do......we can begin to crow about being among the best of all dynasty teams. But NOT until then.
I understand that winning gives you the right to brag about your conquest. You'll have to explain to me what gives you the right to laugh at a defeated opponent.He has the right to do both if he wants
Classy players just STFU to the media or say things like "Well,I am looking forward to seeing these guys again and hopefully have the same outcome even if its preseason because it means more to beat them again since they are a pretty good team" or something like that -
IMO Its not right to gloat over something that happened 7 months ago big event or not,especially when you have nothing near the kind of team you had back then with nearly 1/3 of the starting defense gone and little chance of going anywhere this year.
Gosh, sorry if not everyone thinks exactly the way you do. Is there someplace we can go to discuss things that interest us without upsetting you? Or perhaps you could list all the things we need to do in order to be able to post here.Some of you people really need to shed the gossamer skin.
