The more we know about the NY Giants, the more offensive they become. I realize my take is too "lowbrow" for much of the esoteric audience on this board, but I find their smarmy minority owner, arrogant playas, and secret symbolism truly offensive. Predicting victory, talking about how they are happy to play the Pats over other teams because they "match up so well", how they should have beat the Pats last time, dressing for a funeral. These guys think they are the '85 Bears. I'll be rooting for the Pats to run up the score, and if the Giants should suffer some non-crippling injuries, it couldn't happen to nicer group of guys.
There’s a reason each member of the Giants arrived in Phoenix wearing a black suit yesterday. They were dressed for a funeral.
The deceased? The Patriots dynasty.
Word out of New York today was that the players, in what was supposed to remain a private show of self-confidence, donned their funeral garb to signify the belief that the Patriots’ perfect season will conclude with a most imperfect finish.
The idea for the suits belonged to linebacker Antonio Pierce, who told the media it just represented the fact that the Giants were on a business trip.
“It’s just a team unity thing,” said wide receiver Amani Toomer. “That’s how this team is. We follow along.”
However, word trickled out today that the Giants had other intentions. When wide receiver Plaxico Burress was asked if the suits were meant for business or a funeral, he just smiled.
“It’s a business trip,” he said. “It could be both.”
Make of that what you will.
