Trent Dilfer was on ESPN radio earlier today (around 1:00 p.m.). I don't know if they archive interviews like 'EEI, but if so it is definitely worth a listen. Less than 10 minutes long, he was sharp, intelligent, insightful and funny.
Anyway, he was asked what chance the Giants have to beat the Patriots. His response, best I can remember:
"the same chance as any other team.....which is to say NONE if the Patriots play well. If the Patriots play poorly, as they did in the AFCC against San Diego, then they have a chance."
Generally called them terrific, the best team he's ever seen, immensely talented, etc. etc. Businesslike and professional. "the model for all teams in ALL sports", etc.
Said Brady's best trait was his poise in handling everything on AND off the field, and how he may go down as the greatest ever.
Also spoke about how the NFL's high maintenance players suck the life out of the quarterback and the team, which is why Eli is performing better now that Tiki Barber and Shockey are out of action.
