Comments on: Your first Super Bowl non-story story

As a Giants fan I will say this. I really don’t see any “bulletin board” material right there. Brady didn’t say anything wrong. He’s confident but he never said that Patriots would win.

Also, I really hope that this goes to show every other fan of other teams how the NY Media is. That is the BIGGEST MARKET in the Country. So many people are standing right there ready to make a story/article about anything. You don’t have to say things in order for them to try to “assume” what you were saying. They are assuming that Brady is guaranteeing a win when really he didn’t say anything except hopefully and that they have a goal. Pretty obvious, non-story material.

Brady is fortunate he doesn’t have to deal with these types of people on a consistent basis. The NY Media can really go at you with certain questions day in and day out. Funny plenty of people now criticize the NY Media, which I agree with, for this story. Yet when they do similar things to the Giants it’s the Giants that are the talkers. Plenty of players talk quite a bit on every team, we are shown what is quoted and reported.

The entire Super Bowl is a non-story until game time (and sometimes not even then).

*************************************
How did this comment get so many thumbs ups? 6 of the last 10 Super Bowls have been really suspenseful and exciting. Don’t want the game if you think it is so boring.

“Hopefully” the New York media can begin acting more professional.

“We’re a confident football team. We have every reason to be,” guard Brian Waters said.

———————————————————-

Really?

How many rational people are truly
“confident” in the Pats defense?

Their offense needs to score a lot of points
or they are gonna lose…

————————————

Its funny how Gianta fans are so muddeled into thinking their defense isnt one of the worst in the league as well lol…

Giants are ranked 27th or 28th in points allowed per game where Pats were 16th …

Also, Giants secondary is almost as bad at Passing yards per game as the Patriots…

So who wants to talk about what team needs to put up more points? Cuz if the stats for the year are correct the Giants def wont win this game only scoring 21

The NJ Giants, their fans, and the NY/NJ media are trying waaayy to hard to play the disrespect card.

Accept the fact that nearly everyone outside of New England is picking you to win on Sunday, and use something else to motivate you…this isn’t 2007-08.

ESPNNewYork.com had a headline that said “Brady planning victory party.” Sigh.

Sigh, indeed. You’d hope they would at least try and seem remotely objective.

Yet you lap it up when they do this to every little think Rex Ryan says? Then do it yourselves.

Hypocrisy in action.

Shocking considering ESPN hates all things Patriots, of course they would take a complete non issue and try to make it something more.

pft says… (You know it’s a bad sign when PFT thinks someone is stretching for a story.)

——————————————————–
this is exactly the type of thing you ladies at pft have been doing with the giants quotes for quite a while… taking quotes and deliberately misconstruing them in order to get hits or ‘stir the pot’ if you will.

Just wake me Sunday morning. Hype Week is bad enough without teams from major markets and without rematch fever.

This proves there are plenty of dumb people in the world if this is actually a story.

I guess people never learned the true meaning of the words “hopefully” or “guarantee”.

Terrible journalism.

He said HOPEFULLY. Had he been guaranteeing anything (thereby being something that could become actual bulletin board stuff) I don’t think “hopefully” would have been the word choice.

I can say HOPEFULLY I will win the lottery tomorrow. Does that mean I’m going out and buying a Lamborghini tonight?

Nope, they are Fox and Friends.

BTW, over half of Fox News viewers believe WMDs were found in Iraq.

Look as a giants fan I say who cares? But if a giants player said the same thing ALL the patriots fans would be on here commenting on how all we do is talk and how it’s bulletin board material and yada yada yada.

Are you kidding me? The gmen talk more than the Jets.

A team that would need someone from the other team spouting off to motivate them wouldn’t be in the Super Bowl to begin with. I am sure the Giants don’t care.

ESPN Sounds like MSNBC trying to make a story out of nothing because there are no storys…..MSNBC and ESPN are alot alike and are barely tolerable to watch. There is no such things as reporters now who are unbias… they are all
“analyst” so that they cant be held accountable for what they say or do or how they make crap up. This site does that as well… tries to read into everything but it doesnt matter if right or wrong!!

This non-story is probably already dead. Too bad ESPN will be doing its best to create stories where they don’t exist. They employ Skip Bayless. So they are capable of anything.

No one has any problem with the giants players promising a win and giants fans predicting a complete blowout but Tom Brady says anything at all and the New York papers and fans blow it up to be the most controversial statement in the world…I just don’t understand the need to constantly make the giants out to be the underdogs going against the big bad patriots who like to mouth off when none of them ever say anything…stop the talking and let’s just play the game

Osi was just saying that he’s going to fight Matt Light.

Does that not deserve ridicule?

Also, this is a non-story. Brady doesn’t talk sh!t unless you’re the Jets.
