An Idiot Speaks

Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce should keep his mouth closed. In an interview with the New York Post, Pierce claims Dallas is not the team to beat in the NFC East. Here is a portion of the article.

Heading into the opener, linebacker Antonio Pierce yesterday was asked if he saw the first opponent for the Giants - the rival Cowboys - as the team to beat in the division.

“I see the Giants,” Pierce immediately shot back.

The Giants?

“Why are they better than us?” Pierce said. “My answer is us. We were on top of this division the last two years, we lost it at the end of the season last year. But it’s OK, we want it that way. We’ll finish last. It probably will be Dallas, Philly and Washington all tied for first place. We’ll probably be 0-16 hoping we get, who is the No. 1 pick next year?”

Okay. Someone didn't tell Pierce that Dallas leads the series against the Giants 52-34-2. Vegas says Dallas by 6. Dallas has nine more division titles and 12 more playoff berths than the Giants.
He said the Giants were on top of the division the last two years. Folks, this is untrue. This is exactly why I think the NFL needs to enact a continuing education program for NFL players, chiefly NY Giants players. There are more dumb-asses on this team like Pierce shown below, than a all-you-can-eat buffet at a Kentucky barbecue. That's really all Pierce says in the article. The sensational Post just decided to make it a story and disclose the idiot's comments.

UPDATE: Another Giant said something stupid.

Brandon Jacobs said to the press: "I think we're going to go to Dallas this Sunday and whup their (butt)."

Umm, OK, Brandon. Good. Then he realizes what he just said and retracts it.

"Well, I just think we'll go play well. I'm going to say that," he said. "We're going in there and play well and hope we come out with a victory.

Sure, Brandon.
