Did anyone catch this guy's rant yesterday? He said, in effect, "What we did to the league and especially New England is 'we beat you down.'" Easy big fella, 3 points ain't exactly the Little Bighorn. It must be a New York state of mind.

Catch'em up,

This from a guy that held the Giants over a barrel until the season almost started as to whether he was coming back to play or not!

Post Superbowl Balls!

Never said he wasn't entitled to say anything he wants and I am aware this is America. I, too, am allowed in the USA, to express my views and I think he was just a bit over the top.

and you don't think that holding the highest scoring offense in league history to 2 TD's (one of which they got off of a Pass interference call) is not a Beat Down....I don't see anything wrong with what he said....they DID deliver us a Beatdown, why do you think we lost? That turf saw more of Brady's ass than Gisele did.

it was considred a Beatdown when we beat the Rams....and that was 3 points.

A 12 1/2 point underdog wins the game sounds like a beatdown.

I guess opinions are like a$$holes, everybody's got one. Mine is that 3 points is an "eeked out" not a "beatdown" Jus sayin'...
BTW Who says it ain't fishin' season? If you put out the right bait you'll definately get a few BITES!!!!

He may have said in the huddle pep talk but he also said in front of the cameras at the podium during the Giants victory rally.

Yup the Pats won by three and were glad of it each time! No verbal diarrhea or disrespect. I guess that's what happens when you've never been there before, you don't know how to act.

What do you consider a QB picking his ass up off the ground 23 times?

My a-hole says that's a beatdown.

I don't know about that Pete. Maybe at the start of the season but a win like this Super Bowl gives the fans a short memory ( can you say Hall Of Fame )

I would like to know how many of the loyal Giants fans were calling for Coughlin's head after the first few games an also last year there was gripping about him. And how many were bitching about Manning being the guy. Any of you care to admit that?

Absolutely. The same way a lot of you guys were calling for "Francoma's" head much of the last 4 seasons. Or ship Manny out to Podunkville, or trade JD Drew for a case of Budweiser, and so on, and so on........

I actually like Tito. Manny I like him too. I was definitely ready to trade JD for can of Bud. Doesn't make you a bad person Lu. I was just curious. Funny how people do sub par for just a short period of time and they are lambasted. I always like when someone comes around to make people eat their words. I always root for the underdogs. That is why I can't look down on the Giants for what they did. Would have been a little easier if they had been from Sheboygan instead of Gotham City though.
