I know the Pats aren't a bad team, they have a hall of fame coach and hall of fame QB and have won (3) rings in 11 years and this is their 5th Superbowl appearance overall in that span. Also 3 points is only a fieldgoal, so they think something like a 24-21 Pats win. It doesn't bother me really that they are underdogs since they always are for some reason, it was just that I wanted to give the argument anyways for why the Giants should be the 3-point favorite instead.

I am not a gambling man though, so the odds don't really effect me. 

 

As for the quotes, I already gave a good place to start. It wasn't twisted by the media, I heard it myself. I am 100% positive you could find it in the Podcast for WFAN.

As for the "our" part, I would wager that if I said that it has much to do with the fact that I live in New York. Like I said, I have no real particular team. Well, I guess you could consider me a "New York Fan" in this case, if you really want to label me as any sort of fan. I could live with "New York Fan". 

Yes, I know they play in Jersey... 

 

Won't catch me rooting for the Yankees though.

Fair enough.

But regarding the quotes, a Giants player saying something about another QB isn't what I meant. I want to read quotes from Rodgers to see how he talks about himself, the Packers and his opponents. I rather form my own opionion than going by something that a player of an opposing team said.

When I get out of work I could take the time to find some but my point was that there are players who are bothered by what they feel is arrogance and/or cockiness and they could use it as a motivational force in games. I think Roddy White was another, although unlike Rolle he doesn't like it.

With White though it could easily come off as him being a sore loser.
