Philly & New York: 'Love to Hate Each Other'

If you're not amped up for Sunday's battle with the New York Giants yet, go read this article in the New York Post in which the Giants players talk about the intensity and the hatred between the two football teams and their respective cities.

Tiki Barber, who will likely play in his final game ever this Sunday, says the passion makes for a great rivalry, "We both love to hate each other, and it makes for great games." When Giant Brandon Short is asked about what the game will be like on Sunday, he tells it like it is.

"It's gonna be one of the most hostile sporting environments imaginable when you go into Philadelphia," Short said, "just because the type of people they are; they're a blue-collar crowd ... I mean, they'll probably be swearing, throwing beer, heckling ... doing anything they can to give their team an advantage. And that's not anything less than I would expect from New York Giants fans if they were coming up here."

The word from the Giants: Bring it on!

I love the fact that a team who lost 6 of their last 8 games is talking smack. The article's author ends, "Where there's a will, there's a way. We'll see how much will these Giants have now." And you know what? I don't think the Giants have shown us they have the will.
