Brandon Jacobs explains hatred for Cowboys

Few athletes in all sports rile Dallas-are fans more than Brandon Jacobs. The Giants running back loves to loathe the Cowboys. And that will never change, he said Thursday:
``If I play for the Giants, or if I play for Buffalo, or if I play for anybody, my hatred for the Cowboys will remain the same because as a kid I just never liked the Cowboys. No one ever did anything to me. It's just that I took the team that a lot of people loved and that was the one I disliked.''
Even in the offseason, Jacobs was shoveling disrespect on the Cowboys, telling a national radio audience: ``I'm not a fan of Tony Romo. I don't think he's that good a passer, to be honest with you.'' Before the Sept. 20 game at Cowboys Stadium, Jacobs said, ``I hate the Cowboys with a bloody passion.''
``He hasn't stopped talking,'' Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said. ``I think when they played Arizona ... he'd say, `We've got the Cowboys Week 13 or Week 12.' That's all he does.''
Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff, a teammate of Jacobs at Auburn, offered a surprisingly different assessment:
``He's actually a really nice guy. We both have on the field mentality where you're nasty a little bit. He talks a whole lot more than I do, but he's a good guy. He's still a good friend of mine.''
Jacobs has been a hot topic of converation. In the first five games, all victories, Jacobs averaged 20 carries. He's had only one game with 20 carries since, and New York is 1-5 in that span.
He's averaging 3.9 yards per carry with 683 yards and three touchdowns. In each of the previous two seasons, he averaged 5.0 yards while gaining more than 1,000 yards. He had 15 touchdowns last season.
``We have been good for a long time and that's what is so exasperating to everybody,'' Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said of the running game. ``I don't think it is any single thing. Regardless of what it is, it hasn't been as good, it hasn't been as consistent.''
