Giants inspired by JerryWorld, too

Jerry Jones expects his brand new, billion-plus-dollar football palace to motivate the Cowboys. He has used terms like "play to the level of that stadium."

While architecture as inspiration seems like a stretch for NFL players, at least one member of the Giants is giddy to play in the first regular-season game at Jerry World.

"I'm really, really, really excited for the opportunity to be able to open up their new stadium and play against them," Brandon Jacobs said, per the New Jersey Star-Ledger. "I'm glad they picked us. I guess it says something about them playing a certain team I guess they thought were the perfect ones to go in there and get their first win (against)."

Jacobs, who hates the Cowboys "with a bloody passion," hinted that the Cowboys saw the Giants as a homecoming date of sorts. That obviously isn't the case, and the hunch here is that the television networks had more say in picking the Cowboys' first home foe than Jerry did.

But Jacobs' statement is similar to rallying cries heard from the Ravens before and after the Texas Stadium finale, which isn't a fond memory around Valley Ranch.

I'm just glad we're gonna win this one...
Thanks for the insight, Brandon!

The 2 most over used phrases on the DMN Blog are "Jerry World" and "the Coachable WR."

Are new ideas impossible?

No kidding, lol. You'd think an NFL player would know that individual NFL teams don't get to schedule who they get to play and when.

Jacobs is extremely and uncommonly stupid.

:laugh2: Well,sure doesnt seem that Jacobs knows that or is smart enough to realize that. I couldnt resist saying that. He should know that the NFL makes up the schedule, not the teams.

You got to lower you expectation when it comes to Jacobs, we're talking about the player who was looking forward to seeing the Eiffel tower when the Giants played their London game a few years ago though :laugh2:

Jacobs is extremely and uncommonly stupid.

I heard him do an interview after Albert Hanesworth talked about him. He couldn't get the words out of his mouth when he was NOT trying to talk smack. He can only talk straight when garbage/smack comes out of his mouth. When he has to say something intelligent..........insert foot in mouth.:laugh2:

I'm pretty sure the teams can have input and make suggestions about various games. I remember reading an article last year about how the Cowboys were asked who would they like to close out the old stadium against and how surprised people were when they requested Baltimore. I wouldn't be surprised if they were allowed to make a suggestion or two regarding the home opener this year.

You're not kidding.

I imagine he even gets on his own teammates' nerves.

When you say the Cowboys, do you mean the players or the front office requested Baltimore?

Im sure there are some Jerrys kids, starting him this week on their fantasy team...
