So Giants running back Brandon Jacobs doesn't like the Cowboys. Gee, newsflash. His comments were pretty funny though. Jacobs said he hates the Cowboys with a "bloody passion."

Cowboys linebacker Bradie James doesn't much like Jacobs either. He responded, but more than anything he stressed that the Cowboys can't get in a war of words with the Giants. They have to do it between the lines.

Here's James: "Oh, well, you know, he's in New York -- Broadway -- so he had to say what he had to say to build whatever up. Really, it's not about talking, it's about actions. We already know that after the play he's going to try to say something and try to get us to retaliate, all those things. We know him real well, we know them real well. We just got to keep our composure and not have any crazy penalties after the play. But, that's what they do, they try to come in and they think they can intimadate or whatever by talking. But, we can't afford to do all the talking. We need to be about action."

Marty B says he's ready for Giants
Tight end Martellus Bennett said he's ready to face the Giants and then he showed it as reporters gathered around him at his locker. Bennett excused himself for a second, turned around, picked up his helmet and put it on to do his interview.

"I'm ready for the game," Bennett said. "I'm strapped up right now. I'm ready, I'm bringing it this week like I do every week. I'm prepared at all times."

Then someone reminded Bennett that when Ricky Williams played for the Saints he often wore his helmet during interviews. Williams was later diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder.

"I don't have that," Bennett assured. "I like social people. I like social studies, too."

A nut?? The guy has a medical condition...show some respect.

If you want to hate on him for the weed smoking, sure, I can see that. But Social Anxiety Disorder is no joke.

Sort of.. It's more on the lines of most people occasionally feel nervous meeting a new person or speaking in front of a group.

Don't get it confused with just being shy.

In social anxiety disorder, everyday interactions cause extreme fear and self-consciousness. It may become impossible for you to eat with acquaintances or write a check in public, let alone go to a party with lots of strangers. If your life is disrupted by this kind of fear, you may have social anxiety disorder.

Pretty much the jist of it. Social phobia is probably a concept easier to understand.

People basically feel intensely uncomfortable in social situations. Pretty much what everyone feels to a certain degree but just magnified by a thousand.

No, it is no joke. And neither are other phobias. However, doing things that most even-keeled people consider outlandish makes the situation slightly funny.

Wearing a helmet during interviews is funny. Just as if some player carried their blankey with them to serve as some sort of protection.

And another thing. The guy has something that is generally considered to be treatable. He doesn't have some terminal illness, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. He has a distorted view and expectation of what will happen in social situations and it is generally something that people can recover from.

Lighten up a bit.

The funny part is Bennet really has not done much in the NFL but the Bucs feared him greatly. Somehow he got the rep of a great player without making the plays. Not that I doubt he can make plays.

You kidding me? It cracked me up to see him giving interviews with the helmet on. Very distracting to the person asking the question. It was only later that it came out that he suffered from SAD.

But when that guy splits out wide, he's got defenses shaking in their boots because the safety or LB is matched up 1 on 1 with him and it could get nasty one of these games.
