Oh the irony

NY Post:

“We gave them the football game," declared Lions quarterback Jon Kitna, who threw for 377 yards but was also picked off three times. “In November and December you cannot let a team beat you at your place that is not better than you. This isn't high school football."

That claim attracted the attention of Michael Strahan, who got up close and personal with Kitna, sacking him three times in a full day's work that left him weary but still aching for a fight.

“Did he really say that?" Strahan asked. “I honestly, in the first half, thought that was probably one of the worst teams we were playing that was 6-3, to be honest with you. So I don't quite understand why Jon would say that. Bottom line is, we're 7-3, they're what, 6-4? Maybe we'll see 'em down the road. If that's the case we'll beat that [butt] again."

One week earlier:

"They're absolutely not a better team than us," said defensive end Osi Umenyiora. "They may have played better today in the second half, but I'd never say they were a better team."

If you could win in the NFL by running your mouth, the Giants would be Super Bowls champs.

Now, that is just plain funny.

Agreed - they are both overrated.

Thank you for posting this. As soon as I learned of Kitna and Strahan's exchange earlier today, I remembered Osi's comments from last week.

Now the only way that would have been funnier is.... if the same Giants player said it each time

Us higher up teams have more important things to worry about like trying to get to the Super Bowl, vs fighting over mediocrity.
