Belichick speaks
Well, before we get into what Bill Belichick had to say two days before the Super Bowl, it should be noted that football royalty arrived at the Media Center.
Jim Brown, the Hall of Fame running back from the Cleveland Browns (and possibly the greatest running back in NFL history), just made his way toward Radio Row and everyone else parted.
On to Belichick. He spoke for about 18 minutes, didn't have much to say (as usual) and didn't pose with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which was positioned about five feet to his right.
Some of the things he said:
Asked about his relationship with the Giants: "I have the greatest respect for that organization. But I'm on the other side of the field now and there's no way I'm pulling for them.''
On whether the regular-season game between the teams will matter: "Each game takes on its own personality. I know we hope we can hold them to less than 35 points this game, just as I'm sure they hope they can hold us to less than 38.''
On how the team has maintained its dominance this season: "Give the players all the credit. They deserve it.''
Giants Coach Tom Coughlin is up next. We'll let you know what he has to say.
