    Even now that the game is over, it's clear the two teams don't like each other. During one stretch in the second quarter, Giants defensive back Antrel Rolle was in the middle of a couple scuffles. On one play, he and DeSean Jackson mixed it up after Michael Vick completed a 17-yard pass to Clay Harbor for a first down. On the very next play, Brent Celek and Rolle got tangled up after a LeSean McCoy run, and the officials whistled Rolle for an unnecessary roughness penalty that set up the Eagles touchdown. So what's Rolle's take on why things got heated? "I felt like they were cheap-shotting a little bit, they kept trying to put their hand up in my facemask and kept grinding after the play," Rolle said, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN New York. "I just had to let them know that I am not a pushover, I am not a punk under any means and sometimes you have to put your foot down. Even if it costs you a little bit, sometimes it has to be done." "I just felt like sometimes it is bigger than the game," Rolle continued later. "I don’t want them to get that attitude over us, that they have more swagger than us or they have more passion or more desire or even more toughness."

    so, the giants "finally" beat the eagles and all this dolt can do is act like a bleeding vag**a over a TE owned him for 15yrds on a block during a run play ?

    i was at the game, every time an eagles player ended up on the giants sideline there were players including those not even on the field for the play jumping in eagles players face and a couple of them took pop shots.

    so cry me a red river antrel. :icon_rolleyes:
