That could change soon, though.
A day after Giants cornerbacks Prince Amukamara and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie posed with Giants superfan "License Plate Guy," who was wearing an Eagles jersey with the No. 0 and the word "Super Bowls" written across the back, the smack talk has started to trickle out from Philadelphia.
"Did Prince win a Super Bowl? I know DRC didn't. I guess it's entertainment," McCoy told reporters on a conference call today.
Jeremy Maclin went on to say that the Giants are "living in the past," and that Antrel Rolle, the leader of the Giants' secondary, "talks too much." Rolle said earlier this week that the Eagles won the division in a down year last year.
