"Brandon Jacobs was asked whether Giants' win over the Philadelphia Eagles made people more confident in the team. The question was intended to gauge whether the locker room is more confident, but Jacobs perceived the question to mean those outside the locker room — and took a LeBron James/Plaxico Burress route in answering the question.

"The only thing that matters are people on this football team and in this organization," Jacobs said. "People outside that want to say they're fans and don't believe in us, I can care less if they ever believe in us. They don't mean anything to us if they don't believe in us. They can go back and finish living their miserable lives that they've been living and hoping that we lose.""
