"Tom Brady knows full well the Giants will be coming for him again. And again. And again.

And if bulletin board material means anything in these Super Bowls, the Giants will have more fuel for their fire, thanks to Brady himself.

Brady last night tried to shrug off his invitation to 25,000 delirous Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium to join him in a Super Bowl XLVI victory after-party. After the Patriots landed, Brady met the national media and attempted to explain.

"It was a pep rally," Brady said with a smile, as laughter filled the room. "Certainly the players were excited, I know that 25,000 fans who were there were excited as well so ... We had great support home and away. Hopefully we'll have some Patriots jerseys in the stands next Sunday night.""
