"On Friday, Giants wide receiver Mario Manningham dissed the abilities of Patriots slot corner Julian Edelman, saying he was looking forward to going up against Edelman in the Super Bowl.

"I hope he's out there when we play them," Manningham told the Herald at the Giants facility in East Rutherford, N.J.

"I don't want to sound like that, but you know what I mean. To our advantage, I hope he's out there.""
