Poteat warns Giants against comments

Here are America’s favorite underdogs, preening for the cameras, appearing on late-night television, boldly calling out the opposition while aiming their slingshots directly at Goliath.

The New York Giants are basking in the fairy tale that accompanies every Cinderella story.

But eight-year veteran NFL cornerback and Delaware resident Hank Poteat said the Giants should be careful.

Every slight of Super Bowl opponent New England — overt or subtle — and every boast of supremacy is bound to catch the attention of Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

“Belichick is very thorough,” said Poteat, who lives in Glasgow and played for Belichick when the Patriots edged the Eagles in the Super Bowl, 24-21, in 2005.

“He gets everything throughout the league or the newspaper, where someone might have said this or that. Even if it had nothing to do with our game or our team, he’ll have info on a guy.

“That’s why you see guys pretty much not say a lot, because if you do say the wrong thing or say too much, you best believe it’s going to be brought up in a team meeting.”
