Talk is cheap

Talk is cheap, but Plaxico Burress’s fine won’t be. “A lot of players, for whatever reason, feel the need to carry guns.” — Giants president John Mara. “I used to see guys walk into clubs with security, and I was like, ‘Who do they think they are?’ But now I’m like, ‘Wo wow power leveling w. This is a big deal.’ There’s a lot of incidents that happen around the league — guys having fun and socializing and they get in places where people are envious and jealous of them. Something needs to be done, because it’s not going to get any better.” — Giants receiver Amani Toomer. “We don’t want to talk about Plaxico Burress. He’s at home, he’s doing well, he’ll return. That’s it.” — Giants running back Brandon Jacobs. “It hurts just a little bit because we were thinking about the playoffs. Even though we were 3-8, we were still thinking that there was a chance that we could get to the playoffs.” — Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (honest, he really said this) after the Raiders lost to the Chiefs. Where’s Jim Mora when you need him? “The message was, don’t give up. A lot of people around the league probably think we are going to pack it in and give up. But we won’t.”

LaDainian Tomlinson, describing his postgame speech to his Chargers teammates after San wow power leveling Diego, a popular Super Bowl pick before the season, dropped to 4-8. “It just means we’re 9-3.

Patriots running back Kevin Faulk, after Welker left the game after he was leveled by Steelers safety Ryan Clark. “Right now, it’s all about us being the best we can be. If that means somebody else not making it to the playoffs, that’s for them to worry about.” — 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, after San Francisco’s win at Buffalo left the Bills (6-6) in last place in the A.F.C. East. “I really feel something special about this team. This is a championship team.” — Tampa Bay running back Cadillac Williams. “When you get your head kicked in like that, there’s not much to say.
