NeMesiS Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 http://www.philly.com Asante predicts Super Bowl victory Sunday, May 17, 2009 Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel and defensive end Trent Cole have joined the Twitter revolution in the last week and Asante, in particular, seems to be enjoying the interaction, especially for a guy who rarely talks to the media other than after games. (This is a post about athletes and Twitter and we won't even go on about Drew Rosenhaus.) Samuel has jumped right in,with his prediction for the Eagles: "this is about to be a superbowl winning season fareal." "Defence wins championships," declare several other posts In other predictions, Samuel says Jeremy Maclin will be one of the top five rookies in the league.

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 As a coach I would immediately eat alive anyone who put that in words. Because they rarely back it up with actions. One thing to say "I have the confidence that this team can go all the way...blah...blah...blah"; as talk is cheap. However it takes on a whole different connotation when presented in written form as it comes off as boasting. That is why they play the games and we shall see......better than hearing about the Broke Backs winning their 50th S.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Fuck the Eagles. Fuck D4P. (Just wanted to throw that in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Fuck D4P. (Just wanted to throw that in there) There is no need to justify that kind of comment. His sole purpose seems to be to trash Giant fans. Reciprocating it is natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 At one point D4P was as welcome a member as DFNG, but maybe he doesn't try as hard as he did on GMB, because he has lost some of his comedy gold. He's still worth a laugh or two now and then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when you declare your guaranteeing a win over a rival that it's a bad idea. It just gives the opponent another reason to try harder to beat you. Every team is thinking they have a shot at something during the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If you've been in the league any length of time you realize you better stay low keyed because the fall is tuff to take when people start quoting you from months back. Its best to be confidient and wait for Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandolphScott Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Fuck Asante Samuel. Donovan McNabb had a good year and was relatively healthy, this year will be the exact opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesta Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Anyone remember a player to predict a super bowl victory then achieve it? I'm at a loss. I think an Eagles superbowl appearance would be a good start Asante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
