Where does a 300-pound gorilla sit? Wherever the New York Giants tell him to, that's where! We previously posted about this gorilla and the fact that the G-men thought themselves a "team of destiny". Is there any such thing? The previous question remains; don't all players think that? What do we make of this destiny thing? Is it a feeling? Is it an arrogant rant? Is it blind ambition? What would have happened if the Pats had continued on to perfection? What then, Strahan? What then, Plax? Tom Brady chuckled at the fact that it was suggested they would only score 17 points when Burress looked into his crystal ball. Who would have known that this offensive juggernaut would not even make that small number? Did the Giants? Does anyone really know... I mean KNOW.... that they will be victorious in a team sport? Of course not. Too many variables. But, when comments are made in Nostradamus-like fashion, those comments will haunt you or heroize you. Look at what we have now: Plaxico is a confident underdog with a ring, Strahan is a wise veteran seer, Brady is an arrogant ex-champion. See? Our words stay with us. How those words play out is not totally in the hands of the speaker. Ever notice how predictions that come true are heralded later as matters of fact? "I knew we would do it, I knew we would win!" However, when the prediction fails, it was simply a profession of confidence. Talking is so easy, isn't it? Words are powerful, statements are volatile. Be confident, be careful.
