Quote:All this trash talk is irrelevant.   It has no effect on the game.   It's the Super Bowl, for chrissakes.   If the players aren't up for the game already, then feeling insulted isn't going to do anything for them. 

 

You never heard of something called motivation? When one player talks trash about his opponent, the other team will hear about that and play harder to prove the guy wrong.

 

This situation could be like when Florida blew out Ohio State. After that game, the Gators said they were so much better because everyone expected them to lose.
