Why We Love It When Superstars Shut Down No-Name Trash Talkers

by Glenn Davis | 3:58 pm, September 16th, 2011

Earlier today, we wrote about Jaguars receiver Jason Hill suggesting star Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis – one of the best players in the entire NFL – is overhyped because he plays in New York. Well, it didn’t take long for that to get back to Revis. Here’s what he had to say:

“I don’t even know who that dude is. What’s his name again? I have no clue. I don’t know who he is, whatever he said is what he said. Whatever his opinion is of us, we’ll find out on Sunday. I don’t care what he says, I don’t know him. He don’t know me, he don’t know the Jets, so he’ll find out on Sunday.”

Clearly Revis has only never heard of Hill because Hill plays in Jacksonville. Seriously, though: we just hope Hill’s actually able to play on Sunday so there’s a potential payoff to all these words. We told you trash talking was fun.

Mike Prada Here's why the Celtics are having issues with the 76ers: with Allen a non-factor, Bradley out and Pierce playing hurt, they aren't that good
