Pierce loves to play the no-respect card, maintaining a list of linebackers drafted ahead of him and crossing out their names when they exit the league. Since he can’t perform any better—he’s one of two Giant defenders familiar with the notion of “tackling” and cleans up any number of the team’s messes on his own—we suggest that he raid the Rodney Dangerfield catalog for some self-deprecating color: “Tom Coughlin and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.” Rim shot!
