While 49ers fans were verklempt after Saturday's emotional—and exciting!—win over the Saints, Giants safety Antrel Rolle believes they will be crying for different reasons this Sunday during the NFC championship. He said yesterday, "We are not going to be denied...We understand what we have as a team. It’s not all talent, it’s about chemistry and we are jelling at this point. Coaches and players being one the same page at the same time. We have one mind, to win a championship."
And today, he said during his weekly WFAN stint, “I wouldn’t take the field if I felt otherwise. I think we’re believing as a team. And I think we understand where we are, we understand where we’re trying to get to and we understand what it’s going to take for us to get there. We’re doing everything in our power. And like I said, we won’t be denied at this point.”
Fun fact—Rolle's blood vessels are filled with blood: "I don’t give a damn who we’ll be playing. I’ll take any opponent any given day. I don’t shy away from any opponent. My heart doesn’t pump any Kool Aid, only blood. I’m ready to play whenever, however, whenever, however. I’m ready for it." So, 49ers Bandwagonies, get ready.
