The Giants will take on the Eagles this Sunday in Philly and they’ve added fuel to the fire of an already heated rivalry. Giants’ cornerbacks Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara took a picture with the Giants’ fan known as the license plate guy. The fan donned an Eagles jersey with the name “Superbowls” and the No. 0, an obvious shot at the fact the Eagles still haven’t won the big game yet, and Rodgers-Cromartie and Amukamara made zeros with their hands. The picture was tweeted out and of course it caused quite a stir.

The picture was especially bad for Rodgers-Cromartie who played two disappointing seasons with the Eagles and didn’t live up to the “Dream Team” moniker they briefly acquired. In addition to that, he’s been to the Super Bowl twice (Cardinals & Broncos) and hasn’t won the big game yet either. He of course later apologized for the picture.
“We were just two guys taking a picture. We didn’t think nothing of it,” said Rodgers-Cromartie, who also tweeted an apology. “Definitely not being disrespectful towards anybody. Just meeting the requirements of a fan. He wanted us to take a picture, and we took it.”
Giants’ coach Tom Coughlin was not happy about the picture either. “Coach Coughlin’s all about, ‘Talk is cheap, play the game,’” Amukamara said. “He felt like we were talking, so we just had to explain ourselves.”
