‘Were you at all perturbed by Willis McGahee’s pre-game comments (claiming he was the best RB in the league and that he wasn’t worried about the Raiders – they should be concerned about him) since this could be seen as providing incentive to the opposition?
Tom Donahoe: My understanding is that Willis’ comment was in regard to who he felt was the best running back in the league, and he felt that he was. We think that this is a healthy attitude for our players to take and in no way were the comments intended to disparage the Oakland Raiders. The question really had nothing to do with the Raiders but it had to do with Willis’ ability and talent.’
