Memo to New Orleans Saints: Antrel Rolle says he was misquoted
By Greg Esposito Home / Arizona Cardinals, Feature Stories / ... Share Hey New Orleans Saints, Antrel Rolle doesn’t think Aaron Rodgers is better than Drew Brees. As a result, please remove any quotes that may have found their way onto bulletin-boards at the Super Dome.

This quote apparently no longer applies:

“Let me tell you something – that dude is scary,” Arizona free safety Antrel Rolle(notes) said of Rodgers. “We have a great defense, and we were up on him and ready to pounce, and he found ways to tear us apart.

“I don’t ever want to face him again in my life. I am dead serious. I’ll face Drew Brees any day of the week before I face him again.”

That quote, included in an article Sunday by Yahoo Sports’ Michael Silver, caused quite a stir over the last few days with the media and the New Orleans Saints. After practice Wednesday, Rolle took the time to address the words that, according to the Cardinals free safety, never came out of his mouth.

“It’s a complete and total lie,” Rolle told reporters. “First of all, I wasn’t even talking to Michael Silver. Adrian (Wilson) and myself were having a private conversation and I was simply praising Aaron Rodgers.

“(Silver) decided to throw Drew Brees’ name out there and I was like, ‘I’m not even talking about Drew Brees. I’m talking about Aaron Rodgers. . . . I have all the respect in the world for Drew Brees. His game speaks for itself.”

Got that New Orleans? He wasn’t even talking about Drew Brees, Michael Silver was. Rolle was just giving a verbal reach around to Rodgers, not a verbal slap to Brees.

If you want to be mad at someone, please join Antrel Rolle in directing your frustration in Silver’s direction.

In Silver’s defense, Rolle did say the Yahoo Sports writer “twisted and turned” his words. If we learned anything from last Sunday’s game, it’s that you can get away with twisting and turning, as long as everyone has shifted their attention to something more important.

I’m sure Yahoo Sports will review the article and conclude that it was “incidental misquoting”

That was my thoughts, too. Drew is still going to make an example out of him and the rest of that secondary.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Hello guys...Cards fan here,

Just wanted to say that Rolles comments were totally blown out of proportion...all he was doing was giving Rodgers huge props after one of the best QB playoff performances he/and pretty much everyone has seen ever.Come on he said it in the locker room minutes after the game HIGHLY doubt there was any neg. overtones toward Brees.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

No doubt!..that guy Silvers or who ever has been know to quote athletes in the lockeroom during normal player to player conversation with out the athletes knowledge..a very good way to get put on a players "reporter blackbook".

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

he's going to feel extra douchey every time he gets burnt. im glad he said it

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Ok..i see where you would run in a bar fight..out the door!!

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

I didnt think he would say something that foolish. But I dont think thats gonna stop New Orleans' momentum coming into this game

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

[QUOTE=NathanDrake;191788]huh??

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

haha just fooln

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

You mean Crawfishin..lol..

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

I don't think Brees needed any more reasons to show why he is the NFL's best....but this will probably give him much more incentive than the Cards can handle.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Jesus, They let anybody in here.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

NOT SO FAST. PFT reports....

"We know what you're thinking. It's a he-said/he-said thing. A proverbial pissing match. But then there's the fact that, before sounding off to reporters, Rolle contacted Silver.

Via text message.

A text message Silver saved.

The first line of it?

"Why did you put what I said in the papers."

No further questions, Your Honor.

:pokechop:Mr Rollover seems guilty S.R.S...and they have a team distraction now....ha ..i bet he's worried rite now..I would be ...lol..

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

lmfao@"team" distration...

Also lmfao@Silvers for making his job harder to gain interviews from players.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Trouble in paradise..lol..

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Too late .... I smell toast...... I am sure Rolle is familiar with it!

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Too late to take it back. I hope he looks at rolle before the game and says the line from tombstone......"You called down the thunder well now you've got it. You tell em I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!"

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

And then after Rolle gets torched, Brees walks up to him and says "You gonna do somethin'? Or are you gonna just stand there and bleed?"

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Rolle is a douche. He said it. At least when Ray Ray Lewis says something stupid he admits to it. Drew and Shock were both asked about it and responded with "I don't really listen to those things". Which is big bad football talk for "yeah, I heard it and have it on my radar".

Arizona fans are scrambling to get it swept under the rug because they know the fire it ignites. Which is even more funny to read.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Yeah man, I think this is just another case of the media trying to stir the pot. We saw the same thing earlier in the year when Reggie made a statement that he thought the team COULD go undefeated. (He went on to praise his team mates for their work ethic).

It's just been a relatively quiet year for T.O. so they have to generate stories somewhere.

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

It was in quotes man!

And even if the quotes were not for real, funny trying to withdraw now. :biglaser:

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

F.F approved..lol

I'll be your Huckleberry!:handguns:

Re: Rolle says he was Misquoted about Drew
 

Rollover did just that...lol..run that mouth buddy ..you pissed Drew off and paid for it...
