Give Him The Damn Microphone

Q: With guys like Ray Lucas and Keyshawn Johnson, do you think [the Jets] will target you Monday night?

Patriots cornerback Ty Law: I don't know if I have a big target on my chest or something, but if they do, so be it. I'm looking to go out there and make some plays, especially on Monday Night Football. If they target me, shame on them.

Q: The reason we say this is because Keyshawn had such a huge game against you, with eight catches for 200 yards in the opener.

Law: Oh, yeah? Well, if he had those catches on me, I'd like to see him and let him try it again....

Q: Also, he thinks [ Miami corner] Sam Madison is better than you.

Law: Oh, yeah? Well, to each his own. I think [Patriots receiver] Terry Glenn is better than a lot of receivers, too. So everyone has their own opinion. I'm not trying to get into a shouting match with Keyshawn. I know he's a great receiver, and we'll see what happens Monday night. I don't have anything negative to say, man.

Q: Hey, Ty, this is Keyshawn. I just wanted to mess with you a little bit.

Law: You started getting me fired up.
