Saquon Barkley scoffs at ‘idiotic’ Super Bowl curse

Yes, indeed, Saquon Barkley says, being this close to a Super Bowl makes him hungrier to get to one as a participant.

Barkley, the Giants’ star running back, completed a magnificent rookie season but his team did not get remotely close to the playoffs. He arrived in town to promote a variety of endeavors. He looked as if he enjoyed the experience. He prefers to return one day soon, along with uniform and shoulder pads, and actually play in the game instead of hanging out on the outskirts during the week leading into the game.

“Definitely,’’ Barkley said.
