His confidence isn't the point. He's a kicker, he's not out there on the front lines. He's basically relying on his teammates to prove out his statements; he's not doing it himself. Ali talking is one thing -- he's stepping into the ring and taking the beating or dishing it out. But Bruschi said it best: "You want me to comment on what a kicker said?"

As for the media, it's their job to sell papers, to make ratings, to get people to read/watch what they're saying. Don't blame them because people like to read that stuff. Blame the people that read that stuff.
