Here is
@Gil_Brandt
on NFL radio when asked about Dwayne Haskins.
“He was a guy that was living to be dead.”
“It was always something” with Haskins
“Maybe it he stayed in school a year he wouldn’t do silly things [like] jogging on a highway.”
A player telling a ref he is eligible.
A gray line of scrimmage that is enforced with warnings.
Measuring first downs with old men carrying a chain.
The NFL has more attention than ever, and its archaic rules and system is not equipped to handle it.
I’ve long been a Tyrann Mathieu fan. He’s had a great career. But he’s unrecognizable this season. Making business decisions on a weekly basis.

It's been 30 months since "Rome wasn't built in a day, dahling." Giants have the 2nd-fewest sacks and 3rd-lowest pressure rate in the NFL. Still waiting for Rome.
Not gonna try to profit or promote off these sad circumstances. Dwayne Haskins’ “My Cause My Cleats” charity in 2019 was

The Dave Gettleman hire is shaping up to be the Giants’ most disastrous since the pre-George Young era. Has set the franchise back a half-decade (at least). Remember this when John Mara speaks glowingly of him when he “retires” in 3 weeks.
The

needed to restructure the contracts for Riley Dixon & Kyle Rudolph to create $353,890 of cap room to have some space to operate, source said.
Giants had to rush that snap because Jones clearly didn't get a play call until :20 left on the clock. Coaching staff completely unprepared for the possibility of a 4th down.
While we're talking playoff WRs, Hakeem Nicks' 2011 run was one of the most dominant forgotten stretches in NFL history. Only Larry Fitzgerald in 2008 had more rec yds in a single playoffs.
The Giants firing Joe Judge is not about getting rid of a bad coach. It’s about taking the first step towards acknowledging how bad things have gotten and how much things need to change.
Since 2013, the Giants have used five 1st/2nd round picks on O-linemen, most in the NFL.
Yet they had the worst 2020 pass block grade in the NFL per
@PFF
, and are going to cut their best OL because they can’t afford him despite having a QB on a rookie deal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This was a bad moment for Jason Garrett last night. You can see Jones waiting for the playcall at :37, Judge looking back at :25, and then Giants finally break huddle at :09. And a bad play call to boot.

Lol.
@NFL_DovKleiman
, who claims to be an NFL reporter despite the fact that no one has ever seen his face or read any of his work, is now warning people to beware of “fake” NFL rumor Twitter accounts.
John Mara is probably thinking “Well the fans wanted me to fire Tom Coughlin in 2006 and I held firm.” This is not spoiled mouthbreathers upset over a Wild Card loss. This is a fan base left hopeless after a decade of irrelevance. No one should be safe.
Rob Havenstein did his best Donovan Smith impression vs Maxx Crosby. The neck hook was essentially a blocking technique for him on those final 2 drives.
#LVvsLAR
Giants fans laughing at the Cowboys for mismanaging Dak Prescott's contract must not realize their team has done the same exact thing with Leonard Williams.
Giants have now lost in games when they've retired jerseys for Lawrence Taylor, Phil Simms, and Eli Manning. Maybe they retire Michael Strahan's via Zoom?
In a season where:
-Kyle Shanahan went 13-4 w/ Purdy
-Brian Daboll & Pete Carroll made the playoffs w/ below avg rosters
-Doug Pederson wiped the Urban stench off for a div title
…it seems weird to make Nick Sirianni Coach of the Year for having the best roster vs an easy sked
Jon Gruden in 2019, talking about the benefits of not paying Khalil Mack. And the 2 first round picks they got for him became RB Josh Jacobs & CB Damon Arnette.

My Mofo. So glad to have you on the team!!! Congrats on the new contract. Keep kicking butt. Want you on the pod Monday for a combine recap. 👊
“Why are the Giants signing Tyrod Taylor when they should be focused on finding out if Daniel Jones is a franchise QB?”
If Jones can’t beat out Tyrod, then you already have your answer.

People mocking Kenny Pickett

to the Panthers because of Matt Rhule/Temple, and I’m getting flashbacks to Ryan Nassib mocked Rd 1 to the Bills because of Doug Marrone/Syracuse.
The only downside to the Giants in the playoffs is forgetful national media suddenly heaping praise on Dave Gettleman despite him being the worst GM in franchise history.
I will Venmo $50 to anyone, including Dov himself, that sends me proof that
@NFL_DovKleiman
is a real NFL reporter. Photo, media credential...anything.
I love fans who share opinions on Twitter.
I hate frauds who slap “NFL” on their handles and act like an expert.
National NFL reporters whose primary focus is tweeting out news 45 seconds before their competition are not “journalists.” They are information merchants.
It’s lucrative and (in most cases) harmless. But let’s not mischaracterize what they are.
Giants WRs last season:
Collin Johnson torn ACL
Sterling Shepard torn ACL
Wan'Dale Robinson torn ACL
Kadarius Toney traded
Richie James vet min
Darius Slayton trade rumors
Isaiah Hodgins waiver pickup
Marcus Johnson practice squad
Kenny Golladay couldn't beat out any of them
@LombardiHimself
I know the reaction we're looking for here is "LOLz RaMz", but Michel was their leading, most reliable rusher in a Super Bowl title season. I don't think LA should regret this.
@Peter_Bukowski
One big thing I learned today is that the $58.3M team option window opened today, but doesn’t have to be exercised (and hit the books) until Week 1.
That’s huge.
If you factor in what they were given, David Culley did a better coaching job this season than Kevin Stefanski, Brandon Staley, Matt Rhule, and Pete Carroll.
