These guys are so fucking obnoxious with their bullshit.
My man hasn’t played since before Halloween and is still 5th in the league in rushing.
That should tell you all you need to know about the rest of the league.

These New York Giants go to such extreme, such ridiculous lengths to smack their own fans across the face that, honestly, it’s almost impressive.
As if David Gettleman’s slipshod roster-building wasn’t enough, the Giants announced that last Sunday would be “Fan Appreciation Day” at MetLife Stadium. And what would fans receive as a gesture of goodwill for, week-in and week-out, subjecting themselves to such horror? Not an autograph. Not a hat. Not even a damn beer. No, the Giants promised season-ticket holders one free soda.
A medium soda, that is. Can’t be too charitable this holiday season.
It’s unclear whether or not John Mara was kidnapped by Cousin Eddie, but the announcement was swiftly (and hilariously) condemned by fans and legends past alike. Lawrence Tynes, who once kicked this team into the Super Bowl, supplied the best burn. And the rollout of this “promotion” was somehow even worse. On site, fans who braved this 21-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys were told only one soda for one PSL could be redeemed.
Any season-ticket holders on-hand with a wife, a friend, a son were supplied exactly one medium soda.
No wonder one ex-scout for the Giants thinks the only way things will ever change is if fans flatly refuse to show up.
“If John Mara looks up and sees 50,000 no-shows on Sunday,” he says, “that will resonate because the product isn’t good.”
For the ninth time in 10 years, the Giants will fail to make the playoffs. For the fifth year in a row, they’ll likely finish with six wins or less. There is not one moment we can all point to as the harpoon to the chest. Rather, this franchise has more so endured a slow bleedout, spiraling one direction and one direction only through a calamitous series of errors. Bad only turns to worse. Right now, the Giants are in the throes of their worst stretch of football since the early 1970s.
To piece together how they reached rock bottom, Go Long spoke with several people who’ve been in Dave Gettleman’s front office the last four years.
What a funhouse. Year to year. Try not to spit up that Pepsi.
Once the dust settles, this could go down as one of the worst stretches for an NFL general manager in the modern era.
As one former front-office member in New York put, every decision Gettleman has made seems to be “completely out of left field.”
“Take a running back at No. 2. OK. Now, we’re going to take a quarterback nobody else wants. Now, we’re going to sign a left tackle to billions of dollars that nobody else would’ve paid. It’s every decision. It wasn’t, OK, this makes sense in a vacuum. It was always, ‘What!? What are they doing?’
Most decisions you can justify. It’s the continual pattern of swinging for the fences. The stuff no one else would do. And he keeps stacking it.”
Asked when exactly this ship started to sink, another ex-scout takes a deep breath and chuckles.
“Where do you begin?”
It’s not pretty. But until the Giants undergo serious self-reflection, chances are, they’ll make the same mistakes again. And again.
The Model Franchise
Right on the general manager’s desk is a sign for all to read. The ex-scouts cannot help but laugh at the irony. Any time anyone speaks with Dave Gettleman, these are the words that greet you first. It was their understanding that Gettleman wanted this message at the forefront of everyone’s minds as they scout and draft and sign new players.
Assholes need not apply.
“But guess who’s the biggest A-hole in the room?” this scout says. “It’s the guy saying he doesn’t want them guys.”

The Autopsy, Part II: Bad turns to worse
Dave Gettleman's time is up. In Part II, we examine the Daniel Jones pick in 2019, everything that went down in 2020 and... what's next. Those who witnessed the wreckage firsthand speak freely inside.
Miss Part I? Catch up right here.
Into Year 2 of his tenure as general manager, it was time for Dave Gettleman to make his move at quarterback. As a franchise, the New York Giants were finally open to life post-Eli Manning.
Daniel Jones has supplied moments of hope but are the Giants, again, trying to see something that isn’t there?
In Part II below you’ll learn…

The QB decision
Exactly one year after describing Saquon Barkley as an Earl Campbell-Barry Sanders-Jesus Christ hybrid, there was the general manager praising his new franchise quarterback.
With the sixth overall selection in the 2019 draft, Dave Gettleman shocked the football world by drafting a quarterback out of Duke University.
He got his guy: Daniel Jones.
Back to the press conference table he went. With head coach Pat Shurmur again at his side, Gettleman opened by calling Jones “just perfect” for the New York Giants. He said Jones had “the right head” and that the Giants had him graded “on the same line” as Kentucky pass rusher Josh Allen. Then, when asked when he knew Jones was his quarterback, Gettleman puckered up and assured it was early. He loved Jones on tape and then truly fell for him at the Senior Bowl.
Which. Wait. What?
As he told the story, Gettleman clasped his fingers, twiddled his thumbs and cracked a smile.
“He walked out there and I saw a professional quarterback after the three series that I watched,” Gettleman said. “That’s when I was in full-bloom love.”
“That’s quite a visual,” Shurmur added, awkwardly.
Anyone’s performance in the Senior Bowl Game is usually a minuscule part of the draft evaluation. Most NFL personnel leave Mobile, Ala., before the game is even played. So, Gettleman was essentially struck by Cupid’s arrow on a first date… at a hole-in-the-wall bar… with something between his teeth… and the music so loud he could barely hear his future wife speak.
Most observers were surprised to hear the general manager go on and on about Jones and, frankly, so was his own personnel staff. Throughout the lead-up to the draft, the Giants’ college scouts had zero clue what Gettleman thought of Jones. The inner circle running the team wanted to keep their opinions close to the vest so the scouts — the same ones who should’ve been heard one year prior — had no clue Gettleman was in “full-bloom love.”
“Dave never said anything,” said one scout. “I was wondering, ‘What he’s feeling? What he’s thinking?’”
A GM triple-padlocking such intel isn’t a novel concept. Paranoia runs high in the silly season that is the NFL Draft. Last spring, no scouts and no coaches on staff had a clue Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch were drafting Trey Lance No. 3 overall. What made this strange, however, was that Gettleman typically rambled on and on about draft prospects. He’s a man with stories to tell. And on Jones? Mum was the word. Never mind the fact that this was a decision bound to affect the livelihoods of everyone in the building. Dissenting opinions should be heard. Heated debate should be had. Daniel Jones’ game should be dissected like a frog in ninth grade biology class with anything the GM says about the quarterback robustly challenged.
The Giants whipped around the room, everyone said their piece and Gettleman was vaguer than vague.
“Dave was like, ‘I’m still doing some work. I’m still working on him. But I’m listening to all you guys. I hear what you’re saying but I’m still doing work,’” one ex-scout recalls. “It stayed like that. I was like, ‘Man! I wonder what he feels.’ I never got to hear that until he talked after we picked him.
“Generally, it’s always an inclusive process. That was one where, ‘I’ll keep this one to the vest, until the time comes.’”
The choice was between Jones and Allen, who the Jacksonville Jaguars took one pick later.
Obviously, there’s still time for Jones to turn a corner. This week, the team decided to shut him down for the season with his sprained neck and head coach Joe Judge swiftly assured “Daniel’s our quarterback.” Whoever takes over as GM could talk himself into Jones, too, because there are traits to love. He statistically threw the best deep ball in 2020. On passes of at least 20 yards, Jones was 19-of-39 for 636 yards with five scores, no picks and a 134.4 passer rating. He was the fastest quarterback in the NFL, too. On his 80-yard epic, Jones’ clocked in at 21.23 MPH, per Next Gen Stats.
Like Manning, he was coached by David Cutcliffe in college. Like Manning, he exuded a cool, but steely demeanor.
Then again, injuries and turnovers have defined Jones’ career to date and it’s also fair to wonder if there’s even a switch for him to flip. This is a quarterback who was hardly recruited out of high school. Rivals didn’t even assign a number of stars to him. Jones originally committed to Princeton University before walking on at Duke where he was, eh, OK. In his three seasons, Jones fumbled 19 times (losing 13). And his final season, he threw for 2,674 yards with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
As a rookie, in 13 games, Jones then had 19 fumbles. The fifth-most for any NFL player all-time.
Injuries added up. He kept fumbling. He’s 12-25 as a starter.
“What are we waiting for?” one former NFC personnel exec said. “Kyler Murray struggles but, OK, Kyler Murray’s been great his whole life. He’ll get back to being great. There’s nothing to say with Daniel. You’re hoping he gets to something he’s never been before in his life. How many times are you going to watch this guy historically turn the ball over? This is not run of the mill stuff he’s doing. He’s historic in the number of times he turns the ball over. And lack of scoring. And losses.
“If David Cutcliffe is such a great coach, why does the guy stink? If he’s had the best coaching, why is he still bad? It was whole ‘Looks like Eli,’ the demeanor, all that. Again, Eli is the gift that keeps on giving. Now, we got rid of the guy but we want to get a guy who looks just like him to hold onto.
“The ghost haunts them still to this day.”

What a funhouse. Year to year. Try not to spit up that Pepsi.
- 2017. Enduring faith in Eli Manning blinds New York from taking Mahomes-sized swings at an heir apparent.
- 2018. Instead of building the roster with Quenton Nelson and Nick Chubb — two future All-Pros that scouts on staff loved — Gettleman opts for Saquon Barkley and Will Hernandez.
- 2019. The Giants love Justin Herbert but, with Herbert staying in school, make Daniel Jones the pick at No. 6 overall. Not that scouts on staff had a clue what Gettleman ever thought of Jones.
- 2020. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett pushes hard for tackle Andrew Thomas at No. 4 overall.
- 2021. The Giants gift-wrap linebacker Micah Parsons to Dallas and Mac Jones to New England. (Yes, there was a coach on staff who really liked the Alabama quarterback.)
Once the dust settles, this could go down as one of the worst stretches for an NFL general manager in the modern era.
As one former front-office member in New York put, every decision Gettleman has made seems to be “completely out of left field.”
“Take a running back at No. 2. OK. Now, we’re going to take a quarterback nobody else wants. Now, we’re going to sign a left tackle to billions of dollars that nobody else would’ve paid. It’s every decision. It wasn’t, OK, this makes sense in a vacuum. It was always, ‘What!? What are they doing?’

In Part II below you’ll learn…
- …how the Giants arrived at this selection in 2019, and why the GM’s “full-bloom love” took scouts by surprise.
- …why they had no business taking cornerback Deandre Baker that same year.
- …once upon a time, Justin Herbert was the apple of the Giants’ eye. The team’s timing on Justin Herbert was brutal.
- …why the team drafted Andrew Thomas in that loaded 2020 draft class at offensive tackle. (Hint: Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett loved him.) Obviously, there’s still hope for Thomas.
- … how the voices of scouts were minimized, year to year, under Gettleman. What used to always be an inclusive process took a turn in that Covid draft.
- … what happens next? With a few signings, the Giants went all-in this season. It hasn’t pan out. Now, it sounds like owner John Mara will promote a trusted figure again.

Where was Chase Claypool at end of Titans game? Source points to possible discipline
One week after being widely criticized for his senseless late-game behavior in Minnesota — even by former Steelers great Joe Greene — receiver Chase Claypool apparently fell into more disfavor with the coaching staff against the Tennessee Titans.
Claypool did not have a catch against the Titans and rarely played when the Steelers were mounting a comeback in the fourth quarter. He was replaced by Ray-Ray McCloud, who ended up playing more snaps (33) than Claypool (31) in Sunday’s 19-13 victory.
Coach Mike Tomlin did not list Claypool as having an injury — not after the game or during his weekly Tuesday press conference — that might have prevented the second-year receiver from playing.
According to a team source, Claypool appeared to get into an argument with one of the assistant coaches on the sideline that could have led to him remaining on the bench in the fourth quarter.
Claypool was targeted just twice in the game and only touched the ball on two designed running plays that gained 20 yards.
In Minnesota, Claypool received a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness after a sideline catch in the first quarter, stalling a drive. But his most egregious incident came when he wasted time after a fourth-down catch in the final minute because he knelt on one knee to pose for a first-down signal.
Later in the week, Claypool posted an apology on his Instagram account in which he said, “I will learn from my shortcomings.”
Fellas. That nigga gotta fuckin go!!!! Steelers need to trade him for a 3rd or 4th round pick in the offseason. Something is wrong with this nigga. Enough of the bullshit. He's too immature to be relied on.
