Annie Apple & #8207;@SurvivinAmerica 2m2 minutes ago
I am beyond excited to be joining the ESPN family and quite honestly, happier than a Kardashian in an NBA locker room. #Blessed
I could see it being strange having a rookie in the room where anything that happens can be gossip on ESPN. I feel like the first time a coach or player has to answer a question about what another players mom is saying it is already too big a distraction.
I can see her being good for the league and tv though and wish her success. I just hope she focuses on other teams and lets her son take care of his own business.
Manziel's mom a gig, now there's a shit load of potential fun with pearled wisdom as a chaser! On a side note: Upon watching the Keenan Robinson workout video, I'm asking myself, "would Manziel ever put this type of dedication into a career?" Hell, even a workout? Answer is redacted!
and I know this isn't a straight attention whore move on her part since she's been tweeting like a 14 year old girl since like 09 or 10 or whatever, but JFC she's already gotten so annoying.
Yay or nay...will Apple's mom ever show up on BBI to defend E(cb) if he has a bad game or two or three (or reg rookie growing pains)?
I'm inclined to say she will even though that's a bad idea on her part, and wow...if that happens, GETCHA POPCORN READY /t.o.
Said it a few weeks ago.. this is going to turn into a "STFU ANNY APPEL!!!!" situation very, very quickly.
And those that said it with you got killed for it. A bunch of undue pressure is going to be added to that young man
Agreed. And it was obvious from the start.
It's all fun and games till the [pre]season starts.
This woman will drive herself (and her son) crazy by being active on social media in this town.
Shit, I can even see a snarky beat writer writing an article telling her to shut up in a backhanded/roundabout way. This isn't really the city in which you should invite scrutiny onto your son, when he was considered a reach at drafttime (whether rightly or wrongly is irrelevant).
this dude's mom needs to put her twitter on private for her own sons sanity
Her tweets have consisted of NBA, Prince tributes, and maybe one pic Â
photo of her son's first day at OTA's. She seems to have a good grasp of not throwing any shade at her son's teammates or coaches. BUt yeah, she's exactly like Miko Grimes.
Didn’t say Mrs Apple was exactly like Grimes. My point was Brent Grimes is a player well known for his wife being Twitter happy. What I am saying (jokingly)…Dave…is people, would, in contemporary America with consideration to television watching, be interested in following a show based around the Mom’s of the NFL. I meant it jokingly but with what is on TV these days, who the fuck knows? It might get high ratings.
There is reason there was a spike in Mrs. Apple Twitter followers after she said what she said. People obviously care about this kind of stuff for some reason. Also, I don’t see why it’s so surprising that people are becoming irritated Mrs Apple is becoming a mini-extravaganza. All of the articles I've seen posted by Facebook pages feel the same way, "stop trying to make her become a thing" ...I believe we're the words
She was on NFL Network being interviewed because they felt she was interesting enough to say more about "what she said" prior to the interview, about the draft or her comments, whatever. I changed the channel because I obviously didn't care, I didn't throw chairs around the room and e-mail NFL Network 14 times telling them not to put her on anymore.
Some of you are looking at the wrong way. 51% of the population is female. ESPN is looking to gain viewership. The untapped portion of the population is female in the NFL. A couple percentage points gains advertising revenue from female products.
Also, why the "hate?" Yeah so he's a momma's boy. So Annie is outgoing. If she turns out to be a Miko Grimes that is one thing. I doubt that is even a remote possibility. With all the dysfunctional families in the world, people are pissing and moaning about a stable and loving one.

You might be right but in truth, that would be coincidence. Everything has been different, right? College, her son has always been a star, never struggled, relatively (compared to NYC) low-key and podunk place, few distractions, fewer challenges, logarithmically less media scrutiny and strong commentary...
She can do what she wants and I'm not criticizing her (nor am I as starry-eyed as you), but if I were to offer her advice, I would say that she should keep on building up her own brand and have it in writing that her commenting or responding to comments about her son and the Giants would be completely off-limits. That would insulate both she and Eli. Plenty of other fluff to talk about on ESPN.
I certainly don't resent her or think she's a bad person nor do I think she has bad intentions. I just don't see this going well when games start being played because I can't see her being able to refrain from commenting on criticism of Eli or firing back.
He's going to inevitably have some growing pains and rookie struggles and articles will be written about how perhaps he was a bad pick, etc. Pretty hard for me to see Mrs. Apple not getting into Twitter wars with the people who write them.
It's just one of those things.. you can kind of see where it's going long before it gets there.
and now an ESPN employee *because* of her son, but if you think about it, if she was a personality first (e.g.; if she was Len Berman) and her son got drafted as a football player, then nobody would be giving her being an on-air type a second thought.
or did this woman all of a sudden jump on the fact her son was drafted and try to ride the gravy train. I have heard way too much from her and barely anything from her son. It is one thing when Campbell's soup says to a player we have an idea, get your mom to do a commercial with you. It is another to be self-promoting. And if this kid doesn't play well is ESPN going to keep her? I say no.
I'm merely trying to understand your uber Annie Apple fan status. You're following a football player's mom. On twitter.
Here's a thought, now read slowly because otherwise you'll just wait to count the words and have your canned whiny response ready. Maybe, now slow down...think MAYBE someone likes her sense of humor? Maybe someone enjoys her wit. Clearly you don't, and you are this disturbed that a human being with ambition has landed a job and that people like her on Twitter? You don't have to like it, but given your supremely odious handle don't you have the mental capacity to understand different taste? She's not for you, ok we get that. Others like her, can you comprehend that? Is that not part of you MO? Are you just by nature a whiny grumpy contrarian who loves to needle people for an opinion you don't share? Some people like tacos, and some people don't. Can you actually believe that there are multiple sides to an opinion on a topic? It's shocking, I realize that. But when you go back into your dim candle lit room and slip on your half glasses to read Crime and Punishment while you bemoan modern everything you will still hate the internets and Eli Apple's mom but maybe ponder that others may not?
Unless it somehow results in Apple's play declining, IDGAS Â
I mean, unless he's missing practices to drive her to the studio or skipping film review to help her prep for a show, I can't imagine what this really means as far as his production is concerned.
makes me think you don't know anything about miko grimes.
Miko Grimes picked fights with cops and threw f-bombs and n-words at team ownership. It's not the same thing and you'd be outing yourself as a moron to compare them.

This....
Unless he turns into the second coming of Revis right out the gate I don't see this ending well.

Thanks for posting that.
Some people here think Joey's lost his fastball. I don't.
They often say, "How does that asshole continue to post here after his imbecilic rantings and ravings on draft nights?" They snicker and giggle when you angrily shake your fist in the air and proclaim yourself to be at the zenith of football knowledge. I don't.
Certainly, "big-name" talent evaluators like Ron Wolf and Gil Brandt have never thought to consider "calf-fatness" when projecting a prospect's success at the next level. If they have, I haven't read it. I doubt they've ever worked as hard as you have in breaking down game film, assessing a given prospect's strengths and weaknesses and then providing said detailed analysis so consisely as you did here Eli Apple

Fuck me. Awful pick
I doubt Ozzie Newsome or Bill Polian ever had as firm a grasp on draft value and schemes as you'be done here:

He's not physical enough to play safety. So we have no #2 WR, no RT, no RG, zero LBs who can play and no FS but by all means take a slot corner because DRC makes someone sad. Fucking awful
Y'know, if there's one person on this board that can type a thousand words to make a point like "different strokes for different folks", you're the man for the job. Equally as impressive, was your ability to deadpan while offering the following:

I'm sorry, no one else may opine, I keep forgetting the rules of the cowards and the morons that no one may speak ill of anything Giants. Idiot.
There's no way cowards and morons like Bill Walsh, George Halas or Art Rooney Jr. ever stood on their principles, no matter the thickness, as you have. Those dickwads probably always caved to concensus. No supreme they've been total abject failures and you are who you are.
If you gain some nugget of perspective from Annie Apple's tweets, more power to you. If you're entertained by her sass, I'm overjoyed. From the tweets I've seen attributed to her that have been posted here, I see a "personality" who's griped about loose women contacting football players, the NFL's spread of donuts at the draft, and some glib remark about the Kardasians. I found neither to be informative, unique or amusing. Shoot me.
THIS ^^^ Doesn't surprise me a bit. A pretty negative group
