trade him. AP beats his kid, sign him.

So weird.


Though, I do get the sentiment here. People paid good money for the VIP package to see him. He deserves criticism if he just disregarded the event, all I'm saying is let's wait to see what the reason is.

Not anyone here. Possibly the fans he screwed out of their money, though..



according to the flyer fans had to pay for a vip package and it sounds like they would get their aitograph in the mail..

sounds like the only thing he skipped the was the q and a with francesa..


I hope that's true, but I don't know. They were expecting to see him there, I'm pretty sure..

thats the case he should at least notify the organizers or have the Giants do it.

I agree, but i'd still like to see what the reason was and whether they get their money back.

Still, whatever this guy does short of being a Eagle Scout results in Eric having to wear riot gear.

go to Odell and Landon's charities, too.
On one hand it's pretty crappy to skip something like that  
j_rud : 3/20/2017 2:36 pm : link
On the other hand, paying that much money to shake some dudes hand and get his autograph is...what's the word...weird and sad? Yeah, kinda weird and sorta sad.

There are no winners here. Just losers. Petulant athlete or creepy collector man-child, losers one and all.

Agree. You can't be the least bit critical of anyone under Giants' contract here, though. It's weird...and creepy. And this coming from someone who defended Beckham all through out the on field stuff, including the Norman stuff (and I will continue to).
i am not going to believe anything that comes out of francesas mouth  
nygiants16 : 3/20/2017 2:43 pm : link
when it comes to beckham, this is the same guy that said beclham was probably faking when he got hurt against baltimore and came back in the game..

a caller said you have to give beckham credit for playing hurt, francesa responded saying he was not hurt
What is there to believe?

I hope you're right.

Subjectively I hope he has a huge year in 2017 and Reese has the good sense to make a Herschel Walker trade to set up the post-Eli era.

He's done this numerous times, no showing for things he got paid to do already. This has nothing to do with Francesa, he deserves to be ripped for it.

Being critical without facts, especially when trying to judge someone's character, is a character flaw. This thread has given us "trade him" and "he needs mental help" all while not knowing anything other than what a disgruntled radio show host says.

To think the Giants will be better off without this guy, he simply is all about himself and nothing else, and that is a cancer. Go get another wideout in this draft, another next season and fuck this choker.

there is clearly a pattern here with him. I hope it improves and he grows up some, but I'm not holding my breath.

his teammates would disagree with you, all of whom say he is one of the hardest workers on the team...

how is he a choker? because he had a bad game in the playoffs?

I guess the kids are into it and that's fine to a point. But for adults to get all upset about this kind of stuff strikes me as weird. No offense, but I just don't get it. At all.

Last year, Chris Mullen was at a Mets game, sitting two rows in front of me. There were people (adults and kids) walking up to him and shook his hands and took selfies with him. Another guy who sat behind him took a cellphone picture of the back of his head.

I just don't understand people.

Yeah, great I guess. I just don't get it. They're just people who play a game yet I see grown men clamor for a second or two of their time or an illegible signature. It's weird.

I'm not talking about the 1 or 2 posts like that. I'm talking about the people who never say anything even resembling constructive criticism about Giants' employees. There are more of them and they are cringe-worthy, as well.

That's me sometimes and its because I find myself as a fan having only the information the media gives me and using that to flame away at a personnel decision or any other scenario seems like a waste of time.
I'm a fan, too.
