Chris asked Mike about Gary Myers Article referencing Shurmur's pitfalls in Cleveland.
Mike's response "First off I'll never talk to Gary Meyers again as long as I live" Alluding to the fact that he grossly mis quoted him. He clarified what he meant by saying Shurmur is all about business and just needed to lightening up and joke around with the guys a bit. This was Coughlin's knock as well midway through his tenure before he dropped an "I love you" on the players.
Myers is a turd.
Just when you think the Daily News can't get any lower...
You've got to be kidding me.
Crap... he's probably a small enough man to do that. Myers hounded Coughlin like that.
Don't forget to add Pat Leonard to make this a holy trinity of crap journalists.
Do you think Leonard and Myers will ever acknowledge they were dead wrong on the Patricia hiring?
"All signs point to...." ...bull$h*t!
I was going to say this comes on the heels of Beningo destroying Mehta on the air about his reporting.
Myers went after Coughlin with a vendetta and lost in the end. He's the worst.

Funny because he and pat both said Patricia wanted the giants..
No because he never was. He wrote essays on whatever hot topic was around. Just like you saw him come out of the woodworks and start writing Yankee stories when they made their run. He's a total asshole.
I couldn't believe Roberts didn't call him out for the Belichick articles. That interview was embarassing- Myers is a complete clown. "I'm close with Tom Brady. I stopped to speak with him alone after the game for 5-10 minutes." There is no chance Brady gave Myers 10 mins alone....
No kidding. Ask Roger Maris about Dick Young as well. Young was a vicious SOB with an agenda, the Walter Winchell of sports columnists.
Serby shows up on NBC or local FOX's Sunday night sports wrap up shows once in awhile and he comes across as one of those guys who thinks they're way funnier than they really are. Also the last time he had his cell phone on his knee while doing his live discussion and it looked rather unprofessional like he was so important that even if he's on TV he has to have it ready to look at or take a call or text or whatever. One of the other times he had on a Halloween mask or something douchey and started throwing the candy in the bowl on the table in front of him at Duke Castiglione. LOLZ what a character this guy is!
Young was not honest. He was a thug with a typewriter. He hammered Roger Maris mercilessly when Maris was approaching Ruth's home run record.
Why would someone like Holmgren talk to an NFL columnist for a major daily newspaper and expect comments not to be published? Did he speak to Myers on background? People bitch about being misquoted or statements taken out of context, yada, yada all the time but Holmgren's reaction -- what he said and where he said it -- is really unusual. I'd bet either Holmgren told Myers something off the record and Myers ran with it, or more likely, Myers twisted his comments to fit his own narrative.
And given his place in the smaller NYC sports world of the time, much more offensive than Myers who is just a very low rent creep
We can't. He's dead!

He was, indeed, a racist. He also hated "hippies," "commies," "liberals," the Kennedys, and Bella Abzug, not necessarily in that order.
It didn't really put him on the spot. I have no idea what people are taking offense to regarding what he said. If you read the article it's clear that he and Shurmur are on good terms, they recently spoke, and Holmgren gave an honest assessment of his previous coaching run. He wasn't ripping the guy at all.

They take getting lower as a challenge.
