Found it interesting that D-lineman B.J. Hill (third-round pick) hadn't heard or spoken to any defensive veterans yet. Leadership was a problem last year on that defense. #Giants

Snacks responds:
@snacks
You’re reaching Jordan. Keep it up though...just stay away from me

Ereck Flowers hits a reporter and nothing happens but Snacks asks a guy to leave him alone and he gets this kind of backlash?
Good lord some of you people suck.
Where did I say fireable? Geez, you like to make shit up i see.

thanks for looking into my credentials. And what you are referencing isn’t close to something that’s “fireable”. Asking a reporter to leave you alone for making up stories is literally what you are up in arms over. Let that sink in for a second.

The funny thing is, it was the SAME “reporter”, wasn’t it? Huh
Haha, yeah that’s correct. Like I said much earlier in this thread, Ranaan’s got some thinking to do. Does he really want to be blackballed by the entire Giants locker room? Manish Mehta in waiting.

You literally posted about companies firing just minutes ago. Can’t keep up with your own bullshit, can you?

Guys like Jordan continue to poke, poke, poke and if a player responds, he gets killed. Why? It’s about damn time these players start responding. At what point do we hold Jordan accountable for being a professional? This isn’t an isolated incident. Jordan’s been stirring the pot for awhile now and I think it’s naive to just say “eh, you can’t win against the media”, or “he sounds like a child” if he responds. These guys are human.
At what point is the supposed professional in the media supposed to act like a professional? You guys chalking shit like this up to, oh well, he’s just doing his job, are a huge part of the problem
The media will respond when we - the fans - let the writer's employer know we won't read him any more because of the nature of this reporting. That's going to carry a hell of a lot more weight than anything a player says.
Especially when the player doesn't even address the issue. The story implied some lineman should have called and didn't. If Snacks has a problem with that, then say so. But just giving the finger to the media is acting like a little boy (and, again, tells me that he didn't have a good answer to the story because, if he did, why doesn't he tell us that good answer?)
He didn’t address the issue? WHAT issue? Can Jordan provide us the numbers of how many players call mid round picks across the NFL? Does he know? Does every single mid rounder receive a call? If not, what’s the percentage? If he’s going to run his mouth he should at least have some data, correct?

I didn't say Snacks should be fired. Never even implied it. You are full of bullshit.
Hey Googs!
You spelled Yankees wrong
I’m done here, you aren’t worth my time. Enjoy getting pissed at a tweet, I hope you feel vindicated.
Life is good for the bombers...

I am not sticking up for the reporter. I am, however, saying that being a professional involves acting like a professional. I think Snacks is the best run stopping DT in the league. I've never read anything about him that I didn't like.
And his response here isn't a big deal. But - he is acting like a little boy. The media get public people riled up all the time. That's what the media do. And public figures usually have enough self control to act like an adult and ignore it.
Snacks didn't. I think it was dumb of him to do. And I suspect Mara would have preferred he not engage in a publc pissing contest with the press. Mara probably won't say anything. But I promise you - if he continues pissing into the wind at the media, Mara will say something to him.
And, for those that think he is allowed to engage in a pissing contest with the media, I got news for you - not if it is about his role on the NY Giants he doesn't. I mean, he legally can say whatever he wants. The constitution guarantees him that. But if Mara tells him to stop - and he didn't listen to Mara - I promise you that his contract almost certainly has multiple clauses regarding "conduct unbecoming" blah blah blah
None of that is going to happen. This is all a big deal about nothing.
Made that way by Snacks - who should have acted like an adult and moved on.
Meanwhile, Snacks, I got a question for ya ... did you happen to call and welcome the newly drafted D lineman to the team and wish him luck? Just wondering...
And stop mixing up issues that have no relationship. Some may not be happy with some of Snacks moves/comments lately but not sure that should be related to this at all.
Giants may need leadership but to throw it on his doorstep seems disingenuous...I could type several veteran NY Giant names in his place that could step up themselves.
