Interesting take...

very reasonable and what Giants fans should be hoping to hear.

One thing she doesn't mention though is how OBJ seems to fuel the rumors a bit on Twitter. It's almost as though he would prefer the rumors continue, which in a way makes sense since they talk about him anyway. Isn't it better that they talk about how all these teams would love to have him? Or maybe it's just his way of having fun - trolling everyone on Twitter?
She’s the best

The lead in to her segment  
John In CO : 3/12/2019 6:56 pm : link
had me screaming at my television set. Yes I did actually scream at the television!:)

NFL Network made a montage of EVERY negative thing that Beckham has ever done in his career, backed that up with a quote from his interview last year. This leads to the host of the show throwing it to Kim Jones with this statement

"is there anyone out there still interested in him"?

That is why she had to lead with the assurance that yes, there are certainly teams that would be interested in his services, even with his HORRIBLE track record! This after the network has been fawning all over Antonio Brown-who obviously has never done ANYTHING wrong and is the greatest WR of all time -for the past two days and how great an add he is for the Raiders.

Btwn this and Marc Ross, a good day for venting at the television while trying to actually get some work done:)
Social media presence benefits players in various ways.

LeBron James could have saved the world a lot of trouble if he flatly denied or commented on rumors about his future. He never did. Because being at the center of the conversation pays dividends.

It's not on the player to quash rumors. Gettleman himself did everything he could to deny all of this, and it doesn't do any good either. Fans just lust for talking about transactions.
This can't be.

I read on here from Cunty Chris that the Giants want to trade him.
I'd marry Kim tomorrow.

Great post Eric.

Not just what Kim states flat out, but also how she knocks many of her peers with the A-Rod comp, and the OBJ highlights in the background, and Carl Banks' response calling out Marc Ross BIGTIME...

Fun post.

What’s he done on twitter? Posted a couple of eyeball emojis that led to people with nothing better to do than speculate?
The best take....

these media nobodies and wannabes that crap out baseless runors every day are a joke...
This should be pinned.

The NFL Network doesn’t deserve Kim Jones.
Not to say shes wrong and I agree with her 100%  
O Butter Giants 2019 : 3/12/2019 7:31 pm : link
but who are the reporters using fake Odell trade news as a way to get likes on social media outlets?

Reporters have a vested interest in growing their social media presence and following. It furthers their careers. Guys like Adam Schefter became go-to names in sports media
from humble beginnings by becoming regarded as trusted and accurate and the guy that everyone follows for news.

Throw enough rumors out there, some of them will come back right, and claiming that you broke a story first raises your profile.

Everyone last week who posted about the Browns trading for him.

The writer today who faked a text message saying the offer was 17, a second and Ogbah.
So, this hasn't aged well
