Boomer: Beckham is all hype

montanagiant : 3/13/2019 4:01 pm
LMAO...Not a big fan of Boomer but I find it hilarious that this is his take on the situation given how much he bags on the Giants usually:

Quote:
Enough is a freakin' nuff," Esiason said. "I don't care how good you are. It's tolerance, and it's production. His production the last two years, due in large part to injuries and because he decided to take himself out (the last four games of 2018), he is the all-hype team. This is an all-hype guy that is basically a fruitcake when it comes to being a part of a team."

Esiason said he thinks the Giants sold high on Beckham.

"They got more than the Steelers got for Antonio Brown, and they got more than the Raiders got for Amari Cooper -- and a higher draft pick, by the way," he said.

Gregg Giannotti also said he was on board with the trade but felt it came a year too late.

"As an organization, Gettleman and others didn't have the foresight to say, 'We're going to stink in 2018. We need to do this stuff now,'" Giannotti said.

OBJ was a nut and I don't have a problem trading him just how it went down and the compensation.
The same guy who's shitted on Eli his entire career.

*shrug*
Boomer's an idiot  
jcn56 : 3/13/2019 4:04 pm : link
When he thinks you did a good job, it's time to panic.

I'm deathly afraid of Haskins in this draft, and I know next to nothing about him. I'm just going on the fact that Boomer thinks it would be a mistake to pass on him.
Doing the opposite of what old talking heads  
Metnut : 3/13/2019 4:04 pm : link
like Francessa and Boomer say is often the right move. These guys are living in the past.

I think he meant it in the nutjob definition more then the other one
It was fun to flip back and forth  
bceagle05 : 3/13/2019 4:06 pm : link
between Francesa and Kay an hour ago - predictably Kay was acting like this was the end of the world, while OBJ-hating Francesa was celebrating the decision. The answer of course will be somewhere in between.
Me: Boomer was never  
mattyblue : 3/13/2019 4:06 pm : link
that good. He didn’t even have hype.
Regarding the "shoulda done this last year" sentiment  
John In CO : 3/13/2019 4:07 pm : link
If im not mistaken, wasnt Odell coming off the ankle issue at that time? I cant imagine that there would have been much of a market for a WR coming off of an injury like that.
Boomer sucks  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 3/13/2019 4:07 pm : link

comparing Odell to Cooper  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 3/13/2019 4:09 pm : link
is idiotic. Comparing him to a much older Brown isn't much better.

I'm listening to Francesa right now. Interesting how he says this was all the ownership driving this trade not DG. I agree with him

Well he was a 2nd rounder, but he was also ended up an NFL MVP
Haha  
ryanmkeane : 3/13/2019 4:11 pm : link
"all hype" I wonder what the second best start to a career for a WR in NFL history would be then..because Beckham is #1

Not really. Just basically means he's a bit zany. Which he is.
Yep... I think the old expression was

As it should. It's bigoted, it's anti-gay, and it's wrong. Be better, Boomer.

What better comp was there?

A first, a 3rd and a starting FS with 3 years of control.

No one offered better.

AB fetched a 3rd and a 5th
Yup....I’m over it  
morrison40 : 3/13/2019 5:18 pm : link
Time to move on
AB is 30 years old and became a toxic waste dump  
Ten Ton Hammer : 3/13/2019 5:19 pm : link
probably by design to get himself traded. The situations aren't a parallel.

Also, a helluva lot better then what Oakland got for Amari Cooper got

who boomer blew to continue to be permitted to talk about football.

He's never been interesting or insightful in his entire broadcasting career. It's 100 salt all the time.
How can the trade be a year too late?  
Matt M. : 3/13/2019 7:34 pm : link
A trade last year gets far less because he was in the final year of his contract.
