I’m not one to criticize the sports media and I get the Giants have been bad, but Kevin Clark is relentless in his bashing of the Giants. Everything they do is wrong. Even taking a shot at Eli in today’s episode.
What ultimately led me to post this was the criticism of adding Jason Garrett & Freddie Kitchens to the staff. He said, paraphrasing, “what does it say about the Giants that they hired two failed HC’s to their staff?”
The early 30’s aged NFL reporter seems to have a personal vendetta against the Giants to the point where I can’t even listen to the podcast because there’s such a bias against them. I know they’ve been bad & I don’t expect pom poms, but when you are going to continue to praise the Cardinals & Browns, I can’t take him seriously.
Anyone else listen and have the same take away?
I don’t disagree, but I lose them when the Browns are praised for all their talent & the Cardinals are praised. That’s a bit much.
Good for Simmons for being able to sell to Spotify for the crazy amount of money that he did, but The Ringer sucks.
And pointing out the obvious in emphasizing the value of having HC experience on a staff with a young HC w/o any.
Mays is a bit better, but can also be a douche from time to time. I agree that they love bashing the Giants any chance they get. As with every other media member, they are still an easy target until they start winning.
They were touting the Browns as the next best offense in the NFL before the start of the season and anyone with half a brain knew that their offensive line issues would probably come back to bite them. When they were proven wrong, they mostly just stopped talking about the Browns and were simply befuddled why it didn't work out.
Oh, and they also conveniently blamed it all on Kitchens, nevermind blaming Dorsey who they praised to no end prior to the season. So, it's no surprise that they are hating on the Giants for signing him as a coach. They often don't use common sense and realize that if you are a failed head coach, it doenn't mean you are a bad position coach, but they play to the crowd and loved piling on. A common theme for people now and days since Twitter has come around.
What kind of dumb comment is that? Jason Garrett was 18 games over 500 for his career, while I did not want him as our head coach, he is not by any means failed. He’s actually quite successful.
Also, usually these guys were named head coaches because of a track record of success as a coordinator or position coach.
So what does it say about the Giants? It says that the brought in experienced guys who have had success at some point in their career.
What a clown.
I don't mind The Ringer by & large. I could listen to Simmons & Russillo all day. They really mesh together. If you haven't, take a listen to Rusillo talk about his 2002 year. Classic.
I like KOC & Vernon on NBA too.
