Any one else hear DG talking about cornerbacks. This thought I would give someone a laugh. His accent is absurd.
Geez, we dig deep

on the topic of DG.
Never heard this before  
Tuckrule : 5/4/2021 8:49 am : link
Thanks. He’s been the GM for 4 years this is the first I’ve heard of his accent.
You apparently have never lived in Boston  
blueblood : 5/4/2021 8:57 am : link
I heard his accent every day for years.
I Honestly Think That This is ONE of the Reasons...

that some BBIers hate DG.

I think many of us NY fans (especially Yankee fans who grew up hating the Red Sox) have a negative reaction to a Boston accent, either on a conscious or a subconscious level.

Combine DG's accent with his dissmissive attitude and I think that tends to put some people off.

I haven't been a DG supporter, mostly because of the teams's poor record during his time as GM. But I do wonder if I've been completely objective or whether I let other stuff influence my opinion of DG's performance.

The Giants have certainly had a great off season (FA signings and draft) and they've added extra draft picks for next year. One has to acknowledge that DG had a big hand in all that and give him some credit.

Exactly well said. This is how I feel as well.

BBWreckingCrew : 5/4/2021 9:43 am : link
was just poking innocent fun. Go big blue!!!!
Good thing some of us don't tawk on here but type and read  
Blue21 : 5/4/2021 9:47 am : link
seeing how there are quite a few on BBI that R from Massachusetts.
In comntrast, the Brooklyn and NJ accents are highly melodical

Good.  
David B. : 5/4/2021 10:27 am : link
You have to figure that at least 3 of them are hurt at any given time.
I grow up in maine, lived in boston and now NH  
rasbutant : 5/4/2021 10:56 am : link
and i say it like, Corn-na-back.
?
The only thing worse  
PwndPapi : 5/4/2021 11:02 am : link
than a Boston accent is a Long Island accent.
Anyone ever call a snowbank  
rasbutant : 5/4/2021 11:04 am : link
a snowbanking? I'm referring to the mound of snow alongside the road from the snow plow.

I just learned that I say that, never realized it, and the family and friends I've asked in Maine say it as well, but not the Mass friends.
The worst ones for me are deep cajuns and Baltimoreons.  
Bill L : 5/4/2021 11:58 am : link
I get the cajun, but how people in an east coast major city cannot speak intelligible English is mind-boggling.
I..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 5/4/2021 12:00 pm : link
bet he pahks his cahr in a garage too!
I grew up in NJ  
EmusNYG : 5/4/2021 12:09 pm : link
and somehow developed a light Boston accent. Sometimes when I'm rambling I start slip into it. I moved down south though when I was younger, so I kinda have a more southern vocabulary, so it sounds really weird sometimes.
I'll play  
DaveW2 : 5/4/2021 12:47 pm : link
I wonder if Bostonians would say "Khakis" or even "car keys"  
Bill L : 5/4/2021 1:01 pm : link
but couple it with a picture of a single key?

Also he's a smug boob coupled with the fact that he gets nothing done.

Except bring in our head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, QB, Barkley, Thomas, Gates, Lemieux, Peart, Jackson, McKinney, Martinez, Bradberry, Ryan, Lawrence, Williams, Toney, Ojulari, Slayton, Golloday, Rudolph, and a 1st, 3rd and 4th round pick in 2022.

Yawn.

2018: 5-11
2019: 4-12
2020: 6-10

All that is adorable if you want to pretend you are proving a point but I petition you to call me on the phone once they actually start winning under David gettleman.

Unless you're a part of the "excuse culture" that runs wild here, do not waste my flipping time.
Yes..

She's a spicy 24 year old redhead who wears leather and is already the floor manager of an Amazon in New Jersey. I forget her name though. I get mixed up.
We should fire DG
