Has it been confirmed whether or not the "stealing food" story is true?

A stab in the dark. Didn't really cost us, but could've added a playmaker or trade piece if it worked out.

Heard Mark Malusis on WFAN earlier state he heard from a source the food stealing story was absolutely not true

Who knows...IMO it's more likely he arrived to find out he would be starting on the scout team, and didn't like it. Judge and DG have shown they won't tolerate me-first guys, so they made a quick decision about him

Seek confirmation/rebuttal as you deem necessary.


The food story was fake  
Larry in Pencilvania : 7/28/2021 4:55 pm : link
It was reported by a fake media account and someone in the media fell for it and reported as a possible reason. Nothing to see

I heard he's also been practicing is accuracy by dropping chainsaws from elevated positions.

It would seem to me that anyone in the media who piggybacked on that should be penalized in some way no? I mean, being a journalist should mean you don't jump on something from any Tom, Dick or Harry with a twitter handle.
food story was deleted because it wasn't properly sourced

Yup. It's certainly not a good look for any beats that parroted this clowns fake account. I also think Twitter should flag these dumb parody accounts. Misinformation spreads very quickly. They can take the time to "verify" people...why not flag accounts that are trolls but obviously some people find funny (I guess)

I agree with this in principle. There is little accountability for doing something dumb like that. I've seen it in my own organization. But here's a reason (not an excuse): There is ENORMOUS pressure now to be first. Not to be best, not to be most accurate, but to be first. So if a web reporter sees that online and spends, oh, 30 seconds checking out the source, and the source seems ok in that cursory look, they are likely to go with it. They shouldn't, but they do. Again, not an excuse, just an explanation.

He was late to report this morning, had to return some video tapes.

I think the case was in the hands of Inspector Clouseau.

Boo. I made a funny joke on that thread and can’t remember it now.
2nd time you get a story like this  
ghost718 : 7/28/2021 5:55 pm : link
surrounding unusual Giant events

Colombo gets fired,and supposedly the Rocky Theme Music is next on the playlist.

Now Benjamin gets cut in front of everyone, and it turns out he really wants to be a restaurant entrepreneur.

This tweet makes me wish

Dumb move to start with  
Mark from Jersey : 7/28/2021 6:42 pm : link
Guy couldn’t even make it through one practice. Based on reports of him I. Buffalo I have no idea why they even considered a try out. I know he and DG have history but man guy had a ton of red flags.

nothing wrong with try-outs dude.
Why was it a dumb move?  
UConn4523 : 7/28/2021 7:07 pm : link
it had no impact on the team whatsoever
To me  
Mark from Jersey : 7/28/2021 7:32 pm : link
This was inevitable given his history thus my feeling it was dumb. I hear you just a tryout low risk/no risk just a waste of time.
Yes, it was a dumb move. Obviously just a favor granted by DG  
Jimmy Googs : 7/28/2021 8:24 pm : link
to one of his former players that was going nowhere.

It could have been worse though. He could have dusted off the Jonathan Stewart contract and...
i wonder if it was a message

Im don't know how the conditioning drills went today but if he failed them it would send a hell of a message to everyone else by cutting right then. This is disco this is no party

KB quitting football to get his head straight and follow his restaurant dreams = heroic.
