“This is not a clown show…”

NJBlueTuna : 1/19/2022 2:01 pm
Every organization has a credo, a mantra if you will. For example, the Raiders’s “Commitment to Excellence”.

Today, it is being reported the Giants will give the new GM carte blanche to remake the team.

Could it be possible prophetic utterance by Judge’s penultimate from the post game presser “ This is not a clown show…” becomes part of lore that brought about the resurrection of the franchise?
Hmm . . . ?

that was a huge moment for this franchise. That, plus the QB sneaks, made the awful play at the end of the year untenable. If that press conference doesn't happen and they don't run the 2 QB sneaks, it's possible we still have Judge.
When you say part of the lore

Do you mean BBI posters will claim it as fact, and base further supposition upon that "fact"?
probably yes.

If you mean catalyst, I would say it is more likely the record for the past 10 years

It was a huge moment as Judge had a cataclysmic meltdown at the podium in the next to last game of the season, throwing everyone else under the bus in embarrassing fashion while proclaiming this was not a “clown show”.

FO realized any decent new GM coukd bit be associated with this coach.

Or the fact that German means its a dupe or the Shockey trade with the Saints turning from a 5 rounder to a 2nd if the saints win the superbowl when mercury is in retrograde....I am cloudy about how German became German other than a thread that referenced Animal House.

Agree... it is not like the guy was not truly trying to win here. He made his mistakes but was also saddled with a shitty situation here. A shitty GM and a QB that was forced upon him.

Eddie Murphy was because there is a scene in coming to America where he hilariously explains how the Giants beat the Packers with a last-minute field goal. After we beat the Packers in the playoffs during the '07-'08 run in the same fashion, it was reposted dozens of times and thus became a running joke.
I was a huge fan of Judge until….  
NJBlueTuna : 1/19/2022 7:33 pm : link
His post game press conference after the Bears loss. It was almost like a psychotic break on his part Re attacking people outside the organization. It was a really bad look for the franchise, completely different from the narrative he cultivated for himself, and toxic to any GM hire

I feel bad for him tbh. We all have those moments in life. Judge had has emotional breakdown in public without the benefit of results. He was done after that post game interview. Everyone will spin it to make it gracious and that it a good thing.

There are things I like about Judge. I am glad John Mara acknowledged that in his statement. I hope JJ takes it to heart.

I feel bad for Judge...to an extent. On one hand, I don't like seeing people get fired. On the other hand, he is collecting some nice coin in his severance package. It isn't like he's going to be panhandling in NJ anytime soon.

I'd be shocked if he ever gets another HC shot in the NFL. It is one thing to be fired; it is another to become a national joke, which he did those last few weeks.

Right.

The burn to the ego might be pretty severe though. Someone must really not want you around to pay that much. But sleeping on piles of money should help.

I don't feel bad for him at all.
The guy quit on his team in the last 2 games.

He liked to say in his pressers that he wasn't in the excuse business and then proceeded to come up with a myriad of excuses (Gettleman, Garrett, Shumer, headsets, etc.) I'm not saying those situations didn't contribute to the shitty record but if you say you're not going to make excuses, then don't make excuses.

My personal favorite, Judge whining about the bad situation he inherited when he was hired. News flash Joe, most new head coaches don't come into situations where everything is just peachy.
