NFL: NFC Divisional Round-New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles
(Philadelphia, PA) – Nick Sirianni is an interesting dude. A three-time champion in Division-III college football, he played wide receiver.
After a stint in the American Indoor Football League, he got into coaching. But he seemingly never dropped the diva wide receiver status.
Notably, he screamed like a crazed lunatic after winning a regular season game over the Kansas City Chiefs. He routinely stares into television cameras and mean mugs when his team is doing well.
And now, he’s taking shots at Giants fans – saying he wants to tell them his Eagles now have New York’s best player (Saquon Barkley).
First of all – how obsessed with the city of New York is Philadelphia and anything in the realm of their sports teams? It’s bizarre and frankly borderline creepy. Also, a great point about Barkley. He’s such a great player the Giants offense has been horrific, unwatchable, and absolutely unable to score TDs on a regular basis. So, what a major loss it is!
But really, how fascinating it is that Sirianni is so predicated on what the Giants and their fans are up to. It’s almost as if his team didn’t completely fall apart last year and then get their ass kicked by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers en route to a first round exit.
It’s almost as if there haven’t been rumors swirling about how the team and its locker room completely crumbled like a stale Philly pretzel. Surely both coordinators being canned and replaced suggests things are great with Sirianni and his front office.
There’s an old phrase. Let sleeping dogs lie. No one expects the Giants to be anything but a NFC East doormat this coming season. Everyone is predicting another Super Bowl run for Sirianni and his precious boy Barkley.
Best of luck to the loud mouth! We’re all pulling for his plucky squad!
