The right apology is Neal protecting his quarterback with more consistency
The right apology is to quit football just like Billy Eppler quit the Mets today.
Tackle is out the window for that mess. Maybe guard but even then you still have to block and be able to move faster then a snail.
Even if you’re a burger flipper, he had the audacity to punch down by calling fans “sheep”. Bro, you’re not a lion. You’re the worst offensive lineman on a bad offensive line. At least the burger flipper is good at his job.
If I was his coach I'd make him go play around of golf and pair him with a 70 year old scratch golfer. He can watch an old man half his size hit a ball twice as far, while he looks like an idiot who's never played a sport before. Then tell him he's not superior to anyone.
That's what I thought. Relative to other burger flippers... I'm in the 90th percentile. You're in the bottom 9th percentile at your job.
If Neal thinks he was getting booed before, just wait…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s gonna be ☔️☔️☔️☔️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻.
He has no idea he just wrote his ticket out of the tri-state area. He’s done!!!!!!
To attack people and look down upon people because they’re not as financially well off as you is extremely shallow. Especially coming from a player who really sucks.
Dudes ab to head into retirement
@@Nebo888Yeah if he wasn't born into a 6'6 athletic body, he would prob be doing the same thing. You're playing a sport for a living. Get over yourself.
Snowballs are coming......maybe a hamburger chew toy or two as well.
if i was nfl he be out of the sport forever @@Nebo888
He will never be able to get a burger or hot dog in NYC without spit ever again.
New condiment..... phlegm
As it should be and im not even a giants fan
@@zainamuhammad40 100%. That's why you never insult people who make food for a living.
😂🤣🤣🤣😂
Love or hate Don, he is the epitome of a passionate fan.
And there are lower income fans who have saved their money for months or years so that they could see their favorite team for possibly the only time in their lives. Atheletes are so out of touch.
It’s kinda the same thing when you want to meet celebrities in a tribeca film festival or any other event but they are expensive to get in and it takes time to save money and have the only chance to meet in their life time
Good point. I can’t imagine tix in NY/NJ are cheap.
Neal is gonna have it hard from this point on. It's over for him
I agree man. Fans will never forget this. This is worse than Toney. He criticized how a % of the fanbase earns a living. Without them, there's no NFL...It was really shallow. You're getting paid millions to play a sport for a living. You were lucky to be born into a 6'6 athletic body. Get over yourself
He’s still getting paid millions what’s gonna be “over”?
@@AtribecalledsuccessRight??? I mean, it’s not like millionaire athletes who have a subpar attitude ever go broke…
I said exactly what Michael did. “He meant what he said when he said it.” Shove the apology.
Don makes the best point how this wasn’t right after the game it was a few days later so those are his true feelings.
Don is spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Giants PR team wrote that apology. Those sentences could not have been written by a football player who never had to go to a single class since high school. Unfortunately, his talents are not good enough for the NFL.
How TF would you know if Mr. Neal never went to class since HS? Did you carry his books, did he take your lunch. You couldn’t carry Mr. Neal’s jock. You couldn’t make 1 play at his position in the NFL. STFU and just flip your burgers.
Very disrespectful!!
Not even hs. Mostly since elementary. Once they discoved they had talent, everyone around them gave them a pass
All those athletes get there work done for them by others , it’s pathetic
@@rene8701 far less disrespectful, and far more accuate and based in reality, than neal's comments about the fans
Dude in the middle didn't have a problem with low wage workers being insulted, he just had a problem with doctors, car dealers, psychiatrists, etc., being lumped in with them.
Don is everything Francesca never was. passionate, real, honest, all Jersey! As a transplant now living in NC, I always come back to get my Jersey LaGreca fix. He's a legend.
I was excited about Evan Neal and Kayvon Thibodeaux when the Giants drafted them. At this point, not so much.
Atp, it’s looking like Joe Schoen is a bust.
Bums
@jnyce2nyce what. Please remember we were not really a playoff team last year. The Giants gave us a false read of who they are. I knew, right, from the outset, they were not that good. It would have been better for everyone for everyone to have reasonable expectations. So is Scheon a bust...NOPE.....IS NEAL a bust...he just might be. Scheon has drafted and traded well. In addition, we now have a lot of room under the cap. It takes at least 3 years to turn around a franchise so bad in every way as the Giants. This has been a very difficult season to this point. I think everyone overrated the Giants. To many mistakes, I will admit made by management, however Scheon is doing a very good job. This Neal situation, I agree, was handled miserable . So we move forward l. The goal is to get better, not reach the playoffs
Jet fan here. When Joe Douglas was getting the accolades from the past drafts with Sauce, GWilson, etc., I thought the Giants were the real winners as they were quietly building their lines to be a force for the next 10 years. Shocked to see how it's turning out so far.
Thibs is fine
Who flips hot dogs! You turn hot dogs get it right
Not sure what you're talking about. I boil my sabretts.
Look at Neal does it look like he waits for anything too cook. Out of the package right into that big gullet
when you play for any of the New York teams expect to be booed that comes with the territory
Don is still on point.
A "public statement" on social media doesn't mean shit. Most of these guys have PR reps working the accounts. Whatever was said most likely didn't come from him
You obviously have to bench him for at least a first half next game and teach him the lesson and not just ignore it. When you don't address these situations with some kind of discipline it just gives the next guy the green light to do it.
Not going to happen. I agree there should be some sort of punishment from the Giants, but there won't be.
The apology was complete bull crap! Scripted and copied and pasted not to mention poorly written. He did not show any real remorse because that’s what he really thinks. Furthermore he probably assumed that most people agreed with him. Sickening!
Talk about forgetting where you came from. Evan Neal was born in Okeechobee, FL where the median household income was $40,149 with a per capita income of $21,449. 21.8% of the population lived below the poverty threshold. Evan Neal signed a 4 year rookie contract with the Giants in 2022 worth $24,551,256 fully guaranteed. Then he goes out plays like crap and decides to insult the very hard working fans that bust their ass to earn a living and pay his salary...RANT ON!
I dont understand why ppl are pissed at daboll tossing the ipad TO THE SIDE, watch the replay ppl. DJ didnt want to listen to Daboll when he approached him showing what he saw. Have you ever tried showing something to someone, and they decided to ignore what you were showing them? You say screw'em. So the toss of the ipad to the side was the "screw it" moment for daboll.
Neal, and the rest of the team who feels the same as him, have a LOOOONG season with us. If they dont start to get better, this will only get worse. Already KT voice his annoyance towards us fans, now Neal...wonder who else is gonna speak out. Stop playing like crap and get better results. We are watching 👀
He actually threw it that the OC 😂
Cut em then he can go work at burger King an have it his way
he meant what he said - i would respect him more if he refused to apologize -
Social media apologies are never genuine
The thing is… Neal definitely said the quiet part out loud- a lot of players feel the way he felt. He was just stupid enough for saying it.
Everyone is too thin skinned. Mr Neal for calling the fans burger flippers because they booed the Giants play. The paying customers for not understanding players millionaires or not have feeling too. The end.
You dont want to get booed, play better!!!
You know what’s funny about this story… Since Neal apologized he hasn’t played a Giants home yet. They’ve been on the road and when they were home he’s been injured. This was his first game back against the Raiders. If he stays healthy and eventually plays a home game if he gets a false start or holding penalty called against him fans are going to boo him even more because they haven’t forgotten about this.
No-one who flips burgers for a living has been able to buy a Giants ticket since 1966. Probably 30% of the crowd makes more money than he does. Certainly 75% of the crowd will make more money in their lifetimes than Evan Neal will during his life.
Lmfaoo absolutely wrong 30% of the crowd isn’t making millions per year
The Yankees just keep looking better and better.
not really
@@Christopher-jk9bji heard cole and judge will be input for the the Yankees
Giants should give every fan at the next home game a free Hamburger & Hotdog lol
what up with the audio? thought my headphones were breaking
John Mara is red hot about Neal's statement but is apparently satisfied with his team's play on the field? John should apologize for the product he has put on the field.
What about Mara’s partner Steve Tisch?!
I can't blame Mara at this point. He took a step back when he hired Schoen and Daboll. Neal being a bad pick is on Schoen, not Mara.
Neal will be run out of town on a rail after these next 2 games.
Unless he balls out, which I doubt!!
Great video guys thanks, yeah you hit the nail on the head with your video. I have been a Giant fan for a long time. Neal had better brace himself because this is not going a away. I can see it now the fan will not let up, every time there is a QB Sack his going to get hell.
Neil is not apologetic, these athletes think they’re better than the average person. How sensitive can one be over being booed. In high school we had a 24 hour window where no one was allowed to say or tweet anything, because emotions are high. Maybe the NFL should adopt that.
Well said Peter. Neal should of apologized in front of microphones.
Michael, Don and Peter will be flipping burgers 🍔 if their ratings vs. The WFAN doesn't improve 🤔 hmmmm
how many burgers you gotta flip to buy a burger at that stadium?
Is like $20
There is reason Dwight Freeney exclusively played over the LT. Same for OSI. Same reason Sauce only plays on one side of the field. Put him on the left side at LG next to Thomas. Maybe a game changer for him. Like it was for Ereck Flowers.
This is a good point. It would be great if someone said I made this apology because my behavior became public , i wish it hadn’t, i have to consider my actions
These guys have the right idea
Hell no it's not all good! F him.
#Giants4Life
24 *is* 12 nowadays.
Fair
Agree with Peter on this one .. Daboll is starting to really bother me with the way he handles people .. starting to see why his players are a bunch of cry babies ..
There is any easy cure for players that don't like to be booed...its called playing better.
Can the Giants send him to the Jets? 😂
I played softball when one of our player did a stupid thing he would let us know it made us better players had a lot of respect for our coach.😢😢
So, the middle guy says that he was articulating what a lot of athletes actually feel about the fans? They think, “you can’t do what I do/How dare you boo me?” And then they use a stereotype of someone with a low paying job as an insult? I think this is something we should seriously consider, as fans. Is this true? Listen, regardless of how much money we all make, WE PAY THEIR SALARIES. WE ULTIMATELY PROVIDE THEIR JOB FOR THEM. Without viewership and merchandising, they would be playing football for free. A lot of them would be flipping burgers and hotdogs themselves. If they have forgotten that and have gotten it twisted somehow(maybe they are just stupid meatheads), we might want to consider reminding them of how the money they get paid is generated. Let’s remember, we actually have the power to do something about this. If we don’t watch/buy, they don’t have a job. If we just watch/buy anyway, he is right about us being “sheep”.
Millions of dollars but can’t handle being booed. Babies.
Don Ate that man alive FOH
Not a good look from Neal that he would fall back and apologise for his rant.
If you a player does not want to get booed then play up to NFL standards!! Brian Daboll is in total free fall!! Michael Kay why are you playing devils advocate so hard?
If he feels personally attack by fans booing the team that means he’s aware he’s not performing and feels bad about it and got defensive and chose to attack the fans
Oh well write a letter
20 year old sports figure says something stupid. Fan based is outraged. Talking sports heads lose their minds with righteous indignation. Athlete is forced to apologizes for saying stupid thing. Fan base debates if apology is actually meant or not. Talking Sports Heads milk story for all they can. Give themselves high 5's for a good week of ratings.
Seen this story a 1000nd times before. Why is it still surprising or a big deal?
It’s why the teams in NY LA Chi tend to suck
He screenshoted the notes app on his phone. Get TF out of here with that BS apology. 😂 His days in NY are over!
Its humorous that many athletes don't fully understand who pays for these oversized contracts. Be a pro and separate personal feelings. The cost of the stadium experience comes with a reasonable expectation and privilege
He should go flip burgers and cook hot dogs for a week.
Don 💯 right !
Suprised he wasnt cut. Honestly. Like people who flip burgers can afford to go to an NFL game. I don't know what it's like in East Rutherford, but in Chicago, you have to be pretty damn rich to do anything.
Bro…didn’t Kay just have to apologize about Daboll’s party for his six year old….???
Athletes like labron etc feel this way because they have never worked a real job in there lives and have never had to do really anything or be held accountable for anything. They have never lived in the real world even the ones that grew up in low income areas. They were privileged very early on, not rich but we're givin money and taken care of. They have no concept of real work or money.
I mean...no one forced these athletes to play football for a living. They are LUCKY to be doing it. If they don't want to be booed, maybe don't suck? Also, everyone gets job criticism no matter what they do, does he think he's special?
Man, I remember last year when Daboll was smoking a cigar after the titan game flying high off success. I doubt he smoking any cigars this year. 😂
I know a few guys who flip burgers, who do well for themselves. Need to find the right place. Not talking McDonald's or wendys😂
"Burger flippers" can afford to go to NFL games? Not hardly.
Specially in ny
If they were to afford it, they’d be literally breaking their bank account. No disrespect intended to them because I once did that dead end job.
Maybe celebrity chefs can get in
Thank you he’s 24 not 12. Can we stop calling 20 year olds kids. I get it if it’s your son or daughter but that should be the only case
By witnessing this teams collective effort...they need to start a rebuild now...this defense looks like the want to play 2 hand touch
Evan Neal, the new Elvis Patterson. Former coach Bill Parcells called him "Toast", because he kept on getting burnt on pass plays.
If that's what they think have the balls to say it
He better hope nobody at these fast food joints recognize him when hes in the drive thru
Maybe if these ill-educated players took a logic course in college, if they went to class at all, they’d know what a dumb argument it is to say to fans, “you can’t do what I do, so shut up.”
Try that on your customers in any real job. Try that on your boss.
It is who he is. An arrogant player that thinks playing for Alabama makes him special. Instead of putting in the work. He's only apologizing because of the huge backlash. Correction, his agent wrote the apology for him.
Didn’t Kay go off on Don a few weeks ago telling him “you sound like a fan!”…….in a condescending tone…… what a hypocrite…… but by what he said about Neal, I guess that’s how he looks at fans…….
MetLife Stadium has proven to be a Death Sentence for both ‘home teams’ The Giants & Jets have a similar pathetic record in that joke of a building! NYG 49-57 NYJ 49-59 Combined 98-116! What’s not to boo + as a player, what’s not to hate!
Don is exactly right
I hope Neal enjoys his next owner.
Oscar Mayer
Legreca REALLY thinks Neal was apologizing to him. He REALLY think what he says matters. Some of these fans are real delusional.🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate Don and know where he's coming from with saying to cut him but i wouldn't. Just flip him off if you see him but 'use' him. Play good ball and make us happy.... After your suspension because fans come first. Suspend him!
If you're an athlete who wants to look down on the fans as lesser people you should at least be good at your job.
In 4 seasons and 4 games Daniel Jones has been sacked 171 times and this does not include the number of hits he has taken after he throws the ball and the time he has to run
good take ,,The whole team sucks
Watch the next home game. There's gonna be some creative signs.
New Yorkers are very sensitive groups of sports fans. You boo athletes you better be ready to get the same results back.
I don’t care I’ve been a fan since 1960 been through good and bad but I’m not taking anybody talking to me like that when someone says something that’s how they feel grow up or get out
NY fans booing...say it isnt so.....
Neal and Kay should hang out. They can insult fans together all day long.
Piss on that guy!!!!
Don is so right on this one
Apology not accepted.
it's funny because the lion micah parsons makes him look like a sheep
That angry man de la creca I’m sure owns 1000s of apologies, hate to be his son or wife. Man what an angry knucklehead 😂😂😂😂
of course, he meant what he said of course he was talking for other athletes who can swing in the jungle but cant read the jungle book.....but what do you all think?
that they care about the fans ?...lol
Anyone here from the PMS?
Don is the man of the people
**YT ppl**
If calling us "sheep" results in him actually blocking some defenders then 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
These guys trying to act superior and judging someone…what a joke… you ain’t fooling no one..❌❌❌
I will never go to a game
Evan just f..........ked himself..... now he better perform instead of being the turnstile he's been so far!
He won't though, he is looking awful
dabol could say what peter said and then move on - it takes a minute to say what peter said
Who is Evan Neil he's nothing what ever comes out his mouth means nothing if I'm him I wouldn't order spit burgers .
