Andrew Gundling On Eagles Tanking, Don La Greca Rips Him, "TAKE THE L!!!”

The Michael Kay Show, January 4th, 2021 - The guys ask the producer of the show, Andrew Gundling, on the Philadelphia Eagles' decision to tank the game. Things got heated and annoyed, Don La Greca rips Andrew for his team throwing the game away embarrassingly on national television. Eventually, turned into a screaming match.

[@Capricornus17]

Hearing Andrew angrily scream while looking at his smiling picture at the bottom makes this even more hilarious 😆 🤣

The problem here is if you were gonna tank then tank from the beginning of the game , not when your down 3 and then all of a sudden you throw the white flag and put a 3rd string qb in 4th quarter .

[@lucasmartinez5703]

Right? If the intention was to tank, then they didn't even do that right.

[@darian6485]

Lmfaoooo no so its ok for the jets to tank ppl supporting that but when eagles supposedly tank one game and it was the last game of the season its a big issue plz give me a break and besides even if eagles won they would not go to the playoffs so it wouldn't matter if they won anyways smh

[@josephvanhorn5347]

They saw an opportunity to pick 6th instead of 10th an they took it. Now they’re picking 12th and have the Dolphins 1st round pick in 2022 instead of only picking 10th in 2021. The Giants and their fans are talking about the Eagles reputation when they’ve gone from winning 4 Super Bowls and being highly respected to throwing a tantrum about missing the playoffs at 6-10. The Eagles made a smart move that has already got them another first rounder and the Giants are butt hurt about missing the playoffs with 10 losses because they have been trash for a decade.

[@kingme1931]

The only reason these guys care is because the Giants missed the playoffs. They don’t really care about tanking because the Giants would do the same thing

[@cambonious23]

I’m an eagles fan. In my opinion, the eagles lost the game to keep the giants out of the playoffs and would have done the same if it was the cowboys. If they were playing either team, and could have stopped either the giants or cowboys from getting into the playoffs by beating them, they would have played to win. I see the 6th vs the 9th pick as a consolation prize. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I see it.

[@ryancalhoun2910]

They aren't supposed to care about that kind of stuff. Who cares if it's the Giants or the Cowboys or the WFT? You aren't in, what do you care?

[@kylebuckmaster6976]

[@NothingToPointOut24]

A 6-10 team making the playoff would've been so much more of an embarrassment than what the Eagles did. Plenty of teams over the years take a knee in Week 17. The only reason this is a story is because a NY team missed out. Get over it.

[@ericcollins81]

Um you know the eagles were up

[@NothingToPointOut24]

I dont see how that factors into my statement.. Im not saying it wasnt a tankjob. I wont even say that it wasnt embarrassing. It was. But the only reason, well two reasons, why this was even a topic on NY sports radio this last week, was mainly because the Giants missed out on a playoff spot (the fact that if the Eagles played their best would've destroyed the Redskins should tell you all you need to know about that joke of a division) and also because it was a primetime game. Which really, who cares. I remember in 2009 the Bengals completely laid down for the Jets to make the playoffs and the Texans missed out. Why didnt Don have a problem with that? To me, Giants players actually calling out the Eagles is what was embarrassing.

All these cry babies trying to scream about integrity are an absolute joke Integrity dosent get you Micah parsons or chase Give me a break, there was no reason to put a 6 win and a 4 win team on national tv, that wasn’t the only game that had playoff implications to it. There’s nothing wrong with what they did Sure it’s not a huge jump but whoever they need has a better shot at being there at 6 than 9. It’s not their fault the 6 win giants fans thought they were entitled to a play off spot or that other people now all the sudden are gonna get but hurt over “integrity” When the Eagles are sitting there at 6 and draft parsons and he’s their answer at lb or chase/smith at wr for the next 10-15 years, they’re not gonna give two shits about what was said, they’re not gonna care come draft day when they’re on the clock at 6
