What an embarrassment McAdoo is

[@lizzybethnj617]

Absolutely I hate him

[@sleeper9728]

Daniel Geary AGREED ELI DESERVES BETTER THEN THIS

[@frankheck2854]

Reese too, not sure why they are protecting him. Coughlin actually saved his job by winning that 2nd super bowl

[@petergriffin9843]

Mike should the giants start Jason giambi instead of Gino smith

Man this got me so fired up in the car. I was ready to punch a window out 😂

[@robertace821]

Tim Renken I'm not even a giants fan and I felt the anger.

[@rustykuntz94]

HAHA, me too, Mike was ON POINT here

[@patrickgesuele8292]

Mike's 100% right. I'd kill to have Eli on my team. My Giant fan friends "oh Well this and Eli that". Without him they don't win 2 chips. Unbelievable

[@VapeTime79]

Patrick Gesuele agreed

[@carmenbouzas384]

Who's your team? I'm a Giant's fan. Eli deserves better. McAdoo is a complete idiot. We were voted to take our division this year. Eli took it with class and hopefully we don't lose him. He has a few good years left and if he had an offensive line we'd be great.

[@patrickgesuele8292]

Carmen Bouzas - I'm a Viking fan. We have been looking for a starting QB since Fran Tarkenton. My starting QB this year misses the entire year because of a....bruise??? Keenum has saved us but who knows how long that will last. This guy Eli has been a beast. 210 straight starts with some bad Olines?? AND YOU BENCH HIM? As if he's the reason they are 2-9. I'm disgusted. Class player and an unbelievable winner. Growing up in NY I have always admired the way the Gmen go about there business but not today.

[@Josh-ur6dx]

Wait are you saying your Giants fan friends are ok with this? My friends and I hate this. Zero offensive line for at least 3 years, no running game for even longer, the best receivers left on this team are a rookie TE and a 4th stringer, and a talented defense that has played 1 game with effort since the first month. I absolutely agree Eli is a class act, I think only haters could say otherwise. His answer to being benched/keeping the streak going shows this. He has always carried himself professionally. Fans could rely on him being there ready to play for the last 14 years.

[@patrickgesuele8292]

Josh - No, what I'm saying is at times over the past 13 years, my friends have sometimes complained about Manning over throwing receivers or holding on too long etc. My point is sometimes u don't know how good you have it until it's gone. And I agree with ur take

[@waqar88]

McAdoo has a hatred for Eli to the point that since he knows he will be out of a job in January he might as well take Eli down with him.

I forgot to add after he win the big game aka “The super bowl I wish he say that in the past I was disrespected at the end of my career by the other team but what I did here in Jacksonville today vindicates me to my fans thank for the memories! PS. I wish Eli would say something to that effect that would make him fans happy

[@rumtuckskatter]

Nah. He's going to Denver to follow in Peyton's footsteps. The narrative is too perfect to pass up.

He can just go uuuuuuuuuuuuuh for 1 minute until the commercial break. He's done that before. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, here's uuuuuuuuuuh the Menk man."

[@Pbinder1981]

[@TL2354]

Gives them, not us

[@RyanHoppeRadio]

Ben is so hatable. And I'm not even a Giants fan.

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

The Giants should have just traded Eli at the deadline if they were going to pull this nonsense! At least that would allow him to keep his dignity!

[@egocadet5024]

Mc Lovin he had a no trade clause

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

If he was told that he would likely be benched, Eli would waive that cause 100%

[@TitanicHorseRacingLover]

Totally agree with you. Ridiculous that McDooDoo pulls this crap

McAdoo can’t take his greasy haired, incompetent ass out of New York fast enough! And he can take Jerry Reese with him! This decision pretty much confirms that this franchise currently is a mess. This franchise is due for a major front office and coaching overhaul.

[@benthescientist]

jikaman7 The Tennessee fans that did that blow. Tennessee is never gonna be shit until their fans come to their senses. The Giants are never gonna be shit until Reese and McAdoo go. What do you think is gonna happen first?

[@JiKeeY202]

TheDiaryofaClown not justifying Tennessee's reason because it was pathetic lol I am advocating for the Giants 2 do the same thing for their reason would be more than valid! I do believe Macadoo and Reese will be fired at the end of the year but it needs to happen now... and us as fans need to send a message that the optics on all of this is that bad!

[@broncosstampede494]

jikaman7 Perfect I Couldn't Have Said It Better!!!!!

[@benthescientist]

jikaman7 You Giants fans are really giving that organization hell already. Just keep it up. I can't believe Ben didn't try to cover his ass and say that they're protecting Eli. No, he hates Eli and he wants to bench him and take him down with him. Ben knows he's getting fired either way. "We're all on the same page." Same page of what? Of mice and men? Did you get up to the part where the giant dumbass kills everything he touches out of his own stupidity? And then to end it all, his partner kills him. Spoiler alert, McAdoo

[@aarond23]

McAdoo was disgraceful here

[@Ramenshea83]

After further review mcadoo was right. Look at geno now

[@nunyabusiness863]

Geno finally, years later, matured and they won 9 games. Not bad but not impressive. Question is, where are mcadoo and reese? And reeses personnel choices? I loved reese but during these lean years realized he has no eye for talent and team needs.

[@glennwelsh9784]

And I bet they made this move knowing they were playing out west this week in the hopes that it will dull the boos and jeers they'll get the next time they play at Metlife. Rest assured, the Giants fans will be utterly brutal at the next home game. Expect lots of chants of "WE WANT ELI!" and "GENO SUCKS!" as well as signs calling for McAdoo and Jerry Reese to be fired.

Amazing Guy You sound like a fortune teller! As I sit here 12/31/2019 Mcadoo was indeed fired day after the season as was his successor Pat Shurmur 12/30/2019. Giants will NEVER get it right! Their organization is very similar to the Mets!! Giants just love to hire lovable (not in this case) losers!!

[@bradleymamba24]

Ben Macadoo should’ve been replaced not Eli. The giants owners and Reece are nothing without the two super bowls Eli brought in the last decade. Eli’s done everything for the organization to make it better. Class act. I’ve never loved Eli or liked him because I’m a Jets fan. And believe me if the organization thinks Geno who had 4 straight games with a pick six on the first drive with the jets in 2014 think that they have a better chance with geno is a bunch of BS. Also sad how Eli is the only one on the roster who’s been their since the 2007-08 Super Bowl team treated with disrespect by the other players in the locker room during the press conference who have accomplished nothing in their careers (Other then JPP who was on the 2011-12 Super Bowl team)

[@BaddogSports]

There's no secret. Ben McAdoo was ready to move on from Eli in 2017. He wanted to trade up and get Mahomes, or Watson. Ownership and Reese told him no. McAdoo knew he was done at this time. This was his parting middle finger to The Giants organization. I hate that he had to use Eli for that. It wasn't Eli's fault but, like it or not, McAdoo knew there were MAJOR problems on this team, and those problems are STILL there 4 years later.

[@TL2354]

Yea so it wasn't McAdoo, it's all Mara

Then he’ll start Web the last game of the season and still not have a clue what we’re gonna do with him Look Mac do don’t ask Eli to go back if you’re really going to evaluate. Dear Mr. Mara if anybody is going to evaluate anyone you should evaluate your head for thinking that Dummy Reese and Bob Macadoo are the future of this franchise save the real a valuations for preseason next year why even let Eli start when you can have three games to evaluate your back ups maybe you should’ve done that this year then instead of five games you would’ve had six to evaluate your back ups without ever hurting the streak you so badly wanted to be considerate of. Both you and Reese should just slither out of there at the end of the year like the snakes that you are Come on Mr. Mara wait till the end of the season and fire these two clowns if you don’t do the right thing so many fans will hold you responsible For not having the balls to put a stop to this now

This was the best segment in radio history. Mike F was the king of the airwaves and this cemented it. Radio has never been the same since he retired. And the Giants became the worst franchise in the NFL since they retired Eli and drafted Daniel Jones. Shame on Mara. Shame on all of them. Disgusting outfit.

I grew up outside DC and Baltimore post the midnight Mayflower exodus. My uncle lived in The City of New York when I was taking an interest in sports in the 80s, and got me interested in those 80s Giants teams and I've maintained that allegiance to the team ever since. If McAdoo wanted to see what "the other quarterbacks could do", there are years of game film of Geno Smith playing at MetLife in the other jersey, and Webb wasn't dressed for the gameday roster at all this season. "We're all on the same page with the decision"... who's 'we', you and Jerry Reese? New York has already seen Geno and knows if he's the answer to your question you're asking the wrong question. The only other Lombardis in the trophy case came with Eli under center. Yes, this season has been terrible. The roster has been decimated with injury, especially at WR (lost 4 in a single home game, you gotta be kidding me!) ; McAdios helped them to this 2-9 record benching top dbs in consecutive weeks, Flowers got Eli killed to start the plummet to top 3 draft selection, thank you Jerry Reese, you are directly responsible for that one.
