Apparently someone that the NFL on CBS with 1.4M Followers considered worthy enough to broadcast his work on Twitter

Daniel Jones
NEW YORK GIANTS QB
The Giants reportedly dabbled with replacing their rehabbing investment, whose ball-security issues returned behind a porous line in 2023. Perhaps Malik Nabers can restore his fortunes.

Quote from: AZGiantFan on Today at 12:48:48 PMTotally agree.  Not surprised that Florio is one of the ones trying to mountainize this molehill.

Mike has a long history of doing that.  Sometimes, he succeeds, but more often than not, he fails in his efforts.

I listened to Pat Leonard's recent podcast.  He is trying very hard to make this a story.  He cited the comments by the Seahawks GM; he claims to have heard from his own inside sources, and he declared that Daniel Jeremiah is no longer just a draft guru but an NFL insider as well.

He never mentioned that Schoen and Lock himself denied the claims. As a sports journalist, Leonard was required to report all the relevant facts, not cherry-pick them to pursue his self-serving agenda.

I had sort of been warming up to Pat of late, but I am troubled by what I consider his less-than-honest reporting.  I am not even saying Pat had to believe Schoen's or Lock's claims, but it was dishonest not to include them in is reporting.

The pearl-clutching over a Rookie of the Year bet between Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers is much ado about nothing

If they both claim the bet was made before the draft, I am pretty sure the NFL gambling policy doesn't apply.   In that case, I would think the NFL would just tell them to rescind the bet.  Plus, when did the NFL inform these players of their gambling policy?   Also, when do drafted players officially become NFL players?

Quote from: kartanoman on May 08, 2024, 09:27:26 PMOK, I'll ask the question.

When the time (eventually) comes, which half of Giants' ownership is going to sell out to a Private Equity Fund(s) FIRST?

Talk amongst yourselves.

Peace!

I could see the Maras selling up to 30% if only to reduce the inheritance tax, which I don't think their family is wealthy enough to afford.   I don't think I would call it "selling out".  As I understand what is being proposed, 30% of the value of a franchise can be offloaded to private equity groups in 10% increments.  This allows the PA to participate in the profits while not gaining control of the franchise, and it reduces the value of the franchises by 30%, which will make them easier to sell, buy, and inherit.
