The natural reaction would be to defend the one who is currently on the Giants, but I've kind of had enough of Thibodeaux and his constant yapping.

Me too. His "brand" hasn't produced Jack xxxx

He's not wrong but it is a douche move. Circle back to the RV accident in violation of his contract, the lack of effort at times and his less than probowl execution when he was here, and maybe he shouldn't be throwing stones. Maybe he should have given a compelling reason to be resigned.

That said, Thibs needs to work his craft or he's next to fall through the cracks. I'm sure he's been humbled and had the wings clipped. Maybe ballet lessons? Bundally... Savay!

But Jeff, he's "building his brand."  =))

I remember being in the minority of folks here during the draft eval of him saying he's more brand than football.

I only watched the clip in that tweet, what exactly did KT say that was bad or wrong or was it something not in that clip?

I don't mind a bit of mouth if the player is living up to his expectations on the field. It never bothered me that much with, say, Deion for example. I mean LT mouthed off a lot too.

KT should just pipe down and work on getting better. A lot better.

Nothing "wrong." I just personally find all the public appearances and constant jabber to be a little excessive with him. Maybe it's a generational thing. In my experiences, most of the time when an athlete is hugely hyped up coming into a pro sports league, and he ends up being a substantial disappointment, they usually keep a bit of a lower profile than KT is/has.

I am trying to figure out what he said that was disrespectful to McKinney, unless I am watching the wrong clip.  I saw another clip where he was saying guys who play off the ball have it harder and he wouldnt want to be a WR.

Point is - Thibs hasn't done enough of anything to warrant him speaking about anything.

Shut the hell up and play. When you're good we will entertain you!

it wasn't a violation of his contract. He was allowed to go on a trip to Mexico during his bye week and wasn't the driver.

Interesting that it's not a violation.

Do you have a link where the clauses in the contract were? I'd be interested to read them.

I'd say it definitely was a violation of his contract

Then why wasn't he suspended without pay? The Giants were supportive during his recovery.

Kayvon's only interesting moves are off the field. He's invisible on it.

Not quite the bust Neal is (who could be?)..but just a guy. Nothing remarkable as a top 5 pick. :no:

If you consider the vehicle he was in an ATV, that is usually among the dangerous outside activities prohibited in NFL contracts.   While such activities are contractually prohibited, it's up to the club to decide if they want to enforce the clause, which teams often don't do.
