Anyone who jumps on a 69 year old cancer survivor for wearing a mask during a pandemic is the lowest form of scum.... The virus wrecked me and my body (still haven't fully recovered in over a month) and DG has a good 20 years on me. How these "people" even look at themselves in a mirror, without getting sick, is beyond my comprehension. Glad your feeling better jb. I remember you telling me that all they did for you was give you Tylenol. The media is a melt of people that live in their own bubble and consider anyone that thinks different than them not as educated or as cool. These arrogant elitists make me puke. I detest them so much, never mind trust anything they say. |

after picking Thomas, they showed him putting on a mask and getting up from his chair. Apparently lots of the talking heads have not heard of Covid-19. I think they were pissed that he made a good pick, and couldn't rip on him for that, so they had to find something, and even though the laud first responders, and push social distancing, when it was there in front of them, they ignored it. Kind a funny when they showed him with the mask from a far angle that he had a decent set up in front of him for the draft. "not just a single laptop" as was reported ...... I saw that. He had 2 TVs set up to the side. He must of felt the heat the internet was giving him. That allowed him (and Judge) to make the right pick at 4. Glad he learned. Now about the rotary phone... |

The media coverage of the Giants was just god awful last night. My wife and I were talking about this. She asked me why did he have a mask on at home and I was like "I think it has something to do with COVID-19, him recovering from cancer and having a camera crew in his house." Media heads left and right were clowning him on twitter and are now backtracking since they realized how shitty their jokes were after the fact. My daughter also asked why were they showing Beckham kicking the net when he is no longer a member of the team. The media actually made me angry last night, which is hard for them to do to me. The sports media to Gettleman = The MSM to Trump There are legitimate bases for criticism, but they just personally hate the guy for some reason and that hate drives them to be biased and make mistakes. |

And Belichek takes notes on a yellow legal pad. Anyone making fun or ridiculing a coach that has won 6 SB's. And coached in 9. Actually that's wrong he won 2 more SB's as an assistant with Big Blue. So the correct answer is won 8 SB's and coached in 11.
I don't know how I got on this I just hate the media so much. I understand Gettlemen being overly cautious as a 69 year old cancer survivor. Hell I'm over 70 and have had a double by pass and a stint. I'm pretty damn careful myself.

I know that Gettleman can be an easy punching bag, and I have been a huge critic of his, but I thought that it was shameful that some legit media mocked him for putting on a mask in his basement. The guy is a 69 year old cancer survivor with IT and TV people in his home for the draft. Low point of the draft for me. there is absolutely no limit to what the media will do to hype a story, even if it is to try to make a fool out of a decent guy, shame on most of them... |

Not to derail, but the obj thing probably was on purpose..and obj took the bait as usual. He was all over Twitter last night. Thanks for letting me know. I'm not surprised that he responded. If my daughter would not have brought it up, I most likely would not have even cared about it. We all know that most media is agenda driven. |

The media is agenda driven. Fox news has their agenda of supporting DT as CNN has their agenda of bashing him. It is what it is. In regards to Gettleman, it is just the sports media being the sports media. He isn't the guy that they wanted the Giants to hire, so they will clown on him 24/7 365. Hopefully winning will shut most of them up, but who knows since they are so biased against him. I personally am not a fan of his at all, but feel that the media coverage has been awful in regards to him. |

Legit media??? LOL It was, as you say, shameful. lol … I inadvertently created a nice oxymoron, huh? I understood what you meant but since you've read my stuff for long enough, you know how much contempt I have for "those people." I never miss a chance to take a shot at them.  |

I was one of the people who pointed it out and was called dumb for asking why he would wear the mask. I like DG a great deal and have defended his decisions but still wonder why he was wearing the mask. Did he have non-family members in the house and with him at that time? Do we know the NFL went through all this trouble to do a draft remotely and then decided to have camera crews in homes? Or, at the very least, not take considerable precautions if they did? Some are just assuming that was the case. Cancer survivor being cautious? Again, maybe but we don't know. As far as what I know from the reading I've done on this is you wear masks only if you are sick and don't want to spread the germs or if you fear you are near others who are sick and may expose you. I have no idea what the media was doing but anyone wondering what was going on and asking shouldn't be lumped in as "ragging on him." Someone pointed out that he may have just been covering his mouth so no one could read his lips - joking, I'm sure, but could also be true.

The Beckham footage after the pick was far more egregious imo, especially considering he wasn’t a Gettleman pick.
They should’ve shown Beckham in a Browns uniform when Cleveland picked, as it is them who got fleeced in that trade, not the Giants.

I agree, I saw that this morning as right after Thomas was picked I decided to call it a night and catch up on the rest this morning.
I'm sure with the treatments the guy's immune system is out of whack, even if it was in the past.
They just did it on ESPN laughing at him until another analyst said he was sick and then they quickly back peddled |

I must have missed this. What happened? He had a mask on? Not when I saw it... after picking Thomas, they showed him putting on a mask and getting up from his chair. Apparently lots of the talking heads have not heard of Covid-19. I think they were pissed that he made a good pick, and couldn't rip on him for that, so they had to find something, and even though the laud first responders, and push social distancing, when it was there in front of them, they ignored it. Ohhhh yes the can. Talking heads are destroying him today for the pick. Simmons on the clock, Wills and Wirfs being better. You name it. The hate is there |

He is the GM of the NY Giants!
George Young, Ernie Accorsi, Jerry Reese ALL got criticized/scrutinized heavily so nothing is or will be different for DG!
I always give him credit for his Drafts, I trust his drafting he had good drafts with the Panthers as well. However when it comes to Free Agents signings and Trades...Not So Good! Also the way he deals with and treat Veterans is why he is HATED by former Panthers players like: Thomas Davis, Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams and many others
Many in the Media don't like the guy AT ALL both on ESPN and NFL Network. Both Daniel Jeremiah and Mel Kiper was all negative about his pick last night

I usually read the draft grades the next day to see what other people think we should've done or what they think about our pick. Not because I care but just to see what information they may have on the player. Of course Cincy and the usual suspects have won the draft already and the Giants screwed the pooch by taking a position they needed and was a projected good value. |

The guy is a 69 year old cancer survivor with IT and TV people in his home for the draft. Low point of the draft for me. Yeah, I saw him put the mask on. I thought it was odd. Then my son pointed out that he was getting up from his desk (a makeshift setup... probably just for this occasion) and there were probably media people there to record him. He was probably going to be in closer proximity and wanted a mask. Damn... no big deal. I'm 73 with COPD and I'm a bit more careful too. I don't blame him at all. Some people just can't help making a mountain out of a molehill. As things go in this world, it was a zero, and Aholes have to make it more than that because they're anal. |

This really isn't that important - I would be ok with "he's in a risk group and is being over the top cautious." I just feel like we live in an outrage-culture that over-reacts to innocent statements and harmless humor too much. I'm only speaking on what happened in the draft thread since I haven't heard anyone in the media mention it yet. The thread attacking Gettleman about his "war-room" set up was way worse, in my opinion. |

The hate is there You have to ask If the Giants were flops in not taking Simmons . How did Miami, The Chargers, Carolina not get the same scrutiny for passing on him as well. If he was the best at 4 . How could he not be the best at 5,6,and 7 also? The way they hold intellectual contempt for the public is hilarious. |

The Media loves Dave...Reese never gave them this much material. There is nothing else to report on which is just a sign of the times.
The Giants are always showing support to NY's first responders...since 9/11.

Ummm...You guys are taking things waaaaaay to serious. The man lives in a damn mini mansion....critiquing his man cave set up is not high on his list of priorities. Would having 10 extra monitors change his pick? Probably not. He could have the best man cave ever if he so desired it. Half the people reporting on it are living in apartments 1/10th the size of his war room in an over priced city.  |

Apparently it is big news now. Mixed in with jabs at the pick.

Cool - official confirmation someone was in the room. People do need to get off his back - people ragging on him probably aren't 1/2 as "smahrt" as he is. |

if you're taking off your mask every time you get in the car, you're contaminating it and your hands and making it useless. When I take my mask off. I saturate it with anti-bac gel to sterilize it. And actually before I go inside where a lot of people are Also kills the zackally breath scent inside Zackally like my asshole |
