Giants owner John Mara calls Joe Judge era ‘rock bottom’

New York Giants co-owner John Mara knew firing Joe Judge was the right decision. Mara spoke about that choice Wednesday, explaining he felt the team hit “rock bottom” toward the end of the season. Mara’s full quote is actually much worse. He thought the team hit rock bottom weeks ago, only for the team to one-up its own failure every single week. That’s an honest — and scathing — assessment of Judge’s final weeks with the team. Judge drew headlines after a blowout loss against the Chicago… Source link

Google Must Turn Over More Documents in Labor Case, Judge Rules

Google wrongly claimed attorney-client privilege to protect documents subpoenaed in a National Labor Relations Board case filed by former employees who say the company fired them because of their unionization efforts, a labor judge has ruled.

Giants, Joe Judge should be done after fireable QB sneak call

“Relentless” was a word Joe Judge used as an anchor in the first media conference of his New York Giants coaching career. It was the kind of buzzy, coach-speak term that rolls off the tongue well in interviews and can be easily plastered somewhere in the team facility. If Ted Lasso has “Believe,” Joe Judge has “relentless.” Relentless in losing … in making mistakes … in overseeing decline.  They’re relentless reminders that fruit of the Bill Belichick coaching tree is usually long… Source link

Joe Judge rants after Giants’ historically bad loss

The New York Giants lost their fifth straight game by double digits on Sunday, and this was the ugliest of them all. Facing the 5-10 Chicago Bears, a team widely expected to fire their head coach after this season, the Giants weren’t just bad on offense, they were historically putrid. With starting quarterback Daniel Jones shut down for the season, back-up Mike Glennon finished the day 4-of-11 for 24 passing yards, two interceptions and four fumbles (two lost). Of Glennon’s four completed… Source link
