What is Quickly Becoming the G-Men’s Worst Enemy
From time to time we get a little tired of the Giants fans clamoring about the lack of respect their team receives. But, in this instance, the injustices and media bias are so great that even we can’t turn our heads and ignore it.
We’re talking of course about the media’s general lack of attention to the six Giants players who’ve been battling the flu over the past few days. It’s simply reprehensible. For the past week, we’ve incessantly heard about Tom Brady’s famous ankle. We’ve seen pictures of him from nearly every venue and wearing every manner of footwear – Pradas, boot, cool-guy sneakers. Yet, what have we seen from reporters about the ailing Giants? Virtually nada. Zilch. Zippo.
What? Poop and vomit aren’t of interest to you guys? Your “investigative reporting” doesn’t extend to flu-like symptoms? Hogwash, we say. At least John Clayton paid enough respect to the fans of this nation to inform them that Aaron Ross puked on the plane in Newark causing a delay in the Giants departure. But have you seen one shot of the chunkage? We all know the answer.
Were any cameras in or around Madison Hedgecock’s bedroom as he was laid up for two days with a high fever? Any bathroom reports on Michael Johnson or Manny Wright? Not big enough stars? How ’bout Strahan whose voice still hasn’t recovered since the trip back from Green Bay? The answer to all of this questions is “no” and, to be honest, it’s inexusable.
Hopefully, with bootgate wrapping up, the journalists will show their integrity and start getting some interviews from the can, some candids over a garbage can or two and even just a few quick clips of the G-Men in their PJs buried in Kleenex. Damn it, the Giants and their fans deserve it. Is it so hard to show a little sympathy to the underdogs?
