Rivera apologies to Tom Coughlin for our players' behavior after the game (from here).  

Quote

"I'm sorry about my guys' behavior, coach. You did a great job," Rivera said on Showtime's "Inside the NFL." 

Don't read into it that he is admitting that our guys truck first etc, I don't think that is what is going on here.  Just goes to show what a great coach Rivera is, and how lucky we are to have him.  

No idea how to embed videos from Vine, but here is a video with sound: https://vine.co/v/iAamEg39bFn

I kind of disagree with Ron here.  Seems to me like Coughlin should have taken OBJ out a play or two and had a man to man talk.  I mean OBJ was punching people out there before the helmet to helmet hit.

Edit: But I guess Ron can't apologize for what Coughlin's player's did.  Still it seems like Coughlin could have apologized too.

I don't think saying "Sorry for how our guys behaved" at all implies that "Your guys were faultless."

It is indisputable that Norman lost his cool, though I think anyone reasonable would have, as well.

Really? What BS. I'd agree with that statement as far as trash talking goes, but the Giants seem to be using Panthers trash talk as an excuse for Beckham's actions. Trying to justify his fouls as "the way the game's played" is a big fat crock of poo, and goes directly against Coughlin's rep as a disciplinarian.

From the article:

Quote

“It’s not fair, it’s not justice, it’s not the way it was,” Coughlin said. “If you’re naive enough to think that way, you better do some soul searching yourself. Beckham certainly was wrong and we said he was wrong from day one. But there were factors involved starting in pregame, which are well documented, which indicate there was an attempt to provoke him. He was provoked, he was out of control, he was wrong, no doubt about that but … there are two sides to this not just one.”

To be clear Tom, what you actually said from Day One was that you didn't know Beckham was the one drawing the penalties.

(and for the record, you look like a total ass right now)

Those comments are Coughlin's swan song. They can't beat the Vikings without Odell, which means they're eliminated from playoff contention, which likely means Coughlin is fired. And all old Tom can say about it is bumbling confused ramblings to blame everyone but himself.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
