Joe Horn says he felt used by Giants. Rips Giants

[Gazi]

Horn says he did a great job running fake routes and catching passes, but that before he could even get back to the locker room, the Giants had already handed his plane ticket home. He now thinks the Giants never had any intention of signing him and simply put on this show to intimidate their current players.

"I had a great workout, I thought, I ran crisp routes and didn't drop any balls and I did what I was asked to do. It seemed like the coaches liked it, however, before I could step in the locker room I had an itinerary with my flight back to Atlanta ... Honestly I kind of felt like I was brought into give those young guys a spark to say, 'hey I know you've got a job but you can be replaced.' So I think it kind of boosted and gave those young guys a spark to let them know that Joe Horn was there and their playing time could be taken if they don't get their act together....

I'm not trying to talk down on those teams, but I've played 13 years in this league and I know I'm not getting any younger. However, I can still play, I felt good running the routes, but it was kind of shocking to me why... I was asking my agent why would I come in on a Wednesday and be getting prepared to play on a Sunday Night against the Panthers? For the first 10 weeks I didn't foresee that happening. But I took the trip, got on a plane, bumpy flight and all, I hate flying, but I did it because of the opportunity and like I said my reason was to play for a Super Bowl Contender and the Giants called.

Damn, I feel bad for the guy.

Stay classy Giants organization. This was terrible. I hope they get a little karma payback this Sunday night

I never have liked Horn but the Giants did him wrong. Or maybe he is the only one that thought he looked good!

Regardless, he says they had his plane ticket ready to go when he was still on the field. That means they were never serious about signing him

[SorthNarolina]

So the giants are evil because they called a guy in and didn't sign him?

seems like a funny way to look at it

It's obvious they never wanted him.

Maybe his workout in fact, sucked.

according to the link... they said he just wasn't fast enough for what they were looking for I guess.

Well we all know who Horn will be pulling for on Sunday night :ihih:

[2jakefansinva]

You think you feel bad now, Joe......just think how you would have felt Monday morning.

[rayzor]

if you want fast you don't look at joe horn.

they were delusional if they thought that he would be so and evil if they they knew he wasn't but brought him in anyway and used that as an excuse to get rid of him.

[The Link]

Joe Horn is a possession receiver.

They knew that.

Bastards.

Waa waa waa... cry me a river, Joe.

The Giants are not obligated to sign you simply because you have a good workout. Not to mention, there's more to being a team player than just running crisp routes and catching balls. Maybe you should think about that
