00:00So here's John Mara, the Giants obviously are keeping Ryan D'Abel and Joe Shane.

00:05Now there's a couple of different clips thrown in here of Mara really being asked about these

00:10guys and every answer it sounds more and more like he didn't want to keep them.

00:14I have no idea why he did.

00:16Here's John Mara.

00:17Because we stunk this year, okay?

00:20The results on the field were not what we wanted them to be.

00:22There were a number of factors that went into that.

00:25A lot of that has already been discussed with the coach and with Joe and will continue to

00:30be discussed.

00:31But I liked what I heard from them on Friday afternoon.

00:36I like what their plan is going forward.

00:40We're going to stay with them.

00:41It gets better.

00:42Do these guys come back on the hot seat now?

00:43You guys are going to have them number one on the hot seat going forward.

00:46So no matter how I answer that question, we're going to have to see.

00:51I'm going to have to be in a better mood this time next year than I am right now.

00:56How long will it take to improve the product, John?

00:59It better not take too long, Bruce, because I've just about run out of patience.

01:05I've just about run out of patience.

01:07You could have fired him yesterday.

01:09You could have been done with it.

01:11No one would have thought the wiser.

01:13This is the most anemic thing I think I've seen on this show in two years.

01:18We've been here five.

01:20It's the most anemic thing I think I've ever seen.

01:23It's just tremendous.

01:24It really is.

01:25I mean, let's face it, guys.

01:26Joe Shane and Brian Dable are awful.

01:29They're awful.

01:30I don't care who they effing draft.

01:33Here's where this is a problem.

01:35First of all, they're picking third, and there's only two quarterbacks everyone likes.

01:39So they're already behind the eight ball with that.

01:41Then you're going to give up a bunch of assets for two guys that maybe aren't even as good

01:45as all the quarterbacks that were drafted last year.

01:48You have no idea.

01:49And the next thing is, if you bring in a rookie quarterback, what, do they think they're going

01:53to win 11 games next year with a rookie quarterback?

01:56So are you firing them if they don't make the playoffs next year, but they win six or

02:00seven games?

02:01They won three this year.

02:02That would be an improvement.

02:04What's the line?

02:05He has set himself up to where, well, you're going to fire everybody next year, then start

02:10over again?

02:11It's just nonsense.

02:12It really is.

02:13These guys just can't figure it out sometimes.

02:14They just can't figure it out.

02:17Neighbors did set a giant record with 108 catches.

02:20So I guess that was an okay.

02:21And he's miserable.

02:22Oh, he's miserable.

02:23Well, here's the deal, kid.

02:24Here's the deal.

02:25I know you're just a young kid.

02:28So here's how it works.

02:30You got drafted by the Giants and they own you.

02:36They own you.

02:37You're not going anywhere, bro.

02:40You think you have some kind of juice as a first year completed rookie season that you

02:47have juice because you caught all these passes from 10 different quarterbacks?

02:53No one listens to you at all.

02:56You're just going into your second year.

02:59You're going to play five years with the Giants whether you like it or not.

03:02You need to catch up, bro.

03:03This ain't like college football.

03:05You can move around and play for whoever you want.

03:08This is the NFL.

03:09They own you.

03:10I mean, honestly, it's like there's nothing I'm missing here.

03:15They own your ass.

03:17You're going nowhere, dude.

03:19Get used to it.

03:20You don't like New York.

03:21You know what you should do?

03:23You should party in New York and quit worrying about the Giants.

03:28You know what you should do?

03:29You should become Beckham.

03:30I mean, he never played hard in New York.

03:32He just partied and got laid.

03:34Why don't you just start going out and partying and getting laid?

03:37Because it's New York City, son.

03:39You can live large with that kind of money you got and that's celebrity.

03:42But no one gives a rat's ass about your career with the Giants because the Giants are hair

03:47dryer city.

03:49You're never winning with the Giants, kid.

03:50What you need to do is start partying.

03:52You need about five or six lovers in Manhattan.

03:55You lie to all of them, just keep living large.

03:57Penthouse, son.

03:59I got that right too, didn't I?
