After an impressive showing during the 2022 NFL season with new head coach Brian Daboll at the helm, the New York Giants looked like a team on the rise again, as the future was finally looking bright for the storied franchise in the post-Eli Manning era.
Although quarterback Daniel Jones left something to be desired at the quarterback position, the Giants still had star running back Saquon Barkley coming out of the backfield. They were winning games and went on to upset the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL playoffs.
Even though the Giants were eliminated by the rival Philadelphia Eagles in the next round, New York had shown a lot of promise, and that was all the team’s brass could ask for moving forward.
Unfortunately for the Giants, the team reverted to being a disappointment in 2023, and after a forgettable season, lost Barkley in NFL free agency, to the Eagles of all teams.
Now, the Giants are being featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” the first version of the acclaimed series that follows an NFL front office during the offseason. It hasn’t been a good look for the Giants, who have made questionable moves, which has led Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio to believe that owner John Mara is a problem.
“The Giants are being run by a buffoon!” Schein said. ” A complete and utter buffoon who has no idea what’s going on, which is why when you look at their wins and losses since the last Super Bowl, it’s a joke!”
“The Giants are being run by a buffoon!”@AdamSchein says John Mara is the main reason for the New York Giants consistent failure this past decade.

Whenever a dysfunctional team gets featured on a show like “Hard Knocks,” there’s bound to be some criticism, which is why teams want to avoid being chosen at all costs these days, because it is an added distraction and can turn out to be a disaster.
The Giants got no favors by being featured on the show, and now the backlash has begun, especially after the way the organization handled the Barkley situation.
