Ex-Giants GM Dave Gettleman calls media draft analysts ‘clowns’

And you thought you’d never see Gettleman in this space again

Former New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman called media NFL Draft analysts “clowns” in comments made to the @InsideTheLeague newsletter run by Neil Stratton.

“I finally broke down and got a subscription to The Athletic because it was a $1 a month, but it’s like anything else. You got this guy giving every team grades, but you gotta be kidding me. Who are you? What have you done? When have you put your nuts on the line?”

I am not going to rehash every bit of Gettleman’s failed tenure as GM of the Giants. We will just leave it at the fact that the Giants went 19-46, a .292 winning percentage, and never won more than six games in a season.

Gettleman also said this about adjusting to life outside football after roughly four decades in the game:

“You know, really and truly, I miss the people. It’s kinda fascinating. People told me it would take me at least a year to get settled, and they were absolutely right on the money. It’s amazing how the emails, texts and calls stop, It’s like you died.”
