00:00And right out of the gate, the New York Giants embarrass themselves and decide to, frankly,
00:09do wrong by a guy who's been a consummate professional on this roster since 2019.
00:16Good afternoon, Big Mac. How are you today, kid?
00:18I'm doing fantastic. Great to be back, Craig. Great to have you back.
00:21Yes, good to be here.
00:22It felt like you stopped working at the station for a while, but I'm glad you're back.
00:25I enjoyed it.
00:26As a matter of fact, I enjoyed every bit of it.
00:29I got a lot of wood, got a lot of wood left to chop.
00:32I was in L.A. for a couple of days with Little Wayne and more or less stayed in my
00:37backyard
00:38and didn't do all that much.
00:41That being said, the New York Giants did Darius Slayton wrong.
00:45Darius Slayton, I know he had too many drops for most Giant fans.
00:48I get that. I understand that.
00:50For every Giant fan.
00:51Then that's fine. And that's part of his resume here.
00:54Yes, it is.
00:54As a New York Giant, started in 2019, 700 yards, 700 yards, 700 yards, 700 yards.
01:02Only 37 catches the last couple of years, 37, 39.
01:07But what did Darius Slayton do to the New York Giants that they would mistreat him
01:13and make it hard for him to remain a starting wide receiver in the NFL?
01:18And then further than that, now that you've cut Darius Slayton, who's better than Darius Slayton
01:26that's going to be an every-game wide receiver for the New York Giants?
01:31Ain't going to be Malik Neighbors.
01:32Why not?
01:33You hope it is.
01:34Don't you think that this is a signal that Malik Neighbors is healthy and going to play?
01:37No. To me, this is a signal.
01:39No? You don't think this is a signal that Fields is the number two and they feel good about him?
01:43Like, there is no depth.
01:45We've talked about it.
01:46None whatsoever.
01:47There is no depth at this wide receiver position.
01:48They just released, or cut, or whatever, the only wide receiver on the roster
01:54that's, like, played any snaps with the quarterback, right?
01:58You mentioned it.
01:59He is, I don't know, what, I think it's three of the last five years,
02:02has led the team in receiving yards?
02:04Like, this is a guy who's been a professional.
02:06I do think he's had some killer drops, but he's been a solid wide receiver
02:10as a fifth-round pick for the New York Giants.
02:12But the time was over.
02:13It was over.
02:14He looked terrible in camp.
02:16He clearly was down from the organization, down on the coach,
02:20and down on the depth chart to the point where I guess they were probably trying to move him
02:24and seeing if they could get something for him
02:27until they had finally decided that that was a fruitless endeavor
02:30and they decided to cut him.
02:31But this is the NFL.
02:32This is a professional sports league.
02:34You get cut when you get cut.
02:36They didn't do anything wrong to him.
02:37They did.
02:37He'll get picked up somewhere.
02:39Oh, yeah, sure.
02:39It was a little surprising to see him get cut yesterday.
02:42The NFL kicks off tomorrow night with a repeat of last year's Super Bowl
02:46during the Patriots-Seattle Seahawks.
02:48And then Thursday, of course, we get the Australia game with the Rams and the Niners.
02:52Yeah, he'll be okay.
02:53Yeah, he'll be okay.
02:54What did Darius Slayton do to deserve for the New York Giants to wait until 24 hours before the season
03:02begins
03:02to cut him from the team, making it very hard for him to join a team
03:07where he's going to have a chance to really play?
03:09Because as you know, most rosters, 98%, 99% set 24 hours before week one.
03:17They screwed Darius Slayton.
03:19I'll tell you this.
03:21Memo to every single player that plays for the New York Giants.
03:25You might be next.
03:26Yeah.
03:27You might be next.
03:28I hope they get that message.
03:30You might be next.
03:31That's the exact message I hope they all get.
03:33Listen, don't worry about showing up and being a professional.
03:36Don't worry about outperforming where you got drafted.
03:39Don't worry about being a great teammate.
03:41The new sheriff is in town and he might cut you right before the season starts
03:47and you might be next.
03:48What a terrible way to win over a locker.
