Matt Lombardo is a former Philly guy who used to cover the Birds and work at 97.5 the Fanatic. He’s now on the Giants beat for Fansided and had a moment with new head coach Brian Daboll at Monday’s introductory press conference:

Daboll is just joking here, we think. We’re 99.9% sure. But you never know with these hard ass head football coaches. Some of them do the fake tough guy “leader of men” thing like Joe Judge did, and then you see where that gets you. It gets you two seasons, then you’re fired and applying for the head coach job at Triton Regional High School, in the great borough of Runnemede. Go Mustangs!

What Matt should have done here is said, “listen pal, I don’t work for you, now answer this question – how are you gonna turn around this pitiful embarrassment of a franchise?” Then Daboll would have known who he’s really fucking with. I don’t know anything about the Buffalo media, but you’re in New York now buddy. These media members don’t mess around. And Daboll has to take that steaming pile of garbage and turn it into something respectable. Josh Allen ain’t walking through that door. You’ve got Danny Dimes and a bunch of underperforming receivers to work with. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, but in this case Daboll has been given a Weis bag full of moldy and inedible grapes.

Anyway, we need a recurring bit we can use for Daboll. I had a lot of fun with the “Joe Judge is a disgrace to Lansdale” thing, and I’m honestly kind of disappointed I can’t do that anymore. So let’s think of something we can use to hammer Daboll over and over again. Nothing personal against the guy, but he coaches the Giants now, so he’s public enemy #1. He’s on the shit list.

Go Birds.
