Giants’ Theo Johnson appears at Knicks game after being ruled out: ‘I am not sick’

He has gone full Kadarius Toney.
Never go full Toney boys.
Giants have since issued statement saying Theo Johnson isnt actually sick. NFL investigation into this shitshow is expected.
The craziest thing about this story is he is not great and if we wanted to tank his hands would 100% be in the game
This organization is a constant embarrassment, and Mara is apparently okay with being remembered for it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy isn’t good enough to be causing this many issues. Another Joe Schoen masterclass pick
From the article: “Editor’s note: On Saturday morning, the Giants released a statement saying Theo Johnson has an infection and is not sick with the flu or COVID-19, where he would be required to quarantine.”
So this post is not only highly misleading/false, it shows what happens when you apparently get caught tanking. No, the fanbase won’t be happy. They will be just as angry as ever and use the tanking as fuel to hate the organization even more.
There are dishonest people who are going to be angry no matter what happens, do not let them influence you.
At least the Raiders have a plausible excuse with Crosby, since he was always injured.
This idiot goes to a Knicks game when he is supposedly sick, and then tells everyone he isn’t sick.
Of course trying to tank after losing out on 1 OA is such a Giants thing to do.
We are 3-13 and somehow still finding new ways to embarrass ourselves
Incompetently run organization
I’m not sure how he’s a better TE than Bellinger.
Belli has and will always be MY TE1
We never said he’d have an illness on Friday night to be fair, just Sunday
Tanking actions aside, Johnson is gone because of this, right? There’s no way Mara lets this dude stick around
He would be if he watched his game tape
While this doesn’t look great, everyone’s acting like every illness is contagious or that he’s still not recovering. There are GI issues, flu where you’re past the infection period but still recovering/not in the state to play football but fine to do daily activities, etc.
Why would they sit this guy? He’s not good to begin with.
Another Schoen Masterclass
Fucking moron is going to cost us some picks.
Bro Theo Johnson is not that good for all this attention lmao.
The week to force tank moves was last week… This organization is such a disaster. There’s never a coherent plan in place.
I hate this organization. Nothing ever changes lmao.
Fucking idiot. Cut him
This is the dumbest outcome for team and player. Unless Theo is missing out on someone bonus by not playing (either games played, catches, snaps, etc) just be a good soldier and keep your mouth shut.
Honestly, let’s not hate on Theo he is giving the Giants a reason to can Schoen.
We are sick of him not catching balls.
Joe Schmo is such a joke, man.
Tanking is a blight on the sport and joe schoen deserves consequences from the league office.
😂😂😂 what a shit show circus
Oh, so NOW we’re tanking?
It’s more of a mental illness. We know it as the yips. If left untreated it could lead to a contract extension from Joe Schoen.
Who cares…
I just don’t get why he doesn’t wait 3 days. Like do your part and keep the team from looking even worse.
I understand they don’t want to win this game (I don’t either) but Theo Johnson isn’t exactly the key to our success anyway… why not do this to a more important player
Will we get penalized for this shit
Bizarre how many people are mad at and blaming Johnson when the Giants simply could’ve not lied in the first place. They’re the ones who are the root cause of this, not him.
