"I can't throw the ball to my fuccing self"-Nicks

[BigE214]

Hakeem Nicks' homecoming in North Carolina turned into a nightmare. In the New York Giants' 38-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the wide receiver was targeted only once, and that was a throwaway byEli Manning.

Nicks, a former Tar Heel who grew up nearby, didn't have a single catch. As Nicks' teammate Victor Cruz pointed out, itwas a day in which "everything went wrong" for the Giants. Nicks tried to be careful with his words after the game.

"It's part of the game," he said, via Charles Chandler of the The Star-Ledger (Newark, N.J.). "You've got to control what you can control. I can't throw it to my fukking self."

And Manning can't block for himself. The Giants have been the worst team this side of Jacksonville this season, and New York is not an easy place to play when things aren't going well.

Tom Coughlin, informed of the quote on Monday, was not pleased.

"I'll talk to him. That's not a smart thing to say," Coughlin said.

Coughlin faces one of the biggest challenges of his career in the coming weeks. The Giants players have to be careful not to turn on each other

Coughlin don't get no respect from his players, I expect an even worse statement in the future.

Eli should take the blame since his team carried him to the super bowl twice its the least he can do

Maybe because I'm a Tar Heel stan, but it seems, so far this year anyways that Eli prefers Victor, Randle, and Myers to Hakeem. Always throwing them high or leading Hakeem into tough catches where he usually gets fukkin rocked by defenders. Nicks is trying to get that payday after this season and Eli is fukkin up his money.

Back when they went on that crazy run to beat the perfect Pats dude was thisclose to losing his job and having a mutiny on his hands. That SB saved his job and "smoothed" everything over but if this shyt keeps up you will see what I'm talkin bout.

Steve Smith was on a prominent North Carolina sports radio program today. He said in no uncertain terms that the NYFG might be trying to screw over Nicks. Hope that's not the case.

Teams really do try and drop the price on players
