Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, New York Giants legend Michael Strahan interviewed Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley on the FOX NFL Sunday pregame show.
At the end of that interview, Strahan did the unthinkable.

“We’re going to ‘fly, Eagles fly’ for Saquon Barkley,” Strahan said as he waived the Eagles flag.
It was a shocking new low for the Giants, who closed out the worst and most humiliating season in franchise history. To see their all-time sack leader, captain, and Hall of Famer waiving the enemy’s flag was a gut punch.
Strahan’s stunt furiously angered Giants fans, but retired wide receiver Amani Toomer says there was more to it than just support for Barkley.

“That’s a shot across the bow; that’s a warning shot,” Toomer said on Bart & Carlin. “We want results. We want to be proud of the organization that we shed blood, sweat, and tears (for). We’re not just going to waive the pom-poms if we don’t feel like it’s a product that is worth waiving the pom-poms for.
“That’s why we’re holding them accountable like they held us accountable for 13 of my years and 15 of Strahan’s years. So, don’t be mad at that. Don’t let the anger fall away from where it should be.”
Asked about Strahan’s actions and Toomer’s comments, Giants legend Carl Banks expressed an understanding of each.
“He’s not lying,” Banks wrote on X. “Michael can speak for himself. I do know that none of us are pleased with the state of the Giants.”
This is a precarious position for the Giants to be in. Their legends are so disgusted with the state of the franchise that they have found it acceptable to waive the Eagles flag. And while that has enraged some Giants fans, there is another subsection that has become so numb they, too, rooted for the Eagles.
The Giants should be embarrassed from the top down.
