So much for being a team player.
“I’m not going to be a back up player, I can promise you that,” Umenyiora said. “I’ll stop playing football before I do that ever again. This has been just the worst offseason of my entire life. I can’t even think of a time when things were this bad during the offseason. You’re supposed to be relaxing, but I can’t relax because all I can think of is the things that took place last season, you understand? So for me it’s not something that I’m going to do. If I’m asked to come back there and do that then I’ll just stop playing football.”
Nice, Osi. That’s the type of attitude that helps build championship teams. Not happy with coming off the bench? Then throw a tantrum, take your ball, and go home.
I guess this doesn’t really give the Giants much choice going into next season, but then again, Osi sucked so bad last season that maybe they don’t even want him anymore. You’ve gotta think a fully-recovered, healthy Osi would be good enough to start, but if he isn’t, I won’t be surprised if the Giants tell him to take a hike. The nice thing about football is, unlike the NBA, the team always trumps the player.
Honestly, it’s amazing how selfish and impulsive these guys are. Osi sounds like a fucking 10-year-old.
