New York Giants co-owner John Mara called Eagles RB Saquon Barkley over a commercial trolling him and explained his one gripe with it.
One of the more memorable moments from the 2024 NFL season had nothing to do with anything that happened on the field. Back in July, HBO aired an offseason
Saquon Barkley’s commercial poking fun at John Mara’s sleepless nights gets a lighthearted reaction from the Giants owner.
The Giants are missing Saquon Barkley more than just on the field during this 3-13 season. It's in the locker room where some believe there may be the biggest void.
Running back Saquon Barkley had a beautiful trajectory with the New York Giants, where he played for six seasons. For the most part, it was a team decision to let him walk in free agency. Welp, revenge time has come.
"For me the biggest part of losing Saquon was the locker room aspect," tight end Daniel Bellinger said in ESPN's story. "Just having him as a leader and a guy that when there were times like, what do we do, he would be like 'Go play!' He brought an energy that sometimes we needed out there."
One sleeping aids company saw the perfect opportunity for some saucy marketing from the Barkley-Giants saga and teamed up with the Philadelphia Eagles star to make a clever ad that seemed to poke fun at Giants owner John Mara.
Now is not the time, Saquon Barkley says. Reflection comes at the end of this season, no matter the meaningfulness of its milestones. He’s resisting the sound of them toppling like towers. He won’t peek at the panorama of his production.
Giants owner John Mara famously said he's have trouble sleeping if Saquon Barkley joined the Eagles – well, that's what happened, and the running back wants to help.
Now, with the Eagles opting to rest Saquon Barkley and most or all of their top players for Sunday’s game, the Giants will go against mostly backups.
The New York Giants will be spared the ignominy of Saquon Barkley challenging for the single-season rushing record against them in Week 18. However, the
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is just 101 yards away from the single-season rushing record and could break it against the New York Giants.
