As you probably heard, in a move that was inevitable and more than likely finalized with the benching of Eli Manning, New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo, along with the team’s GM Floyd Reese, were fired on Monday.
Considering that everyone from the granddaughter of the Giants founder, Kate Mara to several former Giants players and even Philip Rivers thought the Manning benching was a horrible move, coupled with a 2-10 record, McAdoo and Reese’s firing comes as little surprise.
Even the owner of the team, John Mara, was reportedly P.O’d about it.
Which, of course, has led to much speculation that the Geno Smith era in New York has finally, and mercifully, come to an end.
As for the rest of the internet, much like when Jeff Fisher finally got the axe in Los Angeles, the reactions to the Giants firings have been comedy gold. (And almost as good as reactions to rumors Fisher is heading to UCLA.)

Me? I’m just happy McAdoo is gone so I will stop referring to him as BOB McAdoo, the former NBA star, who until BEN came along was the only McAdoo I had ever heard of before in my life.
