New York Giants second-year offensive lineman Evan Neal has not been good in his two seasons in the NFL.
That much is undeniable.
The Giants selected Neal with the No. 7 pick of the 2022 NFL Draft and he’s failed to come close to living up to that billing.
But famed New York City radio host Don La Greca, who co-hosts The Michael Kay Show, took things a step too far on Wednesday.
La Greca went on air and responded to Neal after the Alabama product called out Giants fans for their criticism of him in recent weeks.
Nobody, however, could’ve imagined how far he would take things.

“Are you kidding me?” La Greca yelled. “I’d cut his a**! How dare you? These people pay your salary, they pay an obnoxious amount of money to park, an obnoxious amount of money for PSLs, to sit there and watch this crap? And you call them hamburger flippers?
“You’re so much better? I’d rather have a guy that’s flipping hamburgers block than your piece of garbage **. Who the hell are you to talk to fans like that, you piece of garbage.”
La Greca went on to say that Neal’s sense of superiority is what drove him over the edge.
“I hate when players do that,” he continued. “You’re not above us. What, because you happen to play a sport? You’re better than me? You’re better than the people who pay your salary?
“These Giants fans were here before you and they’ll be here after your sorry a** is cut. What a piece of human trash. I don’t want to hear some apology. I don’t want to hear, ‘Oh, I was taken out of context.’ Done. I would cut his fat a**!”
La Greca’s frustration is understandable to a point. But calling someone “a piece of human trash” feels a bit much. But hey, whatever gets people to listen…
