Whereas his predecessor, Jerry Reese, was often surly, Gettleman has become an affable representative for the New York Giants. That’s important because when your team continues to flounder in last place, it makes zero sense to be at war with the media.
That dynamic came into play on Wednesday, when Gettleman met with the assembled media for his end-of-season press conference.
Now the bigger problem for Gettleman, and by extension, the franchise, comes from the fact that the current message appears eerily similar to the previous message(s) under Reese. Mainly, that the New York Giants were victims of bad luck and unfortunate bounces in 2018.
