The past few weeks, it’s been “Golden Tate this” and “Golden Tate that,” but not because of his on-field performances. The seemingly frustrated New York Giants wideout voiced his displeasure during the team’s Week 8 loss to Tampa Bay, ultimately screaming “throw me the damn ball” towards the sideline and then “throw me the ball” into ESPN’s end zone camera.
His outburst led to the Giants providing him with scout team reps in practice last week and his eventual deactivation for Week 9’s matchup with Washington.
Nevertheless, the punishment is now over, and Tate is owning up to his wrongful actions and looking to move forward.
