“You guys give up the best player in the NFL this year and tell the GM’s son right to his face to draft Jayden Daniels.

This was just the beginning for these two as Thibodeaux added, “I’m shooting any old head that mentions the Giants from here out.” But this led to more Bryant.

“The only player out there that is (sic) legit is Malik Nabers…Other than that, sorry to break it mate, you guys are terrible,” Bryant said. “Cut all that political shit!..they better not trade up your ass the way you’re blowing up…cut the buddies out…I bet I don’t see you looking for a trade or a cut.”

Thibodeaux tried to cool the tension, but Bryant persisted.

An NFL fan eventually asked what the two were promoting about.
