Two New York Giants players anonymously told ESPN Wednesday that coach Ben McAddo has lost control of the team.
“He’s got us going 80 percent on Saturdays before we get on a plane to play a game,” one player said. “It’s wild. Changed our off day. He’s dishing out fines like crazy.

McAdoo has been heavily scrutinized amid the Giants’ 1-7 season. The Giants coach gave up his play-calling duties and has been criticized for throwing quarterback Eli Manning under the bus.
More recently, McAdoo was ridiculed for the Giants’ 51-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams — producing this gem when asked what he said at halftime:
The Giants still have eight games left to play.
