There was a time when Osi Umenyiora couldn’t wait to become a free agent. He wanted money he was sure the Giants would never pay him. He wanted respect he was convinced he wouldn’t get in New York.
Two years ago he finally got his wish.
Now he sounds like he wishes he didn’t.
“You know, that’s a question I can’t really answer,” Umenyiora said on Wednesday on a conference call with the New York media. “I think I did what was best for me, and the Giants did what was best for them. That’s pretty much the only way I could answer that.
“Do I wish I was still there? I mean, who knows what would have happened if I was still there? Nobody knows. So I can’t look back at that with regret. And I’m sure they don’t look back at it with regret either.”
Maybe not, but the regret sounded pretty obvious between the hesitations and the sighs, as Umenyiora spoke in advance of his first game at the Meadowlands and against the Giants this Sunday since he left for Atlanta after the 2012 season. It’s become a common theme, especially during the Jerry Reese/Tom Coughlin era. Players who do remarkable things in New York go elsewhere for more money, then watch as their careers begin to die.
Honestly speaking, Prince by all means is a c00n, but if he performs...all is forgiven
that p*ssy prolly feel like
but someone I know got locked up recently.
