The New York Giants are losers of two straight and have also lost their lead in the NFC East, which means they are in desperate need of a Christmas miracle if they wish to sneak into the playoffs.
But head coach Joe Judge, a noted family man, isn’t interesting in having a themed discussion. Yes, it’s Christmas. So what?
“We have the Ravens this weekend,” Judge said Wednesday during an appearance on Good Morning Football. “It’s going to take everything we have to beat them and they’re the only thing that matters to us right now. Look, with all due respect to Christmas, let’s forget about Christmas for a little while and focus on the Ravens.”
Judge’s comments immediately went viral and for those who don’t deal with him on a daily basis, they made him sound like a Grinch.
In reality however, Judge cares a great deal about the holidays and what they mean to both his players and their families. Accordingly, Judge will give the team Christmas morning off and then hold just a short practice in the afternoon.
“It’s important for the players and coaches to be with their children tomorrow morning, to be with their loved ones. That’s going to be watch them open presents, as well as dinner tomorrow night when we’re out of here. We’ve abbreviated the day,” Judge told reporters on Thursday. “Tomorrow will be like 12 to 3 we’re in the building. It’ll be kind of a shortened up Friday. We’re going to kind of supplement some of the time we’re not going to have tomorrow with meetings after practice today to make sure we’re not missing any of the material or information. We’re just rearranging how it is to give us more time on Friday.
The Giants certainly won’t forget about Christmas, but it’s not the priority in their minds at the moment.
