Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux on Cowboys, NFC East: 'They can all burn'
There's never been any love lost between the two franchises, but with the Giants a shell of their former selves, they've been forced to suffer in silence over the past decade.
No more, says linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux.
After a week-long feud with Dez Bryant that has played out on social media, Thibodeaux appeared on radio row at Super Bowl LIX alongside teammate Bobby Okereke and laid into the Cowboys.
'(Expletive) the Cowboys,' Thibodeaux told Zach Gelb. 'Much love to Dez. He's a media connoisseur and me, you know, I just like to roast people. When (the) offseason comes and I've got a little more free time, why not give the fans something to see?'
The back-and-forth between Thibodeaux and Bryant began during the NFC Championship Game and continued over the course of a week-plus. At one point, Bryant suggested the 'rap' in person, which Okereke admits he'd like to see.
'Charity boxing match,' the veteran suggested. 'Coming soon.'
Meanwhile, Thibodeaux acknowledged that the beef isn't over and likely won't be for some time.
'No, the beef is never over. As long as he represents the Cowboys the beef will never be over,' Thibodeaux said. 'There's no personal beef but all just Cowboys-Giants beef. There's just no room for a Cowboy.'
Asked if Dallas is the team he hates most, Thibodeaux initially said 'no' but then went on to address the NFC East as a whole.
'I hate the Eagles more,' he said. 'Honestly, I hate them all equal. They can all burn. I hate them all equal.'
Maybe, just maybe, Thibodeaux can help give the Giants back an edge they've been missing over the past 10-plus years. The players should hate the Cowboys. And the Eagles. And the Commanders. That's what NFC East football is all about.

Ian Rapoport believes Packers would be 'really interested' in trading for Cowboys DE Micah Parsons
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network believes the Green Bay Packers would be one of the teams "really interested" in trading for Dallas Cowboys star defender Micah Parsons, who has requested a trade while attempting to negotiate a new mega deal with the Cowboys. "I would expect that the Packers would be among the teams interested and I would expected the Packers among the teams really interested," Rapoport said Monday on "The Pat McAfee Show." Rapoport said he did not think the Cowboys have received official offers for Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, because Dallas has so far rebuffed Parsons' trade requests. But if the Cowboys decided to deal Parsons, Rapoport sees the Packers as an ideal fit. "They have money to spend, and they are really good," Rapoport said. "That's the kind of team that I would say, if Micah was going to be traded, that he would be going to. We need one final piece. This guy is an absolute dog. He's worth all the money so pay him all the it'd be worth it, because you get Micah Parsons." Rapoport said the trade package for Parsons would almost certainly look like the Chicago Bears' trade for Khalil Mack seven years ago. The Bears had to send two first-round picks and two other picks to the Raiders to get Mack before the 2018 season. The draft capital is one thing, but any team trading for Parsons would need to agree to make him the highest paid non-quarterback in the sport. Brian Gutekunst was in on Mack back in 2018, but he's also mentioned the difficulty of trading premium draft capital and spending big cap dollars on a veteran trade. Parsons is an undeniably elite talent and could be worth taking the risk. The competition for Parsons on the trade market would be strong. Rapoport said there are several expected playoff teams that might need one more piece who would likely be interested in trading for the Cowboys star.

Chiefs documentary delivers expected satisfying ending for the Eagles faithful
Is it strange to state Eagles fans were more pumped for ESPN's The Kingdom than Chiefs fans were? There is only one thing capable of equaling the satisfying feeling of watching the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. That's watching the Eagles destroy the Chiefs again in a documentary. Thank Heaven for NFL Films, and thank you to everyone involved in the making of an ESPN original. Most of you know this. The 'worldwide leader in sports' lent its cameras to follow the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The goal was to gain unprecedented access to their quest for an unprecedented 'three-peat'. There isn't a Birds fan walking who doesn't know how that ended up. The entire series is available for streaming on ESPN+ and Disney+. If you're like most Birds fans, you'll find the most satisfaction in skipping the first five episodes and diving right into the finale. ESPN's The Kingdom offers the Eagles fan base a wildly satisfying and expected ending to a good documentary In The Pursuit, the sixth and final episode of The Kingdom, we find Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and company traveling to New Orleans to face Philadelphia on football's most significant and grandest stage. There isn't a Birds fan in the Delaware Valley or anywhere else on Planet Earth who hasn't seen FOX's presentation of Super Bowl LIX more than once. Still, even with all of that being the case, you have to watch this one anyway. Seeing the annihilation in documentary form is indescribable. ESPN's goal was to capture the Chiefs' pursuit and fulfillment of their destiny. What ESPN had hoped for was an epic commemorating history, but an inspired Eagles team had other plans. Destiny's new darling throttled the champs, the best quarterback of his era, and the man who might be the second most excellent coach of all time. All in all, The Kingdom is a pleasant viewing experience. It doesn't hurt anything that the right team won. It's an excellent watch, but it also leads to two questions. Is it strange to state Eagles fans were more excited about this doc than the Chiefs were? Is it weird to say the upset made for a better and more intriguing ending? The answer to those questions is 'yes' and 'yes'. With that, Philadelphia begins its push for another run at glory as the defending champs, even if they have no interest in being identified as such.
