Ugly fight breaks out at New York Giants OTA as Kayvon Thibodeaux throws a punch at teammate
Giants OTA fight turns wild: Kayvon Thibodeaux throws punch, practice shut down So much for a chill offseason workout. What was supposed to be a routine, non-contact OTA session for the New York Giants turned wildly chaotic on Thursday and it all started with a helmet, a punch, and some very overheated tempers. No pads, no tackling, but apparently, no chill either. By the time coaches shut down the practice early, several players had gotten involved, helmets were tossed like dodgeballs, and it was far from just 'competitive fire.' Tensions boiled over when Kayvon Thibodeaux yanked off a helmet and threw a punch The mayhem kicked off when Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux ripped the helmet off offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor and then straight-up threw a punch at him. That's not exactly what OTAs are for. Thibodeaux's move set off a chain reaction. Offensive tackle James Hudson came charging in like a linebacker, tackling Thibodeaux to the ground. And then, boom, Brian Burns, the team's new high-profile pass rusher, jumped in to defend Thibodeaux and went after Hudson. Before you knew it, the fight had spilled to the middle of the field, players were going at it from all sides, and the energy was anything but 'voluntary camp' vibes. With the brawl spreading across the 50-yard line and more teammates piling in, head coach Brian Daboll had no choice but to end the practice early. That almost never happens, especially in no-pad, no-contact drills. But this one clearly crossed a line. Remember, these aren't even mandatory sessions. This was supposed to be a light, chemistry-building week, not a full-contact brawl with punches thrown. Players tried to downplay it afterward but the fight was anything but minor After practice, Brian Burns chalked the fight up to the heat (both literally and emotionally), saying: 'The heat got to us. Tensions raised a little high. But it ain't that deep. We squashed it.' Russell Wilson also played it cool, saying this type of stuff happens and won't carry over. Still, no one denied how intense things got in the moment. It's worth noting: This is the second time during these OTAs that tempers have flared. There was already a shoving match between Burns and Hudson earlier in the day before Thibodeaux escalated things on the next play. The Giants defense has major energy this year with guys like Thibodeaux, Burns, and even rookie Abdul Carter all trying to stand out. But if this is what they're doing in June, the coaching staff will need to keep that fire under control before it burns the house down. The Giants have more OTA sessions scheduled for June 9–10 and 12–13. Whether they're calmer or even more chaotic... we'll have to wait and see.

Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux rips Eagles fans with incendiary comments that could backfire
The Giants are in no place to claim bragging rights over the Super Bowl champion Eagles, but that didn't stop Kayvon Thibodeaux from brutally roasting Philly fans on Kevin Hart's podcast. 'Is it true that Eagles fans are actually, like, not smart?' Thibodeaux asked Hart from an ice bath on a recent episode of the comedian's 'Cold As Balls' show. 'There are statistics that you guys are literally f—ing idiots.' Hart panned to the camera with an incredulous look as Thibodeaux kept going. 'Like, no bulls–t, I know you're one of them, so I get it. Like, 2.2 [GPA], I get it,' the star pass rusher told Hart, a Philadelphia native and diehard Eagles fan. The Giants, of course, finished last season 3-14 and went 0-2 against Philadelphia, which won its second overall Super Bowl with former Big Blue first-round pick Saquon Barkley starring in the backfield. In Thibodeaux's three years in New York, the Giants have a combined record of 18-32-1. The Eagles have gone a combined 39-12 over the same stretch. 5 Kayvon Thibodeaux asked Kevin Hart about Eagles fans. @underdog/X Nonetheless, Thibodeaux seemed to be enjoying the lighthearted banter with Hart on the podcast, which released April 29. Some fans on social media seemed to appreciate the trash talk. 5 Kayvon Thibodeaux in a game in October 2023.

Outside of the anti-Eagles ribbing, the two discussed Thibodeaux's football journey, played a game of chess and debated which position Hart would play in Philly's trademark 'tush push' – all while sitting in side-by-side ice baths. 5 Kayvon Thibodeaux doesn't seem to think highly of Eagles fans. Matthew McDermott The Eagles and Giants will face off on 'Thursday Night Football' in Week 6 – where Thibodeaux will get the chance to back up his jab with a big game. If that doesn't happen? The star pass rusher will surely be reminded of his comments by the ever-rabid Philly faithful.

New York Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux hilariously trolls Philadelphia Eagles fans
New York Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux hilariously trolls Philadelphia Eagles fans New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux is no fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's something he made abundantly clear during Super Bowl media week in early February. "I hate the Eagles, man," he told the New York Post at the time. Although he hates the Eagles, Thibodeaux has been able to give them their But the team's fans? Not so much. Philly fans are notoriously known for their hostility towards opposing players and fans of opposing teams, often taking things too far and sometimes becoming violent. They've even pelted Santa Claus with snowballs. That's something Thibodeaux kept in mind during a recent appearance on Kevin Hart's Cold As Balls. "Is it true that Eagles fans are actually not smart? No (expletive)," Thibodeaux said. "I know you're one of them, so I get it. Like, 2.2 (GPA). I get it. There are statistics that you guys are literally (expletive) idiots." Thibodeaux's comments were clearly tongue-in-cheek, but that didn't stop them from causing a stir on social media. Giants fans found the exchange with Hart hilarious, while Eagles fans took the joke personally. "Why is Kevin Hart even doing sit-downs with a nobody of a player like him?" one Eagles fan griped. "Are there any statistics that show that Kayvon Thibodeaux isn't an overrated crybaby?" another said. The obviously sarcastic banter on a comedy show apparently went over their heads. Thibodeaux and the Giants will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 at MetLife Stadium. It will be interesting to see if these comments resurface around that time.
