The New York Giants are launching a challenge flag on Donald Trump.
Like team spokesperson Pat Hanlon, said at Daily Mail, the Saquon Barkley anecdote delivered by Trump during the visit to the White House of the Eagles in Philadelphia on Monday was, indeed, fictitious.
“ I was with the giants and the head coach (Brian Daboll) and some people and I said: “Do everything you need, but don’t lose Saquon,” said Trump about Barkley during the visit to the White House on Monday, where players and coaches were joined by Ivanka Trump and other initiates of Maga.
A little over a year ago, Barkley left the Giants to sign an agreement of $ 37.7 million over three years with the Eagles Rivaux, which were rewarded with a precipitation season of 2000 yards of the All-Pro and a title of the Super Bowl to start.
But, as Hanlon said for the first time, “there was no conversation”.
Constant figure with the giants since the early 90s, Hanlon spoke further online.

“With all the respect I owe you, stop Yapping,” wrote Hanlon on X. “Be the leader we all want to be. And my 401k wants you to be. I try to retire !! ‘
The giants short of the ceiling made the decision difficult to let Barkley walk in 2024 after taking it with the second choice of the 2018 NFL draft.
Unfortunately for Barkley and the Giants, he had a little trouble with injuries in New York, including his tear of the LCA 2020, which required major knee surgery to repair.
The giants faced strong criticism of their failure to keep Barkley, especially after HBO’s hard blows revealed the co -owner John Mara admitting that he had trouble sleeping if Saquon goes to Philadelphia “.
Barkley has since made fun of this comment in an advertisement for a sleep mask.
“Baby Rockabye, awake in your bed,” said Barkley. “Like the idea of 2,000 swirls in your head. It is certainly difficult to lose sleep on football. Not for me, however; Good night to all of you.

Trump has always described himself as having a good spirit for the game. Before choosing the Kansas City chiefs to win the February Super Bowl, the 78 -year -old man made several attempts condemned to become the owner of an NFL team.
In 1983, Trump expressed interest in buying the Baltimore colts, which were not finally sold but were moved to Indianapolis.
A year later, Trump had the chance to buy Dallas cowboys for only $ 50 million but refused, allowing Jerry Jones to acquire the franchise for $ 140 million later in the decade. Now, cowboys rank as the most precious sports team with an assessment of $ 9 billion in Forbes.
And Trump did not only use money to get an NFL team. He also tried to use the lever effect, according to Jeff Pearlman’s book in 2018, ‘Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise and the crazier disappearance of the USFL.
Launched in 1983, the USFL was a spring football league which has a surprising range of talents, including the future political ally of Trump Herschel Walker. A year after the start of the league, Trump would buy the Walker team, the New Jersey Generals, which he would have until the League disappeared in 1986.
The abbreviated story of the USFL is defined by several clear errors, such as the decision to add six new franchises after a promising inaugural season in 1983. But perhaps the more important not to have chosen to spend its season in the fall in 1985 and to directly challenge the NFL – a decision that was strongly influenced by Trump.
“ For the purchase of the team’s purchase, it was all about spring football and the quality of the league, and, ‘I like what the USFL and Blah Blah do, told Pearlman in Dailymail.com in 2018. “He is approved as a owner, he buys the team and immediately:” We have to move to the fall; We have to face the NFL.
“His big line was:” If God wanted football in the spring, he would not have invented baseball. “”

The NFL fire commissioner Pete Rozelle, Trump would have told that he would never have a League team
According to the interviews carried out by Pearlman, the initial Trump plan was that the USFL fold and the NFL absorb the generals as an expansion franchise.
However, during a meeting with the NFL commissioner, Pete Rozelle, at the Pierre de New York hotel in 1984, this plan was thwarted.
“He mainly said to Rozelle,” said Pearlman, “I don’t really give *** about the USFL. I want a NFL team. What should I do to enter the NFL? ”
“It was essentially an offer to throw the USFL under the bus.”
Trump did not get the answer he was looking for.
“Rozelle said to him:” As long as I am the commissioner, you will never have a team, “said Pearlman.” He didn’t trust him. He thought he was scumbag. He didn’t say: “I think you are a scumbag”, but Rozelle made his feelings to Trump. (Rozelle) also made known during the trial when he testified.
The star of the Eagles of Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley, spent time with Donald Trump during the weekend
Trump has spent a good part of today’s visit to spring from the “beautiful” Barkley.
“I wouldn’t want to attack it,” said Trump before shaking the All-Pro hand.
In fact, the two had just played golf together at the president’s Bedminster, the New Jersey Club before climbing the Navy One.
Inevitably, Trump’s ardent criticisms quickly stacked Barkley while spending time with the country’s most powerful man and Monday morning, the Eagles star published an answer.
`LOL some people are really upset because I played golf and I took the plane to the White House with the president, ” wrote Barkley on X.
“Maybe I respect the office, not a concept that is difficult to understand. There is no golf with Obama not so long ago … and I can’t wait to finish my round with Trump!
“Now you go out my mentions with all this policy and have an incredible day.”
