this whole feud definitely makes me miss football. Can't wait for the next Giants-Eagles game.New York Giants Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora and Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy have had some choice words for each other, which started when McCoy called Osi "soft" on Twitter.
It has definitely escalated since that moment.
Osi responded via the New York Times, referring to McCoy as "she," "Lady Gaga," and "Chihuahua." In comments to ESPN New York, Osi clarified what he meant.
"I refer to him as she because that is something that a woman would do," Umenyiora said. "You can sit over there and be a Twitter gangster all you want to but on the football field is where you are supposed to address these types of things."
Twitter gangster. Classic.
He also explained the Lady Gaga remarks. Sort of.
"I have always referred to him as that because he is woman," Umenyiora explained. "We have a lot of animosity toward each other personally and on the football field is where I thought it was left. But he has decided to take it off the football field and say some things that I just have no respect for."
I'm not really sure why it's Lady Gaga, unless it's also a shot against her due to the rumors that she is actually a man.
Whatever the reason, it's clear Osi has no respect whatsoever for McCoy.
"Whenever a guy like an Andy Reid or a Michael Vick or a Jason Peters, whenever they come out and say some things like that, that might hurt me," Umenyiora added. "But a guy like LeSean McCoy, he's a nobody. He just needs to be quiet."
"Yeah, me and him, we had words on the field—both times we played. I hate him, he hates me, period," Umenyiora said. "He chose to take that off the field and make it public when it's something that's between me and him. It's something we can address on the football field. He let the whole world know about it, so I'm going to respond.
"He called me an 'African [blank].' It was bad. I said a couple of things to him. I don't remember exactly what I said, but it was rough," Umenyiora added. "This is a very violent and physical game. You're attacking each other, you're hitting each other. Things are going to get heated, especially against Philly…This year was the worst in my eight-year career as far as animosity toward that team. There's a real hatred toward Philly and there's a real hatred for them toward us. So it was rough out there. But I feel things like that stay on the football field. Off the field, we respect each other because at the end of the day we're all brothers. But he decided to take it so far that there's no going back from it now."
If you thought the Eagles-Giants games were heated before, you haven't seen anything yet.
