Osi Umenyiora rips Mario

Pete Prisco of CBS Sports came out with a list of the top 50 players in the NFL last week. Some of it was predictable (Tom Brady and Peyton Manning first and second), some of it was surprising (Kevin Williams in the top 10), and all of it was designed as a springboard for off-season arguments.

One of those arguments took place on ESPN Radio this morning, where Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora (No. 42 on the list) was a guest. When asked what about that list surprised him, Umenyiora said, "Mario Williams at No. 6." He then added, "This guy right here at No. 6 is just absolutely ridiculous."

Hey Osi, Just get fitted for your new ring and STFU!

Or maybe your name was not handy enough at the time he wrote the top ten to copy and paste and he could spell Mario's entire name from memory with no problems.

Or maybe get back to us after 2008, that's when you will be calling him daddy.
 
For that guy to be on the list is ridiculous!

You sure it ain't from the DQ food? LOL! JK

Honestly, I think #6 is a bit too high for MW

Eh, Osi has a pretty hot wife. That's the only thing that comes to mind from his comments.:cool:
 
We'll see how Osi plays without Strahan helping him out this season...

When Osi wasn't going up against an even bigger USC bust than Saint Reggie he didn't look like a top 50 player last season so he should probably bow down to the superior DE Williams just like Strahan was bowing to him when he was being spoonfed QB in that Eagles/Giants game last season.
 
I believe Osi is still sour after Mario sacked Eli and did the "jump shot" in Giants Stadium.

Oh boy... screen door alert.

***********************************

I don't know that there should be 36 spots separating Mario and Osi, but Mario did have one more sack than Osi AND did it in the AFC and what's more, the AFC South...
 
So Osi is ranked lower on Prisco's list. At least he makes more $$$ than Mario.

Oh wait. He doesn't. :)
 
I think he (Osi) has the right to criticize, but we'll see who ends up having the better career.
 
He wasn't ripping Mario. He was ripping Mario's position on the list. I think that's a big, important distinction.

I love Mario. He's my favorite player in the entire league - but I think 6 was a little high too, just like I think it's ridiculous that DeMeco didn't make the list.
 
"This guy right here at No. 6 is just absolutely ridiculous."


Actually you could say he was giving him a compliment.:D

ridiculous - Originally said by rapper Blasfemus, this pronounciation of the word ridiculous describes something that is at the top level of greatness, insanity, or beauty. from Urban Dictionary :)
 
Well I am not so sure it was a rip on Mario, BUT, come on....you really don't think Mario is the 6th best in the league do you??!! I am by no means ripping on Mario either, but 6th is a bit too high, definately a top 20....
 
He may not have agreed on Mario's position on the list but the way he said it was BS. He said 6 umm no, maybe top 75. I am paraphrasing, will look it up later.

So I think it is a total slap in the face.

I'm kind of with you on this. Taking off my homer glasses for a minute, how can Mario be higher than Jared Allen?

HE shouldn't have been nowhere near #6. He shouldn't have been over Demeco Ryans or Andre Johnson even.

Osi has a good point, but it was sort of a classless thing to say to bash Mario. He could have said that he should have been higher than other DE's without having to call Mario out. That being said though, we'll see what he has to say about ole Mario after this season when Mario REALLY BREAKS OUT!
 
Let's put it this way: If 32 NFL GMs had the choice between Mario & Osi...

...32 are taking Mario.

I'd agree with that.

As far as this list is concerned.........it's freakin bogus! Just another asshat in the media with nothing else to do with his time. At least McChinless goes on vacations and spares us from the mindless drivel that usually spews from his face.

If he is making a list to determine how he would stock a young team going forward I'd take Mario over Allen too....especially since Allen is one strike away from suspension. Besides, Allen only had one more sack than Mario last year and only produced 7 the year before. Mario is 22 and will probably not be that inconsistent going forward based on how he played when the lights came on.

Guy was our best defensive player last year, what I saw!

And with AJ injured, I'd say Mario was our best player last year.
 
say what they want. as long as mario keeps getting better that is fine by me

Williams, the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, did not understand why he did anything wrong. "I didn't know it was a patented move for the Giants," he said. "I apologize. We almost got into a fight on the field."

Whitfield, a 15-year veteran starting in place of Kareem McKenzie, had no problem with Williams. "How hard he clubbed me, I was still dizzy," Whitfield said. "I didn't even see the sack. All of a sudden I felt the hardest little hit on a human body and I just started flying to the right and he smashed Eli. Shoot, he should have crossed over, dribbled, slam-dunked and all that. You get a sack, that's what you're supposed to do."

AJ was hurt, and when he was healthy he was easily our best player. He completely changed our whole offense when he was on the field.

Other than that, I would still roll with Demeco. I just think his leadership was superb and at LB he was able to make more plays.

It's not a knock on Mario or anything, it's just that I thought our other two guys were a little bit more impactful.

I think that we're lucky to have all three! :fans:

How can Mario be higher than DeMeco Ryans is probably a better question. Mario is a good player and I'm happy that he's getting the pub - in part becuase he's earned it but also because it's vindication from the onslaught two years ago. I guess some in the media want to repent for all the Sam Bowie comparisons.

But it's almost like the pendulum is swinging too far the other way. I don't think he's the 6th best player in the league. There's a case to be made that he's only the 3rd best player on his own team.

He's the kind of player that seems to need a rally point so in a way, I'm glad he's in the news in this regard. Maybe the nay-saying from a peer about his position on this list will help his hula vision. Whatever it takes.

You'll get no argument from me - I agree with all the above points.
I especially think the repent thing is really on the money.
 
Osi has a point and Mario was rated way too high, but Osi should probably stfu and get back to doing what he does best, taking craps on women's chests.

very classy osi. you are just another dumb subhuman degenerate with a pile of money and your mother should be ashamed of you...

mario = right outside the Top 20 in the NFL
osi = degenerate scumbag
