Loading ...Earlier this week, it was revealed by ESPN that during a recent taping of E:60, Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy -often referred to as "Lady Gaga" by the New York Giants defense- called Osi Umenyiora a "ballerina in a Giants uniform." When pressed about the comment on Thursday, Umenyiora refused to take the bait. Instead, he opted to take the "high road."
"I'm taking the high road," Umenyiora said. "I'm a company man now. Talk is cheap, play the game."
But the big question remains: will he be wearing the ballerina slippers on Sunday night?
"No. Don’t wanna slip, gonna make me look even worse," Chief Osi said, admitting that the ballerina joke was a "good, clean" shot.
This new PR friendly Osi Umenyiora sure is a drastic change from what once was. Then again, with one sack and only three tackles on the season, perhaps he realizes it's better not to sound off. Either way, from an entertainment standpoint, he's become boring. Alas, the team doesn't necessarily want a comedian, they want an All-Pro defensive end. And if quieting down helps him perform better on the field, then we're all for it. But boy oh boy… we sort of long for the days when he made milk shoot out of our nose.
Kidding aside, expect Umenyiora to have a huge game on Sunday night. He's ready to break out and his disdain for the Eagles makes this the perfect opportunity.

The most dumped on active player in team history
Know why I can’t watch all these pregame shows and listen to all these jerks? Because they’re all now discussing Joe Flacco being an elite QB. The proof? Proof you want?. In his 1st 4 years he won more games ( 44) than Marino and whoever.
The fact that I could have won at least 25 games with that defense doesn’t count for anything does it? Ugh.
Lol. Just thought the same thing. In flacco’s defense, he’s played well so far this season.
Elite? Not a chance.
Damn good QB who has developed a symbiotic relationship with the Ravens’ defense by making it look better than it is while also benefitting from its stoutness? You betcha.
I don’t think he’s in the top 5, but he’s sure in the next rung down, along with Matt Ryan, Tony Romo and Jay Cutler. I’d add Dalton to that list if he wasn’t a 2nd year QB.
They really just play that silly cee lo song again?
Pathetic, isn’t it?
Just awful,
I used to really like cee lo back in the day when he was a rapper with goodie mob. Doungeon family crew and all those ATL rappers in the 90′s.
But now hes on some other $hit.
No one knew who cee lo was 3 years ago. But he’s been around for a long time.
And once again… Someone needs to get his fata$$ off the tv.
DO YOU LOVE FOOOOOTBAWWWL????
Josh Cribbs might be dead.
flacco!
Wow, that was an atrocious throw by Joe Flacco. Does he have an eye condition that prevents him from seeing orange on a green background or something?
I’ll tell you what–the Browns are giving the Ravens all they can handle. That D looks stingy.
Short week for Bmore, and to be honest, I think they’re really overrated anyway. Cleveland hasnt played all that bad this year.
I’m not sure what the ravens gameplay is but it’s terrible. They have the best RB in e nfl yet choose NOT to give him the rock.
Sounds like the way the Eagles misuse Lesean…
The Browns win that game if their receivers–mainly Norwood and Little–didn’t have an allergy to receptions.
