Giants coach Brian Daboll couldn’t help but be in a good mood after his team’s 31–19 road win over the Commanders on Sunday.
When asked about rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito’s performance in his first career win and his second straight start, the 48-year-old coach thought of a perfect, and literal, response.
“How much did Tommy DeVito grow today?” one reporter asked.
“I think he’s the same height,” Daboll joked.
Surprisingly, the comment didn’t spark much laughter from the room full of reporters, as the video below captures.

Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift has swept up the entire country in no small part thanks to the enhanced media coverage surrounding the new couple. The national attention and distraction would drive most football players up a wall, but not Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
Ahead of his team’s Monday Night Football game against the Eagles, Mahomes sat down with ESPN’s Jeff Darlington where he says the extra media attention isn’t much worse than the regular attention his team gets as two-time Super Bowl champions.
“I don’t think it feels any different,” Mahomes said.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. Dan Snyder is gone, but the Commanders are still prone to embarrassing themselves.

The Lions are worthy of your attention
Whatever your Thanksgiving plans are, make sure you get there early.
Florida State’s quest for a national championship will move forward without its senior leader at quarterback.
The quarterback position has been hit especially hard this season. Fantasy managers have been without Aaron Rodgers, Anthony Richardson, Kirk Cousins, Daniel Jones, Deshaun Watson and now Joe Burrow after Friday’s announcement that he is done for the season.
There’s a chance you’ve still remained in fantasy playoff contention even with one of these signal-callers, and now you’ll need to survive without the quarterback you drafted to be your QB1.
After Michigan suffered an eight-game losing streak against archrival Ohio State from 2012 through ’19, the Wolverines have comfortably knocked off the Buckeyes each of the past two seasons, 42–27 in 2021 and 45–23 in ’22. Saturday’s game in Ann Arbor once again has significant Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff ramifications, and the Wolverines find themselves in an unfamiliar spot ahead of the game: even with coach Jim Harbaugh suspended, they are favored in sportsbooks across the country.
SI Sportsbook has Michigan installed as a 3.
USC freshman Bronny James made a major step in his recovery process on Sunday just months after he suffered cardiac arrest in July.
Ahead of Sunday’s USC’s matchup vs. Brown, James warmed up with his team on the court. While he’s practiced with his team, this was the first time he’s been on the court with the team before a game.
His official college basketball debut date hasn’t been announced as he still recovers from the heart surgery he underwent this summer. His progression has been headed in the right direction as James hopes to make his debut sometime this season.

Let’s celebrate the NFL’s most dire coaches with turkey disaster GIFs!
Yes, there is still one game left in Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season. But given that neither Andy Reid nor Nick Sirianni factor into this particular discussion, we thought it was time to revisit the list of head coaches currently on the hot seat.
Don’t expect a lot of points in the Iowa/Nebraska game.
The Hawkeyes travel to Lincoln after locking up the Big Ten West with the chance to end the regular season with 10 wins.
It’s nothing short of shocking considering Iowa has arguably the worst offense in the P5. The Hawkeyes are averaging a pathetic 13.5 points per game against Big Ten opponents. Yet, you are what your record says you are, and Kirk Ferentz’s team is 9-2.
Now, the team will enter another game featuring a hilarious over/under line.
