The Giants are in no place to claim bragging rights over the Super Bowl champion Eagles, but that didn’t stop Kayvon Thibodeaux from brutally roasting Philly fans on Kevin Hart’s podcast.
“Is it true that Eagles fans are actually, like, not smart?” Thibodeaux asked Hart from an ice bath on a recent episode of the comedian’s “Cold As Balls” show.
“There are statistics that you guys are literally f—ing idiots.”
Hart panned to the camera with an incredulous look as Thibodeaux kept going.
“Like, no bulls–t, I know you’re one of them, so I get it. Like, 2.2 [GPA], I get it,” the star pass rusher told Hart, a Philadelphia native and diehard Eagles fan.
The Giants, of course, finished last season 3-14 and went 0-2 against Philadelphia, which won its second overall Super Bowl with former Big Blue first-round pick Saquon Barkley starring in the backfield.
In Thibodeaux’s three years in New York, the Giants have a combined record of 18-32-1. The Eagles have gone a combined 39-12 over the same stretch.
Nonetheless, Thibodeaux seemed to be enjoying the lighthearted banter with Hart on the podcast, which released April 29.
Some fans on social media seemed to appreciate the trash talk.
“No lies detected,” said one user on X, and another wrote, “Hell yeah, KT, roast him.”
Others, not so much.
“They’re just gonna make him hate them even more now lmao,” said another user.
Outside of the anti-Eagles ribbing, the two discussed Thibodeaux’s football journey, played a game of chess and debated which position Hart would play in Philly’s trademark “tush push” – all while sitting in side-by-side ice baths.
The Eagles and Giants will face off on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 6 – where Thibodeaux will get the chance to back up his jab with a big game.
If that doesn’t happen? The star pass rusher will surely be reminded of his comments by the ever-rabid Philly faithful.
