Malik Nabers doubles down on Greg Olsen ‘attack’ after Fox broadcaster’s response

Wait 5 sec.

Greg Olsen took issue at Malik Nabers’ comments and the way his words were interpreted by the media.The New York Giants wide receiver didn’t have his best day against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, catching fives passes for 43 yards in the 19-11 win.Olsen has been linked with being named as Aikman’s successor in recent weeksGettyNabers’ body language wasn’t great during the game, which was compounded when he slammed his helmet and reacted to a big-time drop in the end zone.Fox announcer Joe Davis said his body language was ‘terrible today,’ while partner Olsen agreed it was ‘not good.’One outlet reported Olsen had said: “There’s a fine line.“I played with a lot of really good wide receivers and really good players. There’s never been a great wide receiver who hasn’t demanded the ball. That kind of comes with the territory, there’s a few exceptions to guys that are just a different personality, a different approach.“There’s a very fine line between being demanding, being a competitor and all those great things. That’s great. It can just never cross where it feels like it takes away from the success of your teammate. So when your teammate catches a touchdown, you need to be the happiest guy on the field.”Nabers took exception to Olsen’s commentary, and posted the following on Instagram after the game: “Y’all be trying [to] create a narrative on me so bad it’s actually crazy. If you don’t like the way I play the game, keep the camera off me. SIMPLE. But Greg Olsen calling me a bad teammate when every team I’ve been on, there’s NOBODY I’ve played with that has said that about me, is crazy! “My face is the same way if I’m having a good game, bad game, winning or losing. So if it’s a problem, 1. keep the camera off of me or 2. pray about it. Simple”.Malik Nabers was not happy with Olsen’s call on the dayGettyView Tweet: https://x.com/nypost?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwGreg Olsen fires back at Malik Nabers, Giants star doubles downHowever, on Monday, Olsen pushed back, saying that his quotes had been taken out of context by various news outlets.“Since people are going to just make up quotes and put worlds in my mouth,” he posted on X.“Here were my comments on Malik Nabers,” he added, sharing video footage of the broadcast.“At no point did we ever say he was a bad teammate. Hopefully @nypost and @USATODAY adjust their stories.Olsen also said that the quotes about him suggesting Nabers was a bad teammate were a ‘flat out lie.’“This quote is just a flat out lie. These words were never said,” Olsen added.In response, Nabers said the broadcast tried to “create a narrative” that wasn’t true while giving more of his thoughts on Tuesday.“I just feel like the narrative on me is always all the bad body language things that people have been saying about me,” Nabers said. “But as far as that, if it’s a problem with anybody, the cameras can stay off me. The thing about it is, don’t tell the world something that’s not me. I’m [going to] speak up for myself all the time because there’s nobody else that’s going to be able to speak up for me.

And I felt like that was just a lie, just attacking my character as a football player and as a teammate. Like I said, I’ve never been on a team where anyone has called me a bad teammate that I know of.”New York’s victory was its first in Philadelphia since 2013 and improved the Giants to 5-2-1.The Eagles, meanwhile, slipped to 2-7 with the defeat.Sign up for talkSPORT Stateside, the YouTube channel dedicated to passionate US Sports fans.
