Adam Schefter is facing some criticism for alerting everyone that Giants undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito – who will be starting this weekend in his first NFL game, still lives at home with his parents.
The peculiar tweet from Schefter proves that it must be a slow news day because many on social media are asking “so what?”
WHY SCHEFTER’S TWEET WAS POINTLESS
First up, Tommy DeVito is 25 years old. We always blast athletes for throwing away their money and not investing wisely. Tommy DeVito is UNDRAFTED, the dude never thought in his life he’d probably ever see an NFL playing field. So living with his parents is not something out of the ordinary, I don’t care if he’s a professional athlete or not.
For at least five months of the year DeVito’s life consists of attending training camp, practices or traveling for games. He’s barely home, why would he have the need to go out and purchase an apartment or home – especially since the Giants facilities are less than 20 minutes away from his current home in NJ?
IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID
And finally – but perhaps MOST importantly – New Jersey STINKS when it comes to taxes. The Garden State currently has the highest property taxes in the entire country, with the fifth largest income taxes at over 10%.
Adam Schefter and his five-year, $45 million ESPN deal needs to take a look around before putting Tommy DeVito on blast.
And let’s not forget that in DeVito’s former life he was another great Italian known as Joe Pesci, who ALSO lived at home with his mother in Goodfellas.
I’m so mad at Schefter’s callout that I’m now going to take Giants +17.5 tomorrow. DeVito is going to go full Italian stallion and lead the Giants to at least score some points and keep it from becoming an absolute disaster.
TWEET ME AND TELL ME HOW GREAT I AM. @TheGunzShow
