CBS’
Stephen Colbert said the Giants' 38-13 loss to the Packers was a “brutal game.” Giants QB
Eli Manning “could not get anything going,” Giants WR
Odell Beckham Jr. “kept dropping passes and the defense even let
Aaron Rodgers throw a Hail Mary.” Colbert: “Luckily, New York fans are used to being embarrassed since we also have the Jets. Some angry Giants fans are now pointing to this photo of several players on a boat in Miami last week, saying they should have been focused on the game instead. Yesterday, the players on that boat had a combined three dropped passes, and two of them would have been for touchdowns. Just think, if they had caught those touchdowns, the Giants would have lost by only 11 points. Way better, and it doesn't help that when you zoom into that photo you can actually see Eli Manning water skiing behind the boat on top of two dolphins wearing a shirt that says ‘I DON’T CARE ABOUT FOOTBALL’” (
“The Late Show,” CBS, 1/9).
Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah discussed actress Meryl Streep's speech at the Golden Globes, in which she said football and MMA “are not the arts.” Noah said, “You don’t have to make your point by (EXPLETIVE) on someone else's thing because a lot of people love football and the arts. I know yesterday I was watching the football with friends and then I went on to watch the Golden Globes. A lot of the time football and arts go hand in hand. For instance, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acts like he cares about concussions. You see, they go together” (“The Daily Show,” Comedy Central, 1/9).
