Jerry Seinfeld’s presence remains to be felt within the town of New York. Just ask Justin Pugh.
25 years after Seinfeld ended its historical run, the well-known comic’s voice is why Pugh is again with the New York Giants after being out of the league. Pugh, who signed a one-year care for the Giants on Wednesday, credited Seinfeld for why he sought after to come again to the Giants within the first position.Â
“Honestly this is all Jerry Seinfeld’s fault,” Pugh mentioned with a grin, via SNY. “I was at a restaurant like four months ago over the summer and my wife and I were sitting there with some friends and across from us was Jerry Seinfeld. And I hear his voice and it was the most quintessential New York moment of all time.Â
“I texted my agent. ‘Text the Giants. I wanna come again.’ So in point of fact if it wasn’t for Jerry Seinfeld I do not know if I’d be right here at this time. He’s the best. He’s the GOAT.”Â
Two weeks after signing with the Giants apply squad, Pugh began at left guard — however had to transfer to left take on after Joshua Ezeudu went down with a foot damage within the first quarter. Pugh practiced best at left guard since signing with the Giants, so he had to be told a brand new place at the fly.Â
Pugh did permit two sacks, however the ones have been the one pressures at the night time he allowed — a win for a Giants offensive line that has mightily struggled.Â
“He’s a true pro,” mentioned Giants head trainer Brian Daboll. “I mean, he’s only been here a short time as you guys know, so again, he’s been up here in the mornings getting extra time with (offensive line coach) Bobby (Johnson) and again, based on where we were at last week, it was a conversation that we had going into the game about, you’re here, but you could be here, you could be here, you good with it? He’s a true pro.
“He’s been within the league for a very long time and there’s a explanation why for it.”
Perhaps Seinfeld will thank Pugh if the Giants flip round their season.Â
