ESPN's Elle Duncan claps back at Giants fans irked by Daniel Jones criticism

Keyshawn Johnson breaks down how the Daniel Jones saga is hurting the New York Giants' future, highlighting their mis-evaluation and costly decisions.

ESPN’s Elle Duncan did a segment on Thursday during "SportsCenter" that irked some within the New York Giants organization and its fans. 

Duncan did a segment, ‘Taking the Elle,’ mocking Daniel Jones for reading a statement to begin what was essentially his goodbye press conference. 

"We normally reserve ‘Taking the Elle’ for Fridays, but Giants quarterback Daniel Jones just did something so inexplicable that we made an exception. After being benched this week, Jones took to the podium to say goodbye to the franchise and fans but with, like, seven games left in the season," Duncan said in a mocking tone.

"I’m sorry, you have to write this down? Didn’t you go to Duke?" Duncan said incredulously.

"Do you guys think he had this saved in his notes since, like, 2020? In all seriousness, DJ, I could have saved you like 90 seconds. A re-write: ‘Sorry you paid me $108 million for one playoff win. And I look forward to reviving my career as Brock Purdy’s backup.’ The end," Duncan concluded. 

Giants senior V.P. of communications Pat Hanlon took exception to Duncan’s segment, while also taking a shot at ESPN in a post on X on Thursday night.  

"That an #ESPN personality would mock Daniel Jones’ statement today is mind boggling. Given what has happened at that company over past few years, tone deaf," Hanlon wrote.
