Giants, John Mara and Saquon Barkley
Are you familiar with that new sleep aid commercial featuring Saquon Barkley playfully taking jabs at the Giants for letting him go and resurfacing co-owner John Mara’s line about not being able to sleep at night if Barkley signed with the Eagles?
John Mara called Saquon Barkley and jokingly said he was "very upset" with the commercial that Barkley did, as he wanted to be featured: "There is an acting gene in our family, it's not just my nieces" pic.twitter.com/6V9JgmSjkh Cue the pained laughter.
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley trolled New York Giants owner John Mara's "sleep" comments on "Hard Knocks" in new ad for a sleep aid.

New York Giants owner John Mara issues a stern warning to Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, emphasizing the need for rapid improvement.
Schoen gave quarterback Drew Lock a one-year, $5 million contract to be the backup plan for Jones. But when the Giants moved on from Jones, they leap-frogged Lock for No. 3 quarterback Tommy DeVito. Lock eventually made five starts and, aside from an inexplicable virtuoso performance in a win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, it was ugly.
John Mara decided to retain Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen. So why did the Giants co-owner sound so down on the state of his franchise?
In coaching terms, New York Giants head coach, Brian Daboll, is a dead man walking if he doesn’t return the franchise to prominence next season. Giants president, John Mara, issued the ultimatum on Monday after the team announced Mr. Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen will return next season despite a 3-14 record this year.
