The New York Giants' 2024 season proved to be a nightmare, ending with a dismal 3-14 record and leaving fans disillusioned. Their struggles were highlighted in the recent season of HBO's Hard Knocks, where a notable moment involved GM Joe Schoen and co-owner John Mara debating the future of star running back Saquon Barkley. After letting Barkley leave for the Philadelphia Eagles, the Giants watched in dismay as he led them to a Super Bowl victory. The embarrassment resulted in HBO gaining a Sports Emmy nomination for its unsparing depiction of the Giants' dysfunctional year, forcing fans to relive this painful chapter once more.
