Giants star Malik Nabers pokes fun at own season-ending injury, fantasy football in hilarious commercial
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The NFL’s regular season is ending soon, which means that fantasy football seasons are also coming to a close.
But while the season may be ending, the fantasy football punishments are only just beginning. For the player who finishes in last place, one common punishment is that they have to spend 24 hours in a bar, or at an IHOP eating pancakes.
New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers was drafted in the first round by many players, but the second-year wide receiver tore his ACL in Week 4. The Giants certainly missed him in the lineup, as did a lot of fantasy football players, whose teams looked a lot different without Nabers.

Nabers and IHOP partnered to make a hilarious commercial, which made fun of his injury and the impact it had on fantasy football players.
“Every year, thousands of fantasy football leagues make their last-place team spend 24 hours at IHOP eating pancakes,” Nabers said.
A waitress then interrupted and said, “Just like you helped everyone’s fantasy team this season?”

Nabers was eating pancakes, with his crutches next to him, when a kid walked up and asked the Giants star if it was actually him.
After Nabers confirmed it was himself, the kid yelled, “I wasted my first-round pick on you!”
The 22-year-old was on his way to making his second season look a lot like his rookie season. As a rookie, Nabers had 109 receptions for 1,204 yards with seven touchdowns.

Nabers set the record for most catches ever by a rookie wide receiver. In four games before tearing his ACL, the former LSU star had 18 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.
Fantasy owners who draft Nabers next season hope that he will regain his form and that they will avoid last place.

Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., ripped Kansas City Chiefs team owner Clark Hunt after the organization announced it plans to relocate by the 2031 season.
The Chiefs plan to build a state-of-the-art stadium in Kansas City, Kansas, with the support of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly.
“Clark Hunt: the biggest Welfare King in America. Billions of taxpayer money going to this billionaire, while working people suffer. Just a disgrace,” he wrote on X.

Boyle’s issue seemingly revolves around the plan for the Chiefs’ move.
Kansas outbid Missouri, and the former state’s STAR (Sales Tax and Revenue) bonds will be covering up to 70% of the cost of the new stadium. Missouri did approve a plan this past summer that would pay up to half of the cost of the new stadiums for not only the Chiefs, but MLB’s Kansas City Royals as well.
Voters in Jackson County, the jurisdiction that owns the Truman Sports Complex in Missouri, blocked an extension of a 3/8-cent sales tax, which would’ve funded improvements to Arrowhead Stadium while helping finance a new Royals stadium. As such, both franchises were forced to look at other options, and the Chiefs made a big decision. Furthermore, it motivated Kansas lawmakers to act.

“The benefit to the entire region will be monumental,” Hunt said in his announcement. “A stadium of this caliber will put Kansas City in the running for Super Bowls, Final Fours, and other world class events. A brand new training facility and headquarters will allow the Chiefs to continue to attract top talent. And the vision for a new mixed-use district will rival that of any sports-anchored development anywhere in the country.”
To further Hunt’s statement above, a domed stadium makes the new Chiefs home not just a possible Super Bowl destination, but would also play host to many other sporting and cultural events in the future.
Kansas lawmakers voted unanimously to allow the state to cover 60% of the cost of the new stadium, a new training facility and a retail and entertainment space. The bonds will be paid off with state sales and liquor tax revenues in a defined area around it.
Hunt and his family are worth $1.6 billion, according to Forbes.

It won’t be the first time the team has moved. The Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans and they won the American Football League championship before moving to Kansas City, Missouri, in 1963. The team played at Kansas City Municipal Stadium.
