Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux rips Eagles fans during chat with Kevin Hart

New York Giants pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux has made it known over the years that he isn't fond of how Eagles fans have treated people close to him during games at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Thibodeaux's latest comments regarding the rivalry are unlikely to endear him to the Philadelphia faithful.

Per Darryl Slater of NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, Thibodeaux recently appeared on the "Cold As Balls" interview show hosted by comedian and passionate Eagles supporter Kevin Hart.

"Is it true that Eagles fans are actually, like, not smart? Like, no (expletive)," Thibodeaux said. "I know you’re one of them, so I get it. Like 2.2 [grade point average]. I get it. There are, like, statistics that you guys are literally (expletive) idiots."

Back in the summer of 2023, Thibodeaux mentioned how his mom wore his jersey to a road game in Philadelphia and had to deal with "vulgar stuff going on in the stands." Over the years, Giants legend and two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning has openly discussed how his daughter "definitely learned a few new hand gestures" and also "a few new vocabulary words" when she attended Big Blue's playoff game against the Eagles in January 2023. 

More recently, Los Angeles Rams pass-rusher Jared Verse said before his team's divisional-round postseason contest in Philadelphia this past January that he "hated" Eagles fans and found them "so annoying."

"When I see that green and white, I hate it," Verse added at that time. "I actually get upset. Like, I actually genuinely get hot."

Interestingly, Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire/USA Today revealed in March that an Eagles fan sent Verse a nice letter after the 24-year-old helped a cameraman to his feet during a game between Los Angeles and Philadelphia played in November 2024: 

Thibodeaux and the Giants will host the Eagles in Week 6 of the 2025 season on Oct. 9. Big Blue will then play at the reigning Super Bowl champions in Week 8 on Oct. 26. 

History shows Philadelphia fans will be sure to give Thibodeaux and his teammates a not-so-warm welcome when they run onto the field.
