Martellus Bennett Slams ‘B*tch’ Jimmy Garoppolo While Speaking On 2016 Patriots

Tight End Martellus Bennett spent one full season with the New England Patriots in 2016. They went 14-2 in a season that ended in a Super Bowl LI victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

At one point in Bennett’s commentary on the 2016 Patriots, the tight end put former backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in his crosshairs.

“Bro, we lost two games,” Bennett told the McCourtys. “One of them was because Jimmy Garoppolo was being a b—-. He decided not to play right before the game. Jacoby (Brissett) came out and played with a f—ed up thumb and played his heart out, but Jimmy was just being a b—- about it all.

“That’s why he … you can’t win with a b—- for a quarterback, first of all. That was the whole thing with him: He didn’t want to come out and do anything because his agent was trying to protect his body or some s— like that. Which, I can’t fault him for that. But like, you should have made that decision on Thursday. Now it’s Sunday.

“So anyways, he’s not going out there, so now Jacoby straps up and we lost to the Buffalo Bills. We shouldn’t have lost. It was just last-minute, trying to make adjustments for what Jacoby could do.”

For some context, Garoppolo started Weeks 1 and 2 while Tom Brady served his four-game suspension for Deflategate. Jimmy G suffered a shoulder injury during New England’s Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. Unfortunately Jimmy wasn’t ready to play by Week 4. Jimmy G is always getting injured.

Garoppolo has missed 24 games since joining the San Francisco 49ers in 2017.

What a B according to Bennett.
