Boomer Esiason Destroyed Abdul Carter on Live Radio After Carter Attacked Jaxson Dart for Meeting Trump

Jaxson Dart shook Donald Trump's hand at the White House.

Now an NFL rookie is demanding he apologize for it.

Boomer Esiason just told that rookie exactly where he could put that demand.

Boomer Esiason Unloads on Carter for Attacking Jaxson Dart Over Trump Rally

Bengals legend and WFAN host Boomer Esiason unloaded on the second-year Giants linebacker after Carter publicly blasted teammate Jaxson Dart for introducing President Trump at a Rockland Community College event last Friday.

Carter's response to the video was "thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man."

Esiason didn't waste a syllable.

"To put this out like a child on social media is ridiculous," Esiason said. "And then when I heard, 'Yeah, we spoke man to man.' Yeah, there was only one man on that call, and that was Jaxson Dart."

"This was a real error on the part of Abdul Carter. Not on the part of Jaxson Dart. Jaxson Dart was asked to do something. To introduce the President of the United States. How many people get an opportunity to do something like that? Regardless of who the president is."

He's right.

Dart walked onto that stage at Rockland Community College last Friday to "Eye of the Tiger," led a packed house in a "Go Big Blue" chant, and called introducing Trump an honor and a privilege.

Trump returned the favor immediately.

"I want to thank Jaxson Dart," the president said. "This is going to be a future Hall of Famer in my book. Thank you, thank you, Jaxson. Lot of talent."

That's your quarterback.

Lawrence Taylor Already Introduced Trump and Carter Wanted to Wear His Jersey

Here's what makes Carter's meltdown even more embarrassing.

Before his rookie season, Carter asked Giants legend Lawrence Taylor for permission to wear his iconic #56 jersey.

Taylor said no.

That same Lawrence Taylor has appeared at Trump events – including the White House – on multiple occasions.

Esiason reminded Carter of that fact on air.

"You were a man who was late to meetings. You were a man who didn't live up to your draft choice. You were a man who wanted to wear number 56, and by the way, your idol, number 56, has introduced Donald Trump numerous times."

Then he brought the hammer down.

"He made another boneheaded error by going to social media."

No wiggle room in that sentence.

Carter later deleted the post and claimed he and Dart spoke "man to man." Esiason's response was surgical: "Yeah, there was only one man on that call, and that was Jaxson Dart."

Abdul Carter Was Benched Twice Last Season for Skipping New York Giants Meetings

Giants fans already lived through this.

Last season – his rookie year as the #3 overall pick – Carter was benched twice in three weeks for missing team meetings.

The team benched him against the Packers after he slept through a Saturday walkthrough.

Weeks later he missed a special teams meeting and watched the entire first quarter against the Patriots from the sideline.

His explanation at the time: "S — happens. I gotta do better."

Interim head coach Mike Kafka had to publicly address it.

He closed the year with four sacks, fifth-place Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, and a reputation for immaturity that followed him into year two.

Now he's channeling that same energy at his own quarterback – a kid who showed up on time, stood in front of a crowd, honored the sitting president of the United States, and got praised by Trump on national television for it.

Giants new head coach John Harbaugh is a known Trump supporter who has made trips to the White House.

Carter may want to think about that the next time he reaches for his phone.

Esiason called Carter a "child."

He used it twice – and if you watched Dart walk out to "Eye of the Tiger" and lead a packed house in a "Go Big Blue" chant before shaking the president's hand, you already knew that was the right word.

The country is full of men who would have given anything for that moment.

Abdul Carter called it an AI glitch.
