Malik Nabers: I felt like it was a lie for Fox broadcast to attack my character

Published November 10, 2026 06:48 PM Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers elaborated on his issues with comments made about him during last Sunday’s Fox broadcast during a press conference on Tuesday. Fox announcers Joe Davis, Greg Olsen, and Pam Oliver discussed Nabers’s body language at several points during the game and shots of an agitated Nabers on the sideline were shown multiple times. Davis was particularly critical about Nabers’s response to a touchdown by teammate Isaiah Likely and Olsen said in response that “there’s a very fine line between being demanding, being a competitor, and all those great things” before adding that Nabers has “just got to keep it in check.”Nabers responded to those comments and misattributed quotes that claimed Olsen called him a bad teammate in a social media post after the 19-11 win over the Eagles. Nabers said the broadcast tried to “create a narrative” that wasn’t true and shared more thoughts on the matter Tuesday. “I just feel like the narrative on me is always all the bad body language things that people have been saying about me,” Nabers said, via a transcript from the team. “But as far as that, if it’s a problem with anybody, the cameras can stay off me. The thing about it is, don’t tell the world something that’s not me. I’m [going to] speak up for myself all the time because there’s nobody else that’s going to be able to speak up for me. So, I’m going to use my own voice and be able to speak up about me being a bad teammate. And I felt like that was just a lie, just attacking my character as a football player and as a teammate. Like I said, I’ve never been on a team where anyone has called me a bad teammate that I know of.”Olsen took issue with the incorrect quotes about Nabers being a bad teammate and the wideout was asked if he’s heard from directly from him since Sunday. Nabers said he hasn’t, but “he can reach out and we can have a simple conversation.” Beyond that, Nabers said he’s done talking about the subject and that he’s moved on to Thursday’s game against the Commanders.
