Where this statement fits
Jameis Winston's 'Who Let the Dogs Out' hard count fails to draw the Commanders offside; Donte Whitner says the Giants should cut him, and John Harbaugh says it does not bother him
Late in the New York Giants' 24-21 Thursday Night Football loss to the Washington Commanders, backup quarterback Jameis Winston used the chorus of the Baha Men song "Who Let the Dogs Out" in his cadence on fourth-and-1 from the Giants' 11-yard line, trying to draw Washington offside. The Commanders did not jump, and the Giants took a delay-of-game penalty and punted. After the game, Winston and coach John Harbaugh said the cadence was a practiced attempt to draw a penalty. The next morning on ESPN's Get Up, former safety Donte Whitner said he would cut Winston and that Winston was trying to go viral on social media. Skip Bayless and Aqib Talib also criticized the cadence, while Harbaugh said on Friday that it did not bother him.
