Super Bowl champion Sean Landeta gets angry at a broadcaster for a question about his grooming habits
The old one New York Giants Punter Sean Landeta is not happy with one of his former teammates after he exposed what Landeta called a false and “disgraceful” locker room story during their time together.
In an interview with a Philadelphia radio station, Landeta was asked about the past Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell they said that Landeta, who played with the Eagles from 1999-2002, would prepare “under the states in the sauna” in front of other players.

The two-time Super Bowl champion remained calm but was clearly annoyed by the question.

“Now, my first thing – you want to call me during primetime radio in Philadelphia and talk to me about something like that? You’re kidding me,” he said in response to 94 WIP host Spike Eskin.
“I love Freddie. He’s a good mate and all. But what he said was a lie. I absolutely deny being in the sauna with Jon Ritchie. That never happened.
“I’m disappointed Mitchell. I’ll have to talk to him about that.”

But Landeta, who won both championships with the Giants, went back to the radio broadcasters.
“You call it entertainment, but it’s one guy embarrassing another guy talking about things. Believe me, I understand how that works. It’s too embarrassing for him to say that, especially if it’s not true.”
Landeta went one step further and said the question was an attempt to capture the ratings.
“I would think that since the Eagles will have a playoff game, they will not be talking about the boys in the saunas,” said Landeta.
