If Joe Judge was really hurt by being fired by the New York Giants, he had a funny way of showing it.
On Wednesday, TMZ Sports obtained pictures of former New York Giants head coach in a celebratory mood as he could be seen with a ton of pizza and beer to his house in New Jersey.

According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, the reason behind this order is that Judge was hosting the Giants’ former staff and their families and this was his way of thanking them.
“We could invade someone’s privacy to mock them or appreciate this for what it really is: Joe Judge hosting fired coaches and their families as a thank you, trying to take care of people who dedicated their last two years to him/NYG,” Leonard tweeted. “Some insight into what really went down!”
The New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge on Tuesday after only two seasons at the helm. He ended his career with the team with a record of 10-23, which is the second-worst in the franchise’s modern history for any Giants coach with at least one full season at the helm.
“Steve (Tisch) and I both believe it is in the best interest of our franchise to move in another direction,” team president John Mara said via a Giants statement. “We met with Joe yesterday afternoon to discuss the state of the team. I met again with Joe this afternoon, and it was during that conversation I informed Joe of our decision. We appreciate Joe’s efforts on behalf of the organization.
“I said before the season started that I wanted to feel good about the direction we were headed when we played our last game of the season. Unfortunately, I cannot make that statement, which is why we have made this decision.
The 2021 season saw Judge’s Giants also get off to a slow start, opening with a 1-5 mark. Along the way, the team would fire Jason Garrett following the Week 11 loss at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the offense only got worse from there as the team could only muster 69 points during a 1-6 stretch from Week 12 to Week 18.
His last terrible decision came in week 18 during Sunday’s loss to the Washington Football Team where they ran a quarterback sneak on third-and-9 from New York’s 4-yard line. Enough was enough and the team ultimately made the right decision.
