Giants’ Brian Burns going viral for hilarious, gross admission

Outside of his dominant play, one thing New York Giants fans have quickly learned about linebacker Brian Burns is that he’s a funny and animated guy.

Every time he’s in front of a camera or behind a microphone, Burns says something that catches everyone’s attention. Whether it’s his response to quarterback Daniel Jones jumping into a fight against the Detroit Lions or his horror stories about New York City traffic, the veteran always gets a laugh.

That continued last week with a viral video released by the team in which Burns admits that his favorite smell is, well… We’ll let him speak for himself.

“You want me to tell you what the smell is? That’s crazy,” Burns said when asked if he’s ever enjoyed a smell he’s supposed to find gross.

Many other Giants admitted they liked the smell of gasoline in a post the team has since deleted. Burns also likes the smell of gas.

“Sometimes I enjoy my farts,” Burns said. “They don’t smell too bad. I’m not going to lie. If you eat right, you’re fine.”

Safety Jason Pinnock had an equally gross answer.

“Earing backs,” he said with a laugh.

Wide receivers Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Deonte Banks, and linebacker Micah McFadden all answered “gasoline” with the latter adding “Sharpies” to the list.

It’s easy to see why the Giants’ social media team deleted the video from both X and Instagram, but they should have left well enough alone. It was a funny line from a funny guy and if you’re going to interview Burns, you had better expect some wild answers.
