Giants LB Markus Golden Hit A Million Dollar Bonus Because Of A Stat Correction ... Wait, What?

[Source] -  A stat correction from Sunday's New York Giants victory over the Washington Redskins allowed Markus Golden to earn a $1 million bonus.

Golden received the early Christmas gift Tuesday when he was informed that a half sack of Dwayne Haskins early in the third quarter was being changed to a full sack. Golden raced around the left edge on the play and brought down Haskins, whose ankle was being held by linebacker Lorenzo Carter. The Giants teammates originally shared the sack.

But after further review -- which happens on a weekly basis with certain disputed plays -- a correction was made. Golden was credited with the full sack. It gave him 10 this season and triggered the lucrative incentive.

What a way to go to bed last night if you're Markus Golden. Here you are coming off of a couple of injuries, having a decent year and you think you're a half sack away from a million bucks. Now, I know most people will say athletes have a bunch of money already, but in a limited time to make money, a million bones is a million bones. 

Even better is you get this money AFTER Christmas. That's the best time to get a bonus, not that I'm insinuating anything here, but everyone knows after you spend money on gifts and travel and the bar you need a couple extra bucks in your pocket. 

As for the Giants? Well, for as bad of a job as I think Dave Gettleman is doing, this is one of the right moves. He took a shot on Golden on a relatively cheap deal and he's paying off. Now re-sign him and start building that defense back up, preferably without Gettleman. Please just stop sucking, that's all I ask for. I don't ask for much from a team that won 4 Super Bowls in my lifetime, but please stop sucking.
