Is Wesley Steinberg a real NFL and Giants insider on social media?

[ASFN Admin]

As New York Giants fans await news on John Harbaugh, one source on social media has been pumping out updates.

The catch to those updates is... they're fake. Wesley Steinberg is not a real NFL and Giants insider; it's a troll account.

"Wesley Steinberg" (@WesSteinberg on X) advertises himself as a "NFL and NY Giants Insider," but the account is just a clever parody that trolls NFL fans looking for news updates about the G-Men and beyond. We're not even sure if Wesley Steinberg is a real person or just a snarky avatar for internet dupes.

We live in a world where it's very easy to pull one over on sports fans searching for social media news. The "Wesley Steinberg" account has gotten away with some pretty brutal trolls in recent memory. The Harbaugh saga has been closely followed by Giants fans and beyond, and "Steinberg" has capitalized on the internet fervor.
