Overview
- On her House of Maher podcast, U.S. rugby sevens Olympian Ilona Maher recounted asking a blond attendee what team and position he played before learning he was Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart at Cam Skattebo’s Super Bowl–week party.
- Maher said her friend and fellow rugby player Kasey McCravey asked veteran passer Jameis Winston “you know ball?” during a separate exchange at the same event.
- The podcast soundbite spread widely on social media and drew mixed reactions, with some users laughing at the misunderstanding and others calling the “humbling” line rude at a team-hosted party.
- Dart is a 2025 first-round pick out of Ole Miss who became the Giants’ starter as a rookie, logging 2,272 passing yards with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions plus 487 rushing yards and nine rushing scores.
- Maher is a high-profile rugby sevens player with a 2024 Olympic bronze medal and a large online following, which helped the anecdote jump from her podcast to mainstream sports and pop-culture coverage.
