Grilled over Ruggs tweet, Giants’ Kadarius Toney defends himself

Kadarius Toney on Wednesday defended his tweet last week about the Henry Ruggs’ situation in which the New York Giants rookie said it was “goofy” how people were slamming Ruggs for allegedly causing the fatal accident.

Toney was asked if he regretted the tweet.

“Like I said, pray for the families involved,” Toney said. “How could you regret having empathy for both sides? I don’t really get it.”

Ruggs, formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders, is facing four felony charges after a fatal accident that saw Ruggs’ Chevrolet Corvette slam into a car driven by Tina Tintor, killing Tintor and her dog.
