Super Bowl champion attacks radio host on air over ‘private’ question: ‘I totally deny being in the sauna’

Super Bowl champion attacks radio host on air over 'private' question: 'I totally deny being in the sauna'

Former New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles punter Sean Landeta called radio host Spike Eskin out on air after asking him a private question about his playing days. 

Ahead of the NFL playoffs, Eskin called Landeta on air at 94 WIP in Philadelphia to ask the bizarre question about shaving his private parts in front of his teammates in the sauna. 

The locker room tale was previously revealed by former Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell who played with Landeta in his first two NFL seasons. 

When Eskin called Landeta onto the program, the conversation quickly turned awkward as the ex-punter did not appreciate the humor behind the story. 

‘Freddie Mitchell was on the morning show today, and he mentioned that you and Jon Ritchie were often in the sauna together, but Mitchell mentioned — how do I put this — that you would groom, uh, your under regions in the sauna,’ Eskin said. 

‘You want to call me during prime-time radio in Philadelphia and talk to me about something like that,’ Landeta answered with his tone became increasingly angry. ‘Are you kidding me? I know this is TMZ Radio and I like Freddie, you know good teammate and all. But what he said was absolutely false.

‘I totally deny being in the sauna with Jon Ritchie,’ he added. ‘That never happened.’

‘Now, may there have been a time where I was by myself and maybe had to shave a little bit? Ok, maybe that’s something that goes on privately in a locker room, and there is a saying that in the NFL that’s supposed to go, ‘What you see here or what you say here stays here and never leaves here.”

‘Obviously, Mr. Freddie must’ve wanted to get some people to go ‘Oh, wow’ … but I’m disappointed in Mr. Mitchell. I’m going to have to speak to him about that.’ 

The scolding from Landeta did not stop there as he continued calling out the hosts, who claimed they ‘were just having some fun.’ 

‘One guy embarrᴀssing another guy,’ Landeta said. ‘I understand what I’m dealing with. I would think with the Eagles having a playoff game coming up they wouldn’t be talking about guys in saunas.’ 

Mitchell’s career is best remembered for catching a fourth-and-26 pᴀss from Donovan McNabb to save Philadelphia’s 2003 season and defeat the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. 

The win granted the Birds an NFC Championship game appearance. 

On the other hand, Landeta played in the NFL for 22 seasons, including nine with the Giants where he won two Super Bowl тιтles in 1986 and 1990. 

The punter retired in 2005 after a Super Bowl appearance with the Eagles at the age of 43.
