New York Giants star wideout Odell Beckham Jr suspended one game
“If that’s the star player you want – he’s all yours”, Francesa said.
During his two NFL seasons, Beckham has been fined three times by the league – $10,000 for kicking St. Louis Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree and $11,025 for throwing down his helmet while protesting what he thought was a late hit in 2014 and $8,681 for throwing a punch at Buffalo Bills safety Duke Williams this season. Beckham was suspended largely because of his helmet-to-earhole shot that prompted New York City sports radio host Mike Francesa to say on Monday, “He damaged the legacy of his head coach and the legacy of his team”.
“I will not defend his actions yesterday because they were wrong and this particular franchise and organization does not tolerate that, so I would not do that”, Coughlin said. “But I will defend the quality of the person as long as I’m able”. “It’s the ongoing process of young players”.
If he’s not careful, he will suffer the same fate as the ultimate diva wideouts of this generation: Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson: Big numbers, very entertaining, no Super Bowl championship rings.
‘I hope I pulled back the mask on who he really is. I also wrote that his inner rage isn’t fueled by selfish goals, but by the desire to be great in a team-first way recognized by his bosses, Tom Coughlin and Jerry Reese. “We’re just trying to find a way to get victories”.
Beckham, whose spectacular one-handed catches and runs have made him one of the league’s top receivers in just his second season, will miss Sunday’s game in Minnesota against the Vikings. “On one drive, Beckham was flagged twice for unnecessary roughness and Norman also drew an unnecessary roughness penalty”.
With Beckham and quarterback Eli Manning far and away the best two players on the team, Manning was the only Giants player with the authority to grab Beckham by the facemask and get him to quit acting like a little kid throwing a protracted Christmas morning I-didn’t-get-what-I-wanted tantrum. He is barred from team meetings, attending or watching practices; attending Sunday’s game; or having contact with any club personnel except to arrange off-site medical treatment or rehabilitation.
National Football League superstar Odell Beckham has been suspended for one game after his controversy-filled performance against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Panthers reportedly had a baseball bat on the field during pregame warmups in an alleged attempt to deliver a menacing message. Carolina cornerback Bene Benewikre took to Twitter on Monday to clarify that the baseball bat is a symbol (of “bringing the wood”) and that the Panthers have brought a bat to other games as well.
“I said, ‘Listen here explicit”. “I think both those guys were going at it. I don’t think either one was in the right, but I didn’t think one was worse than the other”. Beckham’s reaction to this could more easily be described as assault than as football. It’s no surprise that he was none-too-pleased Sunday about an individual matchup threatening the Panthers’ march on history.
Odell Beckham Jr. might be the most physically gifted receiver ever to wear an National Football League uniform.
Beckham, a second-year player known for spectacular catches with almost 1,400 yards receiving and 13 touchdowns on the year, had three personal fouls called against him in a battle with cornerback Josh Norman during Sunday’s heartbreaking 38-35 loss to the undefeated Carolina team.
