Year-old to Odell Beckham Jr: Learn from your mistakes
Despite an appeal, Odell Beckham Jr. will not take the field at the U.S. Bank Stadium for the New York Giants’ game against the Minnesota Vikings on December 27, ESPN reports. He returned for two second-half series before sitting out the rest of the game, finishing with 18 carries for 63 yards.
“I know that Julio is leading right now receivers-wise”, Norman said. Edwards is filling the roster spot of the suspended Odell Beckham Jr.
To say that Beckham could’ve hurt Norman and/or himself is an understatement.
Of course, plenty has been made of Beckham’s actions last Sunday. Sportsmanship and respecting the game are as important as blocking, running routes, catching the football.
A bit of mystery remained when we gazed into the crystal ball for the Vikings-Giants game … we knew the Giants would be without star wideout Odell Beckham (unsportsmanlike play) and that they would have nothing to play for, having been eliminated from the playoffs by Washington’s Saturday win. He apologized to his teammates, the Giants organization and National Football League fans.
On Wednesday the league announced that it had fined Norman $26,044 for his on field actions.
Most notable was a play in which Beckham raced across the field to slam his helmet into that of an unsuspecting Norman.
Blandino later tried to rationalize why at least Beckham was not ejected, and unfortunately his excuse makes the officials look neutered. “I mean, it’s ridiculous. You tell the referee in the game”.
Arbitrator James Thrash upheld the suspension Wednesday by rejecting Beckham’s appeal. Donovan, a favorite of NFL Films, used to talk about how if the circus had just been in town, the defensive linemen would take elephant manure and toss it in the offensive players’ faces. “Maybe it’s female-related.”If I had a dollar for all the ex-girlfriends who said something about me, (made) allegations, you know what I’m saying?” “It is just unfortunate”.
Meanwhile, before practice Wednesday, Giants coach Tom Coughlin offered a defiant, strident and passionate defense of Beckham, insisting the Panthers were also to blame for Sunday’s out-of-bounds behavior.
Coughlin admitted that Beckham was wrong but added that there were factors involved like the Panthers’ pre-game antics as they tried to provoke him.
As for Coughlin’s comments that the Panthers had agitated Beckham, Rivera said he has a lot of respect for the Giants’ longtime coach.
We also have a good discussion about the state of affairs in Denver.
During the suspension, Beckham will not be permitted to attend team meetings and functions, attend or watch practices, appear at the club’s facilities for any reason, attend press conferences, appear at the team’s December 27 game or have contact with any club personnel except to arrange off-site medical treatment or rehabilitation.
