Odell Beckham, We Have Something You Should Read
Odell Beckham Jr. is still steamed about the officiating in the Giants’ loss to the Steelers, in which he believes (and is correct, incidentally) that Pittsburgh defenders got away with all kinds of uncalled penalties. So steamed that he’s making nonsensical jokes:...
Odell Beckham Jr. Is Complaining About The Refs Again
The Giants got downright bodied by the Steelers on Sunday, the 24-14 score barely reflecting Pittsburgh’s dominance—Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell outgained the entire Giants offense.
