My $ says it won't be the last time he loses his composure on the field.

I'm with you there. The book is out on him now. Easy to rattle, prone to immature fits of rage -- yeah, he's going to manhandled every game he plays from here on out. Should be fun to see if he can adapt.

Classy move by AP. I'm sure a number of other players feel the same way....

 

Adrian Peterson texted support to Odell Beckham Jr. over suspension

 

"But my personal opinion, I don't think it warranted a suspension. I had the opportunity to reach out to the young guy. I just told him, 'Hey, just learn from it, and keep your head up.'"

This is at least the second player you are quoting that has been suspended recently.....

Then he turned him around and whipped him with sticks.

So Sheldon Richardson, Adrian Peterson, and Odell Beckham Jr. walk into a bar.

lol how many posts are you up to since promising you left the thread for good? a dozen? you got no game man. I hope shady is better at keeping his promises than you are, but since lack of skill is an issue in both your cases, i doubt it

The most objective and reasonable account ive heard of what started it. Anyone who still putting in all on OBJ, just speaks volumes about your own lack of integrity. Yeah, we could have had OBJ and another 1st round pick instead of Sammy, but it's no reason to condone this..

 

Giants punter reveals bat threat that spooked Beckham

 

We were going through our regular routine, Odell was dancing around as he does, and he got to the 50 [yard line] and there was a guy dressed in warmup clothes, not in football gear, and he was kind of looking at Odell, Wing said. Odell was still dancing around, went to shake his hand, the guy just kind of looked at his hand and he didnt go to shake his hand. I know there were a couple of words exchanged between the two and we kept warming up.

 

I looked back and noticed he was coming over towards where we were at on our side of the field, he got to about the 40, 35 yard line, they were just yelling at each other. Odell was, Why you not playing? kind of just back and forth, and that guy was like, Ill be the reason you dont play today and other days. Thats what he said. After that it got kind of broken up, thats when I stepped in the middle of em because they were getting pretty close. Then the ref came in and kind of sent him away, he went back to his side of the field and we just went on about our pregame.

 

Did Wing sense this was a legitimate threat?

 

I mean, he had a baseball bat, Wing said. He never swung it at Odell or anything like that, but it was there, it was present. He had a baseball bat. Were on a football field, he had a baseball bat.

 

It was a legitimate threat. The guy was in an area he was not supposed to be, obviously.

Asked how Beckham reacted, Wing said: Yeah, I think shaken him up is an accurate way to put it.

 

There are reports about anti-gay slurs being directed at Beckham. Wing did not hear any of that.

 

I cant remember, to be honest with you, Wing said. The only thing I can remember clearly was what was said to him about he would be the reason Odell would not play today and other days.

 

An opposing player crossing the 50-yard line is rare Wing said hes never seen it before in his three years in the NFL. After a game official came over to break up the jawing between Ball and Beckham, Wing watched as Ball went over to the Carolina side of the field.

 

All I saw was as soon as the little commotion between Odell and this man broke up I kind of still watched him as he went back to his side of the field and he went straight to Josh Norman and they had a little conversation, Wing said. I dont know what they were talking about.

 

Wing is convinced the officials could have controlled the situation if they threw penalty flags earlier in the game.

 

I think it had a lot to do with, I think it was the fourth or fifth play, [beckham] got body slammed, he retreated, he had his hands in the air, which is a universal sign of retreat, Wing said. Josh then body slammed him and there was flags or no help or no intervention by any official. That kind of let Odell know what kind of day it was going to be and if anyone was to stick up for Odell it had to be himself. Because the officials made it clear at that point in time they didnt want to control it or didnt have any control over it.

 

I dont even know if theres any disciplinary actions for referees, but I think they at least have to have a talking to just to know in future games, you can stop that before it gets to that point.

He went to shake the guys hand? So he did or did not feel threatened by the guy standing with a bat dressed in "all black clothes", spooooooky attire btw :lol:

 

This all reeks of a PR Expert going through the film and saying ok "here is what we have to do to turn the tide - 1) Odell is the victim 2) Get former player support 3) The Panthers are cold stone killers"

 

As for the Beckham retreated thing, his signature is to get his punches and cheap shots in and then when a player retaliates (which is also not ok), he holds his hands up like "I didn't do anything!"
