is crazy. It definitely wasn't luck. I've seen the clip of him in college grabbing that kickoff with one hand as well. He's in his own class in this regard.
is that the defender interferes with OBJ as the defender is trying to get behind OBJ...You know, to get to the only place where you could POSSIBLY catch that ball!
They finally have a non-scandal story to talk about Â
This isn't the NFL. This is people on the Internet.
And with that in mind, why you have issue with the NFL or anyone else glorifying what is probably the most athletic catch any of us have ever seen is beyond me.
Those who saw Odell Beckham Jr.'s acrobatic catch live on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium probably could not fully appreciate it in real time. Those who saw it on video — millions, once the awe spread on social media — were dazzled by his seemingly impossible body control. And those who saw still photographs of the catch might have wondered, how did the photographer capture that?

his other arm was coming up to secure the ball, he was immediately like, nah i got this with 2 fingers, and the other arm went down to cushion his fall and stay in bounds.
that Rice had fumbled but it wasn't called and there was no replay at the time... Favre just might have another SB ring had that been called correctly.
As good a summation as any.
(i'm kidding)

The photographer in the background will probably get an earful from his boss for not having the camera ready to take a shot of the catch.
Worse, if he's a true professional, he should be kicking his own ass for missing a great opportunity for photo for the ages. Was in great position!!!
