If you saw him practicing on the pregame show you would have seen him trying to catch every ball with one hand and arms extended. He is working extra hard to improve his skills and on that play it payed off. He has great potential and I hope he's a Giant for a long long time.
Why would he have a bet with Randall Cobb?
(I just opened a book, closed my eyes, and pointed. Sounded funny.)
You mean like with OBJ dropped a 1 handed catch against Seattle and ended up tipping it right to the defender for an easy pic that changed the direction of that game??

He is probably correct, but in his day players used Stickum which can arguably be considered an even greater aid so I don't know the point he was trying to get at.
Geez. Anything to diminish a great performance.
The real question here is as to when some people are most likely to get over themselves.
Unfortunately, in many cases the answer is never.
Fortunately, OBJ has a skill set that is rare in the annals of NFL history. And there is at least a modest chance that he will learn, over time, which are the one-hand attempts and which are the two-hand attempts.
It's just unconscionable that he doesn't have that down pat after five games. If not now, never, I guess.
