OBJ GQ Interview - Dousing more gasoline on Norman

and that last second Touchdown and subsequent celebration in the Carolina game was the most emasculating thing I've seen in the NFL in a long time, it'd be best if Beckham just drops this.

ESPN and NFL Network won't be able to contain themselves with this story, it's going to turn into a huge circus on Redskins weeks.

I wish he didn't. Clearly he doesn't like the guy and that's fine, but he's now put himself in a box where he HAS to torch him when they play, and it gives off the appearance that he's even still thinking about Norman.

Embarrass him on the field, and THEN do the talking. Until he dominates Norman on the field in a game the Giants win, he's never going to come off well in this.

the Giants have a better team this year so we're not stuck with year three of the Odell Beckham Show. I don't need to see the pre-game catches anymore.

It's an entertainment filled with drama...who gives a fuck.

really needs to be smarter. This isnt helpful. Great player but thus far in the early part of his career I dont find myself really enjoying rooting for him.

Yes, I know my handle makes that seem odd.

and "puts himself in a position where he has to torch Norman every time he plays."

Think about that a minute, because I'm thinking "fuck yeah!"

I figure those 2 games vs the skins are good for 4 TDs from OBJ next year, pencil it in.

I love it. He's going to embarrass this dude badly.

Odell isn't wrong. He wasn't really known before that.

Odell knows he can't stop him so he can say whatever he wants.

... lose his mind like he did vs. Carolina last season. That was not a good look for ODB.

Not sure what hes done to make it hard to root for him...he's an emotional guy who needs to keep it in check on the field a bit better. While he'd be better served by not bringing this up, his beef was legit and it's not like he's done anything offensive besides losing his cool....nothing to see here IMO.

THANK YOU!

This place is weird...it's not like OBJ ISN'T better than Josh Norman.....OBJ's gonna torch the guy.

let's remember that he's flat out refused to discuss it until now. And at least when he did, he's flat on it stating that he's better and not making stupid comments about stealing someone's bologna. I can't wait for those two matchups. Norman is going to get eviscerated.

I'd love it if that happens. But what if it doesn't?

I love the guy. Great player. The Giants went 0-2 against Philly last season and he got 12 catches for 115 yards total over 2 games. And they had nobodies at corner.

Always a possibility but he's absolutely owned the Skins so far. 28/364/5 hours n 3 matchups. And call me a homer but I don't think Norman is going to have that much of an impact. First, Beckham is simply better. Anyone watching the Carolina game knows this. Second, Washingtons D isn't Carolinas. I think Norman comes back to earth in a big way this season.

Really hate this argument. The Giants being awful last year has nothing to do with Odell. They had the worst defense I've ever seen

The defense doesn't factor into his personal performance. I was pointing out the fact that he did very little against a bad defense.

Calm down, it's not like he's out there running his mouth like Norman has. In fact he's refused to even discuss Norman or that game until now. If you want choir boys go to church.

Who is going to be very sorry he left the Panthers elite defense and no longer has Cortland Finnegan fighting most of his battles for him.

He is going to get absolutely dominated by Odell and Dez four times a year. Not to mention Jordan Matthews.

He is a loser and will be exposed.

I don't understand this kind of sanctimonious bullshit. So because of a very small part of him, a game here or there and the odd cocky interview you can't root for the 99% of him that makes him the most electrifying offensive player we possibly have ever had?

He can say this stuff now, because he is king of the moment. And he's made the plays to back it up.

But nothing lasts foreever. When he misses a few plays or injuries take a little out of his game, his comments will look really bad...

that every NFL Player has a Guy they just don't like .
Just as in Life .. Norman started it and I think there
is a fire Burning OBJ's Belly and Norman is the target .
I think he will back up this talk .
What surprised me was how good Malcom Butler was on him
like white on Rice .

I find him to be 100% correct. I never heard of Norman before that Panther's game. If OBJ can just keep himself from flipping out and handle this match up like Plax vs. Al Harris, Norman will be crying by the end of the game.

would just let his play do the talking.

that is all.

he would let his play do the talking. I thought by now he would have learned that lesson.

+1

This is pretty much exactly on the money in my opinion.

This team needs a personality and an identity, I want our best player confident and unnerving opponents. He is going to abuse Norman again, but this time he'll catch the ball. The fact that Norman has that racist logo on his helmet will make it that much better. I like the confidence because Odell can back it up.

And this time with new rule, automatic ejection. I always say, if you talk too much, you arent confident or insecure in your play or actions

Wish OBJ had caught that first long td that he dropped. Would have totally annilated him that game.

This shit. Is this the WWF

right now. Jordan Ranaan's farewell piece on the Giants for NJmedia was on OBJ's hair styles!
Hell OBJ may be the most marketable player in the league ever...
You guys really think he isn't being "smart" with how he conducts himself?

Getting suspended one game, because he lost his cool in the previous one, was about the only thing this guy has done wrong. Asides from dropping that huge TD bomb vs Norman that would likely have shut the punk ass's mouth up before he got started.

"What if" OBJ doesn't dominate against Norman? He'll hit the film room and figure out how to whip Norman their next game. This process is part of becoming great...

15 on a good day

He works hard. He's a great teammate. He's a good guy who seems to make good life decisions. He's one of, if not the best WR in football. Why some people get on him boggles my mind. He had a weak moment in that game. That's all it was and he's done nothing else to support that he's a bad or dumb guy.

God forbid a young superstar talks shit in the media or on the field, not everyone is going to be like Eli..

players talk shit it happens, now he has to back it up, now it is on him..

now having said that he can't go overboard like he did against Carolina, got to keep his emotions in check, talking shit is one thing, going after a player is totally different

I wonder who would of hated LT if twitter was around when he first came into the league

OBJ is a great player, but he ain't LT.

Actually, it should say "would have," or "would've."

Lulz, I should have said OBJ has made himself, through his play, his activities on and off the field, even his friggen hairstyle... the most marketable persona in NFL history. 10 cents of genius, maybe.

you said it brother.

He doesn't want attention but he's claiming he made the guy relevant and he sighed with WAS because of him? Laughably stupid.

He signed with WAS for 1 reason. Money. That is all.
