I'll wait and see what kind of excuse he comes up with, there might be something reasonable - but otherwise, signing up to be there, being paid in advance, letting them promote the event with your name all over it and then no-showing at the last minute is pretty shitty.
sponsored by Big Blue Travel. Buffet, Q+A with players, autograph session, and "MVP" awards to the season's best players - in this case, Collins and Beckham. They were even pictured on the flier for it. If he bailed without a legit reasons, that's a real slap in the face to the fans.

Totally agree. I hoped OBJ had kinda turned the corner after being received so well at the Pro Bowl.
no showed for signings he was paid in advance for before. I remember it happening with a signing here in my local area a couple years ago.
The crazy part is the only people who were supposed to get Beckham autograph and photo opportunity were the ones that paid 600 for the VIP package each. Those people have to feel royally screwed. Wonder if they refunded peoples money

100%. The comments on this lambasting Francessa are off the mark. This is of a kind of classless (and so far explanation less) act that got Geno's jaw broken.

nothing to do with on-field performance. After all this time, I know I shouldn't be.
I'm surprised you say this........it tells a lot about a person.
And there's no doubt that OBJ has already displayed some traits that correspond to exactly this. In other words, it's all about me...........
PS - I'm a big fan.
These people jump, catch, tackle, and run fast for a living. And to be perfectly honest, if they couldn't do those things, none of us would know who they are or care about their personalities or how they conduct themselves otherwise (in a non-criminal sense). I love sports and I love football, but I try to keep some perspective about it and the people who play these games. I don't need people who do these relatively unimportant things to be nice people.
With Beckham. He's known for cancelling last minute on these things.
Kid is special talent but there is now a list of things that just aren't right here. Hopefully it won't spiral out of control.
Hope B Marsh can educate OBJ on how to better conduct himself on and OFF the field. I wouldn't be surprised if OBJ had a similar condition as Marshall (borderline personality disorder).
the field stuff, but that's because those are issues that are mostly blown out of proportion by the media (the net nonsense, ripping his helmet off, etc.).
This is a question of integrity - and it's a slippery slope. Today he's leaving people high and dry on promised appearances, tomorrow he's failing to show up for a practice or rehab.
This isn't some kid who grew up poor and lacked guidance, I'm surprised the people close to him haven't pulled him aside and told him to grow the fuck up already. Or maybe that has happened and he's just a little too full of himself at the moment to listen.
For someone who claims to not care about anything Beckham does with his personal life, you sure seem to care a lot about what Beckham does with his personal life....
unless there was a valid reason he wasn't there. The Giants did a thing last year in the practice bubble back in May or June for the Kids Sports Awards with Nickelodeon. They had a bunch of current and former players there as the kids did a few drills and threw a ball at a target. They had Jennings and Wing were there, and also had Snee, Suebert and Stephen Baker. Odell came late but was there and mingled with the kids and took pictures with them (he was wearing a Rugrats backpack). He took a picture with my 2 sons and seemed to be pretty comfortable and was really engaging with the kids and parents. That would suck if he left fans and the Big Blue Travel organization in a lurch.
I think suggesting he has a serious mental condition is probably the

I don't care what he does with his personal low as long as it doesn't interfere with the on field.
jcn's point above about integrity is solid, though. If Beckham is this much of a jerk with something that doesn't matter, could he be with something that does?

Arc, to be fair, this is a quasi team function that people paid alot of money for to have access to him for his autograph.
Why does it always seem to be him? Did any other players no show? I'm not sure the answer, just curious.

How about getting all the facts in before proceeding to kill the guy?

Well if you've already accepted payment, you should probably hold up your end and show up. Otherwise it would most likely be a non issue.

You don't think people should care that he basically screwed people out of a lot of money? It's wrong. He should be better than that.

It's for the fans and Big Blue Travel charges waaaay too much for this.
Makes sense. Trade your best player for being an eccentric.

It seems that maybe the glory level is expanding at such a rapid rate and the maturity level is struggling to keep up.

And people STILL cheer for him when he runs through that tunnel despite numerous serious reasons not to.
