It's all over the tabloids, Page Six link below.
Not sure how to feel about this.
I'd rather he was at OTAs, but if he's not, I gotta figure bowling with Iggy Azalea is a lot more wholesome than almost anything he'd be doing off-the-field with Manziel.
Odell Beckham Jr. skipping practice to hang with new girlfriend Iggy Azalea - (
New Window )
I'm past blaming Beckham. Assholes are going to be assholes. If the Giants choose to pay an asshole 10% of their salary cap that's on them.
Coincidentally, in return she also offers V.D.
But since we now know that OTA's don't help established players in anyway,I guess it doesn't matter.Beckham also has that worth ethic which can't be challenged.After all,he told us himself,and that trumps blowing off the entire off season to hang out with Iggy,Johnny,and Dopey.
Not close to the worst of her problem quotes.
Beckham was better off messing with Amber Rose, if he was going to stay chasing women like this.

To teach new players the schemes. If they were so important, they'd be mandatory.
p.s.-- The reason they aren't mandatory is pretty straightforward: the CBA forbids it. I'm surprised you didn't know that.
Makes me wonder why Swaggy P qualified

Anak - that's hilarious, I was just going to post this. Mines has subtitles with a different translation. She's really talented.

Lost in that genius post was that he's been working out all offseason and he was paying for a trainer, the same one Manziel also used.
But otherwise you're right...
Yoko Ono?
Joey asked you a yes or no question and you're unable to answer. Yes or no?
What would be hypocritical about that?

Well I posted that on another thread, I did know it. So you can say yes, they're not mandatory because the league didnt prioritize that over something else in negotiations.
So the question is why. And the answer is that they're not super important. They're for installing scheme for guys who dont know it. Why do so many other guys go? It's beneficial for getting into things Im sure. But I bet a lot of vets go just to avoid being on coach's shit list. So basically pressure to volunteer their time to make boss happy.
da fuk was that? Good grief

If, on the other hand, it's simply a case of him blowing it off because he prefers to work out in California or wherever, that's a different story. Then it's a case of him being a poor teammate and a bigtime hypocrite.
What would be hypocritical about that?
I would much rather it be that he wants a contract extension. That's something his teammates can relate to.
versus this
And you all are questioning his judgment.
Is that supposed to be a woman, or something?

That's not what I'm not talking about.The point was if guys are losing there jobs,and evaluations are being made,than perhaps these voluntary practices should not be brushed off as nothing.

Cmon, man... let's not let facts get in the way of a completely non-sensical rant.
He spends the entire season with them. It's hardly hypocritical to consider them brothers but also want to spend some time training, or even just hanging out relaxing, partying, whatever, on his own. I love my family, but I hardly feel the need to spend all my time with them.

He talked (or tweeted) a lot about his teammates being brothers to him so you would think he would want to be with them.

Not as cool as you though

Iggy Azalea was on Michael Kay?
All the other hand wringing and absolution over the big mouth don't matter, there is a bottom line that no one wants to address for fear of looking like an old codger who might not be in touch. Yes or no, would you like him in NJ working with his team? The answer is yes for every single one of you, and you fucking know it. Now carry on with trying to be the cool dad or whatever you dim bulbs are trying to do.
Joey, while a year ago I would have totally responded with a resounding yes. But the thing is, he is a young player who enjoys his time off. I would much rather he not burn himself out and enjoy playing for the Giants. Shockey was the same way.
Players these days sometimes need to be given a length of leash before falling in line with their career goals. He doesnt hamg with a bad crowd, he doesnt do drugs, he doesnt fuck with guns and he diligently works out on his own. Him dropping balls in GB was just as much because of the enormity of his first playoff game that no amount of practice can cure.
Lastly, these OTAs are really just installations for the new players and players poused to take on a much larger role. Why in the hell do you want ODB doing that? [b]If your boss told you he wanted to have you come in on Christmas, Thanksgiving and and New Year's Day to do filing but it was purely optional, would you do it?
A) - what is he 18? He's obsessed with pussy so much he can't go to practice?
B) - they are dating. He can go to practice and f#ck her in a couple days. Or if she is too stupid to be cool with that, he can f#ck any hot broad walking down the street in NYC, Miami, LA or wherever he feels like going when the OTA's are over.

FWIW, I agree with Milton, it's about contract. And that's OK. But to blame playing it safe with injuries or choosing pussy over practice as if it's a good decision......f#ck that. BS.
woman, not the loser, Manziel. That would be a shame to miss
OTA's for Manziel, a woman is a different story.
He said he will be there next month, I don't get excited
about this stuff anymore. The Y2K players do their thing.
Whether you like it or not, it's the way it is.
A) - what is he 18? He's obsessed with pussy so much he can't go to practice?
Pretty disingenuous point. 100% chance she's into butt stuff.
My view, but if I am a Giants player at OTAs I think "why is this guy so special" than the rest of us putting out effort for the team? Again a respect thing. Reminds me of Shockey.

Well they're all free to not attend. Also, if they dont know that he's so special, they're probably very, very stupid. Guy is one of the great talents to ever lace them up. If he can avoid injuries he;ll cakewalk to the HOF.
Bottom line is that these are voluntary. The list of star players not attending over the years is long and distinguished.
As long as he's at mini camp in a few weeks, there's nothing to see here other than the media and some fantasy football geeks getting all fired up for nothing.

I'd 10 times out of 10 take getting laid over acting like a wannabe NFL Insider on a Giants board. You should try it sometime.

So would I. That wasn't my point, but reading comprehension isn't a strongsuit for a few here, including Bozo in ALB.
Just like Beckham can go to OTA's and the pussy will be there when he's done.
we'llbe ok
