OBJ now with Iggy Azalea, not Johnny Manziel

81_Great_Dane : 5/25/2017 12:37 am
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.

All i can picture is this, but I'm sure it's not who it is. At least I don't think Beckham is hanging around with Ziggy.





Somebody help pjcas18 out and post a pic of Iggy Azalea... rear view...please





gracias. I don't get it, why would people be mad about Beckham hanging out with her?

all I can say is that he is not taking his job as seriously as those who showed up. Is he a leader on this team or not? He has a few new team mates on offense to get in sync with. He should be here lining up with Marshall, Engram, and Shepard. Working things out with Eli because last year the offense struggled.

There are only 10 OTA days and he is missing three this week. How many times do you think Jerry Rice or Larry Fitzgerald missed practices that were not mandatory?

OBJ is an amazing talent and the best WR we have had ever. Unfortunately his head is not 100% into this and I do not see him having a LONG successful career.


FFS...because he missed a few OTA, now he's not taking his job seriously? Every report coming out of practices states that OBJ is a freaking workhorse when it comes to preparing for the game. You make it sound like he's Jeff George or something.

And as far as him having a long successful career, if his first three years is any indication, I doubt you'll be proven right in your dumb (as usual) thinking. Barring injury, he'll go down as one of the best receivers to play the game in the modern era.
LOL...

The Schnoz... it's all about the schnoz... Iggy doesn;t have a hideous schnoz like Parker.
listen, I  
Les in TO : 5/25/2017 11:29 am : link
love OBJ I am one of his biggest supporters and defenders and he is hands down the most important player on the Giants. we are probably 2-14 last year without him. by all accounts he is a great teammate and a truly nice guy. and as long as he is taking care of his body, optimizing his health and fitness, I could not care less whether he bowls with iggy azalea or watches Netflix with his family in his free time.

but I think there are legitimate questions about his judgement and ability to say no to external influences, and whether he learned anything from the playoffs last season, when he was partying in Miami the weekend before a playoff game, and then crapped the frozen tundra bed of lambeau field. although the duke workout was voluntary and these organized team activities are voluntary, they are opportunities to bond and workout with teammates. instead of working out and practicing with his teammates he is hanging out with the likes of trainwreck johnny manziel and celebrities in LA. he needs to know that in this social media/phones everywhere world, optics matter and the optics of him skipping out on team activities while having fun in LA is not going to be pleasant when he returns to face the NY media. combined with reports of him skipping out on signing engagements that he committed to, I think he needs some better managers/handlers who keep him focused on football and limiting external influence

What you're really saying is he needs a babysitter. But he's a grown man. And he's a grown man with some issues. Issues that run deeper than maturity. Maybe what he really needs is a good shrink. But he is who he is. And one of the things he is is a helluva football player.

The problem is that when you are a superstar athlete  
Vanzetti : 5/25/2017 12:43 pm : link
you don't get to live the normal life of a 24 year old.

You have to be mature beyond your years and Odell obviously isn't. He is like a normal young dude rather than a professional in the way he handles himself.

Norman getting into his head is part of that immaturity.

Of course, all the media buzz is also what landed Odell the big contract from Nike. So it cuts both ways
that's a problem for fans  
UConn4523 : 5/25/2017 12:46 pm : link
not Beckham. He's done absolutely nothing wrong despite the 24/7 coverage. Bowling and water, working out with a paid professional, signing a Nike contract. The horror.

So hip and progressive aren't you? Simple question for all the usual know it alls, would you prefer that your star player attend workouts with his teammates or skip them? Very very easy question, you get to pick, yes or no to practicing with his team?

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.

In the playoffs.

If he doesn't mature and help lead us to a playoff win all while being cool with Eli spreading the ball more now with Marshall who won't just let Eli target him twice a game like Cruz and rightfully so.

Anyway if Obj doesn't mature and has another playoff stinker this year ... I would shop him and see if a Hershel Walker deal exists.. otherwise I make him a contract offer and just hope he's worth the money

Well on the one hand he dropped some balls in OTAs. On the other hand, he's had by far the most productive beginning to his career of any receiver in league history. So \_(ツ)_/

arcarsenal : 5/25/2017 1:33 pm : link
I know many posters struggle with grey area - it's usually one extreme or the other - but believe it or not, OTA's can actually be more significant for certain players than others.

For young guys learning the offense or bubble players fighting tooth and nail to make the roster, yes.. it's important that they're there.

For a player who has already proven to be elite, knows the offense, and has a roster spot locked down? Not so much.

I'm not one of the people who has voiced an opinion on Beckham either way but I think you've built a pretty nice straw man.

Not one person on here said given the choice they wouldn't prefer him at OTA's. Of course they would. Everyone would also like him working out with Eli at Duke and any other opportunity during the off-season to spend time together abd build a better rapport.

that being said I think most reasonable people understand a 4th year WR, in generally the same playbook as the past couple years missing OTA's is not something to get worked up about. Rookies, new additions to the team, etc. will fall behind, but I'm pretty confident while I'd prefer Beckham attend (as would almost everyone else on here) I'm not going go sweat him missing it.

On a side note, this is all the doing of the NFLPA. They are the worst union/association in sports for many reasons, their athletes are the most underpaid (based on career longevity) and most susceptible to long-term injury yet they dig their heels in on stuff like limiting the number of training camp practices and making team activities voluntary. They need to get their priorities straight as a union.

Beckham can do whatever he wants. So can the Giants with regards to giving him a massive contract.

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.

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.

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.
