OBJ on Tom Brady: "I'm a victim of a double standard"

LawrenceTaylor56 : 12/4/2017 11:27 am
Quote:
“I learned from him. This is the goat. So I’m following his lead, I just may not know how to express it the same way,” Beckham said of Brady.

“But don’t get it confused , how 12 feels about the game , I would have a hard time sayin that’s not EXACTLY how I feel.”

He's right. He'd be getting crucified here if he showed up Sullivan like that on the sidelines. But since it's Brady, it's just him being "fiery" instead of being an asshole.

arcarsenal : 12/4/2017 11:29 am : link
Actually, never mind just being crucified here - the media would have run with it, too.
Odell is absolutely correct.  
jsuds : 12/4/2017 11:31 am : link
And give me a guy who cares as much about winning as Odell does any day of the week.
Tom Brady is a special case  
rocco8112 : 12/4/2017 11:34 am : link
still wrong overall, but he gets a pass. But, if you guys want a team of players who are making pre-excuses for yelling at their coaches on national TV, be my guest.

This post - Eli era is going to be mighty interesting. I like Engram and Shep, if it was me I might try to move Beckham. Problem now is selling low since he js hurt.
he is right.

Misleading subject line  
eclipz928 : 12/4/2017 11:36 am : link
Beckham never said or tweeted that he is "a victim of double standard" - it shouldn't be quoted.

Misleading headline on the part of the NY Post as well - that's why they shouldn't be taken as a credible news source.
He's not wrong.  
an_idol_mind : 12/4/2017 11:37 am : link
However, you buy a certain amount of leeway when you've done the things Tom Brady did in his career.

Anybody remember when Simms and Parcells started screaming at each other on Monday Night Football? That would have been a huge deal if it had been anybody else, but Simms had bought himself the benefit of the doubt.
LOL at Beckham!

Why does Odell even paying attention to whats going on on the PATS sideline
It's always been this way  
santacruzom : 12/4/2017 11:40 am : link
I remember way back when Terrell Owens and Rich Gannon both had sideline explosions in the same Sunday. The reactions to them were wildly different from one another.
Brady has earned it  
Moondawg : 12/4/2017 11:40 am : link
Hasn't he?
Yep  
Joey in VA : 12/4/2017 11:40 am : link
Tom Brady peed in the end zone, and shows up on Twitter instead of Mini-Camp, punches and spears Josh Norman, kicks a fucking net, proposes to said net and fucks off to Florida a week before his first ever playoff game. Exactly like Tom Brady does.
Not even close to being comparable...  
bw in dc : 12/4/2017 11:42 am : link
One player cares about increasing his twitter followers and improving their brand.

One player only cares about winning.

OBJ is such jerk off.

Say what you will about Beckham - but I would have to seriously disagree with anyone who doesn't think he cares about winning.
He cares MORE about winning than anyone

That's why he gets celebration penalties and doesn't come to OTAs.

Hopefully the new GM trades this dumb fuck.

Oh, he cares. It's about four or five on this list, but he cares.

Great talent but one of the most self-centered, attention seeking, unhinged players I've seen in quite a while...

That would be the perfect trifecta.
Good to see Beckham  
Chris684 : 12/4/2017 11:55 am : link
keeping tabs on his "victim" status while injured.

And by the way, many, MANY people outside of New England dislike Tom Brady for the way he carries himself on the field. At times arrogant, and other times just odd or like he's trying too hard.

Beckham has the maturity level of a 16 year old.

I've little doubt that Beckham has convinced himself  
Overseer : 12/4/2017 11:55 am : link
that his actions are comparable to that of Tom Brady.

Delusion, obviously, but I've little doubt he's convinced himself of that.

Even if they were (they're not), it's true that legendary consistent champions do get additional leeway. MJ acted like a prick a lot too.

chuckydee9 : 12/4/2017 12:31 pm : link
responding on this thread.. that there are double standards.. I am not saying that there shouldn't be .. but most Giants fans that complain about OBJ are idiots.. All this that happened over the last 6-7 weeks is what OBJ was saving us from over the past 3 years.. Last year we would've won like 4-5 games without him.. with him we won 11.. this year when he was a 100% we went toe to toe with the best team in the league and lost on a almost impossible 61 yard kick in the last second.. without him we lose to SF..

Also do half of you idiots know what he was doing during voluntary training camp? There were shared videos on twitter.. take a look.. his workout with a specialist in California at that time is far harder than what NFL PA would allow at voluntary camp.. The dude cares about winning.. more than anyone here.. he is more successful at his job than anyone on BBI.. When you watch football you watch for entertainment.. When he watches other sports he watches to see how superstars in their sports are driven and how he can apply it to his profession.. All of this would be known if you care to pay attention to reality instead of just watching 10 second clips on espn sports center or listen to the pope..

The dude is something special.. if you can't see it.. I feel sorry for you...

I want guys to be fiery and show emotion..  
EricJ : 12/4/2017 12:35 pm : link

It arguably does if you net some high draft picks and avoid paying an historically gargantuan contract.

Plus, are you certain his quickness will not be sapped by the injury?

The Giants have not had trouble drafting WRs. Not just Beckham...Hakeem Nicks (late 1st rounder) was IMV quietly one of the top WRs of the past decade. His ceiling was absurdly fucking high.

This is really his only problem.. but this problem is so minor compared to the positives it brings that this is not significant.. Hopefully it will be fixed as he matures and coaches force him to improve on this.. but you don't trade him away because of this.. You don't suspend him for a game.. you basically coach him through this..

Yes, they are hilarious.

Ooohh no, not Tom Brady. No one can ever be in the same sentence as him.

Give me a break man. He'd say the same thing if it was Alex Smith yelling at Andy Reid. He's comparing the situation not their careers. You know that, but you are pretending you don't because it fits better with your Beckham rage.
nice to know he is worrying about himself

trueblueinpw : 12/4/2017 1:04 pm : link
Brady has won 5 Super Bowls, while OBJ has one playoff appearance where he choked. One the other hand, Brady has played in 7 Super Bowls, while OBJ has one playoff appearance where he choked.

So, yeah, OBJ, I see a double standard, in world without hate you and Tom Brady would be judged by the same standard.

I'm not sure why this is complicated for you. Brady has earned a ton of equity in this league. That gives him tremendous latitude to have these situations. And he's not posing for the camera like OBJ. He just happens to get caught in a football moment, that likely happens every weekend or weekday in practice.

OBJ is a camera hound. He's got a solar system complex where he thinks everything revolves around him. He has absolutely no self awareness. Not only should he be trying to get healthy, he should be seeing a therapist to get his narcissism in check...
He’s 100% right and not going anywhere thankfully
