He used to cover Rangers when Torts was coach and his dumb questions and comments would drive Torts crazy.
The Giants are not trading ODB after the draft.  
Boy Cord : 3/10/2018 3:08 pm : link
No chance. If they trade him (which I don't think they have any intention of doing), it will happen before this draft so they can get an immediate return.
What the hell is he smoking?

Giants would be crazy to get rid of Odell, their greatest asset. Where do these guys get their information?

Keep asking this but does anyone have any actual proof that distractions truly exist in the pro sports landscape? I know the label exists. But is it really a thing? There’s tons of evidence to conclude that it’s a made up myth. Tons.

I think Manish is actually worse. After his tweets this week about a players drinking problem and FA, he can't be very welcome in the locker room

Shh according to him it was the giants fault they couldn't get patricia...

That is a famous daily news tactic, if they report something done and it doesn't happen it is the organization's fault for not completing the deal

If there are players on the New York Giants who are distracted by what OBJ does in the offseason, I'd very much like the management to figure this out and cut them.

That's the funniest, funniest, excuse making bullshit I've ever heard. Imagine what a total unaccountable loser wimp it would take to say that.
It's possible the Gettelman/Shurmur regime decides to sell him off.  
81_Great_Dane : 3/10/2018 5:12 pm : link
But why?

I know Beckham isn't Mark-Bavaro-stoic. So?

What exactly is the big deal about this new video snippet?

OBJ isn't doing half the stuff LT did back in the day. You don't get rid of a talent like that, you manage it.
This guy is such a tool.  
Dave on the UWS : 3/10/2018 5:15 pm : link
They are looking for a generational talent with the second pick. They already HAVE one in OBJ. You don't give that away. You keep at it until you get him somewhat under control. He's not going anywhere.

Glover : 3/10/2018 5:24 pm : link
make the rare move of paying a non-QB before his contract is up. Yes, he is a big media personality, yes he got some personal foul penalties that hurt the team, yes, he went on a boat cruise and played poorly in his first playoff appearance, yea, he punched a sheet rock wall, and YES, he was on video with a wide brown cigarette in his hand and some girl with some white stuff and a credit card (I have only seen stills, I haven't seen the actual video), but the Giants need to keep the best player they have had since L.T. Pay the guy now, and by the time his 3, 4, or 5 year extension is up, and he's still a top 3 WR in the league, his contract will be reasonable.
Of course Giants fans won't bemoan doing anything else when he's inducted into the HOF on another team that WILL pay him.
He should be paid as the top WR in the game this offseason. Thats what it's going to be. He's not getting top QB money. He's a business man, I think he will accept that reality. They will have to pay him more than Mike Evans no doubt, but they might as well do that now or they will have to pay even more.

When someone makes it a point to tell you that they have inside info but that they're not going to share it, you don't immediately realize what their motivation is?

It's not like that. I've shared a lot here. I'm don't need attention. I've killed Beckham here more than anyone.

I do have to agree with Leonard here and I think he will be traded for sure though. I think this last video is going to force a conversation.

Also...one more thing....if you look really hard the info was actually posted on the internet somewhere today.

Not to defend TLG, but he caught a ton of shit for the AR and the MWGCS. My guess is that the info that was shared to TLG is along those lines. Hence, "it doesn't play well here".
The Taylor vs Beckum comparison is a lazy one  
arniefez : 3/10/2018 5:50 pm : link
Taylor was not a distraction his demons played out in private. Taylor never made a spectacle of himself on the field was never a look at me guy during games. It was a different time obviously with no social media. Beckum isn't anywhere close tot he player Taylor was either. I'll drive him to Cleveland for the #1 pick and their 2nd round picks.

Giantslifer : 3/10/2018 5:52 pm : link
Not sure if video is legit or not. If OBJ insists on acting like a college kid (at best) ,
Giants should not negotiate any contract with him.
Who knows , Goddell may be calling at this moment. Time for random drug test!
If they can get a 1st and some later pick next year -- OBJ, Enjoy your new life in
AZ,Indiana, maybe Baltimore
It is past time for him to be acting this way. If nothing else - put away the camera.

That's 100% true. LT was an all time great. Beckum was a disappointment, even for a 3rd round pick. But I doubt Cleveland is giving us anything for a player who hasn't played since 2011.

If by play well you mean getting absolutely laughed at because you post 3rd hand gossip about people you don't know on the internet, sure.

Agreed. I realize we don't win 7 games 2 years ago without him, but I don't like the idea of OBJ being the locker room leader for years to come. He's no LT or Strahan. Draft the sky high character guys like Barkley and Nelson and build our culture around them.

The thing you seem to not understand is folks on this site appreciate learning about and talking about football. If you know something interesting and want to share it in a relevant conversation that's awesome.

Lots of posters through the years have done that and been really great contributors. It makes the site special.

But knowing something private about a player or situation, and then slapping your own back constantly that you said it, and derailing virtually every conversation on the topic isn't fun for anyone.

I'd also be very, very careful posting about players private lives. What's the value?

My company, in which I'm pretty high-ranking, works with pro athletes regularly, including a lot OBJ last year. His private choices and lifestyle are not secerets among anyone who's spent any amount of social time with him. I know lots of people who know him.

But I don't know him. The only thing I've witnessed is he's incredibly nice and really pleasant to work with.

Sharing anything else would just be weird and nasty.

OBJ is the worst type of player for your team. All world talent creating the illusion we should win with him but enough of a head-case on the field that he will be a liability in big spots. I do not give this guy a huge contract when we are rebuilding. In fact, I don't want him on my team.

OBJ is the worst type of player for your team. All world talent creating the illusion we should win with him but enough of a head-case on the field that he will be a liability in big spots. I do not give this guy a huge contract when we are rebuilding. In fact, I don't want him on my team.


I can't believe people actually think like this. OBJ is the worst type of player for your team. I guess you are entitled to your opinion, but it's based on nonsense. You don't like the guy so he's bad for the team. Nothing else supports this thought. The guy is the best WR in football, his teammates rally around him and say nothing but great things about his abilities and work ethic. He's flamboyant and attracts attention due to his lifestyle, but that doesn't effect games in the least.
