Odell counseling Eli Apple on twitter

Little Giants : 1/8/2018 1:06 am
Eli Apple has been talking trash tonight on twitter with random people coming after him. Finally, Odell chimed in and now they are having a bit of a back and forth.

I like seeing Odell trying to help his teammate out who clearly needs some help from friends.

Apple sucks

But Odell is right. These knuckleheads on Twitter aren't worth it. I don't even know why these athletes bother to have Twitter. Nothing good comes of it.

Eli Apple is depending on our next most emotionally unstable player for support.

I’m glad Odell is showing this level of maturity and sophistication

Horrified that Apple still does not get it.

Isn’t it more concerning that Apple is still behaving like this even after the supposed come to Jesus talk with Gettleman? It’s clear that apology aside, Collins 100% meant what he said. This guy is a cancer. If they keep him next season there is no way this is ending well

Is one hurting kid. That " love was fake" part showed it. I'm guessing he feels betrayed by step dad, after being dumped by dad...in his mind..now everybody leeching.

With the way he's acting out and the story about his family that became public; I kinda get the feeling Eli Apple might be battling depression.

I hope he gets help.

I know Brandon Marshall would be a good resource for him. He's a proponent for dealing with mental illness.
Eli Apple is a mental midget

To idiot trolls on twitter. He needs severe counseling. Tremendously insecure and needs to mature in order to have a career

...because even though OBJ seems to come off as the voice of reason in this whole thing, both are guilty for having the discussion out in the open. OBJ should be texting Eli.

Eli Apple with his comment about it always being fake love confirmed by thoughts about him. He and his mother have this victim mentality. Fake love for Eli Apple? His best fans would be the ones who are giving him encouragement on twitter. That is all he has left and he is calling them fake. Soon after he was drafted, why would fans be fake? It just makes no sense. Some of us never liked him from the beginning and we have been consistent.

I just do not see this kid turning it around. My prediction is that he does not start the season on this team. If we can get a 3rd round pick for him now I would do it.
Apple needs thicker skin.

into some rookie contracts. What a ridiculous distraction.
Yeah ...  
Beezer : 1/8/2018 8:49 am : link
... some people deserve privileges. I realize these people have contracts. But they ARE employees.

Legal folks - are there are things an employer can do to stop someone like Apple from using social media? Seems like maybe not, realistically, but it would certainly help focus someone like this guy.

No legal opinion here as I am not a lawyer, but do you really think social media is his problem? Social media is a symptom. Taking that away is not going to "focus" him. He is immature, not a victim of twitter.

It's not horrible but you dont think he should have spoken to him in private instead of on twitter? What is wrong with you?

We live in a world where we prefer all athletes do things the way we want them. These guys communicate online, people use apps to pick up chicks, it is what it is. And he could also very well be talking to him on the phone but is "standing up for him" in a way to the online community.

Fans also need to get with the times.
Yep...

You know why. It started there, it spread there and Odell wants everybody to SEE him supporting his teammate because in this day and age that carries more weight to these kids. You don’t know that he hasn’t called or texted him but public support from a high profile teammate will help. It’s weird, I get it but it’s the right path.
You know you have hit rock bottem when

Eli Apple may very well flop in the NFL, but it won't be because of his lack of culinary skills.

That's a ridiculous take for a draft guy to have.
Teammate?

People focused on the cooking comment but the guy was making a broader point that turned out to be true.
The broader point may not be relevant at all  
Ten Ton Hammer : 1/8/2018 3:25 pm : link
College athletes aren't well-rounded and adjusted people. They're highly specialized for one goal, making it to the pro level. I don't think very many of them enter the league with the same life skills you or I take for granted because they've never needed to have them in most cases. The life of a football player is a rigid routine.
The cooking thing was a perfect encaspulation  
Nitro : 1/8/2018 3:41 pm : link
of what a sheltered, hopeless case Apple is. No one is saying he need to be a well-rounded chef, nor was that the intent of the critique. I got the impression it was more commenting on something like he couldn't even make pasta or absolute basic, basic stuff. It was included as an illustration of his helplessness and his inability to cope with the 'rigors' of adult life, which the scout got down perfectly.

Lots of players go through trying things like parental divorce or estrangement. Most don't lash out at teammates, quit on the field, or make scatological jokes to reporters. It's not really in the Giants best interest with a team in flux to waste effort babysitting this headcase.

His broader point wasnt about home ec skillls. It was about emotional maturity. And obviously the scout was comparing him relative to his peers
