Anyone Else Find It Ironic

Bernie : 3/13/2019 12:05 pm
that when Odell was on the Giants, the press made him out to be a malcontent, locker room cancer. Now he gets traded to the Browns and all of a sudden he is portrayed as a transcendent, future hall of fame player and all of the other "issues" are swept under the rug. Everyone in the press killed the Giants last year for signing him to such a big deal, and now after they trade him, they get killed for trading him on the cheap. Last year the Giants were mocked as being delusional for demanding two 1st round picks for him. This year they are getting mocked for not getting "multiple" 1st round picks. The revisionist history is nauseating.

been thinking about that all night! Funny you bring it up. Maybe it really is a NY Giant thing more than anything else.
In fairness the media always painted him as a very talented

player who was a distraction. Some went further than others, but they never played down his contribution on the field. That's something Giants fans did a much better job of than the media.

Perfect Bernie. They know so little..so very little and the younger generation seems to think they know something. They are awful and you my friend are exactly right.

Exactly. The sad thing is these click bait reports can really hurt a franchise
It's also funny how they are piling on the Giants

for only yielding a 1st, a 3rd, and a promising young safety, mere days after the Steelers got only a 3rd and 5th for Beckham's equal.
Two articles on ESPN trashing the Giants

No mention of the Lil Wayne interview or anything else on Beckham's side. We just decided to trade the guy for no reason I guess.
This is the prime example of why it is good that he is gone

OBJ was always a focus of the media. He was prone to being a bonehead which made matters worse. The Giants organization was stuck in his enormous shadow. It is better that he is gone.

I'm not going to get into him being injury prone. I would guess in three years this trade is going to look pretty good for the Giants.

It probably is going to help push Cleveland over the top as well. All in all...this was a good trade for both teams.
Anyone who gave a damn about the Lil Wayne interview

WTF? What exactly in my post do you disagree with? All you have to do is read the articles and everything I said is true.

Not ironic, but predictably pathetic. They can't even see their own hypocrisy.
It's not just sports...  
HoustonGiant : 3/13/2019 12:14 pm : link
It's everyday
Not ironic at all  
Harvest Blend : 3/13/2019 12:15 pm : link
that's the way most fans and all media are.
Nice Bernie - right on

You mean the interview where he took a dump on his coach and his team, and wouldn't commit to wanting to be in NY? You mean that interview?

Thats an interesting take.
'Anyone who gave a damn about the Lil Wayne interview'...

Anyone who didn't doesn't understand it's impact on fostering a succesful relationship between him and the team. And now he's gone. Thank God.
If Parcells or Little Bill were coach

They'd be dolts too then I guess.
