He just made a very interesting comment. He said he spoke to Odell, Odell felt he was never really appreciated by the Giants FO. He also stated Odell was upset that he did not get an opportunity o pick the team he was going to. I find that a very interesting comment. Victor Cruz took a shot saying he does not believe the Giants have a plan. My guess he will not becoming back to visit the Giants or their FO anytime soon. He went on to say Eli's best years are behind him. Very interesting.
Another post that makes sense.
What hell isnwrong with BBI these days?
Never change.
Sorry, not my cup of tea.
Don't exaggerate to make your point. But alright, a 1,000 yard season on the 28th ranked offense is terrible, good to know. It still has next to nothing to do with his credibility in his current role though.
Also maybe I'm misreading the original post but is he siding with Odell or just relaying what Odell said? It's not a shot to say the Giants don't have a plan. DG can say whatever he wants but until it plays out on the field, they have not earned the benefit of the doubt.
Feelings mutual
He's massively spoiled and entitled. That's not new to professional athletes, but the level it reaches now with the insane money and access to the best life has to offer ... they literally live in a universe few of us get to experience, it warps the perspective.
Can't believe he wanted input on picking his new team. Good luck explaining that to Cleveland and the fans.
But just a hint of perspective here is needed.
It seems like some of the players now believe they are bigger than the League.

And a person taking shots at the Giants to stay relevant and side with a known head case?

Answer these riddles?
Did he take a shot at Eli?
Did he take a shot at the Giants?
Did he take a shot at Odell?
One of the answer is no... take a guess which one.
$95 million dollars and you whine about not being appreciated?
Cry me a river!
He should be happy he didnt end up in Buffalo. A fate far worse than Cleveland.

Product of his generation. Odell thinks he is a victim.

Every generation has arrogant pricks. And every generation has people who aren't.
Unless he gets injured, Barkley will probably make more $$$ than OBJ ever will, both in endorsements and with his player contracts. And he'll never be an arrogant douche.

If their sights change from winning to fame and fortune, absolutely. Money and fame have blown past the original intent of the career.
The narrative of OBJ not wanting to be here, IMO, is false. You don't sign a 5 year extention in a place you don't wanna be.
Just my 2 cents.

It's not every player (or millenial), but I think it's cleary much more pervasive now than it ever was.
I believe they signed him to that contract because they wanted him around- whether for on the field production or a barging chip for future trades.
He’s been knocking Eli since he retired and the giants as well. The ace is there.
I know he’s shot too. And he may be right about the Giants. But doesn’t an analyst who is good at their job should be objective. At no point does he knock Beckham. A true analyst would have scoffed st Beckham’s request. A true analyst would acknowledge his cancerous ways.
He doesn’t hence why his opinion doesn’t hold fruition for me.
The return wasn’t what we might have gotten last offseason, but it’s better than the 2 mid round picks the Steelers got
The best part of the trade for us may not be the #17 pick, Peppers or the extra third. I think all of those could fail and it would still be the wise move merely based on addition by subtraction.

You would think. But after he signed, he made noise about about being in California. He also has not hidden his desire to play with Landry.

I agree with this
QUICK, TO THE FAINTING COUCH!!!!!

That's the part that cracks me up and illustrates how flaky he can be. He says he was shocked to get traded yet he spent from Sept on basically working towards it. When you think of how pissed off the FO, Owners, and Shurmer were after he goes and shits on the team right after signing a great contract it was inevitable.
Add in the injury (a bruise), the F**k off to the Coach, leaving the field before time had expired, the dog pissing in the EZ and yet he's "Shocked"?
Lol... hard to argue. Great player. Great asshole.
Eli's best days are behind him at 38? Groundbreaking stuff.
As far as Beckum goes the Giants sent him to Cleveland. Baker, Jarvis the really good defense. None of that matters. I don't believe it was random or that they were blown away by the Browns offer. Gettleman said he didn't even shop the offer. They sent him to Cleveland.
I get in 2019 you can be a star in any city. But Beckum getting sent to Cleveland is damn funny no matter how they do on the field.
I'll set the over/under on two years before the Browns have to get him out of there because he's not worth the drama and I'll take the under.
But I got more than a little worried when he got hurt, came back and played the following week and seemed alright, but then sat for the final four weeks. At the time, Shurmur kept saying he expected him back.
They are paper champions. Their roster looks amazing. Can a first year HC corral those troops? Should be fun to watch.

He was visibly limping during the Bears game, I wouldn't say he seemed alright
It was cold, but it was true -- his contract WAS a huge mistake. Just as his words now just may be true.

$95M for a player that caused more than his share of, let's call them distractions, tobe kind. Yeah, sure, he was undervalued and underappreciated /sarcasm off.
Go the fuck away already.
I guess they didn't bow down and kiss his ring. That or because they didn't see the value of his most memorable simulation of a dog marking the end-zone as his territory.
he doesn't have a ring
Anyone who calls a player "a cancer" is an imbecile.

I'd expect that from someone who, at any point, thought Shockey was the best.

If you've ever dealt with people who have actual cancer, you'd find a better word to describe your irrational feelings about a football player.
If the usage of the word cancer offends you, I apologize. But I doubt it really does.

Yeah, the bruise that had him sit 4 games and that onside attempt vs Chicago was when you could tell he quit on the team. Keep in mind one of the things everyone saw was that even though we were out of it no player quit on the team except arguably OBJ.
The more you really dig into the situation the more you realize it had to be done and we actually got excellent value for it

Is there a report on that?
