Responding to a good amount of fans and “haters”...he said “ I gave them everything I had bruh bruh errr Sunday . Just put some respect on my name that’s all I’m sayin! I ain’t sayin nothin, n trust me I got a LOTTTTT of info that people don’t kno about so, so keep my name outcha mouth the way I do yalls ! Ya diggg“
Constantly talking about how happy he is where he landed (is he tho?) and acting as if he’s gonna take the high road, yet continues with his passive aggressive remarks. Listen, I still wanted #13 here, and hated that we gave him up, but this is something I do not miss. Wondering when he’s gonna be all in his feelings and trying to figure out his hidden messages. Good Luck OBJ.
Good riddance.
Not sure if serious ... but Peppers is going to surprise a lot of people
Love him in this scheme.
Look at this data. Efficiency and productivity are above average. Can’t stay healthy, can’t shut his mouth, among the league leaders in drops ... good riddance

Dude you got caught smoking crack with a prostitution while eating bad pizza. No one in NY gives a shit about you anymore.
WTF
There is literally no evidence of Odell "smoking crack."

Agreed.
I wonder if he's referring to DG's remark about not having a culture problem here anymore? Because if he is, he must have a guilty conscious since DG never said his name, and did "keep OBJ's name outta his mouth".
But I am not going to knock him.
Dude you got caught smoking crack with a prostitution while eating bad pizza. No one in NY gives a shit about you anymore.
What are you talking about? Even if that video showed drugs it definitely did not show anyone smoking crack.
No one has his ear. His blonde hair is in the way. No seriously, who can tell a kid with a $90 million deal anything anyway... I could have sworn he said he was staying away from social media after the trade... guess that lasted a good half of a week LOL I wish him the best but he still needs to grow the hell up... he is on the AB/TO trajectory... great player but his legacy will take a hit due to his childishness, in the end.
no way he prefers Cleveland to the Big Apple. Especially a guy who loves the limelight the way he does.
Excuse me young man, I speak jive...
They sucked with him, they can suck without him
but i hated that he was the focus of the team and did nothing to keep the focus off of himself. he was a constant distraction.
and for all his talent, the one chance he had to be in the post season he screwed it with the boat trip. i know a lot of people disagree, but sports (like anything worth working for) requires complete focus and dedication. i don't buy that bullshit that it was a day off. you just don't do it.
he might NEVER be in the post season again. if he goes his whole career without a post season win, he really has no legacy.
“Thank u, next”

Honestly one of his best contributions as a Giant was not playing the last 2 games. We lost each game by a point. He plays we very well may have won them and been picking 12th or 13th Thursday night...
What sanity
So glad I did not send my kids to LSU.
If you get rid of all the recreational drug users on an NFL team you'd have 10 players left. Only thing he did stupid was let film escape. Take one out of Jeters page and confiscate cell phones
He can’t. And they won’t. I don’t care how talented he may be, between injuries and immaturity I don’t think he reaches he heights he could.
He’s not a generational talent either IMO. Another phrase dumber down along w franchise QB. He’s already cracking up.

I think he is a product of his generation. He has everything, but still isn't happy.
An old fart like me would tell him, "Just shut up and play." But that shit doesn't even fly with my own son today.

Lazily painting millennials with a very broad brush. You see very few of these guys with odell's middle school antics. Saquon, julio, kamara, wilson, melvin gordon to name 5 right off the top of my head. Very few bring the constant attention seeking antics that odell does
Good riddance.
BS! He's had over 1000 yards every year with the Giants except one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odell_Beckham_Jr.
And he definitely wasn't among the league leaders in drops
https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?season=2018&week=100&category=RECEIVING&opp=0&sort=11&qualified=1&sortOrder=0&page=1
He didn't do much in the 2016 playoff game but one game is a pretty small sample size. Eli sucked in his first playoff game (113 yards and 35.0 QB rating) should we have gotten rid of him, lol.
Enjoy Cleveland, or at least keep pretending to. He did this to himself.
... - ( New Window )
And yes, I'm a "get off my lawn" SOB.
It's hard to blame some of these guys. It's a brutal game. Their careers are short. They are lucky if they get a second contract. They are less willing to be used by corporate football teams.
But there is a sense of entitlement with these young guys. And again, I see it with my own children. My wife and I are left scratching our heads on some of this stuff.

1000 yards is not an accomplishment with the number of targets he gets.
He was 18th in receiving yards last year.
Healthy seasons: 1/5
Drops aren’t an issue? Click below
Eli’s not some attention whore who didn’t step up in his biggest games.
Oops - ( New Window )
He'll likely blame everyone else, but the locker room really knows if he was hurt the last 4 games/ IV stuff was BS.
Was a fan but glad the high school drama is gone.

I agree with half of what you say. He isn't a bad guy. He is not Antonio Brown or Tyreek Hill in that sense. But he does have issues (emotional? psychological? whatever) that go beyond your typical "product of his generation" in my opinion.

Ha ha
When I mentioned him as the latest "Ruth" type, then there was Shockey and now OBJ.
Every generation has it's share of the self consumed. Jim Brown exemplified that with the Browns .....
Hell raising A-hole. Not even coach Paul Brown could talk to him directly. When he needed to communicate to Jim about team discipline , he would pick out somebody else to yell at - to get the message to Jim
If you don't fuel the drama... it's over before you know it
It's interesting to note that OBJ automatically assumes Gettleman is talking about him.
I hope you're right, because it's a daily battle with my teens (ages 13-15) about having some humility.

Didn’t say he was a junkie. I Asked if he seems like he has a lot of self
Control. Which can lead to issues. And since bailed on the last 3 games I can question his dedication easily. I also don’t think he’s jerk or a total slacker. Nor does he seem like a bad dude. Just think he’s a guy whose career can go either way at this point.
I think he’s dedicated to his brand first. Which again is fine. But if that’s the case it can effect his play as Well IMO

Exactly, this could be about Apple, Snacks, Collins, Vernon, Flowers, or a combination.
I am still bummed to some extent that we won’t have OBJ’s playmaking ability out there anymore, but I won’t miss the rest. I like what Gettleman is doing, bringing in team first guys. Saquon appears to be the ultimate team player, add to that a guy like Tate who has always been a team first guy.
I think you are seeing the bad aspect of social media in cases like this. The timing of the emergence of social media happens to go hand in hand with the millennial generation, but I think you would have seen the same crap from players a decade or even multiple decades ago if they had a device in their hands.
Quote:

James Dolan has everything and still isn't happy. Bill Parcells had everything and still wasn't happy. A slew of political leaders - including some you admire - have everything and are still aren't happy. Must millennials be blamed for everything? People of all ages display these traits.
eric has cranky old man syndrome. every generation bitches about how awful the next one is. it always happens, but old people convince themselves they're objectively correct that their kids are "worse." i remember hearing old people like my parents bitch about gen-xers, the horrible TV generation LMAO.
the millennial generation is arguably more fucked than any prior since the depression-era "greatest." advanced resource depletion, stagnant wages, crushing loan debt, deficit spending ad infinitum, active shooter drills, spiraling artificial intelligence and social media, partisan hackery and ideologues louder than ever, suicide and drug overdoses climbing, having less sex than ever, the general decline of american empire. they were born in a garbage cultural moment, i kinda feel for em.
As a parent, this crosses my mind regularly. But I consider myself sterner than even my parents, who were very liberal and generous with me. I don't discount it, but it feels like there are other influences at work.
If anything, he seems "privileged."
Quote:
is also influenced by peer pressure. The difference between Beckham and your kids is that your kids are still kids and not professional athletes. I think basically your kids see other kids getting or doing certain things and then expect it from you. Your kids just don't have the perspective of an adult yet who earns a living and has to foot the bills. Once Beckham got the contract he wanted, he should have lived up to it. His behavior on the field and on the sideline sometimes upstaged his teammates and certainly didn't help "team culture."
I hope you're right, because it's a daily battle with my teens (ages 13-15) about having some humility.
When I get down about not having any kids yet I just think of that and multiply it by 100x with twitter and the other new platforms. That gives me humility.
Entitled to not give a fuck about the economy or environment their children would inherit. Entitled to grope women and treat them like shit. Entitled to beat their wives. Entitled to move to suburbs that kept out minorities. Entitled to have separate bathrooms and drinking fountains. Entitled to not have to work with Jews.
Concerns over "entitlement" go both ways.

yea, i'm not somuch concerned about millennial entitlement, not sure if that's what you were getting at. middle and upper middle class teens (and teens in general) will often act like entitled dicks and i don't think that was really any different in my generation (X) than it is now.

Yes japanhead I agree. I am also a gen x’er. I think the difference is the social media platform to bitch about everting that exists now. We didn’t have that at a young age. The thoughts were probably the same, but the platform didn’t exist.
The "next" generation is always looked at as entitled and lazy by the previous generations. Human nature, I guess.
When I was young, my parents were poor. But I grew up "privileged" as my family improved their lot in life. As a teen, I didn't want for anything. But we - and I mean a collective we as in my generation - knew there were lines that shouldn't be crossed. If for anything, simply out of respect. That seems to be eroding. Perhaps some think this is good. As a product of my generation, I don't think it is.
So why did you sign the mega deal, doofus? And why do you want more guaranteed money in Cleveland?
I think he is a product of his generation. He has everything, but still isn't happy.

Getts smirked and said, that's not going to happen.
Yeah I think missing him will be a negative. By far and away the hardest athlete to ever root for on my favorite team. Hope the Giants never honor him with anything. But I’m still sure there will be fans cheering and supporting him...
Shocking- shocking
Fan base takes shots at player after he leaves (and after he got hurt 2 years in a row on plays having nothing to do with his “ability to stay healthy”- shocking

I love the...went to suburbs and kept minorities out????
Where do people get that kind of thinking?
1st, I am a minority who lives in the suburbs. Prior to having children, I lived in manhatten....but wanted my kids to grow up slower then I.....so i moved out.
My kids know they must create their entitlments...not to just expect them, as life is unfair. My daugther is a nurse at night in an intensive care unit....goes to school as well to up her degree
Yes, some have an easier lives...some harder....not due to privilage but circumstance....we have to work harder as I am a 1st generation immigrate...
I have some entitlments, but all were created by me...none given
Shocking.
Both need to do less talking and more putting up this year.
PS. The “millennial” thing is tired. Older generations have always been insufferable with their yelling at clouds. At least with the Greatest Generation and some that preceded it, they left the younger generations better off than they were. Can’t say the same about the Boomers and jury is out on the Xers.
Gettleman: Not anymore..

I was referring to the redlining practices that went on for decades in the US which denied homeownership opportunities (among other things) to minorities creating real estate segregation.

Did Gettleman rip his own players and coaches with a famous rapper next to him? Looks like Beckham can certainly dish it but certainly not take it.

No doubt.
It had to do with banks and financial institutions not lending monies for areas/properties that carried too much risk. Sure that lead to some discrimination.
One can also say, they might have be saving someone from themselves.
Here is what I tell my kids.....
if you are looking for discrimination, you can always find it. If you do not let anything stop you, nothing will.
It reminds me of the ratings scene from Private Parts
Kenny: How could this be?

Yeah, he’d be better off not engaging, but the OP and narrative that this represents OBJ ranting isn’t quite accurate - he’s defending himself, and I didn’t see him putting down anyone in response.
He’s a weird guy, no doubt, but I honestly don’t think he’s a bad guy, as others have said. Being emotional, insecure, and seeking attention then being uncomfortable when he gets it make for these kind of awkward situations...but the NFL has had far worse than OBJ amongst its ranks.
As for the trade, I’m fine with it bc we need to rebuild, but I don’t necessarily think DG’s comments were about OBJ directly as much as the collection of guys he shipped out.
Time to move on, for us and for him.
I wish him well. He has amazing talent, a joy to watch.

Lol at the "good riddance" crowd. I don't even mind that he's gone for larger, cultural reasons. The locker room needed new leadership and a new identity. A purging of the guard that was in place. But that sentiment has absolutely nothing to do with what the kid is tweeting.
Looking forward to seeing Gettlemen proved to be a genius this upcoming year. Seriously, it would be hilarious. I'm not buying it, but would love to see it. Sick of Giants football seasons over before Halloween.

Nothing would be sweeter than nailing this draft again with 2-3 top prospects on defense, getting back to running the ball at will, and getting into the playoffs at 9-7 for 1 more Eli playoff run.
Gimme Wilkins, Bush/Burns, Risner top 3 and this team can win those games they blew last year
But, I think they're facing a challenge of growing up in a much more difficult world than I did. Social media, 24x7 news, the massive focus on image, and the insane amount of money made by celebrities all create different types of pressure and stress.
He may be an insane athlete but all this shows he’s a big whiny bitch. He had it all. Put the phone down and grow up.

It's interesting. If you didn't live before the internet and social media, you just can't really understand, truly understand, what it's like to live without those things.
They are not just two different ballparks, they are different galaxies. I feel both fortunate and cursed that I lived in a time where I grew up completely devoid of the internet and everything that came with it. It is impossible for anybody born after, including my kids, to ever understand what that was like.
A turningpoint in human history. It has rewired the way the human brain develops. For better or worse, TBD I guess....

That I can agree with. This is where the proliferation of safe spaces really comes from. People want to live in this fishbowl and can't handle any the negatives that come with it, some people may disagree with what you are putting out there. I'm in my early 30s and this insecurity seems to run rampant among those younger than me and even some in my age group.
Your OBJ, why the fuck do you care what people have to say about you. One of the most exciting players in the NFL worth 100 million. If that is me, I'm smiling all day and saying people are entitled to their opinion. I think that is why most of us still love LT, even with his failures as a human being. People that have rock solid security in themselves tend to be more likeable than those that come off like Odell here.

You can't help it, you were born into it. That's just my take on it.
More often than not, the image isn't reality, either. It's just how you want to be perceived.
It's like some people I know. I know the reality of their lives, but if you were to look at their social media feeds, you'd think they were living the life of luxury with no worries, super well adjusted kids and marriages, and not a care in the world. Daily life is not like that.
Social media isn't real life.
You can't help it, you were born into it. That's just my take on it.
I can understand it. Millenials are getting blamed for everything when they are just reacting to the world, culture and parenting style provided for them.
No one ever caveats their snark towards millenials
The hate that Tiki got for his comments should be multiplied by 100 with this crap. If they ever put his name in the ROH, that would be messed up.
But I personally would define them as the first generation that either came of age, or were brought up, during the rise of the internet.
"Oh what has this buffoon done now?"
I was born in 81, so depending on what site you see out there, I am the beginning of the millennial generation. Even if you were born a few years after.
I get what you are saying though, the other end of the generation (mid 90's), never know what life was without internet.

Yeah, I was born in 76. Graduated HS in 94. Internet wasn't a thing, but by the end of college it was. It happened fast.
So glad Odell has chosen the Tiki route vs the Stratham route, enjoy Cleveland you overrated little punk
its one thing to say (which i agree with to some extent)-- the giants needed to go in a different direction and as constructed it wasnt working... another to say they got good value if one believes that, and the locker room needed shake up as he is a polarizing guy on a bad team... which is a bad combo.
its another to just start saying the good riddance as if the guy wasnt (ex barkley now) the only reason to turn on a giants game since he arrived. and the main reason offensively why the team even saw a playoff game... which he then totally botched

Among the league leaders in drops since 2016, always hurt, never shuts up, childish antics, off field distractions, and was absolutely terrible in the biggest game of his career.

This. The moment I truly viewed Barkley as the franchise player was when he broke off a long run early in the season for a TD. Beckham comes running down to try to get Barkley to participate in some stupid dance and Barkley shrugged him off. He shrugged him off because we were still losing the game.
Agree. Actually think it was a decent call to part with him too early than too late. But I don’t wish him poorly at all. He was fun to watch. But I am wary of WRs once they start getting leg injuries. Hopefully, Peppers thrives and DG nails this draft.
Most millennials are single, never mind kids. The latest stat I saw had their marriage rate around 30%.

everyone knows there was a culture problem on the giants. hell, beckham probably knew it. getting rid of hart, apple, flowers, et al. were part of addressing that. OBJ was traded much later on and may or may not have been directly related to the culture problem. beckham should stop acting butthurt about it. best revenge is living well or some shit like that.
Yes. If you read between the lines, he's admitting he's an asshole.
Both need to do less talking and more putting up this year.
PS. The “millennial” thing is tired. Older generations have always been insufferable with their yelling at clouds. At least with the Greatest Generation and some that preceded it, they left the younger generations better off than they were. Can’t say the same about the Boomers and jury is out on the Xers.
Yeah, those Boomers certainly did a magnificent job with that whole marriage thing.
Just go on with your life and concentrate on your new team you bloviating diva.
