NGT: Beckham being Beckham again

Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/27/2022 2:17 pm
Ryan Dunleavy @rydunleavy

I don’t know much and can’t confirm, but there is video making rounds now and airport passengers accusing Odell Beckham of unruly behavior on a flight that had to deboard


CG @TheMalibuArtist

Replying to @obj
Forcing us off the plane because you were unresponsive and unruly is not comedy to the hundreds of folks trying to get home dude. Not cool man.

SLATER SCOOP: Odell Beckham Jr. was kicked off a plane in Miami on Sunday.

Flight crew said the NFL WR was in and out of consciousness and wouldn’t put on his seat belt, I’m told.

The Los Angeles bound flight was delayed after Beckham refused to leave making everybody get off.

I wonder if they really thought he might be "sick," or thought he was too drunk/stoned to comply with safety instructions in an emergency. Both are legitimate concerns.

Nobody's rooting against Odell. We're rooting against the Giants make a bad contract decision.

Beckham can do as much blow with hookers in hotel rooms as he wants if the Giants are able to sign him to a no-risk deal that lets them cut the cord whenever they want.

I would be shocked if Mara allowed Schoen to sign him. The Giants gave Odell the largest contract in Giants history. Just a few weeks later he openly said he would prefer to play elsewhere. My guess is Mara at that moment told DG to find a way to get this a-hole off of his team.

If Mara was going to pull rank and preemptively veto a Beckham signing, he wouldn't be coming in for a visit. We'd have known a long time ago that his re-signing here wasn't in the cards.

That isn't all that happened. When police and fire responded to a possible medical emergency, they asked him to get off the plane, and he refused. Until eventually, they had to get everyone else off the plane first.

He was flying Miami to LA, so if he took it he probably timed it by taking it right before he boarded to be knocked out for the 6 hours in the air.

I feel bad for the other people on that flight who had to be delayed, but this might be a bit of an overblown story. Flight crew did the right thing looking out for his safety, but I'd wager that he's done this sort thing before with most flight crews looking the other way.

Who is OBJ Dude?

I like OBJ a lot. But he is just not worth a long term deal especially if he won't be ready until the last two games.

They can draft someone in the 2nd or 3rd round for a fraction of what he will want that does not have two ACL repairs.

My personal feelings about Beckham are irrelevant. There's absolutely a contract he could sign with the Giants that I'd be fine with. But it's probably not a contract he's interested in signing.

My concern is that Schoen listens to fans motivated by sentiment and overpays for a 30-year-old less than ten months removed from ACL surgery. Barkley tore his ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season and it was two years before he was back to his old self.

Most people would put on their seatbelt and the flight would take place.
I'm sure we'll get more details soon  
eclipz928 : 11/27/2022 5:47 pm : link
but it sounds like he was asked to put on a seatbelt but because he was so out of it he didn't respond to the instruction. At that point the flight crew had to take precautions regarding his mental/ physical state and get him off the plane.

Beckham probably not understanding the situation and how it looked for other people likely argued to stay on the plane once medical staff and police showed up. I'm sure he said that he was fine, and just tired - but at the end of the day he's responsible for following the airline rules and shouldn't expect special treatment.

But again, there's no indication as of yet that he was being belligerent towards flight crew or that he even verbally refused to put on his seat belt.

No drama here.

Exccept, maybe, if you are one of the hundreds forced to have your travel plans disrupted and forced to de-board, be delayed, and miss whatever you had planned. But hey, it probably wasn't as important as Odells sleep.

I'm sure the kids and people witnessing the police and firetrucks and ambulances likewise concur it was a low drama scene.

I'm glad you cleared it up for us that it was only the fact he had taken a sedative hypnotic called ambien that caused all this.

BTW, where did you first learn this was caused by the sedative-hypnotic class drug called Ambien?, I didn't see it in any reports anywhere. Or did you just pull that out of your ass? Is there anything else up there?

He didn't do ANYTHING wrong.

Except REFUSE to put on his seatbelt ( note he wasn't unconcious, he out and out refused). THEN he slipped back out of consciousness. Why should he have to put on his seatbelt. Didn't they know he had a special exception cuz Odell? He's fucking special, dontha' know.

Then, he REFUSED to depart the plane( note at that point he wasn't unconcious, he just refused), UNTIL EVERYONE ELSE was forced off, and only THEN did he leave.

But he did nothing wrong.

Exzcuse me for thinking this man is the same nasccisisstic asshole he always was, that NEVER see's his own faults, and is a perpetual victim.

Fuck him. Making excuses for him is what turned him into an asshole in the first place. Let him get stoned in Dallas.

What part is Overblown, specificcally? what part is it exactly that you are indignant about. That they wouldn't have the plasne take off without a special ezxception of flight rules for OBJ? or thast people are indignant they had their flight cancelled? Or is it the reactions of those here, who see the same self ccentered narcicist that got run out of town. I realize you clearly think Odell's behavior was appropriate, you'vestated that, so which group is accting inappropriately in an "overblown" manner? The polise and airline following procedure? The indignant disboarded? or the forum regulars who see more of the same? Tell us, oh wise one.

Beat me to it.

I wonder if they really thought he might be "sick," or thought he was too drunk/stoned to comply with safety instructions in an emergency. Both are legitimate concerns.



Yea, but he doesn’t appear he was acting like an asshole either
Because refusing to put on a seatbelt, or disembark isn't being an asshole. He REFUSED to do either.

They weren't making requests of an unconscious man. When he WAS conscious, he REFUSED. But hey, it's cool cuz Odell. it's wrong for everyone else in the fucking country, but not Odell.

Drama follows the guy whereever he goes.



I wouldn't call this situation "drama"

Dude took an ambien and is out of it. Attendant tries to wake him up so that he can fasten his belt, but he's out of it. Pilot lands the plane cause they are concerned for his health.

From what I read, that's all that happened

But regardless, I still want him to sign here.



That isn't all that happened. When police and fire responded to a possible medical emergency, they asked him to get off the plane, and he refused. Until eventually, they had to get everyone else off the plane first.

So like I said, drama follows the guy wherever he goes. Just get on a airplane without it becoming news. It's not hard.



Just say you don't like OBJ dude
Just say you make excuses for his toxic ass and never hold him accountable and never will. You are what is called an enabler. Not in a good way. The kind of guy people are instructed to avoid while in recovery.

but it sounds like he was asked to put on a seatbelt but because he was so out of it he didn't respond to the instruction. At that point the flight crew had to take precautions regarding his mental/ physical state and get him off the plane.

Beckham probably not understanding the situation and how it looked for other people likely argued to stay on the plane once medical staff and police showed up. I'm sure he said that he was fine, and just tired - but at the end of the day he's responsible for following the airline rules and shouldn't expect special treatment.

But again, there's no indication as of yet that he was being belligerent towards flight crew or that he even verbally refused to put on his seat belt.
Yes there is. Liar. The police statement CLEARLY says he REFUSED to put on his seatbelt.

Earlier today, Odell Beckham Jr boarded a morning flight in Miami without any problems,” the statement reads. “The flight was delayed after boarding and prior to take off. Mr. Beckham fell asleep with his blanket over his head, which is his normal practice for long flights. He was awaken[ed] and told that the plane was back at the gate and that he needed to get off the plane because he did not put his seatbelt on when asked. He responded that he was asleep, and that he would put his seatbelt on at that time. He was informed that it was too late, and that either he would have to get off the plane or everyone would have to deplane.

[i]“The overzealous flight attendant insisted on removing everyone from the plane instead of simply allowing Mr. Beckham to fasten his seatbelt and proceed with the flight. At no time was Mr. Beckham disruptive or combative. He was willing to comply with the seatbelt requirement, but the flight attendant wanted to prove that he had the authority to have Mr. Beckham removed from the flight. The airline proceeded to send Mr. Beckham’s luggage to Los Angeles without him.

“That incident was unnecessary. Sleeping on a plane should not be a cause for removal from a flight. If they could wake him up when the flight returned to the gate, then they could have done the same thing to ask him to put on his seatbelt.”

Makes no sense whatsoever. So if they woke him up and told him he had to get offf or everyone else did, obviously, the rest of the passengers were STILL on the plane at that time. Yet they were eventually deplaned, so clearly he refused first to put his seatbelt on, then, after they got back to the gate, then refused to get off. Why else would everyone else had to deplane? They told him get off and he complied? he didn't, because the aircraft wouldn't have been evacuated if he had.

That's best case IF you accept he had no interaction before that. Thgat he didn't refuse to put his seatbelt on, and was unconscious the whole time that he CLAIMS he was sleeping with a blanket he pulled over his head. He still forced the everyone else to deplane, knowingly. Sure sounds like the same old nasrcissist to me.

Remind me again why anyone thought he changed? Was there somewhere along the way where he accepted any responsibility for anything? I don't think there was. It's always someone else's fault.

Only AFTER they took everyone else off did Odell finally aquiesce to leave the aircraft.

Why the hell would you take an Ambien in the middle of the day?  
Returning Video Tapes : 11/28/2022 7:06 am : link
As someone that has a script to use on as needed basis that makes no sense. Plus Ambien stories come from over dosages or people unfamiliar with the drug. A 200lb dude isn’t gonna have an issue unless he’s gobbling up pills. When you take one the reality is it works for a window to fall asleep, but if you miss that window you’ll be a bit loopy, but awake and more like you had a few drinks nothing crazy (it’s very short and any type of stimulus would keep you up).

This sounds like a built in excuse and wouldn’t be surprised if he took a Xanax bar more likely. Lots of these Ambien stories were when they realized the were giving 10mgs as a standard and not everyone can handle that (it’s extremely weight dependent) or people thinking they weren’t working and take more than a 10mg dose (been there and it can absolutely make you do some wild shit).

To meet with Beckham let alone sign him. I had thought that once he won a super bowl perhaps he might gain some semblance of humility. I was wrong. He continues to be the narcissistic clown that he always was. And apparently always will be. How John Mara can permit this meeting to take place given OBJ's track record here is beyond me...

The last thing this team needs before its most important game in years is this type of distraction.

Anyone who felt they were being mistreated and unreasonable asked to leave the plane, would make a stink about it for at least 20mins.

That's a standalone statement and does not show support or opinion one way or another about Odell's particular situation.

There is a good reason for it. Anyone who has flown knows this. If he is so incoherent that he can't follow simple instructions, he should not be on the plane anyways.

This BS is exactly why he wore out his welcome the first time. He is a self absorbed P.O.S.. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will with this guy.
