What is Odell Beckham, Jr. up to?
The New York Giants wide receiver created a stir over the weekend in an interview with ESPN with rapper Lil Wayne was by his side. OBJ questioned first-year Giants’ coach Pat Shurmur’s offense, he criticized quarterback Eli Manning and he refused to say he was happy in New York while expressing an affinity for Los Angeles, his offseason home.
Shurmur was irritated by the mention of Beckham’s comments when addressing the media after Sunday’s, 33-31, last second loss to the Carolina Panthers. Beckham stood by his remarks after the game. He suggested that he had galvanized the Giants, whose record dropped to 1-4. The Giants had their best offensive outing of the season scoring more than 30 points in a game for the first time since December 2015.
The schedule prevents the Beckham drama from becoming a bigger controversy this week than it already is. The Giants are facing the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who are off to a surprisingly slow start at 2-3, tonight.
