Pet peeve of mine is when announcers refer to players using Jr., or III, etc. when there's no need. In this case, I realize that Jr. is part of OBJ's legal name, but you don't need to tack on the Jr. unless you think we'll be confused with Odell Beckham Sr. or Odell Beckham III.

Perfect example of where it was needed was when Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. both played at the same time. Then we needed the Sr./Jr. distinction to avoid confusion.

But for this one, and almost all others, just drop the Jr. and call the guy Odell Beckham. Same for Johnny O'Bryant. No need to stick III at the end, we know who it is.

I'm prepared to get blasted.

well, since both O'Bryant III and Beckham Jr. have their names listed as such on their jerseys...
