I've seen a lot of righteous indignation pointed toward OBJ and I'll admit that the helmet to helmet went too far. I also acknowledge that OBJ lost his cool and went too far in his retaliation.

That being said, Norman started it and was no innocent by-stander.

Norman took cheap shots, including a totally uncalled for body slam away from and after the play right in front of a ref that should have gotten Norman ejected.

By the end of the game several players should have been flagged, ejected and facing fine or suspension, and OBJ is cheif among them but It also should start with Norman, just like it did on Sunday.

Moreover, the officiating crew should be facing fine and suspension. They let it happen.

OBJ has been acting like an arsehole since entering the league. His great catch boosted his ego beyond control. He needs to tone it down before he has a bounty placed on his head. The Buffalo Bills didn't have nice things to say about him either.

Make not doubt about it. The NFL loves that this entire situation happen yesterday. Which makes the suspension of OBJ for one 1 game comical imo.

I'm a bit lukewarm about the helmet to helmet hit. It looks bad in slow motion. But if you look at the entire play I think OBJ was trying to decleat Norman and have his running back break one open.

If it was away from the play, why did OBJ run up and engage him, putting his hands under his face mask?

Its like you clowns never watch a football game before. That shite happens all the time.

You're embarrassing yourself even trying to take up for Beckham. Who not only had 3 personal fouls in the game, but the helmet launch that should end his season.

Which great catch? There have been about 20. But the fact that you can say "the catch" and every NFL fan under 50 knows which one you mean is telling. That said, OBJ is at a crossroads. If he acts like an a-hole, he will be TO 2.0. Or, he can become one of the GOAT. He desperately needs a Patrick Peterson in his life.

I'd say from the beginning of the game Norman & Finnegan were going after OBJ after the play. Also saying that he should be suspended for the entire season a joke.

Agreed. I would have been OK with some people defending OBJ until that hit. That was WAY over the line.

Beckham went after Norman on the first play, and people are crying he got body slammed. I get that he went to LSU, but holy frick.

Yea I thought it was kinda weird that everyone just expected Odell to accept that late body slam and not react. I mean he is a grown arse man.

This. A bud of mine works for the Giants and said he's by far the hardest person to deal with in the whole organization.

agreed.

OBJ was only reacting to dirty play by Norman. If the refs would have shut it down early, there would have been no reason for OBJ to continue to go after him.

OBJ was bein witch hunt!

Dude you are a clown, OBJ had arguably the greatest rookie season statistically since Randy Moss. Heck had he played in all 16 games he may have shattered Moss's records. Having another top notch season. Kid has skills and is balling out. WRs are suppose to be divas and fun to watch.
