Did something just happen? I generally agree with your post, but he is a monster talent. Hopefully he led the police on a crazy chase with a loaded machine gun in the car and 3 children under 6 with a bag of cocaine and a male prostitute. That will take some heat off of the Jets.
There’s a video depicting him in bed with a woman and a pizza. He’s holding what appears to be a blunt. If someone can prove that was filled with marijuana, I’d be surprised.
Are there any clips of this longer than 5 seconds? This will definitely take some heat off the Jets. Phew!
I'm surprised this is not all over social media yet. So far NYDN is only big outlet that has reported it.
If you're the Giants, what do you do with Beckham? He's going into the last year of his rookie contract. He's already said he wants to be the highest-paid player in the league, and has insinuated that he may skip OTAs and training camp to put pressure on the Giants to give him what he wants. He's had his share of embarrassing incidents: the Josh Norman debacle, the peeing in the end-zone affair, and the photos of the good times in Miami before the playoffs. He is an ungodly talent, but he choked in the one playoff game he appeared in, and he's coming off a serious injury. Is he destined to be the greatest receiver of his generation, or is he a prima donna who will make the highlight reels without ever winning anything? Actually, from the video, if that pizza is from Papa John's, he may be in really big trouble because Papa John's flipped off the league and Pizza Hut is now the NFL's official pizza. Don't worry. Ted Wells will figure out where Beckham got that pizza.
curious how hard the league will come down on him since he's not a Jet and a member of the beloved league darling Giants. I mean this is pretty awful. Has to be at least 4 games if not 6
A change of scenery is sometimes helpful in these situations... I'd be willing to do an even swap of Anderson for ODB
Without a positive drug test, the league won't be able to do a thing. There's no proof of what he's holding or what his lady friend is holding. It is significant only in the sense of how it affects the Giants' willingness to commit to him long term or, if not, his trade value.
I expect a player to lead the league in at least one category, in at least one season, before even thinking about him being destined to be the greatest receiver of his generation. I'm going with the second part of your sentence being closer to the truth.
