OT: How is Odell Beckham not ejected?!?!

[j_y19]

I'd be hesitant but only if the behavior continued.

As long as the behavior stops right now, I wouldn't think there would be too much fall out. He's too talented and hasn't shown a long track record of this type of behavior...yet. If he continues, he'll be thought of as Terrell Owens Jr...

He's still young and Norman obviously got in his head. Happens to the best but the best typically learn to focus their energy in just playing better.

Time will tell, but I do know this. Every CB that covers him is going to be squaking in his ear to see if they can get him off his game. He can expect to be the recipient of a seasons worth do shit talking over his next few games.

So apparently the league is "considering" a one game suspension. Really.. one game?? And how likely do you think it is, they wont come to a decision until next Monday after they have figured out if the Giants are eliminated or not.

I agree with this. Refs have to act as well.

I think he got 1 game.
He's a bigger head case than dez. Its nice to not have this drama anymore

Once again, let me call Bullshit. Had this been Garcon or Jackson, it would have been a minimum of 4 games. And he will likely appeal the suspension tomorrow. Have it reduced to a fine and no suspension. And be on the field Sunday.

I heard Adam Schefter say yesterday that he's already been penalized twice for personal fouls. Once for punching an opponent and another for kicking an opponent.

I also found this. Bills accuse Odell Beckham of throwing punches refs didn’t see Odell sounds like a bit of a bitch if what Bills players are saying is true.

I also saw Skip Bayless opining on this and he made what I thought was an interesting observation. That with some of the star QBs taking a hit this year, Brady with Deflategate and Manning falling off, were the specific QBs he mentioned. That maybe one reason Beckham wasn't booted from yesterday's game. Is because the NFL has hitched its wagon to him far as being a flagship top tier star player for them. And that the refs, who did let the game get out of control, really didn't know what to do. I took the last sentence to mean the refs viewed kicking Beckham and his star power out of a game would be akin to kicking Brady or Manning and their star power out of a game.

Well just an update, Beckham will appeal the suspension (per schefter). If the league sticks to the standard operating procedure, it will get reduced to a fine with no games off. Funny how a guy gets less punishment for intentionally trying to hurt another player during a game, than he would for smoking a joint during the off season.

There really is an easy cure. If the authorities do nothing...you do something. One game against me and he can no longer walk...that is if I can get close enough to cheap shot him.

haha, no apologies for you Josh Norman!

He toasted Norman for an easy TD early, but dropped it. I think it went spiraling down after that.

You weren't thinking bout your teammates last Sunday you lil' bitch. You were thinkin bout Josh Norman's lil' bitch ass. You should've moon-walked on his ass after you scored since he called you Michael Jackson. That would've been cool.
