BadLandsMeanie Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 HIU everybody, Odell Beckham posts a video of himself smoking what looks like a blunt. Why didn't the Giants just call him in for a drug screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you've already had a couple positive tests. Otherwise you receive advance notice of the date you will be tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would because then he can't very well hold out. Then again with Beckham you never know. But I never heard a player holding out coming off a suspension. He will miss the same number or less than games than he if he holds out. Plus I don't like being messed with I would stick it to him.

BillsFan130 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Giants should try to trade him in my opinion. If they can land a 1st and 3rd or something, I would do it in a heartbeat if I were them. While he is a great player, he is a complete head case and no way I would trust giving him tons of money once his contract his up after 2018 Edited March 27, 2018 by billsfan11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Have people forgotten how genuinely good he is? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BeckOd00.htm Teams put up with a lot when a player is this damn good. He is also only 25. I expect him to have a huge year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan5121 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 We can all debate if the Giants have any sort of ethical obligation to do something about the video. However, it would seem crazy to “punish yourself” by giving a drug test and suspending him if he fails. It may not be right from a moral standpoint, but it makes sense why they wouldn’t from a competitive point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, a lot of players have said you have to be really dumb (or incredibly unlucky, like win-the-lotto odds) to get caught. If you arent already in the program, you have a set amount of time to do whatever you want, and some pretty reasonable and predictable milestones where you have to stop.

He is an immense irritation as a football player at times. Not just off the field "antics" but remember the personal fouls? But that doesn't mean his will get himself incarcerated. Being a dink isn't illegal. Anyway it was a jest but he will be delayed getting into canton if he ever does, because of his doofus attitude.
