Odell Beckham Jr. Slams Helmet, Punches Cooler, Throws Off Cleats in Blowout Loss to Steelers

It was only a matter of time before Odell Beckham Jr. started acting like a Diva receiver.  When his team doesn’t win, and when he’s not involved much in the game, he believes that, if he were more involved, the team would be more likely to win. Which may help explain his latest outburst.

OBJ showed frustration on the sideline on multiple occasions during the game, from throwing his helmet to removing his cleats before the game had ended.

The Browns downplayed the situation in post-game press conferences, quotes from which were distributed by the team.

“Just normal frustration when you come out and you get beat like that,” coach Kevin Stefanski said. “You just have to make sure one [loss] does not turn into two. That is this game, and then we have a big one next week.”

Jarvis Landry, a close friend of Beckham’s, explained that Beckham showing some fire doesn’t mean there’s a problem.

“We are all invested,” Landry said. “I think the thing for us is that we have to figure out a way as a team and as a group. . . . He brought us together as a leader of this team there right before halftime and after halftime and just kind of talking and positive messaging. He was trying to get us going because we could not get in any type of rhythm. If that is all you guys saw, then that is why I am sure I got the question.”

Beckham is always going to be a crybaby when things don’t go his way.  He’s not a leader, he’s simply just a talented receiver.
