89 would swing on anyone...with or without a helmet, teammate or opponent.  I do think you can draw some comparison's between the two.  89 struggled with controlling his anger and all reports or NY Giants have worried about the same issue.  Just b/c every outburst wouldn't be an apples to apples moment doesn't mean they aren't similar guys.

Point was 89 had legit anger issues and he never beat them.  He got better at it but to this day it is an issue for the man. Beckham has issues.

Point was merely we gotta be careful calling him the biggest POS ever...when our GOAT had a comparable problem.

That is the NFL fault too....you wouldn't of wanted to make 89 the face of the NFL in 2003.  He had too many issues.  NFL shouldn't of put this kid as the face of the NFL recently.  He ain't that kind of dude (not this young and w/ his issues)

 

What a complete load of BS.

Show me a video of him launching himself helmet to helmet into another player at the end of the play.

Show me a video where he stopped running routes and decided to head-hunt.

Heck, just find me a video of him punching an opposing player.

Smith was in no way shape or form the scum that Beckham displayed himself as on Sunday. I question how long you've been a Panther fan if you think they're the same.

There is a path for talent to find itself right to the NFL with little or no regards to the social upbringing/maturity or the personal accountability, social responsibility and fiscal understanding of the athlete involved.

This is why I prefer that my team have some integrity. But don't listen to me... we have too many choir boys on our roster. #amidoingitright?

well, Steve Smith is viewed as the GOAT around here.

Beckham IMO has a lot of Steve Smith in him.  89 learned to deal with his anger issues but even today 89 struggles w/ it.  He never learned to make it a nonissue.

There are parallels yes. But it's an unfair comparison. Smith never acted like a bitchtard, save for his release from the team. Against other players, he mostly let his play do the talking, but when he had to get into it with someone, he wasn't a diva about it. He was much more hard nosed. OBJ had just been acting like a spoiled brat

OBJ has legitimate anger management issues.  Unfortunately, at his age, it's unlikely he'll completely resolve them, so it is likely that he will have another meltdown at some point.  The problem for him now, though, is that with this being so public anything he does in the future will be highlighted and discussed by the talking heads and won't be swept under the rug. No matter what he does, his reputation and the perception of him has been forever changed.

What has transpired the past 24 hours has been an utter embarrassment to the entire Giants organization. From enabling Beckham during the game, to excuse after excuse after the game. Really is unprecedented and dispicable. 

Agreed.  For Tom Coughlin to play it off like it wasn't anything is nearly as inexcusable at Beckham's action..

As a fan of this organization before our team came into existence I am applaud that TC isn't on the white line answering to the actions of his players.

Beckham will never live down this thug type mentality.

I don't think it's a "thug" mentality. More just a little punk.

But yeah, it was uncomfortable watching the game, just knowing that OBJ was going to keep escalating the situation while his coach and refs did nothing.

um, he touched him.  That makes it sexual ASSAULT

Yes! ...and he wonders why others might choose to question his sexual orientation? 

I'm not condoning comments about sexual orientation as pre-game fodder, but as Zod said - it happens. Maybe those comments were in direct response to his ballet routine in the end zone during pre-game warmups?

If you choose to draw attention to yourself in this way, don't be offended by negative feedback.

This is like Watergate at this point. The (attempted) cover-up is worse than the offense. Beckham lost his cool in the heat of the game and became the bad guy. The Giants FO sits back and plans how to make Norman and the whole Panthers organization the real bad guy. What a bunch of assholes. They're now on my permanent poo list.

Can someone tell me; is there proof players called him names and use gay slurs? ESPN is saying stuff like "what we know today and what we know now is Norman the bad guy?" Are they basing this off of hear say? Isn't that slander? Until there is proof no blame is on josh. Also, let's say he did call him a homosexual, does that warrant six punches, a stomp, and a spear?

Giants' Franchise and its Leaders are a shame to the sport. NY PR should've made this an incident where OBJ was sympathetic and willing to move on, yet they smear their collective poo on the mess to try and cover it up by playing the blame-game.

Hey NY, the only reason people even like your poo team is because you were able to stop Brady's Ring Count.

 

So fuging glad we sent these clowns back to their obscurity,

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
