Josh Norman Has Successfully Set Up A Brand New Home In Odell Beckham's Head
PFT - When cornerback Josh Norman signed with the Redskins earlier this offseason, plenty of people noted that he would be scheduled to face the Giants and wide receiver Odell Beckham twice during the regular season.
Beckham and Norman had a memorable battle during last year’s Giants-Panthers game that featured taunting, pushing, shoving and a running blow to Norman’s head from Beckham that led to a one-game suspension for the Giants wideout. The ugliness between the players also led to several flags during the game and influenced the league’s push to eject players with two unsportsmanlike penalties in the same game.
In an interview for the August 2016 edition of GQ, Beckham shared his opinion that Norman signing with the Redskins is “for sure” about his presence in the division.
“It goes back to what I was saying,” Beckham said. “If I wasn’t playing him twice a year, maybe people wouldn’t bring it up as much. But now it’ll be a lot more media attention for him, attention that I don’t really look for, attention that I don’t need. The reason he’s become so relevant is because of me.”

I’m a fair and balanced guy. When my teams stink, I say they stink. When DJaxx is acting like a drama queen, I say he’s acting like a drama queen. So I do not put it lightly when I say Odell Beckham Jr is the most desperate for attention football player going right now. He’s approaching TO levels of “look at me, look at me” while simultaneously being the biggest mental midget possible. Look, ODB is talented. Really, really talented. But what happened last year when Josh Norman took him off his game? He turned into a baby and started head hunting. When the Giants needed wins to sneak into the Wild Card, ODB couldn’t keep his composure and got his ass suspended. And he still, stilllll can’t get over it. Josh Norman hasn’t said a word about Beckham, but Beckham won’t stop talking about Norman. It’s really sad. Norman owned him, ODB freaked out, head hunted him, and now allows Norman to live in his head rent-free.
And the sadder part is Beckham saying “Attention that I don’t really look for.” Uhhhhhh, what???? That’s JJ Watt levels of delusion. Beckham has spent his offseason joining Pinterest, making videos of himself tap dancing with Drake, and dating a Kardashian. And now he’s trying to chirp Josh Norman to keep himself in the news. But nah, he doesn’t want the attention.
PS: I can’t wait for football season to start. We’re so close to training camp I can smell the RG3 blogs writing themselves already.
