UPDATE: The Eagles Left Odell Beckham Banging His Head Against the Wall
What a great way to end the year.
The Eagles left actual headcase Odell Beckham banging his head against the wall. From the NY Post:
Not long after the Giants’ last gasp ended when Eli Manning’s 63rd and final pass floated toward tight end Will Tye, who stood like a statue with five seconds left as Terrence Brooks came away with the third interception of the night off Manning, Beckham showed exactly how he felt. He stood in the tunnel adjacent to the visitors’ locker room and fumed, emitting guttural sounds of anguish in a display of utter frustration.
Then he stood facing a steel wall and banged his head into it, once, twice, three times, before team officials, including co-owner John Mara, consoled him, with Mara patting him on the back as Beckham slowly made his way into the locker room.
I love the use of steel wall. That’s such a WWE way to describe. I’m not even sure it’s accurate– where the hell are there steel walls?
Anyway, I’m not sure why Odell is so upset– he played well and the Giants still have a good chance of making the playoffs. If anything, he should’ve been banging his head against Eli Manning, who seems to have regressed to only the worst version of himself – the turnover, anguished face one – that seems to be actually scared by the Eagles’ black jerseys.
UPDATE: Here’s the aftermath. There is a steel wall!
