Odell Beckham caught two touchdown passes this past week. Regardless of how his team performs, all the attention seems to be on Beckham. Odell was flagged for his touchdown celebration when he imitated a dog in an inappropriate manner. Giants owner John Mara apparently was not happy.

Kimberly Jones of NFL Network had the latest on the exchange between Beckham and Mara.

Odell Beckham Jr said he had "private discussion" in John Mara's office. OBJ on penalty: "You just can't do it. It doesn't need to be done."

The Giants are now 0-3 to start off the 2017 season. Only 3 teams in NFL history have made the playoffs after a 0-3 start. None have done so since 1998. Ben McAdoo figures to sit squarely on the hot seat scoring just 20 points once to start the year. McAdoo frankly said he’s trying to move past Odell’s recent antics.

“I’m done talking about it,” McAdoo uttered when asked if OBJ would start Sunday against the Buccaneers, saying again via NFL.com: “We have a plan for it, we’re handling it internally. And we have a plan moving forward.”

At this point, Beckham has yet to be punished by the team in any way.
