Nobody is giving Norman a pass, but ODB crossed the llne. Not to mention it is becoming habit forming.

ODB fucked up ,he will pay the penalty but you're giving Norman a pass.You more than anyone else would be crying their eyes out had any DB done any of that shit to DeSean and please don't try to sell me that he wouldn't go off becuase we both know that is BS!
I'm not making excuses he needed to be kick out right there and then so maybe you should vent your frustration on the whole and not just one part of what happen in another teams game,like the refs and like Norman.Let's not kid ourselves here you don't give a hoot about crossing the line unless it benefits you ."Habit forming"............BS.

Woooooah Tiger....u need to go back to the dallas gameday thread. If you did you would know that I wanted DJax cut immediately after the Dallas game and wouldn't shut the hell up about it. I am faaaar from DJax biggest fan, and if he took a running start and launched himself at a defenseless players head I would call him a dirty little bitch just like ODB.
I already said IM NOT GIVING NORMAN A PASS. nor the refs - we all know how terrible they are. BUT ODB crossed the effin line and deserves to be called out above all others. If you dont see that than u r just blinded by ur big blue love affair - and u never struck me as a giant homer type before.
Edit - its BS the habit forming part? Really? ODB hasnt even been in the league two years and ESPN can already do a five minute segment on the issues he has had. Again though , turn a blind eye to the fact that your best player has a fucking behavioral disorder. Is he the only one? No. But he is certainly the hot topic this week so lets not act like my comments are out of no where. Lol. Is he a god damned great wr? Absolutely. Will this shit hurt or help his career? You know the answer to that.

Both players took it too far....Beckum hit Norman with a low blow to his head using his helmet... so what.... Norman started it....Beckum finished it....both players were fined.... and everything is right with the world.

Actually ODB was suspended for his bitch ass move.

AS well as he should have ,the NFL had to and they did do the right thing but again the refs aren't getting enough of the blame and nether is Norman for the knee to ODB head .Really the black baseball bat is a punk move and I'll bet some good beer it won't be done this week.

No doubt. Refs are 100% to blame for not stopping it earlier. But we already know they are a freaking joke on a weekly basis.

So much back and forth happened that it's hard to keep up with, but I don't remember that, though it very well may have happened. Do you know when it happened? I definitely saw the play where Norman dropped/pushed OBJ to the ground and I thought he should get a flag for that, but I don't remember the knee.

As for the refs, They warned both coaches. I liked that they were trying to avoid throwing flags early on and I love a 'let 'em play' approach by the refs. As it progressed, though, I agree that it got out of hand and OBJ should have been ejected, but just for the one hit. I think everything else was childish (on both players' parts) and flag-worthy but not ejection-worthy.

I don't know, but I assume the refs didn't see that hit. If they had, I think they'd have known right away that ignoring it would mean discipline for them. So, I think it was a big miss by them, but that's all it was.

Sorry, but the bat thing is stupid. At best it's like a rapist saying "The way she was dressed, she was just asking to be raped."

Mostly though I'm just PO'd at the media. This started out a boring game but turned into one of the best games of the year, with all kinds of playoff implications and great plays, yet the ONLY focus is on this story and figuring blame and conspiracy stories to keep it going as long as possible.

As a Panther fan, sure, I could whine about OBJ. G1 could cry about bats. I think both of us would agree that there are a heckuva lot of other things we'd prefer to spend our time seeing every time we turn on ESPN.

Maybe Giantone can answer this: if the Giants lose to the Vikings (seems more likely now with ODB out), are they out of contention for the playoffs? In other words, does it come down to the winner of Saturday's game? I think that's right.

If true, and if we lose Saturday and the Giants beat the Eagles the following week after losing a close one to the Vikings, ODB's antics could have cost a playoff spot.

OHHHHHHHHHH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!The Giants have blown what 5 games in the last 75 seconds of all those game.Eli blew the Dallas game opener so NO ODB did not coast the Giants jack crap! He doesn't play defense and all the Giants needed was a stop on that last drive and they win,same against New England and Dallas and the Falcons.You cut 75 seconds from those four game we win the east.Thing is we didn't and I blame our GM , NO LBers ,no TE no pass rush of any kind.I think Coughlin has done one of his better jobs with nothing.
