Odell Beckham Jr. takes shot at refs: 'Even Stevie Wonder can see' missed calls
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. started by saying he wasn’t going to reprise his postgame complaints following the loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. Then Beckham went all in again.
“It doesn’t surprise me,” Beckham said Wednesday, via USA Today. “Everybody knows what’s going on on the field. Everybody could see it. Stevie Wonder could see it. It is what it is. You can’t do anything about it. There’s no point.”
Wonder, you see, is blind. (Unless he’s not.) But it’s clear the point Beckham was trying to get across. For a second time.

Earlier this week, Giants head coach Ben McAdoo backed up those sentiments by essentially saying he agreed with what Beckham was saying. Beckham said what he said on Wednesday, but then admitted that he’s damned if he does complain about missed called, and damned if he doesn’t.
“I shouldn’t even have brought it up because it’s always a lose-lose situation bringing something up,” Beckham continued. “Either you’re speaking out on it and you’re trying to defend yourself or the other way around, you’re complaining.”
After the game Sunday, Beckham noted how the head referee for Giants-Steelers, Terry McAulay, was the same one from the Giants’ melee-fest with the Carolina Panthers in Week 15 last season. In that game, Beckham and then-Panthers (now-Washington Redskins) cornerback Josh Norman went at each other almost all afternoon and drew a total of five personal fouls between them.
“It’s not like I’m sitting here saying the refs are the reason we lost the game,” Beckham said Sunday. He added: “[I don’t] really think that we should have this crew anymore … with the past history and everything that’s going on.”
McAdoo said the Giants sent game film to the NFL (as all teams do each week) of plays they believe referees missed from the Steelers game. The coach believes that Beckham “may have been interfered with” a few times in the Week 13 game.
But the NFL might interfere with Beckham’s wallet after going in not once but twice against the referees, which is verboten.
