95 Million for 5 yrs, the least Beckham can do is speak better. Like this, or like that, not to mention the f-bombs, GEEEZ! Amazing this guy's smart enough to breathe on his own.

Odell Beckham Jr., fresh off signing a five-year, $95 million contract extension with the New York Giants, joined LeBron James' HBO show "The Shop" on Tuesday and explained that he has felt like a "zoo animal" at times during his young career. Beckham, who is known for his exuberant celebrations and cockiness on the field, was made the highest-paid wide receiver in football Monday. He told James about how he thinks he's perceived. “To me, I be feeling like, I tell people this all the time -- I really feel like a zoo animal. Like that’s where life’s gone for me,” he said. “You know, you used to take your kids to the zoo and we used to be like, you know, 'I want to see the lions' or 'Let’s go see the lions.' And you go out there, and the lions are laid out. You know what I mean? “And it’s like, why aren’t they doing lion stuff, you know what I mean? Like I’ve got people who call out, 'Odell! Dance!' Like, I’m a show punk, a show monkey or something. Like I’m a puppet, you know what I mean? And it’s like to me, that doesn’t feel good, but it’s like, damn, that’s what life became. But, can you ever really detach from that?” Beckham and James also talked about the expectations that come with being a black athlete. The Los Angeles Lakers star said there’s a double standard when it comes with being African-American, saying there would be a different response if he did one thing and a guy like Aaron Rodgers did it too. “And we’re doing the same s---, the same exact s---, I’m talking about the phone is on. We’re like, ‘Yo, get that f-----g phone out of my face.

So, he wants his money with no expectations of performance. Go play in the amateurs, where nobody will care how you do.
Holy Toledo, this kind of crap again.
Next we will see comparisons of professional athletes to slavery. Jesse Jackson once said something to the effect that picking cotton and picking basketballs was the same fundamental concept involved.
Cry all the way to the bank, ya jerk.
Did you read about Aaron Rogers and his new $100 million dollar contract?
Un-fecking-real...and I’ve been a Packer Fan since BIRTH. Not so much now with the kneeling shiite and all that, though. :(
But not a dog. He feels right at home being a dog.
They ARE zoo animals.
This self-described “monkey” shouldn’t be so niggardly with his $$$$$...pass it around, Bro.
So, let me get this right: He spent a lot of time training, working out, sacrificing, etc. to become one of these guys.
Now that he’s become one of these guys, he’s complaining that he’s become one of these guys.
Let me guess, he’s an Obama voter, too.
He be monkeying around with the truth, noamsayin?
Maybe he needs to be paid just like a “zoo animal”.....
LOL. LOL
Odell:
Just quit, baby.
[Just quit, baby.]
Yep. We all know he won’t be doing that.
He’ll be complaining while cashing the checks.
He should run for office as a Democrat.
OH MY GAWD!!!
OMG!
Give me $95 million and you can call me anything you like, I’d even take a break between counting the money, to laugh at it.
There is NO making them happy. If you fawn over them, it’s “Patronizing”; if you joke with them, it’s a “dog whistle”; if you mind your own business, you’re “acting uppity”.
What the hell does it take?
I could explain the reasons to him and that crybaby Lebrane James but I am not fluent enough in Ebonics and it is obvious that neither one of these miscreants can comprehend proper English.
Zoo animals don’t get $95M. Just sayin’.
Aaron Rodgers would get more double takes if he had all the tattoos and haircut.
Speaking of which, I saw a recent picture and Rodgers looks old for a 36 year old.
Just ignore him and the other NFL Miscreants. Find something else to do on Sundays, Monday and Thursday Night.
