These have been
a tough couple of days for sports’ fans in the City that Never Sleeps. On Sunday, the Giants got skunked by the
Packers 38-13, and people couldn’t help but wonder if it had something to do
with the one-day trip Odell Beckham Jr. and three other New York receivers took
to Miami on their day off of practice last week. “I’m a grown man,” Beckham told the New York
Daily News, responding to criticism of the trip. The “grown man” had three drops—one for a
touchdown—in the game, after which he reportedly put his fist through a wall in
Lambeau Field.
A day later, the
Knicks’ Derrick Rose decided not to show up for a game at the Garden, no reason
given either by Rose or the team. The Knicks
have lost eight of their last nine (how is that possible with Rose and Carmelo
Anthony both on the floor?), the only win coming when Rose was benched the
entire fourth quarter, his place taken by an undrafted free agent. And this happened just a day after the
Tribune quoted Rose that playing in New York “motivates you to work hard.”
Just not on a
Monday in January.
