He absolutely should. Just a cheap SOB.
Kind of

What you just saw is Josh Norman winning a masterful war of trash talk and breaking ODB. Norman was using cheap borderline grabs and hits on Beckham, some before and some after the whistle. Borderline illegal but lucky for Norman none were called. Then ODB lost it. That helmet hit was cheap all around. But Fox went after ODB, showing that replay nine times. Norman kneed Beckham in the head on the ground on that play and we never saw a replay.

Finnegan also is clearly a trash talk master. After the Norman hands to the face PF, Finnegan drew ODB in the slot and ran a beautiful cheap-grab-what-who-me? on Beckham. Beckham to his credit didn't react and the refs to their credit did not call it.

Panthers nearly as much at fault as Beckham just WAY better at mind games.

Not absolving Norman, but there is no equivalence here.

I guess that's one where you want to call it a fumble just in case so that you can let it play out, then review it and bring it back. But it's still shitty officiating.

Really glad that the shine is off beckham. I've been saying for a while that the guy is a shithead. It was only a matter of time before he did something like that. Sucks that a guy like that has so much talent

Will be interesting to see if the NFL has the guts to suspend Beckham.








Who am I kidding?
Why don't refs eject someone for egregious personal fouls? The 15 yards, if even called, is well worth getting a shot in for someone like ODB.

Wow what an insanely obvious OPI on Beckham. Full extension, gained three yards of separation with the push off. No way Gronk would not have been called for that.

But Carolina is going to win this anyway.
