NY Giants Broadcast Live on 991 The Whale

The New York Giants head to Minnesota for a must win against the Vikings on Sunday Night, coverage begins at 7:30pm on 99.1 The Whale.

Big Blue will be without Odell Beckham Jr who was suspended for one game after the Carolina Panthers game in which Beckham drew three personal fouls, including a really cheap shot at Panthers CB Josh Moore.

Beckham's appeal was denied earlier this week, and in his statement (see below) he said all the right things, with sincere apologies to pretty much everyone.

The Giants still have a chance at making the playoffs, but they have to win their last two games and the Washington Redskins have to lose their last two.

I believe the Giants are a much better team than their 6 and 8 record indicates, the question is do they believe it enough to beat the Vikings on Sunday night, and will it even matter by then if The Redskins beat the Eagles Saturday night.

I have said it before Giants fans, there will be some changes coming this off season, if the Giants fail to make the playoffs, this will be the fourth straight year.

Giants and Vikings, catch all the action Sunday night beginning at 7:30pm, on your station for NY Giants Football, 99.1 The Whale.

Go Giants!

Odell Beckham Jr's Statement after the NFL suspended him for one game.
I owe some people an apology. I wasn’t raised to act like I did the other day. I am not here to make excuses for my conduct. This isn’t about anything that was said or done to me. This is about my behavior, and I am responsible for my behavior. People expect better from me, and I expect better from myself.

First of all, I apologize to the organization I represent, the Giants, and our ownership, John Mara and his family and Steve Tisch and his family. And Jerry Reese, who drafted me and gave me the opportunity to be a part of this organization.

I want to apologize to Giants fans. They want to be proud of us, and proud of players like me who represent their team. What happened the other day was embarrassing to them and embarrassing to me.

A lot of kids look up to me as a role model. That is a responsibility I accept and take seriously. Many of the parents of those kids have asked since Sunday what they should say to their children about my conduct. I don’t have the perfect answer, but I think one thing they can say is how I handled myself the other day is an example of how not to conduct yourself. I displayed poor sportsmanship.  And those parents can also say that when you act like that, there are consequences. And I hope to be an example of somebody who did something wrong and learned from it.

I owe Coach Coughlin, our coaches and my teammates an apology. They have had to answer for my actions, and that’s not fair to them. How I conduct myself is my responsibility. I let my coaches and teammates down.

I am blessed and privileged to play the game I love, and I will do all I can to carry myself in a way that honors the game, the NFL, my team, my coaches, all my fans and my family moving forward.
