Odell Beckham Jr.,: Seatbelts Ruin Lives

The old, tired, false Cleveland tropes just bother me. "Smoggy Cleveland sky"? In what world do we even have the industry to create smog?

Other than that little stick in the mud, decent video--felt too long.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Smog? We don't even have the climate for it... Did we turn into LA and I didn't notice?

That 3.5 minute video was 3.5 minutes too long.

The last week or so has proven that Cleveland is utterly terrible at producing funny viral videos.

I shut it off after like 20 seconds. Cringy as fuck.

I thought The Office spoof was solid.

Smog and that acrid smell have been gone since at least 1989.

I love Dave Gettleman.

Probably nothing to be concerned about since it's now been deleted but it looks like all the press this move garnered is getting to OBJ a bit.

Serves as a reminder that these guys are human and have feelings/emotions like the rest of us. Being relocated (against your will) to a new city/team with new people is stressful regardless of who you are or where you're going.

Good for him for peeling back the curtain and acknowledging the reality of the situation that fans don't usually get to see.

Good lesson for him that if he didn't want the attention he should have stayed off of social media in the first place. Hopefully he realized that after deleting a post asking for privacy that that ended up bringing more attention to him.

He wanted to come here, so not against his will, but its got to be tough to be in his situation.

I don't think OBJ is a head case or a bad teammate, but I do feel he is extremely emotional in a very Millennial way that is new to sports. That being said, I don't think this is a bad thing at all, but it makes sense from what I see on the sidelines, with the press, etc. Lebron who is a media master is starting to show huge signs of cracking.

My point between media and social media its almost impossible for these guys to ever get away and be normal citizens even just for a couple of days. I honestly feel bad for Odell. I hope things settle down for him and he enjoys the Cleveland market. Unfortunately because of huge strides we have made as a team, Odell and the rest of the team will be on a much more national stage which comes with allot of the assholes in the press which they try to avoid when they can.

Good luck Odell, and hide till the next pre season camp if you must. None of us need to hear from you, us fans are good, and most of us agree, fuck the press.

I dread driving up 77 coming from NC between October and April. It's always so meh as soon as I hit Ohio. On top of that I still have to drive 3.5 hours to get to my parents place. Just a total bummer and vibe killer. My least favorite part of OH.
