So here’s hoping The Beatles make a big enough splash to kick Justin Bieber off the top of Spotify’s global chart. Two million songs by the group were sold during the first week they were released via the digital service.

Beckham is not allowed to attend practices or have any contact with the Giants, apart from arrangements for off-site medical procedures or physical therapy, until his reinstatement on Monday. He’ll be reinstated Monday.

Norman reportedly has been fined a combined $26,044 for his confrontations with Beckham.

Other than that, Coughlin deflected questions about Beckham.

On Wednesday, Wing said Ball told Beckham, “I’ll be the reason you don’t play today… and other days”, while holding the bat, according to The New York Daily News. “Regardless of the outcome of my appeal, I apologize for my actions on Sunday”. I am not here to make excuses for my conduct. His absence could be a huge factor for a team barely in playoff contention.

Beckham was reportedly harassed with anti-gay slurs and a baseball bat before a game against the Carolina Panthers during pregame activities.

Walking through the halls of the Giants practice facility Wednesday, all the signs were in place about this being a place of “Big Blue Warrior Pride” and everyone being “Team First”. And yesterday, Beckham said that he’s subject to that kind of thing from opposing players on a weekly basis.

As most players do, Beckham filed an appeal to the NFL’s decision.

“It’s certainly an accumulation of instances and not just on Beckham”.

In Beckham’s case, Thrash’s ruling changed nothing.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin noted that his receiver was not the only player at fault for the rough and sometimes dirty play in the game. The two teams have met three times in the postseason, with the Giants 2-1 in those games.

Wing had no problem remembering the response Beckham got from the bat-carrying player.

“You always want to put forward your best foot”.

“Odell went to shake his hand, the guy looked at his hand, didn’t shake it and there were a couple words between the two”, Wing said.

“I have never seen a more malicious play in my 42 years around the NFL”, NFL analyst Ron Jaworski said. A marquee player-on-player matchup in Week 15 turned into a schoolyard fight stemming around baseball bats and Christmas themed football cleats.

Irvin says he doesn’t get why people attack Beckham’s sexuality, and has told him not to let the comments get to him. Nicks may slide into Beckham’s spot on the outside, but can in no way pick up the production the Giants will lose as a result of his risky and immature behavior on Sunday. Finally, Odell apologized to his coach and teammates for letting them down. Beckham was reacting to his own flubbed reception and couldn’t handle the smack talk he was getting from Norman afterward. “It’s part of the game”, Wallace said.

Wing said he relayed what happened to some people, whom he did not identify.
