“We were just talking. Football, refs making calls. Basically y were warning me that one more personal foul — or whatever it is — and I’d be out game. I thought (it) was pretty stupid that I got a personal foul for a celebration that I’ve done all year. It’s t like re was a player in front of me or anybody. It was very unintentional. whole field is facing this way and I’m facing ( or) way. I’m t talking to body. Personally I thought it was stupid, but it is what it is.” – Odell Beckham Jr.
