Odell Beckham Jr. Pulls Off a Video Bomb For the Ages
By Kareem Gantt
New York Giants star Odell Beckham Jr. pulled off a classic video bomb on NFL on FOX before today’s game against the Saints.
Odell Beckham Jr. has just pulled off a video bomb on Sunday that is going to be really tough for the rest of the NFL to match this season.
Prior to the New York Giants–New Orleans Saints game, Beckham Jr., known for making catches that no mere mortal can achieve, caught the perfect time to go in and video bomb a Fox Sports sideline reporter. The whole scene was caught live during Fox’s pre-game NFL broadcast:
It seems that Beckham Jr. not only the master at catching impossible one-handers, he is also a master at catching sideline reporters off guard.
It was the first great video bomb of the season, and it may even top this epic piece of comedy that Washington Redskin defensive tackle Chris Baker pulled off last season:
The art of the video bomb is one of great artistry. You have to plan what you’re going to do, and then execute the bombing to great precision, so as you don’t wind up being the embarrassed one on the tube.
It’s one of the little things that makes sports great, and Odell Beckham Jr. just elevated this simple, but daring art to new heights. It’s going to be hard to top this bomb this season, but rest assured that there will be players out there who will try their best.
Let the video bombing season begin.
