Odell Beckham Jr. has made an art of complaining about officiating this season, so the old adage, "What are you, blind?" just doesn't cut it any more.

Even after Eli Manning advised Beckham to "kill them with kindness" on Monday, the New York Giants receiver was still talking Wednesday about missed calls from Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. When asked about support from head coach Ben McAdoo, who requested the league review Sunday's calls, Beckham kept going.

"It doesn't surprise me. Like I said, everybody knows what's going on, on the field. Everybody can see it. Even Stevie Wonder can see it," Beckham said, via James Kratch of NJ.com, referencing the famous blind musician.

While he's still complaining, Beckham acknowledged there isn't much to gain from bickering about officials.

"It just, it is what it is. You can't do anything about it. There's no point. I don't know why, I shouldn't have even brought it up," Beckham said. "It's always a lose-lose situation, bringing something up. Either you're speaking out on it, and now you're trying to defend yourself, or the other way around, and you're complaining. Either way it goes, I should have never brought it up. It's really irrelevant."

After the recent loss, Beckham was particularly bothered, alleging one of the officials told him to "get out of my face" when questioning a call.
