Manning unconcerned about Giants' yacht party, clubbing with Bieber

The New York Giants wide receivers partied with pop sensation Justin Bieber following a Week 17 victory over the Washington Redskins and quarterback Eli Manning doesn't seem to mind at all.

Victor Cruz posted a photo to Instagram that showed numerous members of the group shirtless, which has since been deleted. However, numerous social media accounts kept the photo for posterity. Afterwards, Cruz, Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling Shepard, and Roger Lewis, among others, hit the club where Bieber was in attendance.

Some blasted the Giants' wide receivers for taking the day off to party in Miami, but Manning sarcastically dismissed that notion.

"As a team we kind of always pride ourselves on being well prepared, so when I saw some of those pictures, I was a little disappointed because obviously they didn't pack accordingly. They didn't have any shirts, all long pants, no shorts, no flip-flops or anything," Manning joked to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "So I was disappointed in their packing and not being prepared for that situation."

Beckham also balked at the suggestion that the Giants weren't taking their upcoming postseason game against the Green Bay Packers seriously.

"We were going to (Florida) to get our minds right," Beckham said to ESPN's Josina Anderson. "That's what we were doing. I handle my business. I'm a grown man. I do what I am supposed to be doing. I'm in the building when I'm supposed to be in the building. I don't miss team meetings, none of that.

"I'm not perfect, but everybody knows my passion for football when I'm on the football field. I'm here for the N.Y. Giants, especially over the next four weeks. Now, we are about to make a run, about to make a push; it's go time. Everybody is focusing on what they need to be focusing on."
