Beckham calls out Cowherd for mocking his Giants career
Cleveland Browns wideout Odell Beckham Jr. responded strongly to FOX Sports personality Colin Cowherd, who mocked the receiver's time with the New York Giants on Thursday.

Beckham followed his initial tweet with a screenshot showing Cowherd exuding a noticeably different tone when the two communicated directly.
This is the shxt I be talkin bout wit the bold tv people who see u in person and have completely different convos 😂😂. Alllll of those moments got better ratings and attention than any of ur shows ever. And that’s not somethin im braggin about cause im not “proud” of those. https://t.co/410xdI8ua6 pic.twitter.com/2atNjBZOTI

The texts took place following the trade that sent Beckham from New York to Cleveland.
Beckham ascended to superstar status with the Giants, but his off-field antics rubbed some the wrong way, and motivated New York to move him.
But I honestly I really hate to even give u this spotlight. Just put some respect on my name as ur talkin bout me and my family to booost ur TV shows and ratings. If I was GREAT then u and others wouldn’t talk about me this much. I DONT hear much talk bout anybody else at All. https://t.co/410xdI8ua6

The Browns are expecting big things from Beckham, who posted 1,052 receiving yards in just 12 games last year. Cleveland hasn't reached the postseason since 2002.
