It doesn’t look like Odell Beckham is taking Eli Manning’s advice when it comes to dealing with the refs. The temperamental New York Giants wide receiver continued to take shots at last Sunday’s officiating crew, which Beckham had already said should no longer work future Giants games.

“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 NJ.com. “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. 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.”

Beckham was upset with the officiating in the Giants' 24-14 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, claiming an official told him to “get out of my face” when the Pro Bowl wideout was flagged for offensive pass interference.

Beckham’s latest comments come two days after Manning said the Pro Bowl wideout should “kill them with kindness” when it comes to the officials. We’ll see if Beckham will have a lot to say to the refs when the Giants take on the Cowboys on Sunday in a critical NFC East matchup.
