Eli Manning probably won't be too happy about this.

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct once again this week, this time for removing his helmet on his game-winning touchdown catch against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. It's the fourth fine so far for Beckham this season, and they have totaled $96,772:

- $24,309 for this most recent infraction

- $12,154 in Week 1 for a group celebration after a score

- $36,000 in Week 2 for a hit on Saints S Kenny Vaccaro in Week 2 (a hit Beckham reportedly apologized for and that Vaccaro didn't seem to mind)

- $24,309 for taunting Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes in Week 4

Beckham has now been fined seven times for either taunting or unsportsmanlike conduct since 2014.

Earlier this week, Manning seemed to indicate that Beckham's behavior could grate on his teammates, telling WFAN radio that it's easier to ignore the outbursts when the Giants are winning games:

Manning later clarified that he wasn't speaking for himself, but instead positing that those in the media might get fed up with Beckham:

“I’m not trying to make comments about him. I get asked about him a lot, so I have to comment about it,” he said. “I’m not trying. Odell and I have a great relationship. We talk about a lot of things. On the same page, he knows I’m always looking out for him, and he understands you can say things and it kind of can be taken one way.”

Beckham is listed as questionable for the Giants' Week 7 game against the Rams in London and is expected to play. He aggravated a hip injury during Week 6 and has been limited in practice this week.

The Giants are 3-3 this season, with Beckham hauling in 35 catches for 581 yards (16.6 yards/reception) and 3 TDs — meaning that so far in 2016, he has more fines than touchdowns. That trend can't last much longer, though, right?
