It was the most dynamic and electric move Odell Beckham Jr. had made in weeks. And all it did was get him past the media and clear of the questions about his recent thin-skinned comments about his teammates.

So much for setting everyone at ease about that balky left hamstring.

On Thursday, the Giants’ most dangerous receiver spent the final day of mandatory minicamp on the sidelines again, continuing to nurse an injury that has plagued him all spring. And when the workout was all over, the club had scheduled Beckham to speak with the media for the first time since late April.

Except the increasingly mercurial receiver was already gone, his latest conspicuous absence from the locker room. This time, it helped him skillfully avoid a coming barrage of questions regarding a strange ESPN interview in which he called out teammates for — wait for it — having good-natured fun over his eternally bum hammies.

As usual, Tom Coughlin was left to run damage control, and express the slightest bit of frustration over his star being sidelined.

“He’s feeling better,” insisted Coughlin, “but he needs to feel a whole lot better.”

But...

“I want him on the field just like he wants to be on the field,” Coughlin said. “The next level he can attain is going to be accomplished by practicing.”

To Giant fans, he's already the great receiver of all time. Better than Randy Moss and Jerry Rice combined. He is an unstoppable force that even Revis with the intelligence of Rod Woodson and speed of Deion Sanders couldn't even dream to stop.

Dewd scares me more than any giant since LT. He's a legit talent. Hopefully, he's an even bigger jackass too!

Well maybe after his 3rd full year. They have to pay Eli after this season.

Except they probably won't... when you allow your aging franchise QB to enter the final year of his contract without an extension on the horizon, it's safe to say there is at least some controversy inside of the Giants organization about whether or not to stick with him.

I can confirm this. The Giants fans mindset, I mean.

Coughlin doesn't sound too happy about his injury situation.
