Odell Beckham says he's absolutely FED UP with rumors he wants teams to "come get me" ... telling reporters he fully intends to suit up for the Cleveland Browns in 2020.
There have been many reports this disastrous Browns season about superstars like OBJ and Jarvis Landry begging opposing teams to save them from their misery.
Odell faced the media on Wednesday ... calling BS on all the reports and saying his opportunity in Cleveland is too special to give up on after one season.
"I'm not going anywhere," OBJ said. "I'll be here. We're gonna figure this thing out."
"I heard that Jarvis wanted to go to the Cardinals and all these people It's just easy to talk about. It's a cop-out, I feel like."
"It's just done. It's time to just put it to bed. I'm gonna be here. There's nothing more to talk about," Odell said ... "I didn't buy a house here to sell it."
Odell did joke about leaving the NFL for the CFL -- but CHILL HE'S KIDDING (right?).
As for the latest rumor about Odell secretly lobbying to play for the Steelers ... Odell said that would NEVER happen either.
So ... case closed??

Tom Brady QB Doesn't Make Pro Bowl ... Feel Cheated?!?

See, Tom Brady DOESN'T have everything after all ...
The NFL announced the greatest quarterback of all time was NOT selected to the Pro Bowl on Tuesday ... the first time the 42-year-old hasn't made the all-star roster since 2008!
For context ... the last time Tom missed the Pro Bowl cut, Flo Rida's "Low" was #1 on the Billboard charts and "The Dark Knight" was the biggest thing at the box office!!!
The AFC QBs going instead? Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes.
Of course, it ain't like Brady's play deserved recognition this season ... his numbers are down in nearly every category -- and he has just an 86.5 quarterback rating.
In fact, some believe the Pats might be one and done in the playoffs this year because of how bad their offense is ... with the team in danger of losing the AFC East crown for the first time since 2008 as well!
But, the Pro Bowl rosters weren't completely void of 11-3 Patriots ... cornerback Stephon Gilmore, linebacker Dont'a Hightower and special teamer Matthew Slater all made it.
It ain't like the Pats care much about the honors though ... the Pro Bowl is played a week before the Super Bowl, and, let's all be honest, TB12 and the guys will probably be game planning that week anyway.
As for the rest of the rosters ... the Baltimore Ravens led the AFC with 12 selections -- while Drew Brees and the Saints earned 7 spots on the NFC's team.

NFL's Kareem Jackson Suspended 2 Games For DUI Arrest ... I'm Sorry I Screwed Up

Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson was just slapped with a 2-game suspension -- ending his 2019 season -- after cops busted him for DUI back in September.
Jackson -- a 31-year-old stud defender -- was arrested on September 19 in Denver after officials say he was speeding and driving under the influence.
KJ -- a former 1st round pick who was a star at Alabama -- immediately reported the arrest to Broncos officials ... who passed the news on to the NFL.
The league investigated ... and on Tuesday they handed Jackson a 2-game suspension.
The Broncos are 5-9 and have no shot to make the playoffs ... so it's not that big of a blow for the squad.
Jackson owned up to his screw up ... and posted a heartfelt apology on Twitter.
"I would like to apologize to the Broncos organization, my teammates & fans. I understand the severity in my lapse of judgement and I will certainly not make this mistake again. I know I am fortunate to play in the NFL and am held to a high standard of professionalism and conduct."
The Broncos also released a statement addressing Jackson's arrest.
"Kareem Jackson was arrested for driving under the influence on Thursday, Sept. 19. He immediately informed our team of the incident, which we promptly reported to the NFL and thoroughly reviewed as an organization."
“There are high standards for the personal conduct of all members of our organization, and we have expressed our extreme disappointment to Kareem for his poor judgment. Under the NFL Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse, he has been suspended for the Broncos’ final two games of the 2019 season.”
As far as his legal issues ... Jackson appeared before a judge in Colorado earlier this week and plead guilty to a reduced charge -- driving while ability impaired.
The judge hit him with a year of probation, 24 hours of community service and a fine.

Seattle Seahawks DBs Rack Up $17,500 Bill At Rookie Dinner ... Steak & Booze!!!

Welcome to the league, rooks!
The Seattle Seahawks' defensive back core held its annual rookie dinner Monday night ... and a pair of first-year NFLers were hung with a $17,500 check!!!
The booze-and-steak-filled night all went down at Daniel's Broiler in Bellevue, Wash. ... and according to some of the vets, it was the most expensive rookie dinner in a while.
The receipt is absolutely nuts ... the guys bought a TON of expensive food and alcohol, piling up $11,000 worth of Louis XIII alone.
There was also Wagyu steaks, lobsters, calamari and all the fixin's ... and in total, the bill came out to $17,579.10!!!
As for the guys who whipped out the credit cards for the check ... Ugo Amadi and Marquise Blair were saddled with that task -- but neither seemed to be too pissed (at least judging by the videos we've seen).
Of course, perhaps they should've been ... neither is signed to that big of a contract -- Amadi is on a 4-year, $3,165,196 deal, while Blair inked a 4-year, $6,236,648 one.
But, hey, at least the vets seemed to appreciate the gesture ... with second-year corner Tre Flowers saying, "I been waiting on this day for a year lol."
The rookie dinner is nothing new in the NFL -- it's been going on for decades ... with Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson previously telling TMZ Sports he had to pony up some major dough when he was a rookie in 2001.
"The late Junior Seau and the veterans hazed me by taking me to dinner and spending $18,000 of my money!" LT said.
Good thing he's rich!

DUBBBB CLUBBBB!!!!!
New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton turned his team's locker room into a nightclub after beating the hell out of the Colts on Monday night ... and the guys LOVED IT!!!
Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (per usual) and linebacker Craig Robertson were front and center on the dance the floor ... cutting a rug like they just won the Super Bowl.
Other squad mates eventually joined in on the party too ... with guys going crazy to flashing lights and loud music!!!
Seriously, it was pretty awesome.
Of course, the Saints had a lot of reasons to celebrate ... they destroyed Indianapolis, 34-7 -- while Drew Brees passed Peyton Manning on the all-time touchdown passes list.
The Saints still have some work to do to lock up a high postseason seed ... they need a few things to break their way in order to get a first-round bye.
But, something tells us if it all goes the right way for New Orleans -- they'll know how to celebrate!!

NFL's Josh Gordon Fails Drug Test, Suspended Pete Carroll Says No Signs Of Relapse

3:20 PM PT -- Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll just addressed the suspension minutes ago ... calling the whole situation "unfortunate" ... and says there were no signs of any sort of relapse.
"We heard today that it was coming," Carroll told reporters on Monday. "Our heart goes out to Josh having to face this again and the fact that he's up against it and all this poses a great challenge to him."
"Fortunately, he'll have the benefit of all the league's resources to support him and help him. We wish him the very best in taking care of business."
When asked if there were any signs of a relapse, Carroll said, "We saw Josh at a really high level the whole time he was here. The work ethic he brought was one, but getting along with people and being good to work with and talk and all that and deal with on a regular basis, he was great."
"We were not aware that there was anything to be concerned about other than the history, in which we knew about."
That's a wrap for Josh Gordon ... again.
The insanely talented wide receiver has just been suspended again by the NFL after failing another drug test, league officials say.
"Josh Gordon of the Seattle Seahawks has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse."
Unclear exactly what Gordon tested positive for -- but his battle with substance abuse over the years is no secret.
The 28-year-old star missed the entire 2015 and 2016 NFL seasons for substance abuse issues back when he was with the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns eventually had enough of the drama and traded him to the New England Patriots back in 2018 ... but his problems didn't stop there.
At the end of the 2018 season, Gordon violated the league's drug policy again and missed the entire postseason ... including the Super Bowl, when the Pats beat the Rams.
JOSH GORDON.

Report: Jarvis Landry Tells Cardinals to 'Come Get Me' ... After Sideline Spat

The absolute dumpster fire of a season keeps getting worse for the Cleveland Browns. Reportedly.
It was bad enough that Cleveland got wrecked by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday ... but now SI's Mike Silver says Browns' superstar WR Jarvis Landry was asking his opponents to "come get me" during the bad loss.
Of course, this is on the heels of Jay Glazer's report claiming Odell Beckham told teams the same thing earlier this season ... even though OBJ has denied wanting out.
Things got tense on the sidelines between Landry and Freddie Kitchens on Sunday, with Jarvis visibly upset with his head coach during the 38-24 loss to the Cards.
#Browns Jarvis Landry voicing some...umm...frustration with Freddie Kitchens. pic.twitter.com/tFtEkHDFyC
— Jon Doss (@JonDoss) December 15, 2019 @JonDoss
Fast forward to Silver, who says "multiple" sources claim Landry -- and other Browns players -- practically begged Arizona's sidelines to save them from their misery.
... Which is saying A LOT, considering the Cardinals are 4-9-1 (if the report is accurate).
More fallout from the Jarvis Landry tirade during the Browns-Cardinals game: I'm told by two sources that before the game ended, 'multiple' Browns players yelled at the Arizona sideline to 'come get me'--asking to come play for the Cardinals. Landry, I'm told, was one of them.

This season has been a disaster for the Browns ... they were considered to be legit Super Bowl contenders during the off-season but have wildly underachieved.
Wondering if Baker Mayfield will chime in on this one ...

Here's Tom Brady being a G.O.A.T. teammate ... claiming the newly released Spygate II video didn't help the New England Patriots at all!!
... Sure, Tom. Sure.
As we previously reported, the Pats are in hot water once again after one of their scouts was caught filming the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline just days before their game last week.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer released a portion of the footage ... and it sure as hell looks like the Pats were spying.

But, in an interview on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" ... Brady backed his team by claiming the video didn't help the Patriots one bit!!
"I don't think any player gave it one second of thought," TB12 said. "It's not something that registered."
Brady added, "You just move on, man. There's a lot of distractions out there."
Of course, as much as Brady downplays it ... the vid really is a rough look for New England -- which had previously been heavily punished for spying on opponents back in 2007.
In the new footage, you can hear a Bengals staffer giving the Patriots scout the business over filming their sideline ... saying, "C'mon, guys! I don't see the advanced scout in this footage!"
For the league's part ... a new punishment for the Patriots could be coming -- commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL is investigating the video "thoroughly."

First, they crushed the Broncos, then Chiefs superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce hit the club HARD ... raging their faces off like they just won the Super Bowl!
Of course, they're FARRRR from the big game ... they beat a struggling Denver team 23-3 in a snowstorm while at home in Kansas City. But, who cares, IT'S WIN RIGHT?!
After the game, Mahomes and Kelce -- and their girlfriends -- hit up a local K.C. nightclub and TURNED ALL THE WAY UP!!
They were dancing, they were singing ... and Patrick's GF, Brittany Matthews, was chugging booze from the bottle while Kelce's GF, Kayla, poured!!!
The Chiefs are now 10-4 and cruising into the playoffs ... where (as of right this second) they're set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round.
The good news for Patrick ... it seems his girlfriend is out of her sad funk after an alleged incident last week with Patriots fans at Gillette Stadium in New England.
As we previously reported, Brittany claims she and Patrick's brother, Jackson Mahomes, had to be moved by security to a safe area because Pats fans were heckling and harassing them.
Didn't seem she had any sorts of similar issues at snowy Arrowhead ... and the celebration proved that!!!

Here it is ... a KEY piece of the video at the center of the Patriots SpyGate II scandal -- and it's reallllllly bad for the Pats.
The footage, obtained by "NFL on FOX" reporter Jay Glazer, shows the moments the Patriots video crew is confronted by Cincinnati Bengals' security last weekend over concerns the crew was illegally shooting video of their sidelines.
During the exchange, you can hear Bengals security express major concerns over the video -- since it REALLY looks like the videographer was SPYING!!
Remember, the Patriots say the video team was tasked to shoot a behind-the-scenes segment on an advanced scout for a show on the Pats website called "Do Your Job."
But, as the Bengals security official points out to the video crew, there's a large chunk of the video where you don't see the scout ... only the Bengals sidelines.
FOX SPORTS EXCLUSIVE: @JayGlazer reveals footage of Patriots filming Bengals. pic.twitter.com/C7U7mopaEm
— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) December 15, 2019 @FOXSports
Here's an exchange from the video ...
Bengals Security: "And, this is a piece your filming on your advanced scout?
Pat's video crew: "Yeah."
Bengals Security: "Yeah? C'mon guys! I don't see the advanced scout in this footage!"
Patriots video crew: "No, that's not. We were trying to get some field perspective. That's my bad."
The Patriots crew offered to delete the video but the Bengals security told him, "The damage is done my friend!"
The Bengals immediately referred the matter to NFL security and the league has launched an investigation.
The Patriots have admitted the video team broke league rules -- but they insist the video team was NOT tasked to spy, claiming the whole thing was an accident.
For his part, Glazer says there WILL be a punishment -- but it's unclear what it will be at this point.
Bill Belichick has denied involvement -- claiming the video team does not report to him.
During the "NFL On FOX" pregame show on Sunday, both Michael Strahan and Curt Menefee expressed how BAD of a look it is on the team.
Especially since the Patriots were caught in a video cheating scandal back in 2007 and were punished heavily for it.
The Patriots actually play the Bengals SUNDAY -- a team they're expected to murder, with or without spy video.

Vince Young just lost a crapload of his most prized football possessions in a storage unit auction ... and now, his loss can be your gain, 'cause the new owner tells us she's sellin' it all!!
Young apparently didn't pay the fees for his storage space in Houston, Texas ... and it's a bummer for the dude, 'cause some of his COOLEST memorabilia was in there.
We're told items in the storage unit included Young's Maxwell Award, his MVP trophy from the 2006 Rose Bowl and a whole bunch of other one-of-a-kind items.
We're told the ball from his first-ever NFL touchdown pass was also in there ... and even helmets he used throughout his career -- including the '06 Rose Bowl game -- were in there.
According to the lucky unit winner ... she only paid a few thousand dollars for the semi-blind auction back in November -- and was pretty surprised at the haul that she got for the cash.
Currently, she's only listed Young's Maxwell Award, his Rose Bowl MVP trophy and his Manning Award for sale ... with the asking price of $50,000 for each on eBay.
The woman tells us she hasn't been able to get into contact with Young about the stuff ... but says she would be willing to resell all of it back to him if he wants.

99.6 MILLION people watched the 2018 "League of Legends" championships ... just a few million shy of the 2018 Super Bowl numbers.
And, Rick Fox says it's only a matter of time before "LoL" eclipses the NFL.
Fox is an Esports pioneer who famously founded Team Echo Fox -- which competes in everything from "Fortnite" to "CS:GO" and even "Mortal Kombat."
Fox says he's been watching the sport explode ... so he wasn't shocked when fellow gaming titan FaZe Banks told TMZ Sports recently there will be an Esports event that will pull in a bigger audience than the Super Bowl.
"As much as we love football in North America, it's not international to the level of gaming," Fox says.
"'League of Legends' is a huge global event. It's already got numbers right below the Super Bowl so it's coming ... it grows every year."
"Everything is so online now, technology has unlocked the ability for those people in foreign countries, or regardless of where you are in the world, to connect."
Fox also says the sport is finally growing massive stars with global appeal -- like Faker, who Fox considers the Michael Jordan of gaming.
FYI, Faker is a 23-year-old "LoL" legend from South Korea who's already racked up more than $1.2 MILLION in prize money.
In fact, Fox says he recently had a chance to play with Faker to raise money for the Bahamas Relief Foundation ... so shout out to Faker for that!
