BEEF: Malik Nabers Had A Problem With Greg Olsen's Comments About Him During The Giants Game Yesterday, And Greg Olsen Has Clapped Back

Yesterday during the Giants' game in Philly, FOX's Joe Davis called out Malik Nabers for having bad body language. Davis's partner in the booth, Greg Olsen, expanded upon it and talked about how a stud receiver wanting his touches can't come at the expense of the team's success. Nothing crazy, right?
Welp, Nabers did NOT like that conversation at all.
Nabers went after Greg Olsen on his Instagram story after the game, which led to a New York Post article being written about the whole exchange. However, the New York Post was pretty liberal in the quote that they attributed to Olsen, so Olsen came out of the woodwork to bash them for putting words into his mouth.
Gotta respect him for bringing the receipts, I guess.
Regardless, Malik Nabers is apparently still irritated by Olsen's comments, because it seems like he took a subtle jab at Olsen with his Instagram post today. Nabers included a picture of his "bad body language" on the sideline, and the caption seems to paint himself as a victim of people hating on him for no reason.

Wide receivers are something else, man. They live in their own world. It's the biggest diva position in all of sports.
I don't know if anything else will come out of this, but I think everyone who watched the game would agree that Malik Nabers had horrible body language. That's a more than reasonable thing to say, and it's not ridiculous for Greg Olsen and the broadcast team to point that out. Especially during such a shitty game where there wasn't much to talk about otherwise.
I am curious to see if Olsen will be on the call for another Giants game this year, though. I'd love to hear what else is said between these two down the line. We shall see.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted if the beef continues. But right now, I'm #TeamOlsen for sure.
