TV networks celebrate ego trips, not Barkley’s classiness after TD

Modal Trigger

Saquon Barkley didn't celebrate like crazy after scoring a touchdown against the Texans in Week 3.

Saquon Barkley (Saquon is Iroquois for “breaker of tackles”) scored on a determined run Sunday, then appeared headed to hand the ball to the nearest official.

That’s when Odell Beckham Jr., the newly enriched more mature version, intercepted Barkley, swatted the ball from his hand and invited his Giants teammate to join him in a gyrating dance. Barkley shook his head “No,” retrieved the ball and tossed it to an official.
