So, there was Odell Beckham Jr., caught by the television cameras smiling and clapping in admiration of the Steelers’ Antonio Brown after the wide receiver’s touchdown catch against Big Blue on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
This recalled likely the most infamous incongruous smile incident in New York sports history, the one in which Rangers captain Vic Hadfield was caught on television smiling in the Spectrum penalty box in the final minute of his team’s 1974 Game 7, 4-3 semifinal elimination defeat to the Flyers.
Monday, Hadfield talked to The Post and, once and for all, explained what happened that fateful Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia.
