Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman was angered by the antics of New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. when the two teams played back on December 20.

It seems the six weeks that has elapsed since have done little to alter Norman’s opinion of Beckham after the Giants receiver was suspended one game for his actions in the 38-35 Panthers victory.

According to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post, Norman is still fuming.

Shoot, that man’s crazy. You all saw it,” Norman said.

Beckham was slapped with the one game suspension after being called for three personal fouls in the game and taking a running dive into Norman’s head late in the game. Beckham wasn’t ejected from the game, though he certainly committed several acts potentially worthy of exclusion.

“I told Coach [Ron Rivera] to take me out of the game, man, because I couldn’t be in there with that,” Norman said.

The Panthers and Giants aren’t scheduled to play in 2016. So unless the teams meet in the preseason or postseason, the two won’t have to face off again until at least 2017.
