Odell Beckham Jr. can’t help himself from getting into trouble on social media.
On Saturday, the Giants receiver posted a pretty innocuous image of himself that featured Bills defensive back Stephon Gilmore in the background.
Gilmore saw this and took it as an insult, responding in kind.
What followed was a whole lot of since-deleted feuding, preserved forever because the internet:

It turns out that the two have a history. During an October game between the two teams, Beckham was blocked by Bills safety Duke Williams after an interception and appeared to punch him in retaliation (watch here).
Gilmore had some harsh words for Beckham after the incident.
“I don’t know what’s up with him,” Gilmore said, via Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News. “He acts like nobody’s supposed to hit him and you’re supposed to let him catch the ball. He’s weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He’s weird.
“He’s different. It’s kind of like you’re playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him — throwing a tantrum. I’m like, ‘Man, we’re playing football. It’s a physical game. He’s a prima donna. He feels like he’s on top of the world and nobody’s supposed to do anything to him.”
Gilmore isn’t the only cornerback that Beckham has gone at it with on social media this offseason. His on-field grudges seem to carry off it as well.
