Giants stars’ crazy party with Bieber before playoffs begin
Preparation for the Giants’ first playoff appearance in five years could wait.
Odell Beckham Jr. and the rest of the Giants receiving corps jetted to Miami on Sunday following the team’s 19-10 win over the Redskins in the regular-season finale, ringing in both the New Year and the start of playoff season by clubbing and boating with several A-list celebrities.
Beckham, Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepard and Roger Lewis partied through the night at Liv night club in Miami Beach, with Justin Bieber, Johnny Manziel and rappers Trey Songz, Lil Wayne and Fabolous on hand according to TMZ and various social media posts.
Beckham was featured on Bieber’s Instagram account, dancing and acknowledging the camera while the singer yells out “Happy New Year!” The Giants spent Monday morning sunbathing shirtless with Songz on a boat.

The Giants have six days to prepare for a resurgent Packers squad in the NFC wild-card round after Green Bay won the NFC North by defeating the Lions 31-24 Sunday night. Coach Ben McAdoo’s decision to give the players off on Mondays allowed Beckham and Co. the quick trip down south.
The Pro Bowl receiver, who showed how much he’s grown over the course of the season by the way he handled cornerback Josh Norman’s jabs on Sunday, is set to make the first playoff appearance of his three-year career.
“I want to know how to be a better football player, I want to know what you can and can’t do, what’s the consequences [are] of this or that,’’ Beckham said Sunday. “I’m really trying to learn, especially going into the playoffs, I don’t care about any foolishness or any of that other stuff that goes on outside of those lines.’’
