I took the Legendary tier stadium tour today which gets you into the visiting team’s locker room. As our guide was wrapping up and asking if there were any further questions, I asked where OBJ punched a hole in the wall. Our guide said he wasn’t sure what I was talking about.
Now, each tour has two guides – one that does all the talking and one that hangs back to make sure no one falls behind or tries anything funny. Big shout out to Tom who grabbed me and my buddies and said, “Hang back a bit with me and I’ll show you where he punched the wall.”
Also, shoutout the maintenance staff for a flawless drywall patch job.

Sounds like Tom’s a real one!
They should have framed it instead

I still think they should have cut out the piece of drywall with the hole and put it on display in the Packers HoF
I hate to do this but damn look how crooked the wall going away from us is.
They should have put a frame around it with a tiny placard:
**Odell Beckham Jr (NYG)**
Playoff Loser (2017)
Fist through Drywall

Had Tom for our tour, such an awesome dude
Tom Pigeon is the absolute best!!!
Imagine if he would have punched a wooden stud in the wall lol
Back when I was in my early 20s and full of piss and vinegar I punched a hole in the drywall of my apartment after our second playoff loss to Kaepernick and harbaugh. I was a sad sad soul going out to home Depot for a patch kit at 9pm on a Sunday. Shout out to my landlord Justin for giving me my deposit back.
Tom rocks!!
sorry but out of the loop, i know how Odell punched the wall here- but whats with the “Tom” references? is that the name of your tour guide or something?
I wish they would have kept the hole and dated it. Similar to the brewers, in the press box all the baseballs that ricochet past the windows will leave dents in the wall. I went there on a tour last year and they patched up years of holes! Thankfully a few had already left their mark 😂.
It appears he told you this in confidence.
