Report: Officer Who Was Slapped By Odell Beckham Jr. Will Not Press Charges

The officer has no plans to press charges.

The officer whose butt was slapped by Odell Beckham Jr. does not plan on pressing charges, according to NOLA.com.

Earlier this week, an arrest warrant was filed for Beckham after he slapped an officer following the College Football Playoff National Championship. He was in the locker room of LSU, his alma mater, which had just beaten Clemson to win the championship. The officer was warning players to stop smoking cigars inside when Beckham slapped his butt.

On Friday, the officer reportedly signed an affidavit stating he does not plan to press charges.

According to CBS, Louisiana statute 14.34.2 mandates that those guilty of simple battery of a police officer "shall be fined not more than $500 and imprisoned not less than fifteen days nor more than six months without benefit of suspension of sentence."

The Browns have released a statement regarding the situation: "We are aware of the incident and have been in contact with Odell and his representatives on the matter. They are cooperating with the proper authorities to appropriately address the situation," said a spokesperson.

Beckham was also seen handing out cash to players immediately after the game. That incident is currently under investigation by LSU, the NCAA and the SEC.

Stephen A. Smith Roasted After Predicting A Victory For Clemson

Smith got a taste of his own medicine.

Stephen A. Smith has been known for his strong takes on everything that has to do with sports. On Monday, Smith made the bold prediction that the Clemson Tigers would defeat the LSU Tigers in the National Championship game. In the end, Smith was sorely mistaken as the LSU Tigers exploded for 42 points in a huge win over Clemson. Quarterback Joe Burrow had a phenomenal game with five passing touchdowns and a running touchdown.

On First Take this morning, Smith had to face the wrath of Marcus Spears and Ryan Clark who are mainstays on First Take. Of course, both of those men are LSU fans and they made sure to give Smith a piece of their minds . In fact, Smith was left speechless in what could very well be a first for the First Take host.

Smith has been wrong about his predictions before but this time was truly special. Clark and Spears were waiting to give Smith a taste of his own medicine and it made for some entertaining television. If you're a Cowboys fan, this must have been a truly satisfying sight to see. 

The First Take host will probably think twice before betting against LSU again.

LSU Tops Clemson To Win The CFB National Title, Fans React

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was a beast.

Last night was huge for college football fans as the LSU Tigers took on the Clemson Tigers in the National Championship game. Both teams came into this matchup with undefeated records and fans were curious to see which quarterback would end up on top. Of course, the two QB's were Joe Burrow for LSU and Trevor Lawrence for Clemson. In the end, Burrow and LSU came out on top with an impressive 42-25 win. Burrow threw for five touchdowns and ran for one as his team hoisted the championship trophy.

This season was one to remember for Burrow as he broke multiple touchdown records while also winning the Heisman. This Spring, Burrow will be drafted into the NFL and many people think he will go to the Cincinnati Bengals with the first overall pick.

Fans were quick to react to the win on social media, as many LSU fans were happy about the huge win. LSU has been in Alabama's shadow for a while now although this year they were able to get the weight off their backs and come through with a season to remember. Coach O was a phenomenal source of inspiration to the team and with Joe Burrow at quarterback, they were pretty well unstoppable.

Check out what fans had to say, below.

LSU drops off final hype video, featuring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The LSU Tigers will look to complete their undefeated season tonight in Atlanta, as they take on the unbeaten Clemson Tigers in the National Championship game. Ahead of the highly anticipated showdown, LSU Football dropped off one final hype video, narrated by the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Sure, The Rock reps for The U, but the video clip shown below will have LSU players and fans ready to run through a brick wall.

For those interested on the gambling aspects of tonight's title game, LSU has been pegged as 5.5-point favorites (up from the 3.5 they opened as), with an over/under point total hovering at 69 points. Nice.

The Bayou Bengals are led by their Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, who is considered among many to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow and the Tigers cruised to a 37-10 victory over fifth ranked Georgia in the SEC Championship Game and then proceeded to steamroll the Oklahoma Sooners in the Peach Bowl behind Burrow's 493 passing yards and eight total touchdowns. 

The National Championship is scheduled to kickoff at 8pm ET tonight, airing on ESPN.
