Rivera apologies to Tom Coughlin for our players' behavior after the game (from here).  

Quote

"I'm sorry about my guys' behavior, coach. You did a great job," Rivera said on Showtime's "Inside the NFL." 

Don't read into it that he is admitting that our guys truck first etc, I don't think that is what is going on here.  Just goes to show what a great coach Rivera is, and how lucky we are to have him.  

No idea how to embed videos from Vine, but here is a video with sound: https://vine.co/v/iAamEg39bFn

I kind of disagree with Ron here.  Seems to me like Coughlin should have taken OBJ out a play or two and had a man to man talk.  I mean OBJ was punching people out there before the helmet to helmet hit.

Edit: But I guess Ron can't apologize for what Coughlin's player's did.  Still it seems like Coughlin could have apologized too.

I don't think saying "Sorry for how our guys behaved" at all implies that "Your guys were faultless."

It is indisputable that Norman lost his cool, though I think anyone reasonable would have, as well.

Really? What BS. I'd agree with that statement as far as trash talking goes, but the Giants seem to be using Panthers trash talk as an excuse for Beckham's actions. Trying to justify his fouls as "the way the game's played" is a big fat crock of poo, and goes directly against Coughlin's rep as a disciplinarian.

From the article:

Quote

“It’s not fair, it’s not justice, it’s not the way it was,” Coughlin said. “If you’re naive enough to think that way, you better do some soul searching yourself. Beckham certainly was wrong and we said he was wrong from day one. But there were factors involved starting in pregame, which are well documented, which indicate there was an attempt to provoke him. He was provoked, he was out of control, he was wrong, no doubt about that but … there are two sides to this not just one.”

To be clear Tom, what you actually said from Day One was that you didn't know Beckham was the one drawing the penalties.

(and for the record, you look like a total ass right now)

Those comments are Coughlin's swan song. They can't beat the Vikings without Odell, which means they're eliminated from playoff contention, which likely means Coughlin is fired. And all old Tom can say about it is bumbling confused ramblings to blame everyone but himself.
