A quick “What am I?” riddle

I'm always dropped, but never picked up.



I'm covered with copper in particular, though I describe many types of metal



Winners do me, losers are me.



My innards taste like meat; my outside looks bent.



Who am I?

Are you

I'm always dropped, but never picked up.




“Drop the Beat” is a popular phrase, but “Pick Up the Beat” is not.




I'm covered with copper in particular, though I describe many types of metal




Copper wire is used in Beats headphones; although any malleable metal can be beat.




Winners do me, losers are me.




Winners beat others, losers are beat by others.




My innards taste like meat; my outside looks bent.




The interior/innards of bEAt are the same as those of mEAt. The exterior/outside of BeaT are the same as those of BenT.
