Odell Beckham angrily responds to fake retirement report
Fake news took another victim in Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, an X account parodying ESPN's Adam Schefter spread a fake rumor that the former Giants star was retiring from the NFL. 'After 10 seasons in the NFL, Odell Beckham Jr. has decided to retire,' the account, which goes by @AdamSche1fer, wrote. 'Beckham Jr. played for the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins. He announced Tuesday.' Odell Beckham Jr. speaks onstage during Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City. Getty Images The post apparently made it to Beckham, currently a free agent with Opening Night less than a month away. The three-time Pro Bowler set the record straight with a reply to the post, saying 'LOL WTF… when was that announced and by who? That's funny, appreciate the concerns but this Shxt ain't over yet.' A minute later, Beckham doubled down, writing 'Not done yet… thanks for hr concerns and have a blessed day.' And he didn't stop there. 'No seriously,' Beckham wrote on the platform a little over an hour later. 'Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement b4 u piss me off. That will get no response. I promise u the day I'm done I will let u kno. Again if u text me happy retirement im just gon have to block u. Thanks.' Odell Beckham Jr. of the Miami Dolphins warms up prior to the game against the New England Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium on November 24, 2024 in Miami Gardens, Florida. Getty Images Beckham, 32, is without a job after playing nine games and catching nine passes for 55 yards with the Dolphins last season. He began his career in 2014 with the Giants, who drafted him 12th overall, and was later traded to the Browns in March 2019 and spent time with the Ravens, Rams and Dolphins after his time in Cleveland. In 10 NFL seasons, Beckham has totaled 575 receptions for 7,987 receiving yards and 59 touchdowns. He won Super LVI with the Rams.

Kevin Durant trolls Thunder fans after championship: 'bout time they win one'
Already dealing with the NBA fanning flames, Kevin Durant dumped gallons of gasoline. The Oklahoma City Thunder's Opening Night ring ceremony received an extra kick to it. They will host the Houston Rockets, which means the future Hall-of-Famer's attendance will make it even sweeter. Since the 2025-26 season opener was announced, there's been online chatter on how the OKC crowd should conduct itself with Durant's presence. Does he still warrant boos nearly a decade since his ugly 2016 departure? Or does a championship finally let fans fully move on? Well, Durant made that choice pretty easy. He spent the early hours of Sunday morning going back and forth with several social media users on X, formerly known as Twitter. Every year, you're guaranteed a few social media outbursts from the 36-year-old. His chronic online usage is what seperates him from other NBA superstars. And, in my opinion, more of fun guy to root for and against. Spoiling NBA fans with a drama-filled Sunday amid a content desert, Durant leaned into his villain gimmick against Thunder fans. No love lost between those two parties still. When asked about how he felt with his upcoming presence during OKC's championship celebration, he fired back. Durant wrote: "Finally. It's been 10 years, bout time they win one lmaooo" Finally. It's been 10 years, bout time they win one lmaooo That enough would grab headlines. But Durant kept going. When one Thunder fan claimed Durant doesn't need to be disrespectful to them after they won the championship, he said it was part of the fun and games that comes with following the NBA. Durant wrote: "My god, talk a little s--t back. It's not that serious" My god, talk a little shit back. It's not that serious Of course, all this stems from Durant's departure. He shocked the NBA world when he joined the Golden State Warriors. It took the Thunder nearly a decade to return to the spot they were at when he last played for them. Rehashing his controversial decision to leave, he claims zero regrets on the move. Even though he immediately won two championships with Golden State, the discourse around him remains toxic. Durant wrote: "You're right, I care more about me than I care about your fanbase. You caught me lmao." Later on, he pulled the nihilist card and said championships are championships. How fans feel right now about him is going to change the longer time passes. Durant wrote: "We all gon die and so much time gon pass that people won't even remember anything from this era of the world. So who cares" You're right, I care more about me than I care about your fanbase. You caught me lmao. We all gon die and so much time gon pass that people won't even remember anything from this era of the world. So who cares While some NBA fans might roll their eyes at this junkfood-level TV drama, you gotta love it if you're the NBA. The schedule-makers knew what they were doing when they penciled in Durant and the Rockets as the Thunder's Opening Night opponent. Now, Durant's combativeness makes it an even jucier storyline. It also gives August a few drops of content in what is otherwise the driest part of the league's calendar when everybody is on vacation for the next two months. The Durant and Thunder fans anomosity has been one of the hotter rivalries the last decade. It remains so even with both sides tasting championship champage since their divorce.
