Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan follows through and makes Evans' autograph permanent
Later that same day, the fan went to a local tattoo shop in Tampa and had Mike Evans' signature inked exactly where it was signed. The tattoo artist shared a photo of the finished piece on Instagram, tagging both the fan and the Buccaneers. The post read,
'This might be the biggest fan move of the year!'
Mike Evans has not officially reacted to the tattoo online, but fans continue to tag him on social media hoping he'll comment. Evans, 30, has played for the Buccaneers since being drafted in 2014 and is one of the team's most loved players. He helped lead the Bucs to a Super Bowl win in 2021 and continues to be a fan favorite.
The unnamed fan told a local reporter that he's watched every Bucs game for the past ten years and has always dreamed of meeting Evans. 'He's my hero,' the fan said. 'Now I've got his name with me forever.'

Just a few tweaks, taps, and tokens—and boom, your Striker becomes your Striker. This guide will help you customize your Mecha like a boss. Step 1: Enter the Striker Bay Customization begins in one place—Striker Bay. This is your personal garage where all your mechanical beasts are stored. Once inside, select the mech (Striker) you want to edit. Don't worry, you can change things up anytime, and the game never charges for resetting designs. All You Need to Know For Mecha Break Release Step 2: Open the Design Lab Click on 'Striker Design'. This is where all the visual magic happens. You'll find a slick interface with multiple tabs, each handling a different layer of customization. Here's how to navigate it: 1. Paint Jobs: Go Wild with Colors You can either go minimalist with monochrome shades or go full Gundam with rainbow chaos. Customize: Full-body shades Individual parts (arms, legs, torso, weapons) Metallic, matte, or glossy finishes Pro tip: Paint kits are lootable in missions—extract safely to keep them! 2. Patterns: Add Some Style Patterns act like decals and give your mech personality. Flames, camo, circuits—you name it. Only one pattern can be applied at a time Placement is fixed per pattern type Looks best when layered with good paint contrast 3. Insignias: Show Off Your Allegiances Want to flash your squad logo or a cool emblem? Use insignias. Place up to five insignias on any part of your Striker Resize, rotate, and reposition them freely Mix and match for some epic combos 4. Accents: The Finishing Touch These are minor design tweaks that really elevate your mech's look. Add neon glows, edge lighting, or frame highlights Best used for color-matching or breaking monotony 5. Skins: Structural Tweaks Unlike paint, skins can change the actual look of specific components—think new wing shapes or alternate shoulder plates. While not a full overhaul, they're very noticeable. Step 3: Save Your Custom Looks Each Striker gets three design slots: Slot 1: Always free Slots 2 & 3: Unlock with Mission Tokens This means you can create a 'desert ops' version, a 'neon party' build, or a 'stealth black' model and switch between them based on mood or mission type. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Skal I på bilferie til sommer?

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs hit with new $10 million lawsuit; dancer claims he was DRUGGED, given an STD
As jurors continue deliberations in Sean Diddy Combs' high-profile federal sex trafficking case, the music has been slapped with a new legal battle. According to a report on Variety, a new $10 million lawsuit has been filed against him in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging sexual abuse, drugging, and intentional transmission of a sexually transmitted disease. The complaint, filed Tuesday night by Edmond Laurent, a former model, actor, and exotic dancer, accuses Combs and several unnamed individuals of assault, battery, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and aiding and abetting. Laurent, a native of Dominica who performed under the name 'Islander,' claims the abuse began in the late 2000s after he was hired to perform at a private event at a Los Angeles hotel. According to the 32-page lawsuit, Laurent arrived at what he thought was a bachelorette party, only to find a masked man and woman waiting for a private dance. That man, he alleges, was Sean Combs . The suit details multiple alleged encounters in which Laurent says he was manipulated into consuming spiked drinks and forced into non-consensual sexual acts, including one incident where he lost consciousness after drinking orange juice that was allegedly laced with Rohypnol and ketamine. 'When Plaintiff regained consciousness, he was lying naked on the bed, slathered in baby oil, and felt immense pressure and pain in his rectum,' the complaint states. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Laurent alleges that he later contracted condyloma and began experiencing severe health issues, including uncontrollable vomiting and an inability to retain solid food. These complications, according to the lawsuit, led to gastric surgery and a subsequent diagnosis of stomach cancer. The suit claims that Laurent, a heterosexual man once featured in music videos for Britney Spears , Tupac Shakur , Dr. Dre, Lil' Kim, and even an episode of Baywatch, was targeted and silenced by fear and shame for years before deciding to come forward. Combs is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits a verdict in a separate federal case involving charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.

I have told all this, everything has been shown in the VDs.)"
