‘None of them were good guys': Stefon Diggs breaks silence on viral ‘don't date my sister' video
If you thought was going to let that 'don't date my sister' moment slide, think again. The NFL star just revisited the viral clip of his old teammates laughing about why they wouldn't let him near their sisters and let's just say, he's flipping the script. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a recent interview, Diggs didn't just brush it off, he fired shots back, claiming, 'None of those guys in that video were good guys.' Yeah, gloves off. Stefon Diggs finally addresses the infamous Vikings locker-room clip Years back, a locker room interview with some of Diggs' then-teammates took off online. The reporter asked a harmless-enough question: 'Who on the team would you least like to date your sister?' Almost immediately, players, including Dalvin Cook and Adam Thielen, point to Stefon Diggs. It was playful on the surface, but it definitely left fans wondering if there was more to the story. Social media ate it up, and the video kept resurfacing every few months, often with jokes about Diggs' love life. Fast forward to now, and Diggs has clearly had enough of being the punchline. In a more recent interview on the "Scoop City Show" with host Dianna Russini, Diggs was shown the old clip and asked for his response. Instead of laughing it off, he replied by pointing out that the guys who shaded him weren't exactly saints themselves. His exact words? ''None of those guys in that video. Maybe one—Adam Thielen, maybe. That's a maybe. [He's married to like this beautiful doctor now.] Yeah, good for him. So, I'm just kidding. But shout out to Adam. My sister is married, so congrats.' At the end of the day, it was all in good fun with a dash of vengeance served cold. Diggs turned an eight-year-old locker-room joke into a playful flex with class and timing. And since his sister is happily married now, maybe the joke's finally off the table, for good. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now And now? Diggs is clearly unbothered and maybe even winning the whole saga. Fast forward to today, and the NFL star is reportedly dating . Yep, from locker room bans to chart-topping romance, Stefon went from 'don't date my sister' to 'I'm with Bodak Yellow herself.' If that's not the ultimate glow-up and revenge tour rolled into one, we don't know what is. Also read -

Odell Beckham Jr retirement row: Star WR has chosen his next spot; influenced by 4-time MVP
Only earlier this week, Odell Beckham Jr dismissed social media rumors that he was retiring from the NFL. The star wide receiver, who last played for the Miami Dolphins (2024), revealed that he still intends to keep going despite being a free agent. With weeks to go for the regular season, it seems like OBJ has chosen his next destination, and he is influenced by four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. NFL football wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., dances after a second-round match between France's Gael Monfils and Britain's Jack Draper(AP) On Tuesday, a parody account on X, formerly known as Twitter, falsely claimed the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver was ending his career after 10 seasons. Read More: Rashee Rice NFL disciplinary hearing: Date, impact on Kansas City Chiefs and more 'Not done yet... thanks for (your) concerns and have a blessed day,' OBJ responded. The 32-year-old played nine games in 2024 for the Dolphins, recording nine receptions for 55 yards and no touchdowns. Odell Beckham Jr to the Pittsburgh Steelers? On Wednesday, a report stated that several teams are interested in OBJ. The 32-year-old addressed the Steelers rumors on the Club Random Podcast with Bill Maher. He spoke about his connection with Aaron Rodgers. 'I love him; we've had conversations,' Beckham told Maher. 'I won't say that it's not a possibility and I won't say that I haven't had any communications.' There's one more influence for OBJ - Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Read More: Taylor Swift throws shade at 'male sports fans' on Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast: 'I think we all know…' 'I f*****g love [Mike] Tomlin. I was actually supposed to be drafted to the Steelers. That was the meeting that I had that I was like, 'I think I'm going to the Steelers.' And the Giants ended up taking me at twelve," he added. Beckham, the 12th overall pick in the 2014 draft by the New York Giants, enjoyed five 1,000-yard receiving seasons early in his career, but has struggled with injuries and reduced production in recent years. He missed all of 2022 with a torn ACL sustained in the Los Angeles Rams' Super Bowl victory. Despite his decline, Beckham made clear he will decide when his playing days are over. "Plz stop reading everything on the internet, and stop texting me happy retirement... the day I'm done I will let u know," he later wrote on Tuesday. (With inputs from Reuters)

Wales wing Rees-Zammit returns to rugby with Bristol after NFL dream ends
Bristol have signed Louis Rees-Zammit following his return to rugby union after the Wales wing gave up on his 18-month long bid to break into the NFL. HT Image English Premiership side Bristol said Thursday that Rees-Zammit was joining with "immediate effect" ahead of the new league season. No further details about his contract were disclosed. The 24-year-old dramatically left rugby union in January 2024 to pursue a career in American football and was on the training squads of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars, but did not play in a regular-season game. Earlier this month Rees-Zammit, who made his name in rugby union with Gloucester, a fierce local rival of Bristol, said he was returning to the 15-a-side code. He spent last season with Jacksonville Jaguars, having been cut by the Chiefs the previous campaign, but failed to make an NFL appearance for either franchise as a wide receiver after originally switching sports by joining the NFL's International Player Pathway Program in 2024. By then he had already scored 14 tries in 32 Tests for Wales and been selected for the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa. Bristol, who reached the Premiership semi-finals last season before losing to eventual champions Bath, are one of the most attacking teams in English rugby's top flight. Their 95 tries was the joint-highest in the division during the 2024/25 campaign and Rees-Zammit said their approach made them an "obvious choice". "The style of rugby the team play -- all about entertaining the fans and growing the game -- perfectly aligns to how I want to play and how I express myself on and off the field," Rees-Zammit said in a Bristol statement. "I want to get fans out of their seats, create exciting moments and help people fall in love with the game. I'm excited to return to rugby at a club that demands those values." Bristol's opening match of the new Premiership season is against Leicester on September 28. Rees-Zammit made his Gloucester debut soon after turning 18 and went on to score 42 tries in 77 matches for the Cherry and Whites during a six-year stint at Kingsholm. His first Wales cap came in 2020 aged 19, with his speed and finishing ability making him a rising star of the sport. Bears boss Pat Lam has no doubt Rees-Zammit, who will join the squad on Saturday, is an ideal fit, saying: "He has the drive and ambition to be one of the best back-three players in the world, and his goals align perfectly with our ambitions as a club. "At just 24 years old, we know the athlete and competitor he is. The way we play and the way he wants to play fit seamlessly together, and we're looking forward to working with him." Wales' new coach, Steve Tandy, has already said Rees-Zammit could be in contention for a Test recall as soon as the November internationals. jdg/nf
