Odell Beckham Jr. shuts down viral retirement rumors with just five words
Bill Kostroun/Associated Press The internet had OBJ retired before he even had a chance to pick a team for next season. On Tuesday, social media lit up with a viral post claiming Odell Beckham Jr. had decided to call it a career after 10 NFL seasons, listing his time with the Giants, Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins. The football world reacted instantly but the man himself had other plans. The viral post that had NFL fans saying goodbye too soon It started with one short announcement that spread like wildfire across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. The post confidently stated that Beckham Jr. was retiring from the league, and even included a neat summary of his career stops. Within minutes, fans were reminiscing about 'the catch,' his Super Bowl win with the Rams, and his electric prime. The problem? OBJ never said a word about retiring. Odell Beckham Jr. says he's 'not done yet' after fake retirement news spreads If you know Odell Beckham Jr., you know he doesn't need a press conference to make a point. Just hours after the rumor caught fire, OBJ took to X and wrote: "Not done yet… thanks for y'all concerns and have a blessed day." That's it. Five words and a little sign-off, enough to crush the rumor and remind everyone that he still plans on suiting up. The post immediately shifted the conversation from 'goodbye OBJ' to 'where's he going next?' Why the rumor felt believable in the first place To be fair, it's not hard to see why some people thought OBJ was ready to walk away. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you should Ditch over 40 Learn More Undo At 31, with multiple injuries behind him and no team locked in for the upcoming season, his NFL future has been a talking point for months. The rumor played into that uncertainty and social media didn't wait for receipts before running with it. While Beckham Jr. is still a free agent, several teams could use a veteran wide receiver with playoff experience and proven big-game ability. A contender looking for an extra weapon could be his next landing spot, and history shows that OBJ thrives under the brightest lights. One thing's certain, retirement is off the table for now. And if the past 24 hours are any indication, Odell Beckham Jr. isn't just sticking around in the NFL, he's still owning the headlines.

Hema Malini recalls how her blooming off-screen romance with Dharmendra added to their crackling chemistry as 'Veeru' and 'Basanti' in 'Sholay'
The iconic 'Sholay' is set to complete 50 years on August 15. The film is one of the most memorable movies of Hindi cinema and not just the film, but all the characters have also become a part of the popular culture - be it Jai, Veeru, Gabbar, Thakur or Basanti. While the film remains special for the cinegoers for many reasons, it's also special for Hema Malini and Dharmendra because jus like their on-screen characters, love bloomed for them even off-screen. This furter made 'Sholay' more exciting to watch even for the audience. In a recent conversation, Hema Malini opened up about how their off-screen love story subtly intertwined with their on-screen magic. The actress said during a chat with NDTV, 'He was very fond of me as I was of him. We had a lovely relationship because we had worked on so many movies together. We shared so much with each other — sometimes they were problems, sometimes it was happiness. Eventually, friendship led to love, maybe that's what was reflected on the big screen too, in the film. It's natural, isn't it? A lovely friendship ultimately leads to love and care for each other.' In 'Sholay', Hema's 'Basanti' became a cultural icon — the bubbly tangewali whose wit, innocence, and spirit still have audiences smiling. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now She recalled with affection the very first scene she shot for the film, the now-famous 'Mandir' sequence with Dharmendra. The Dream Girl Of Bollywood, recalled, 'The Mandir scene was the first scene I shot. It was a lot of fun. So innocently, Basanti was accepting everything and answering back to Lord Shiva. Everything was very different. Shooting happened outdoors in hot summers; I don't think we shot anything indoors. Even Ramanagara in Karnataka, where the climax scene happens, is as it was. They have not built anything there.' Dharmendra and Hema Malini have worked together in many movies like 'Tum Haseen Main Jawan', 'Seeta Aur Geeta', 'Alibaba Aur 40 Chor' apart from 'Sholay'. The film directed by Ramesh Sippy was a casting coup of sort with actors like Amitabh Bachchan , Jaya Bachchan , Sanjeev Kumar , Amjad Khan, apart from Dharmendra and Hema.
