While neither has confirmed anything, the internet is awash with creative memes and diverse reactions. For many Oregon supporters, this public sighting solidified Moga's "star power" even before he's thrown a college pass.
Meanwhile, Dillon Gabriel, the source of the "hard launch" jest, although for his athletic pursuits, is also drawing significant attention.
The former Oregon quarterback was drafted 94th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft. Facing off against veterans Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders, he's currently engaged in a tough competition for the starting quarterback position.
Reports from Browns minicamp indicate that Gabriel has been taking the majority of first-team practice repetitions, displaying the same precision and composure that previously earned him a Heisman finalist nod and the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award.
While some scouts have articulated reservations about his height and arm strength, Cleveland's coaching staff remains optimistic. They are particularly fascinated by his adaptability, having successfully learned and led offenses at three different college programs.

‘Thugs of Hindustan': Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya sing Sinatra's ‘I did it my way' at lavish London bash; video goes viral
At a glittering London soirée hosted by Lalit Modi, a moment straight out of a movie unfolded: the former IPL commissioner and controversial tycoon Vijay Mallya belted out Frank Sinatra's iconic I Did It My Way to a cheering crowd. The clip, posted by Modi on Instagram, quickly caught fire online – drawing both laughs and raised eyebrows, given the legal baggage both men carry. The bash was anything but low-key. With over 310 guests flown in from across the globe, it was a full-blown spectacle of glitz and nostalgia. Among the familiar faces was former RCB star Chris Gayle, who posted a story with the duo, writing, 'We living it up. Thanks for a lovely evening,' and tagging both hosts. 'Had an amazing night with 310 friends and family… Thank you to one and all who attended this evening and made it one of the most special nights for me,' Modi wrote in the caption, cheekily adding, 'Hope this video doesn't break the Internet. Controversial for sure. But that's what I do best.' A post shared by Lalit Modi (@lalitkmodi) The Internet certainly paid attention. While some viewers said, calling them 'Desi Boys. English Style,' others went a step further with comments like 'Thugs of Hindustan.' One person said, 'Wow that seems like a whole lot of fun.' Lalit Modi, once hailed as the mastermind behind the IPL's global success, has remained in the UK since 2010 after facing suspension from the BCCI. The charges against him include alleged financial irregularities, bid manipulation, and money laundering, involving massive sums under scrutiny by Indian authorities. Vijay Mallya, once dubbed the 'King of Good Times,' left India in 2016 amidst mounting allegations of financial fraud tied to his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines. Declared a 'fugitive economic offender' by Indian courts, Mallya's legal troubles in the UK continue. Just last week, his appeal against a bankruptcy ruling was thrown out by the British High Court. He's previously claimed that Indian authorities have already recovered assets worth over Rs 14,000 crore, more than what he allegedly owes.

Taylor Swift's bf Travis Kelce gets real about dating the superstar: ‘Just don't want my meat on Page Six'
NFL star Travis Kelce may have three Super Bowl rings and the world's biggest pop star by his side, but as he revealed in a recent interview, things aren't always as polished as they seem. Appearing on the Bussin' With the Boys podcast yesterday, Kelce, 35 opened up about his insecurities, particularly when it comes to reading — and the unexpected challenges of dating someone as high-profile as Taylor Swift, who is also 35. Taylor Swift with bf Travis Kelce Kelce, who hosted Saturday Night Live in March 2023, admitted he had a hard time with the live sketch show's notoriously demanding table reads. 'The table reading, for a guy that can't really read that well, it was kind of a f–ked situation,' he said. 'I felt like I was just trying to get through the reading, instead of actually acting it out and giving it a voice and giving it a character and things like that.' He added that while others were likely trying to channel characters and comedic timing, he was laser-focused on just getting the words right. 'Like, I was just focused on, 'Don't f–king skip this line,' you know what I mean? I'm more of an audio guy.' Still, despite the struggle, Kelce made it clear he approached the gig with dedication. 'I want to make them respect my approach and how I'm, like, taking it serious. I didn't want to look like a loser,' he said. Navigating fame with Taylor Swift While the podcast dove into his professional challenges, it also touched on his relationship with Taylor Swift, whom he's been dating since 2023. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he hadn't fully anticipated what life in the public eye would be like when dating the global superstar. 'That's probably the only thing I didn't really grasp until you're in it,' he said, referring to the constant paparazzi presence. 'That's probably the craziest thing.' He shared an example with a laugh, recalling an unexpected moment on the golf course. 'Like, I'm just playing golf and all of the sudden in the trees there's just a f–king guy with a camera. Like, ah s–t. I gotta go to the restroom now. I can't just go over here and take a piss.' He ended it by saying, 'Just don't want my meat on Page Six, know what I mean?' The couple has faced a lot of scrutiny from both fans and the media, with some critics suggesting their public appearances are attention-seeking. Kelce, however, shut those claims down. 'We're having fun with it, being a couple. … We're just enjoying life and having fun.'
