The retired NFL wide receiver jumped into the trending topic with a brief but loaded reaction that quickly lit up social media. The situation centers around a 2019 revelation by Lockett about his decision to remain a virgin until marriage. Brown's reaction has now become the focal point, overshadowing even the original story. Former Buccaneers star stirs buzz with viral three-word post The stir began when NFL news aggregator Dov Kleiman reposted Lockett's old quote from his poetry book, where he discussed his decision to abstain from s** until age 30. The topic, already sensitive, drew further attention when Brown posted a short message on Thursday that read: 'All hands team...'. Though he gave no explanation, fans interpreted it as a sarcastic jab at Lockett's past vow. The tweet instantly became a talking point across the NFL world. — AB84 (@AB84) Brown's post added fuel to a discussion that was already controversial. Known for his unpredictable behavior both on and off the field, Brown has often used social media to take veiled shots at former teammates and NFL figures. This time, the target was not a rival, but a peer whose personal choice had once been praised for its honesty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 年最紓壓的農場遊戲！無需安裝 東加：島嶼農場 立即播放 Undo The timing and tone of Brown's message ensured it wouldn't go unnoticed.

Tyler Lockett says he was a virgin until 30: 'I waited until marriage'
Tyler Lockett shocks fans with confession, he remained a virgin until 30 In a league where headlines are often about flashy lifestyles and wild drama, Tyler Lockett just made waves for the exact opposite reason. The former Seahawks Pro Bowl wide receiver, now with the Tennessee Titans, revealed that he was a virgin until age 30, a decision he made out of deep Christian conviction. Lockett shared that he waited until marriage to have sex, staying true to his values despite being a millionaire athlete in the NFL spotlight. Tyler Lockett says his faith led him to stay celibate until marriage While speaking candidly on a recent podcast, Lockett didn't shy away from the personal details. He revealed that he saved himself for marriage because of his religious beliefs and followed through on that promise to himself even after fame, money, and attention came calling. 'I waited until marriage,' he said. 'I wanted to honor God, and that's what I believed was right.' In an environment where temptation is everywhere, Lockett's choice stood out not just for what it was, but for how long he kept it quiet. 'People around me knew,' he added, 'but I never made a big deal out of it.' Let's be real, being a good-looking, wealthy wide receiver in the NFL makes his decision even more uncommon. But Lockett said he never let the culture change his mindset. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He stuck with his beliefs, even when it felt isolating.

SpaceX May Be Failing to Get Starship Working at All
Last week, both stages of SpaceX's Starship exploded after returning from space. The Super Heavy booster flew apart as it attempted a landing burn over ground, and forty minutes later, the Starship vehicle itself disintegrated somewhere over the Indian Ocean. It was the Elon Musk-owned space company's ninth test of its megarocket, the development of which has been plagued by spectacular failures. Failure is part of the company's formula for success, but the prolonged series of comeupances may be very bad news, according to engineer-turned-journalist Will Lockett. "Dig a little deeper, and it's evident that SpaceX has hit an impasse," Lockett wrote in his newsletter. Reusability is the Starship's raison d'être. If the booster and spacecraft can safely perform multiple launches, the idea is that it'll save SpaceX — and its customers — invaluable time and money that it'd otherwise waste building new ones from scratch. Its other selling point is hauling a massive amount of cargo in one go, facilitating ambitious missions like sending humans to Mars. Yet two years on since Starship embarked on its maiden test flight, SpaceX is still a long way from achieving reusability or a hefty payload capacity. Regarding the former, last week's flight test was the first time SpaceX reused a Super Heavy booster, replacing four of its 33 engines. Regarding the latter, the test had Starship carry a dummy payload of a measly 16 metric tons. Musk has previously promised that Starship will carry 150 tons. In previous tests, the booster guided itself back to its launch tower, where it was caught midair by the structure's "Chopstick" arms — an unquestionably stunning achievement. For its most recent flight, SpaceX ditched making a catch and aimed for a controlled splash landing in the Pacific. That's because it was testing sending the booster into a "belly-flop" to increase drag as it re-enters the atmosphere, thereby slowing its descent and reducing the fuel that needs to be burned by its retrorockets, the engines that kick in to assist the landing. Less fuel means less weight, which means more payload capacity, and so forth. Inauspiciously, the booster exploded right after its retrorockets ignited, suggesting that it was the engines that had failed. The stresses of the belly-flop, it would also appear, proved too much for the craft's structure. In Lockett's analysis, the booster is both too heavy and yet too fragile. If true, then engineers are in a bind: "Super Heavy Booster and its engines need to be heavily reinforced to survive such a landing (especially if it is to be reused, as planned), but doing so would add enough weight to render the entire exercise moot," Lockett wrote. The upper stage, meanwhile, made some progress by reaching space and flying at orbital speeds. But in a repeat of the last two tests, it experienced a fuel leak — though instead of instantly exploding, it spiraled out of control and broke up in the atmosphere. "The fact that it was yet another fuel leak that caused the rocket to fail heavily suggests they have a cascading stress issue," wrote Lockett. "They strengthened the fuel lines and the structure that supported the rocket engines after flights 7 and 8, but now a component further down the line has failed, suggesting that the stress is being transferred to other, weaker components." Lockett's prognosis is sobering. "The lesson here is that SpaceX somehow needs to make Starship significantly more robust and lighter by well over a hundred tonnes if it is to conduct even one successful mission, let alone achieve constant reuse — which, let's be clear, is basically impossible," he added. Wendy Whitman Cobb, a space policy expert with the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, summed up SpaceX's folly. "They are trying to do everything at once with Starship," Whitman Cobb told the Verge — building a new rocket, making both the booster and spaceship reusable, on top of boasting an unprecedented payload capacity. "It really is a very difficult engineering challenge." All the drama with the exploding Starship also stands in contrast to the incremental approach SpaceX took when developing its very reliable Falcon 9 rocket. Attempts to recover a booster weren't made until years into its development, and even then, it was eventually settled that only the booster — not the entire spacecraft — would be reusable. Whitman Cobb remains slightly optimistic about the vehicle's fortunes. "I believe SpaceX will engineer their way out of it," she added. "I believe their engineering is good enough that they will make Starship work," Not Lockett. It's taken SpaceX "nine failed attempts and almost $10 billion for Starship to not reach orbit with a fraction of its promised payload and to never land an upper stage or successfully reuse a first stage," he wrote. "All flight 9 has proven is just how much of a dead end Starship is," More on SpaceX: If NASA Had Blown Up This Many Rockets, The Government Would Have Cancelled the Space Program

Action St. Louis mobilizes tornado relief at YMCA after the storm
ST. LOUIS – St. Louisans who find themselves homeless in the aftermath of the May 16 tornado are receiving help from the appropriately named Action St. Louis. It's been 18 days since the tornado hit and volunteers with Action St. Louis have mobilized at the YMCA in the city's O'Fallon Park neighborhood. A spokesperson for the grassroots organization says they'll continue to help storm victims pick up the pieces and move forward. Action St. Louis didn't wait for funding or red tape. They moved when needed and are still here to meet the moment. 'This is the people response. We are a hub that is 100% people-powered,' spokesperson Aleidra Allen said. 'The night of the tornado, we put out a Google form to just start recruiting volunteers so we could be a service to our people and try to meet any immediate needs.' What began as a pop-up site is now a full-scale community relief hub that's helping thousands. Kehoe, White House offer differing status updates of federal disaster assistance for May 16 tornadoes 'At our hub, people can get various services around things like getting things boarded up, tarps, debris clean-up, and also things like home goods, cleaning supplies, paper towels, flashlights, hygiene items; they can also get nonperishable food, diapers,' Allen said. Renee Lockett, whose home was destroyed by the tornado, says she's been living in her car for the past 18 days. 'I lost everything – my clothes, my food; practically everything I own,' Lockett said. 'I can't do nothing but get help and I'm ready to receive it and I'm grateful for it.' Action St. Louis pointed Lockett to where she could seek temporary housing and additional help. The organization's work is far from over, though. They're calling on the public to keep the momentum going with donations, supplies, and time. 'We will be here and we will continue to show up until we feel that there is a sustainable plan in place to ensure that our people will get the long-term care that they need,' Allen said.
