Odell Beckham Jr. Doesn’t Believe That “[COVID-19] Can Get To Me”

During the NBA season, the league’s “Bubble” was able to keep players and staff safe from COVID-19. They were praised for not having any new reports of diagnoses throughout their lockdown, but the NFL hasn’t been as lucky. Players have been caught reportedly sneaking women into their hotels and coaching staff have been fined for their misuse of masks. There has recently been a number of reports about NFL players and staff members contracting coronavirus, but according to Odell Beckham Jr., he won’t be adding his name to the list.

Just last week, Beckham missed practice because he was ill, but USA Today stated that it wasn’t due to COVID. The football player was asked if, at any time, he was concerned that he’d come down with the virus that has taken the lives of 220,000 Americans and over 1 million worldwide. “Not in an arrogant way, but I don’t think COVID can get to me,” said Beckham. “I don’t think it’s going to enter this body. I don’t want no parts of it, it don’t want no parts of me. It’s a mutual respect.”

Due to the recent COVID-19 diagnoses within the NFL, many teams have reportedly shut down their facilities in order to keep their locations from becoming “super spreaders” of the virus.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
