            <title>White House TV pool to suspend coverage of Trump events</title>
            <description>'The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government,' joint statement says</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;White House television pool members FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News announced Monday they have agreed to suspend their pooled coverage of President Donald Trump after he banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico, accusing the outlets of publishing "fake news."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monday had been CNN’s turn to serve as White House pool representative. The pool members have long taken turns covering the president and sharing footage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting," the pool members, FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News, said in a joint statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/trump-announces-white-house-ban-three-media-outlets" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP ANNOUNCES WHITE HOUSE BAN AGAINST THREE MEDIA OUTLETS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It came hours after CNN, MS NOW and Politico announced they planned to file a lawsuit in response to President Donald Trump’s attempted White House ban.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes," the three outlets said in a joint statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting," the statement continued. "Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump took to Truth Social again on Monday, insisting that he was not going after the "free press."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump posted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Past efforts by the Trump administration to ban outlets and individual journalists have been blocked by federal judges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;This is a developing story; check back for updates.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Rising WNBA star Olivia Miles eclipses Caitlin Clark's rookie scoring record</title>
            <description>The No 2 overall pick scored 21 points to reach 790 on the season, surpassing Clark's 769 in the same number of games</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;When it comes to the WNBA Draft, the &lt;a href="/category/sports/wnba/minnesota-lynx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Minnesota Lynx&lt;/a&gt; have shown over the years the front office knows how to pick the right players to fill out their roster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Olivia Miles was the right selection for the Lynx this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minnesota selected the New Jersey native with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft this past spring and she quickly turned into a rising star on the floor. On Sunday, in the Lynx’s 101-89 victory over the Connecticut Sun, Miles set the rookie scoring mark once held by Caitlin Clark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miles scored 21 points to eclipse the Indiana Fever star’s mark initially set in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It’s special, but it means we’re more so working well as a team. I have great teammates around me, great vets who allow me to be me out there," Miles said after the game. "It wouldn’t be possible without one, a coach that believes in you and then two, having teammates that have my back. So it’s really special to obviously be able to accomplish that with such a great team and on a win as well."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miles has 790 points this season in 40 games. Though the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/wnba-expands-regular-season-50-games-starting-2027-longest-schedule-league-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;WNBA expanded the schedule&lt;/a&gt; going into 2026, Miles and Clark both set the marks in 40 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/caitlin-clark-returns-fiba-title-kelsey-mitchell-sets-wnba-scoring-mark-fever-victory-tempo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Clark had 769 points&lt;/a&gt; in her first season with the Fever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former TCU Horned Frogs standout eclipsed other rookie records held by Clark this season. She nailed eight 3-pointers in a win over the Golden State Valkyries in June, setting the record for the most 3-pointers by a rookie in a game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miles is also the fastest rookie to reach 350 points, 100 rebounds and 100 assists in her career. She did it in 21 games, one faster than Clark and former Chicago Sting guard Andrea Stinson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE FOX NEWS APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Minnesota is 32-10 on the year and is one game up on the Valkyries for first place in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Associated Press contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Critics pounce as prominent Dem senator seems to make admission about party's far-left ‘fringe'</title>
            <description>Cory Booker's dismissal of Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed came days after a 'warm' meeting in DC</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Sen. Cory Booker’s response to a question about Abdul El-Sayed’s election campaign in Michigan has some online observers questioning whether the Democratic Party’s elected officials are behind the socialist-adjacent candidate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Democrat from New Jersey joined Kristen Welker on ABC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, when he was asked a wide variety of policy questions along with a question about &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;President Donald Trump's announcement&lt;/a&gt; that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds. But the question about El-Sayed stole the show.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Senator, you see there in our polls that socialism is viewed even more negatively than the 'MAGA movement,'" Welker began. "President Trump is trying to paint progressives, and frankly all Democrats, as socialists, and we're seeing one of the big battles play out for progressivism in Michigan right now with Abdul El-Sayed... do you think Democrats are drawing a firm enough line between themselves and socialism?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/michigan-senate-candidate-endorsed-aoc-bernie-sanders-insists-hes-not-socialist" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ENDORSED BY AOC AND BERNIE SANDERS INSISTS HE'S NOT A SOCIALIST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Again, this is really what the Republicans want to do — focus on a few fringe people," Booker replied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He then diverted away from discussing the party establishment's fracture with &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/carville-warns-democrats-may-need-block-far-left-candidates-from-joining-caucus-moderate-group-disagrees" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;far-left candidates&lt;/a&gt; and pivoted to attacking Trump's economic and foreign policies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I serve in the United States Senate and I could go through my colleagues, left and right," Booker said. "What we want right now is to end these reckless tariffs and drive down prices, to end this war to drive down prices, to give a tax plan for this country that puts more money in working peoples' pockets and ends the giveaways to the wealthiest of Americans."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Political observers on X quickly seized on the response, claiming that Booker is too late in the push to try and distinguish the Democratic Party from its far-left fringe and the rise in socialist candidates in this year's midterm elections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Oops," radio show host Jason Rantz &lt;a href="https://x.com/jasonrantz/status/2101711251038720137" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt; simply of Booker's comments to Welker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A day late and a dollar short," said Trump Media &amp; Technology Group communications adviser Katie Zacharia. "Senator Booker is trying to disassociate as the 'Big Tent' burns."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She added that the senator should have condemned socialism outright, claiming the "Dem party [is] in disarray."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/see-it-dem-senators-rally-behind-el-sayed-duck-questions-progressive-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEE IT: DEM SENATORS RALLY BEHIND EL-SAYED BUT DUCK QUESTIONS ON PROGRESSIVE AGENDA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I really wonder what the internals they showed those senators in DC said," &lt;a href="https://x.com/CarlPaulus/status/2101722166601351631" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;said&lt;/a&gt; author Carl Paulus, speculating that polling within the Democratic Party could suggest that the far left is dragging them down and causing sitting lawmakers to change their tune with just weeks until November's election.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Booker was one of several senators who met with El-Sayed during a trip to Washington, D.C., last week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the meeting, led by Senate Minority Leader &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/schumer-dodges-question-whether-dsa-belongs-democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Chuck Schumer&lt;/a&gt;, D-N.Y., El-Sayed's campaign described the gathering as "warm."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We’re united in the fact that we have to win Michigan. Whatever our difference is, our agreement on the importance of winning Michigan to take back the Senate majority [is] overwhelming," El-Sayed told MS NOW of the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We had a warm meeting, good conversation, and I know that we left that conversation committed to doing what we need to do to take on different perspectives. And I also know that the things that bring us together are so much bigger than any of the disagreements that we have."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ӣƵ Digital reached out to Booker's office and the El-Sayed campaign but did not hear back at time of publication.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Social media erupts over Hasan Piker post targeting Brandon Gill's wife</title>
            <description>Gill called Piker the 'poster child' for ending birth tourism, prompting a response from the left-wing streamer</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/hasan-piker" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Hasan Piker&lt;/a&gt; is facing a barrage of criticism online after targeting the wife of Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, in a brief but pointed post on X over the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gill first went after Piker over an interview with Axios where the left-wing provocateur declared the U.S. was worse than al Qaeda in terms of terror committed around the world. He posted on X in response to Piker, "Hasan Piker is the poster child for why we need to end birth tourism. He was born in America to Turkish nationals, was raised back in Turkey to hate western civilization, and now spends his time working to make America weaker and our enemies stronger."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Piker then shot back, "your wife is indian."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/radical-el-sayed-ally-doubles-down-anti-american-rhetoric-stunning-terrorist-comparison" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RADICAL EL-SAYED ALLY DOUBLES DOWN ON ANTI-AMERICAN RHETORIC WITH STUNNING TERRORIST COMPARISON&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gill's father-in-law, right-wing filmmaker &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/hasan-piker-torched-playbook-dodge-past-controversies-crazy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Dinesh D'Souza&lt;/a&gt;, was among those who responded to Piker on X: "She’s Christian, born in America and her mom is white. Care to show us a picture of your family?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/controversies" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;congressman himself also responded&lt;/a&gt; to Piker, "My wife is an American, born in America to American citizens. She deeply loves our nation and its culture. You, on the other hand, were born to foreign invaders and want to turn America into the third world culture you were raised in, while advocating for communism at your $3 million mansion in between electrocuting your dog."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/hasan-piker-calls-bin-laden-spoiled-brat-labels-911-blowback-axios-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HASAN PIKER CALLS BIN LADEN A ‘SPOILED BRAT,’ LABELS 9/11 ‘BLOWBACK’ IN AXIOS INTERVIEW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gill's colleagues also joined in piling on Piker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Wrong. She’s a patriotic American, and you’re a terrorist (sympathizer) who hates this country and wants to destroy it. See the difference?" Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., wrote online.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/university-event-hasan-piker-texas-draws-backlash-both-sides-aisle" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UNIVERSITY EVENT WITH HASAN PIKER IN TEXAS DRAWS BACKLASH FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another commenter wrote, "i don't know why Hasan is being racist all of the sudden but okay."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internet Accountability Project attorney Will Chamberlain said of Gill's wife, "she’s an American patriot, while you are a Turkish adversary."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump ally Alex Bruesewitz wrote, "You don’t get it and you never will."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others, however, lashed out at Piker's detractors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., wrote on X in response to D'Souza, "Imagine having to say 'her mom is white' for street cred[.] The self hating MAGA thing is so weird."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>JJ Spaun uses Presidents Cup snub as fuel to win BMW PGA, Jacob Bridgeman stays hot in first fall series event</title>
            <description>Spaun fired a final-round 67 at Wentworth to beat Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott by two shots</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The shortest offseason in professional sports came to a close this past week as the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/golf/pga-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;PGA Tour&lt;/a&gt; kicked off its FedEx Cup Fall series with the Biltmore Championship after a three-week hiatus. Three weeks too long, if you ask me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across the pond, the DP World Tour produced a loaded leaderboard in one of its flagship events at the BMW PGA Championship, and the two players who ultimately raised hardware at the respective stops have ties to the U.S. Presidents Cup team, albeit in completely opposite capacities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Presidents Cup will get underway from Medinah Country Club in Illinois on Thursday, and while the event that has been completely dominated by the Americans since its inception in 1994 undoubtedly lacks juice compared to the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/golf/ryder-cup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Ryder Cup&lt;/a&gt;, this year's go-around &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; provide a glimpse into what the future may hold.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Welcome back to Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you need to know.

Instead, U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker went in a different direction, using four of his six picks to select players who finished below Spaun in the standings. Ben Griffin, who finished eighth in points, was also passed over by Snedeker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/chris-gotterup-celebrates-team-usa-presidents-cup-selection-epic-pro-america-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHRIS GOTTERUP CELEBRATES TEAM USA PRESIDENTS CUP SELECTION WITH EPIC PRO-AMERICA VIDEO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spaun won the Valero Texas Open back in April and picked up three more Top 10 finishes on Tour in 2026, but also stumbled towards the end of the season and actually withdrew from the Tour Championship, citing a shoulder injury.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The circumstances, understandably so, led Snedeker to go in a different direction with his captain's picks, but after the 36-year-old's performance at the BMW PGA Championship, Snedeker may be wishing he had selected the former U.S. Open champion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spaun fired a final-round 67 at Wentworth on Sunday to earn a two-shot victory, and bested the likes of Aaron Rai, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/rory-mcilroy-admits-not-interested-playing-most-pga-tour-events-moving-forward" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Rory McIlroy&lt;/a&gt;, Adam Scott, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Ryan Fox, who all finished within three shots of the lead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was an impressive but also surprising performance from Spaun, who had just one Top 20 finish to his name dating back to mid-June. He was quick to admit after his Sunday performance that he was out there playing with a bit of extra motivation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I played with a huge chip on my shoulder; I definitely had something to prove this week," Spaun explained. "Everything happens for a reason. I'm so delighted to be here and even just play this event; I've always wanted to play for the longest of times. The extra motivation, I think that is the will power that you have, the determination is a strong factor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Being left off the Presidents Cup team a couple of weeks ago was very disappointing and I wanted to prove that I deserved to be on that team and I took care of my business this week."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Americans should handle the International side at Medinah this week as the overwhelming favorites, but if &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/brandt-snedeker-right-shut-down-outside-demand-younger-presidents-cup-picks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Snedeker's captain's picks&lt;/a&gt; do go out and struggle, the discourse about Spaun deserving to be among the 12-man team will ramp up in a hurry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Jacob Bridgeman rolls into Medinah in serious form&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While arguments can now easily be made that Spaun should have been a captain's pick, one player everyone can agree on that he couldn't possibly be swapped out for is Jacob Bridgeman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 26-year-old finished 12th in the U.S. team standings before having his name called by Snedeker, which is a decision nobody can fault after Bridgeman secured his second win of the year at the Biltmore Championship on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former Clemson standout has been among the most consistent players on Tour in 2026 with a total of 12 Top 25s, and just one missed cut in his 24 starts. He did not make any sort of noise in any of the four major championships, but should roll into the Presidents Cup oozing confidence with his victory piggybacking off of a ninth at the BMW Championship and a T-4 at the Tour Championship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson Koivun could garner more attention than any other player teeing it up in the Presidents Cup this week, including World No. 1 &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/scottie-scheffler-celebrates-fedex-cup-title-rare-beer-warm-praise-brandel-chamblee" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Scottie Scheffler&lt;/a&gt;, and that's fair as a 21-year-old rookie, but Bridgeman deserves eyeballs as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He's suddenly the 20th-ranked player on Earth and is among the best putters in the game, and is actually ranked first on Tour in strokes gained: putting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridgeman isn't necessarily going to wow you, but he very well could be a leader in that 'next group of guys' who could be a staple representing the red, white, and blue in years to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Medinah is a huge opportunity, not only for him to showcase his game on a team stage in incredibly unique circumstances, but also a chance for him to show some personality, which is something no American golf fan would be disappointed by.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Omar's new legislation targeting ICE sparks outrage when the internet sees what's in it: 'Un-American'</title>
            <description>The bill would send ICE and Border Patrol money from Trump's Big Beautiful Bill toward local recovery efforts nationwide</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Conservatives are pushing back after &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Rep. Ilhan Omar.&lt;/a&gt; D-Minn., introduced legislation that would redirect over $100 billion in funds previously allocated to immigration enforcement and "invest it into communities across the country that have been impacted by the Department of Homeland Security’s heinous operations."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Omar explained in a &lt;a href="https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-ilhan-omar-introduces-legislation-redirect-ice-and-cbp-funding" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;press release&lt;/a&gt; Thursday that her Make ICE Pay Act is a response to "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota and that it would send nearly $140 billion of ICE and Border Patrol funding from Trump’s signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act toward "local recovery efforts" from immigration enforcement that has taken place across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Omar says the funding will be used by local jurisdictions to provide economic relief and distribute money through the states to nonprofits, small businesses and other impacted entities to support &lt;a href="/category/us/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;schools,&lt;/a&gt; healthcare and psychological services, increased local-government expenses, investigations and memorialization efforts. The program would be administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, overseen by its inspector general and expire three years after its creation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"ICE has been tearing through our nation, devastating our neighborhoods, our cities, and our businesses," Omar &lt;a href="https://x.com/Ilhan/status/2100633555365716282?s=20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;posted on X&lt;/a&gt; about the legislation. "Our communities deserve accountability. My Make ICE Pay Act will redirect ICE's $140 billion budget to the communities they've hurt the most."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/minnesotas-anti-ice-aid-fund-becomes-latest-casualty-states-embarrassing-fraud-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MINNESOTA'S ANTI-ICE AID FUND BECOMES LATEST CASUALTY OF STATE'S EMBARRASSING FRAUD PROBLEM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the bill’s future is bleak as long as Republicans control Congress and the White House, it was quickly blasted by conservatives as emblematic of an ideology that places more of an emphasis on protecting &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/illegal-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;illegal immigrants&lt;/a&gt; than it does enforcing immigration law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This bill is un-American," Sen.

"This bill defunds law enforcement and gives their funding to the communities harboring criminal illegal aliens.

Omar has repeatedly denied the allegation, and the claim has not been proven in public records. In December, she dismissed the claims as "bigoted lies," writing on social media that Trump was obsessed with her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;ӣƵ Digital's Max Bacall contributed to this report&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, dead at 27</title>
            <description>Sister Kaia Gerber recently spoke to Vogue about her brother's 'decade-long struggle with drug addiction'</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Presley Gerber, the son of &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/cindy-crawford" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;supermodel Cindy Crawford&lt;/a&gt; and businessman Rande Gerber, has died. He was 27.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presley's death was confirmed by Cindy’s representative to ӣƵ Digital, sharing a statement from the family: "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to online records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Gerber died Sunday at a rehabilitation facility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/09/20/presley-gerber-dead/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;TMZ&lt;/a&gt; noted that an autopsy has yet to be completed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/kaia-gerber-owns-nepo-baby-status-while-questioning-other-celebrity-kids-show-me-why-you-deserve-job" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KAIA GERBER OWNS 'NEPO BABY' STATUS WHILE QUESTIONING OTHER CELEBRITY KIDS: 'SHOW ME WHY YOU DESERVE THIS JOB'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presley was the only son of Cindy and Rande Gerber and the older brother of &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/entertainment/events/babies" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;model and actress Kaia Gerber&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presley had been open about his &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/perez-hilton-under-involuntary-psych-hold-after-apparent-self-harm-livestream-source" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;mental health struggles&lt;/a&gt;, speaking publicly about them on social media and in interviews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kaia spoke about her brother's mental health and drug use to &lt;a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/kaia-gerber-homer-gere-september-cover-2026-interview" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Vogue&lt;/a&gt; in a cover story published in August 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vogue described Presley’s journey as a "decade-long struggle with drug addiction."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/kelly-osbourne-draws-line-estranged-sister-aimee-dont-want-you-my-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KELLY OSBOURNE DRAWS A LINE WITH ESTRANGED SISTER AIMEE: 'I DON'T WANT YOU IN MY LIFE'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kaia, 24, told the outlet: "When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think that’s also why I started to self-identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help. Because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing," she added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"My parents, for most of our lives, were very, very private and didn’t share anything — and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’ There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them," Kaia told Vogue, referring to Presley's openness on social media about his mental health and drug use struggles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/cara-delevingne-admits-used-party-drug-ghb-daily-terrifying-seizures-forced-sober" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CARA DELEVINGNE ADMITS SHE USED PARTY DRUG GHB DAILY BEFORE TERRIFYING SEIZURES FORCED HER SOBER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In December 2025, Presley shared an Instagram video — which he later deleted — speaking out about taking medications including Xanax, Valium and buprenorphine while discussing his panic attacks and recovery, according to &lt;a href="https://people.com/kaia-gerber-makes-rare-comment-on-brother-presley-drug-use-12056944" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;People magazine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of loss in many different forms recently, so that is not an excuse, but it’s the reason why I am where I’m at now," the outlet reported, noting that he said he wanted to reach "people in many ways."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A. So you feel like you’re not alone, because that is how I feel most of the time and I have a feeling that if I saw all of this, a lot of people will at least know that there’s someone else going through it. And the second thing is, hopefully I find some people out here and are willing to help or know someone that could help," he said, via People.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also appeared on a &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcYTSTPpK7s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;Studio 22&lt;/a&gt; podcast in February 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/baywatch-hawaii-star-brandy-ledford-wanted-truly-check-out-rehab-saved-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'BAYWATCH: HAWAII' STAR BRANDY LEDFORD SAYS SHE 'WANTED TO TRULY CHECK OUT' BEFORE REHAB SAVED HER LIFE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s alI I need to do."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2019, Presley was &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/britney-spears-formally-charged-dui" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;charged with a DUI&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/hilary-duff-nikki-glaser-lead-daring-fashion-american-music-awards-red-carpet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HILARY DUFF, NIKKI GLASER LEAD DARING FASHION ON THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS RED CARPET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/hollywood-stars-who-died-2026-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2026: PHOTOS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He signed with IMG Models at age 15 and later walked the runway for several designer houses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presley made his runway debut at Moschino's show in Los Angeles in 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also starred in a campaign for Calvin Klein and a fragrance ad for Celine, as well as appearing in Dolce &amp; Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger shows.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer says King Charles 'gaslit' him over memoir claims</title>
            <description>Spencer stood by his account that the king said 'we'll forget her soon enough' about Diana after her death</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Princess Diana's brother, Earl Charles Spencer, fired back at Buckingham Palace after the royal household questioned his recollection of a conversation with &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/king-charles-responds-charles-spencer-claims-princess-diana-rare-statement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;King Charles&lt;/a&gt; III, saying he was being "gaslit" by the monarch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier this week, The &lt;a href="https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16136479/Charles-told-Earl-Spencer-forget-Diana-soon-enough.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Daily Mail&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; published an excerpt of Spencer's upcoming memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," in which the king's former brother-in-law described having a heated conversation with Charles after Diana's death. In the excerpt, Spencer alleged that Charles said, "We’ll forget her soon enough!," regarding his ex-wife during their exchange.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buckingham Palace later responded to Spencer's claims, disputing the earl's account of the conversation and suggesting that grief may have affected his memory of events surrounding his sister's death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/king-charles-draws-line-sand-prince-harry-meghan-markle-couple-caught-off-guard-expert" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KING CHARLES DRAWS ‘LINE IN THE SAND’ WITH PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE AFTER COUPLE CAUGHT OFF GUARD: EXPERT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Spencer took issue with the palace's response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It is not every day you wake up to find you've been gaslit by the king," he said. "It was astonishingly provocative and below the belt because it was essentially trying to say I'd lied without the King being able to deny what I'd said."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I also thought it was a rather poor imitation of the ‘recollections may vary’ quote, which was a much more elegant way of putting things, but in these circumstances entirely out of place," he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The remark referenced the palace's famous "recollections may vary" statement issued after &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/prince-harry" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Prince Harry&lt;/a&gt; and Meghan Markle's explosive 2021 interview with &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/oprah-winfrey-sparks-fresh-backlash-revisits-prince-harry-meghan-markle-bombshell-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Oprah Winfrey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the excerpt, published Wednesday, Spencer described a phone call he said he had with Charles six days after Diana died in August 1997.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Prince Charles continued his stream of anger, without me interrupting. Then he stopped. I assumed the pause signaled an effort to bring himself under control, but then he unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death," Spencer alleged. "‘Rest assured,’ he hissed, ‘we’ll forget her soon enough!’"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/princess-dianas-honeymoon-letter-reveals-young-bride-playing-grown-ups-royal-family" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRINCESS DIANA'S HONEYMOON LETTER REVEALS A YOUNG BRIDE 'PLAYING WITH GROWN-UPS' IN THE ROYAL FAMILY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the excerpt, the king and the 9th Earl of Spencer disagreed over the decision to have &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/personalities/will" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Prince William&lt;/a&gt; and Harry, then 15 and 12, walk behind their mother's casket during the funeral procession.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/entertainment/king-charles-considered-queen-camilla-non-negotiable-after-princess-diana-author-claims" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;KING CHARLES CONSIDERED QUEEN CAMILLA 'NON-NEGOTIABLE' AFTER PRINCESS DIANA, AUTHOR CLAIMS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Buckingham Palace spokesperson issued a rare statement responding to Spencer's claims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss," the statement said, according to &lt;a href="https://people.com/king-charles-issues-rare-response-charles-spencers-book-claim-about-princess-diana-12124508" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;&lt;u&gt;People&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer stood by his account of the alleged conversation during an appearance on BBC One's "Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Kuenssberg pointed out that Buckingham Palace had denied his version of events, Spencer pushed back, saying, "But they haven't actually, Laura. They've sort of smudged that one, haven't they?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kuenssberg then read the palace's statement to Spencer, telling him that "the king is plainly furious."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, is he furious? Is he furious or is he embarrassed?" Spencer asked. "Because I can tell you here and now, those are exactly the words he said."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer said he remembered the conversation clearly because he had spoken so infrequently with Charles, who was then Prince of Wales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I've only ever had two calls on the line with Prince Charles at any stage of my life," Spencer said. "I was hyper alert to what he was saying and those are precisely the words that he said."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer said he repeated the alleged comment to close friends and family members immediately afterward "because it was so monstrous."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Which, Charles, are the public meant to believe?" Kuenssberg asked. "Are they to believe you or are they to believe the king, the head of state of this country who's giving the impression very forcefully that this didn't happen? Who are we to believe?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, I'm telling the truth," Spencer replied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So, the king is giving an impression to the country that's not true. Misleading people, even lying?" Kuenssberg asked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I can hardly be responsible for what Buckingham Palace says," Spencer replied. "All I can tell you is what was said and what I heard and what shocked me. What else would have made me hang up on the king that day? It was something as outrageous as that slur against Diana."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When asked whether &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/prince-harrys-rumored-diana-film-might-feel-like-another-betrayal-prince-william-rift-grows-expert" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;William and Harry&lt;/a&gt; would be upset by his account of the alleged phone call with their father, Spencer suggested his nephews were already familiar with his version of events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, I don't like to talk about what I've been speaking about to William and Harry, but this will not be a surprise to them," he said. "I will tell you that these words will not be a surprise to them."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told ӣƵ Digital, "We won’t be offering any comment."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/entertainment/princess-diana-could-survived-fatal-paris-crash-simple-choice-investigator-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Diana died&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; at age 36 after suffering injuries sustained in a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris, France. Her partner, Dodi Fayed, and the driver, Henri Paul, also died in the crash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time of her death, she and Charles had been divorced for about one year. The two married in July 1981, announced their separation in December 1992 and finalized their divorce in August 1996.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Harry wrote about the decision to have him and his brother walk behind their mother's coffin in his 2023 memoir, "Spare," saying that "several adults were aghast" and that "mummy’s brother, Uncle Charles, raised hell," and that he told the royal family, "You can’t make these boys walk behind their mother’s coffin! It’s barbaric."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spencer previously spoke about his opposition to William and Harry walking behind their mother's coffin. He told BBC Radio 4's "Today" in 2017 that he found the decision "bizarre and cruel."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It was the most horrifying half an hour of my life," he said. "It was just ghastly. And it was far worse than having to deliver a speech at the end of it. It was the worst part of the day by a considerable margin, walking behind, well, my sister’s body, with two boys who were obviously massively grieving their mother.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/category/entertainment/entertainment-quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And it was this sort of bizarre circumstance where we were told you had to look straight ahead," he continued. "But the feeling, the sort of crashing tidal wave of grief coming at you as you went down this sort of tunnel of deep emotion, it was really harrowing actually, and I still have nightmares about it now."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"&lt;a href="/category/entertainment/genres/books#&amp;_intcmp=fnc_search-results_search_main-content_search-topics_3_1_books" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Swan Song: Diana, My Sister&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;" is set to be released Sept. 22.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;ӣƵ Digital's Lori Bashian contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>'Lioness' season 3 finale reveals who orchestrated Joe's kidnapping all along</title>
            <description>Taylor Sheridan's CIA series brought back the season one target's daughter for a revenge twist that stunned Reddit fans</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;*WARNING: Spoilers below&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"&lt;a href="/outkick-culture/lioness-star-laysla-de-oliveira-reacts-explosive-rescue-episode-season-three" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lioness&lt;/a&gt;" season three is officially in the books, and it gave fans a wild surprise at the end.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Season three of Taylor Sheridan's &lt;a href="/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-lioness-season-3-action-packed-saga-loaded-violence-carnage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;hit CIA/military series&lt;/a&gt; focused heavily on the kidnapping of Joe (Zoe Saldaña) and the attempts to rescue her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/lioness-season-3-episode-7-delivers-joes-rescue-gunfight-fans-wont-stop-talking-about" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIONESS SEASON 3 EPISODE 7 DELIVERS JOE'S RESCUE IN A GUNFIGHT FANS WON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She was eventually rescued in episode seven in a brutally violent and bloody gunfight. That left one major problem unresolved:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who was the puppet master behind it all?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;"Lioness" fans react to shocking finale&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fans were led to believe throughout different parts of the season that it could be the Russians, Ukrainians or the Iranians.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The answer was revealed on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Something much more complex and rooted in the history of "Lioness."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was revealed in the final moments that &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridans-hit-ciamilitary-series-lioness-gets-official-season-release-date-paramount" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Aaliyah Amrohi&lt;/a&gt;, the daughter of the season one target, was the puppet master who orchestrated the entire operation against Joe as revenge for the killing of her father.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-attention-weapons-handling-sets-lioness-apart-military-dramas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S ATTENTION TO WEAPONS HANDLING SETS 'LIONESS' APART FROM OTHER MILITARY DRAMAS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's also clear that Aaliyah isn't going to stop, and the stage is set for the fourth and likely final season. The season finale – titled "The Unraveling" – also featured an epic &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-lioness-season-3-episode-6-leaves-fans-buzzing-airport-shootout-scene" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;restaurant shootout scene&lt;/a&gt; when Joe ordered her team to engage the man who kidnapped her. Let's just say things didn't go as planned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reactions to the season finale &lt;a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecialOpsLioness/comments/1wl9frm/lioness_s3e8_the_unraveling_episode_discussion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;poured in on Reddit&lt;/a&gt;. Check out some of the reactions from viewers below:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;As soon as the season 1 score started playing at the end, I knew who we were going to see.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm not even 10 minutes in and so pissed for Oleksa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;That was a bad call by Joe to engage. Very bad call. Should’ve elected to tail. They were in a crowded restaurant, she should’ve never said to engage.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I knew Aaliyah was behind this.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;That episode has such an eerie and suspicious feeling vibe to it very excited to see what happens next season after that ending.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aaliyah is no longer that bubbly girl. Her demeanor is full of hatred. Hopefully it won't be another 2 years before we get the next season.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;NEVER. IN. DOUBT.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;But imagine how powerful Aaliyah has become to be able to run such an operation. I am really happy that she is free.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aaliyah is one of the best female characters Taylor has ever written, in my opinion. I think it’s very symbolic that he brings her back to the fourth season, which will probably be the last. Ending a female protagonist show with a female villain is great.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Congratulations to "Bring Aaliyah Back" crowd. Your efforts were indeed rewarded haha.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I very much enjoyed the dialogue between Joe and Yurimov on the plane.  Two equals who respect but would kill the the other.  To me that was the highlight of the episode.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Whoa, still shocked. I see things come full circle.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aaliyah about to get her piece of revenge! So excited for S4!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I knew Aaliyah would be back. Just thought it would be sooner.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. Harrowing. Gonna find out soon what exactly it entails.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Thank you Taylor Sheridan for starting to bring back closure to Aaliyah’s story. So looking forward to season 4!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/zoe-saldana-shares-behind-scenes-instagram-posts-brutal-lioness-torture-scene" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ZOE SALDAÑA SHARES BEHIND THE SCENES INSTAGRAM POSTS FROM BRUTAL 'LIONESS' TORTURE SCENE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The surprising twist, which I figured out during the interrogation scene, is another example of Sheridan keeping fans on edge and always guessing what's coming next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's actually a bit surprising he managed to keep such a large reveal hidden from the public. It came shockingly close to slipping out, judging from a random Reddit post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A woman &lt;a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SpecialOpsLioness/comments/1wlvrjv/was_so_hard_to_keep_this_secret/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;shared a photo&lt;/a&gt; of herself with Stephanie Nur, the actress who plays Aaliyah, taken when the show was filming in Fort Worth after seeing her at a coffee shop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It certainly feels like the next season will be the conclusion of the show, and seeing as how so much of Cruz and Joe's arcs are tied back to the actions of season one, it makes perfect sense. While I have no idea what's coming, my guess is many characters won't make it out alive. It wouldn't make any sense if they had happy endings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It goes against everything the show has given fans through three seasons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE FOX NEWS APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have a theory on how "Lioness" will conclude?

            <description>Paul does not support President Trump's proposal to distribute $5,000 to all US adults if GOP wins House and Senate</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;With the U.S. national debt soaring above $40 trillion and the federal government engaging in massive deficit spending, Sen. &lt;a href="/category/person/rand-paul" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Rand Paul&lt;/a&gt;, R-Ky. — a fiscal hawk who says the situation is "out of control" and "both parties have failed us" — does not support President Donald Trump's proposal to dole out $5,000 to every American adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress during the midterms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The president floated the idea during a speech earlier this month at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, calling it "the Trump dividend."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Asked about the president's proposal during an interview on Thursday, Paul told ӣƵ Digital that he is not in favor of giving away "dividends when there's a deficit."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We're running $2 trillion dollars short," he said, noting that he "can't imagine giving out money when you're running a deficit."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ӣƵ Digital reached out to the &lt;a href="/category/politics/executive/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt; for comment on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/rand-paul-clashes-fellow-republican-over-ai-kill-switch-senate-grapples-terminator-fears" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RAND PAUL CLASHES WITH FELLOW REPUBLICAN OVER AI 'KILL SWITCH' AS SENATE GRAPPLES WITH 'TERMINATOR' FEARS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;America's soaring &lt;a href="/category/columns/growing-the-debt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;national debt&lt;/a&gt; has surpassed the staggering sum of $40 trillion and shows no signs of stopping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And so, the debt is very important. So it's not just important that it might bankrupt us or overwhelm us in some kinda crisis in the future," Paul said, acknowledging that as "a possibility. But every day you're being hurt by it because it's stealing the value" of people's earnings, he indicated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So it is literally out of control," Paul said. "And really both parties have failed us because both parties are afraid to tell the American public that some things they like from government would have to be reduced when we cut costs."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paul has a plan that he says would balance the budget through a series of spending cuts over five years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/gop-lawmakers-pump-brakes-trumps-5k-check-promise-where-you-getting-money" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GOP LAWMAKERS PUMP BRAKES ON TRUMP'S $5K CHECK PROMISE: 'WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THE MONEY?'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Now when I first introduced it, it was a 1% cut, or a one-penny plan, and you cut spending 1% a year for five years, and with economic growth increasing revenue, the lines cross at about five years," balancing the budget, he explained. "Well, when COVID came along, both parties frankly started passin' out money like drunken sailors and... the deficit ballooned. Now to balance the budget in five years it's called the six-penny plan cuz it takes about a 6% cut. But it still shows you that we wouldn't have to eliminate everything."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the cuts under his proposal would not apply to Social Security, they would apply to Medicare, he indicated, though he suggested it could be possible "to cut Medicare 6% without cutting any health benefits," saying that he thinks there is a lot of "waste and fraud in" the program. He also suggested that additional means testing could be used to achieve the Medicare spending cuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paul — who ran for president in 2016 but dropped out after placing fifth in the Iowa GOP presidential caucuses — is considering throwing his hat into the ring again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I'd say we're 50-50," he said. "I do think that there should be a candidate on the Republican side, at least, who believes that international trade is good for our country and good for the economy, that believes in free markets, that isn't a big believer in big government coming in and managing contracts and owning parts of countries, that isn't a believer in giving out money we don't have."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/rand-paul-says-hes-50-50-running-president-2028-thinking-about-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RAND PAUL SAYS HE'S '50-50' ON RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 2028, 'THINKING ABOUT IT'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paul said he does not "want there to be a choice of four populists running for president," noting that he wants there to be "at least one free-market candidate. I could be that, or maybe somebody else could be," he said, indicating that he will decide after the &lt;a href="/elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;midterm elections&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Sydney Thomas mocks Lane Kiffin after loss with brutal Halloween costume idea, LSU fans fight &amp; Nate's shorts</title>
            <description>The Alabama grad and Instagram star mocked Kiffin's sideline pose during LSU's loss to his former team</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Monday Screencaps and the final day of summer. Thank you to those who threw away pumpkin spice candles the minute they were lit up inside your homes as women around this country fell victim to marketing schemes from Starbucks and other global corporations who are hellbent on stealing summer from us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guys, you have less than 24 hours to stay strong. Don't give in. Yes, the temperatures across the upper Midwest will be in the 60s and low 70s today. No excuses. Finish strong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quick hitters on a Monday morning:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/food-drink/pumpkin-spice-invades-summer-americans-kickstart-fall-traditions-earlier-than-ever" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PUMPKIN SPICE INVADES SUMMER AS AMERICANS KICKSTART FALL TRADITIONS EARLIER THAN EVER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Did you see the defensive performance out of MY 2-0 Bengals? The defensive front gave up 60 rushing yards. SIXTY. Not 160. SIXTY. The defense has give up 26 total points through two games and the schedule gets very, very favorable for a very, very long stretch. This isn't just a playoff team, this team needs to be thinking No. 1 seed in the playoffs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;– Paul in Cincy is fired up:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;How bout' that defense??!! Now to go into PITTSberg and smash those cheaters!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kinsey:&lt;/strong&gt; Paul, we've got ourselves a team. Let's keep the brittle QB safe as much as possible and after that, let's go get that No. 1 seed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Let's pivot back to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/ncaa-fb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;college football&lt;/a&gt; real fast and the content that Instagram star/Bama grad Sydney Thomas dumped out on Sunday where she took a shot at Lane Kiffin. These two have a history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/lane-kiffin-daughter-disgusted-vulgar-bed-sheet-banners-accusing-sex-player" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LANE KIFFIN'S DAUGHTER DISGUSTED BY 'VULGAR' BED SHEET BANNERS ACCUSING HER OF HAVING SEX WITH A PLAYER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I'd say Lane Kiffin," Thomas revealed in 2025 when she was asked to name the craziest celebrity to hit on her. "[Kiffin] slid in with 'Roll Tide'. And he's the coach of Ole Miss," she added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now it's Thomas having some fun by revealing her 2026 Halloween costume idea, which is the pose Kiffin was seen on Saturday night as LSU was losing to his former team. Poor Lane. Even the IG models are making fun of him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/heidi-klum-officially-kicks-off-oktoberfest-annual-tapping-keg-lane-kiffin-memes-bad-highways" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEIDI KLUM OFFICIALLY KICKS OFF OKTOBERFEST WITH ANNUAL TAPPING OF THE KEG, LANE KIFFIN MEMES &amp; BAD HIGHWAYS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• I've written many times on Nate Burleson and the dangerous road to obscurity that CBS is traveling down with its Sunday NFL show. Then someone signed off on Burleson wearing this while claiming something about how he's trying to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/pga-wife-jena-sims-joins-respect-summer-fight-against-seasonal-creep-urlacher-son-stud-luck" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Respect Summer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you can make it through more than five minutes of &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/tony-romo-future-cbs-officially-question-ahead-2028-super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;"NFL Today,"&lt;/a&gt; you should be awarded a Medal of Freedom. Between Burleson and Russell Wilson, that show is a complete disaster.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/sports/matthew-stafford-josh-allen-headline-madden-nfl-27-ratings-99-club-members" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MATTHEW STAFFORD, JOSH ALLEN HEADLINE 'MADDEN NFL 27' RATINGS AS 99 CLUB MEMBERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a mess.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• Do you guys think Google will eventually rug pull us with the use of Gemini? I spent Saturday working on our dehumidifiers. Continuous flow had stopped on the unit that drains into our sump, and since I had no experience working on dehumidifiers, I did what most men do these days –– I took a photo of the inside of the unit and asked Gemini to give me directions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 10 minutes, the unit was clean and running perfectly. I didn't even need to go to YouTube. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question for you guys is this: Will Google eventually charge us for such help? How is Google making money? I fire up Gemini, pay nothing and my dehumidifier is back to normal. Are they just trying to get us hooked on the AI before coming in with membership fees? Is that the play? You tell me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;• &lt;strong&gt;Mike N. sent in a football report:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📩 &lt;strong&gt;Email:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:joe.kinsey@outkick.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;joe.kinsey@outkick.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Send photos, stories, tips, rants—whatever you've got.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📰 &lt;strong&gt;Screencaps Page:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;👉 &lt;a href="/category/outkick/outkick-culture/screencaps" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Read the latest Screencaps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;▶️ &lt;strong&gt;YouTube:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ScreencapswithJoeKinsey" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Screencaps with Joe Kinsey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Subscribe for videos, rants, and behind-the-scenes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🐦 &lt;strong&gt;Twitter/X:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/JoeKinseyexp" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;@JoeKinseyexp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tag me or drop a DM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📸 &lt;strong&gt;Instagram:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/outkickscreencaps/" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;@OutKickScreencaps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;You guys need to start tagging me on content you're seeing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📘 &lt;strong&gt;Facebook Page:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572836756561" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Screencaps on Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👥 &lt;strong&gt;Facebook Group:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/288320487358712" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Join the Screencaps Community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📬 &lt;strong&gt;Mail (Thursday Night Mowing League):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;27072 Carronade Dr, Unit A 155&lt;br&gt;Perrysburg, OH 43551&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🗞️ &lt;strong&gt;Newsletter:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;👉 &lt;a href="https://www.outkick.com/newsletters" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Subscribe here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Make sure you're opening it.

Now, I've got a foot in both camps here, because my mom's dad, Norman Schrein, graduated from Toledo in the early 1920s.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;But I'm an Aztec first, and I'm open to some kind of modest wager.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kinsey:&lt;/strong&gt; I'm game. Tell me what we're wagering or I'll ask Gemini for suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;– Mark B. on college football:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;Lots of folks upset at Ducks blowout score, but karma often wons out…&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;November 1980…Portland State 105-0 v Delaware State, with future NFL QB Neil Lomax at QB for Portland. Paybacks hurt and perhaps a $590,000 payout v Ducks isn’t worth humiliating players and fan base, but don’t think they learn well…didn’t PS lose 81-0 v Colorado previously?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Should Eric in the PnW buy a country club membership...he does love to golf&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;– MSS emails:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;A few random thoughts about the title topic.  When I was young I belonged to a private club before I bought a house and had to make a financial choice.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I wouldn’t join a club 25 miles away unless I absolutely loved the course and there were no other decent viable options.  One of the best aspects of club membership is having the ability to go there after work on a weeknight when nobody is around, using the practice facilities and then playing a few holes while dropping a second or third ball down when needed.  You’re not going to drive 25 miles for that.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Another factor to consider is that you won’t get to play with your friends as much.  If you do you’ll have to pay greens fees for the course you go to while ‘wasting’ your club membership.  Sure you can have them on your course as guests but that gets expensive and your club will limit the amount of times that any one guest can play.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I never got tired of playing the same course BTW.  Being super familiar with a course has it’s good points which offset any boredom, at least it did for me.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;– Eric P. has responded to the emails that have poured in: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thanks so much for posting my request for opinions on country clubs. It renewed the reasons I didn’t join a club ten years ago when the prices were actually reasonable. I did some math and as it turns out, for the cost of a years dues I can take 5 four + day golf trips to Torrey Pines, Pinehurst, Paiute/Vegas and Palm Springs twice when the weather is crapp. This includes airfare and hotel.  I can then also continue to play Chambers Bay and the other very nice courses during the Summer without being tied to a payment.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Definitely a first world problem, but the opinions helped me decide.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Idaho&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;– Finally this morning, we get a report from Marty in Idaho: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;It’s almost autumn so the critters are getting ready for lean times.  The first week of September was particularly active so I have my head on a swivel when I go outside and I’m usually packin’ when I go down by the river.  It gets a little tense when I’m fly fishing as I’m trying to concentrate on that while I know that something might be looking for dinner.  It’s not just the meat eaters; I walked pretty close to an elk that I probably wouldn’t have seen if I wasn’t on the lookout for predators.  We all have our burdens I guess.  My first attempt at a collage is below.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;##################&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that's it for this Monday. You guys should be dialed in for a huge week. Football is in full swing. Fall is finally here. Leaves are starting to change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's get to work.

            <title>Nike-owned Converse pulls latest shoes ad after critics accuse of sharing 'racist' and 'reckless' KKK imagery</title>
            <description>The Nike subsidiary apologized and removed the aespa singer's campaign from social media after facing backlash</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/why-buying-converse-was-one-of-nike-incs-greatest-investments" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Converse apologized&lt;/a&gt; and pulled a shoe ad last week that some claimed featured Ku Klux Klan imagery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ad, which has been removed from the Nike subsidiary's social media pages, featured K-pop singer Karina of the girl group aespa promoting the Chuck 70 X and Run Star Crush sneakers. In the ad, Karina held a pair of black high-top shoes under a star-shaped spotlight while wearing a long white skirt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several social media users asserted that Karina resembled a KKK member, with the shoes resembling a lynching victim. Critics included Rep. Troy Carter, D-La., who &lt;a href="https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carter-condemns-nike-converse-sneaker-ad-depicting-lynching" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;released a statement&lt;/a&gt; on the ad on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/outkicks-craig-carton-reveals-real-reason-nike-stock-tank-theyre-failing-miserably" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK'S CRAIG CARTON REVEALS THE REAL REASON NIKE STOCK IS IN THE TANK: 'THEY'RE FAILING MISERABLY'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Nike and Converse, what the hell were you thinking?" Carter said. "Your campaign shows what looks like a hooded Klansman, framed by what appears to be the dangling feet of a lynching victim. There is nothing creative or artistic about it. It is racist, reckless and deeply offensive."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After facing backlash, Converse eventually pulled the ad and released a statement apologizing for the campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/ted-cruz-takes-victory-lap-iconic-american-brands-stock-hits-12-year-low" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TED CRUZ TAKES VICTORY LAP AS ICONIC AMERICAN BRAND'S STOCK PLUNGES TO 12-YEAR LOW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We’re sorry. We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong. We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared. This should not have happened, and we will do better," the statement sent to &lt;a href="/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;ӣƵ Digital&lt;/a&gt; read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This latest ad backlash comes as Nike is set to be removed from the S&amp;P 100 after nearly 18 years, following its value dropping by more than $200 billion since 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Conservative critics have frequently accused Nike of embracing woke politics by &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/colin-kaepernick-dylan-mulvaney-nikes-decade-left-wing-activism-finally-caught-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;partnering with progressive figures&lt;/a&gt; like Colin Kaepernick and Dylan Mulvaney. However, Nike has faced backlash from the left as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports/nike-forgot-republicans-buy-sneakers-too-getting-booted-sp-100" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NIKE FORGOT THAT REPUBLICANS BUY SNEAKERS, TOO, AND NOW IT'S GETTING BOOTED FROM THE S&amp;P 100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In April, Nike went viral with &lt;a href="/media/nike-criticized-walking-back-boston-marathon-ad-following-pace-shaming-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;a Boston Marathon ad&lt;/a&gt; reading "Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated" which critics claimed was "pace-shaming" participants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a new comment to ӣƵ Digital, a Carter spokesperson said that the apology was not enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"An apology and the removal of the images are not enough. Nike and Converse must explain how this campaign was conceived and approved, identify those responsible, and commission an independent investigation. They must also disclose the process and establish safeguards to ensure that imagery invoking the Klan and the lynching of Black people is never approved again," Carter's office said.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>CHAD WOLF: Congress has a chance to stop China from turning your car into a Chinese spy</title>
            <description>British naval drone secretly transmitting data to Beijing is a warning about supply chain vulnerabilities</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Recent reporting about a British naval drone unknowingly sending data to &lt;a href="/category/world/world-regions/china" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;China&lt;/a&gt; offers an urgent warning to policymakers in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During a routine cybersecurity assessment, the U.K. Ministry of Defence exposed a serious breach. It found that a component in its naval drones was secretly transmitting data to China. The drone was British. The hidden vulnerability was not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/chinese-drone-monopoly-put-notice-concerns-ccp-spying-strategic-mistake" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHINESE DRONE MONOPOLY PUT ON NOTICE AMID CONCERNS OVER CCP SPYING: 'STRATEGIC MISTAKE'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be clear, this is part of &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/chinas-influence-machine-federal-records-expose-beijings-push-sway-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Beijing’s playbook&lt;/a&gt;. It uses intellectual-property theft, cyberespionage and industrial policy to become indispensable to Western supply chains and then exploits that access to collect intelligence and create vulnerabilities it can use against its adversaries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our standard response has been to restrict &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/corporate-america-china-addiction-national-security-threat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Chinese technology&lt;/a&gt; only after the risks become impossible to ignore, often spending billions of dollars to rip and replace equipment already embedded in American networks and infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/chinese-espionage-steals-600-billion-us-firms-yearly-time-government-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHINESE ESPIONAGE STEALS $600 BILLION FROM US FIRMS YEARLY. IT’S TIME FOR GOVERNMENT TO ACT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Beijing has its sights on conducting widespread espionage and sabotage in another sector – automobiles. But this time, America has the opportunity to act before it’s too late.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;China is now the world’s largest vehicle exporter, and Chinese companies are major players not only in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/auto/attributes/electric" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;electric vehicles&lt;/a&gt; but in the batteries, software, sensors and connected technologies critical to modern cars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chinese &lt;a href="/auto" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;automakers&lt;/a&gt; are using a variety of strategies to enter U.S. markets, and China’s rise as an automotive power presents an obvious challenge for American manufacturers. But as cars become more connected, China’s entry poses severe national security risks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Modern vehicles are computers on wheels, equipped with cameras, microphones, sensors, GPS systems and internet-&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/health/orthopedics/technology" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;connected hardware&lt;/a&gt;. They collect enormous amounts of data about their drivers and surroundings, while software increasingly controls critical functions including steering, braking and acceleration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/tech/karr-bluetooth-flaw-exposes-2-2m-cars-theft-risk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KARR BLUETOOTH FLAW EXPOSES 2.2M CARS TO THEFT RISK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the wrong hands, that access could provide a powerful tool for &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/foreign-enemies-have-shockingly-simple-way-track-us-troops-overseas-lawmakers-warn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;surveillance and espionage&lt;/a&gt; or potentially allow an adversary to remotely manipulate or disable vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chinese cars on American roads would represent the most direct threat. But Chinese companies don’t need to sell millions of vehicles in America to gain a foothold in the U.S. automotive ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/tech/foreign-robot-ban-targets-china-security-fears" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOREIGN ROBOT BAN TARGETS CHINA OVER SECURITY FEARS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The same risks can be embedded in American, European, Japanese or South Korean vehicles through Chinese-made batteries, software and connected components.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At scale, these technologies could offer Beijing an extraordinary intelligence picture: where Americans live and work, which roads they travel and which vehicles regularly enter military bases, ports, power plants and other sensitive facilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a crisis or conflict, the consequences could extend beyond surveillance. Vulnerabilities in technology embedded across millions of vehicles could potentially provide an adversary a means to disrupt transportation on a massive societal scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt; has an opportunity to address that threat before it manifests by passing the bipartisan Connected Vehicle Security Act, sponsored by Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno and Michigan Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin. The legislation builds on the Commerce Department’s connected-vehicle rule, which restricts vehicles, software and connectivity hardware linked to our enemies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/china-linked-hackers-infiltrated-us-government-networks-before-fbi-takedown" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHINA-LINKED HACKERS INFILTRATED US GOVERNMENT NETWORKS BEFORE FBI TAKEDOWN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commerce concluded that foreign-adversary access to these technologies could enable the collection of sensitive data and remote manipulation of vehicles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That was an important first step, but we must do more. Executive rulemaking can be reversed, but Congress has the chance to make it last. Only an act of Congress can make these national security protections permanent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/tech/chinese-hackers-target-nasa-key-us-agencies-doj-alleges" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHINESE HACKERS TARGET NASA AND KEY US AGENCIES, DOJ ALLEGES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Connected Vehicle Security Act would codify and expand the protections outlined in the Commerce Department’s rulemaking across the supply chain. Critically, it reaches beyond finished Chinese automobiles to the connected technologies inside them, including software, communications equipment and electronics integrated into batteries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Senate Commerce Committee advanced it unanimously in July. Congress should pass this legislation and send it to the president’s desk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;America has repeatedly become dependent on Chinese technology only to later discover how difficult and expensive those dependencies were to unwind.

            <title>NASCAR wives make explosive claims after husbands brawl at Bristol &amp; driver launches water bottle into scrum</title>
            <description>Hocevar landed two punches and left Blaney with a black eye as Ty Gibbs launched a water bottle into the scrum</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Monday Morning Pit-Stop is a weekly NASCAR column that runs on OutKick.com and ӣƵ Digital. If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You see? THIS is why I've always been baffled by &lt;a href="/category/auto/nascar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;NASCAR's&lt;/a&gt; decision to move the Bristol night race to September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We had, easily, the most viral moment of the racing season Saturday night, and it went directly against Ole Miss-LSU. Chase Elliott said it many years ago, and it's still true today ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;STOP COMPETING WITH FOOTBALL.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Phew. OK. I needed to get that off my chest before we dive into the biggest fight this sport has seen since Allison-Yarborough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/nascars-most-popular-driver-tiktok-girlfriend-causing-stir-doesnt-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NASCAR'S MOST POPULAR DRIVER HAS A TIKTOK GIRLFRIEND THAT'S CAUSING A STIR, AND HE DOESN'T CARE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fine. That's probably an overreaction. But hey! This Ryan Blaney-Carson Hocevar scrum still a good one!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Carson, at least. Not sure Blaney got a ton of licks in, but Lordy, he is scrappy. We'll get into it today, obviously. What else are we gonna talk about? Joey Logano winning?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joey Logano won! There. Happy? Moving on ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've also got Blaney's wife, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/nascar-race-turns-ominous-driver-delivers-chilling-warning-hooters-gianna-gets-racy-pool-hocevar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;former Hooters girl Gianna Tulio&lt;/a&gt; (Blaney), posting some explosive accusations on Instagram about Carson, another NASCAR wife chiming in, NASCAR itself seemingly not doing &lt;i&gt;anything &lt;/i&gt;about it, and Ty Gibbs launching a water bottle into the scene of the crime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That, by the way, may have been the funniest part of the whole thing. You'll see.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Four tires, a couple splashes of that Sunoco racin' fuel, and maybe a raw steak for Blaney's left eye ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'She Said WHAT?' edition — is LIVE!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Blaney hunts down Hocevar after Bristol wreck&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;No reason to wait around today ... we've had two days to marinate on it. You've all seen the fight by now. We've all seen it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know folks despise him, but very few people can make NASCAR trend on X during a college football Saturday night. Carson Hocevar did just that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/carson-hocevar-says-mom-fired-going-met-gala-winning-talladega" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;NASCAR needs a villain&lt;/a&gt;, and has NEEDED a villain for the longest time. They have one in Carson Hocevar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's dive in:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Goodness gracious. What a fight. What a scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Couple things ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hard not to give the win to Carson Hocevar here. Fair is fair, and he got in two pretty good licks before Blaney was dragged away. Not sure how Blaney allows that happen, given he was the one came over and started it all. Feels like he needed a better plan.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Guy in green was somewhat holding Blaney back. Why? Just let them fight. Seems like he did more harm than good.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Blaney breaking containment and forcing his way back to Hocevar was shocking to watch unfold. He's a scrappy little sucker. For those wondering, Hocevar has Blaney beat in just about every metric. It's probably not a fair fight, but Ryan certainly has that DOG in him. I'd love to see it play out further.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have a feeling Blaney's gonna need to put some makeup on that eye before getting to Kansas this weekend. Looks like it's gonna be a pretty decent shiner.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ty Gibbs launching a water bottle into the fight, for no reason whatsoever, was good stuff. Look at this:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amazing. What's he doing!? No clue. Everyone just hates Hocevar so much, they all wanted a little piece of the action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Side note: Gibbs finished fifth in Kyle Busch's M&amp;M's paint scheme Saturday night and led 120 laps. Well done, Ty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, here's Hocevar after what he called the first fight of his life:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Gianna Blaney stirs the pot, and I'll leave it at that for obvious reasons&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That's the first time I've ever hit anybody," Hocevar said. "It's a cool story at least, to be at Bristol of all places. "I don't know what a decent one (punch) feels like. I've never thrown one."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hocevar went on to talk about the crash that started all of this, saying he didn't intend to wreck Blaney (duh), and that perhaps the driver of the No. 12 Penske Ford wrecked himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, I don't want to pick sides here, but ... I think I might be with Carson on this one:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Man, that's a tough one. Hocevar said he was on the brakes pretty hard. I'm not sure I buy that, but I also don't know that he needed to be. It's Bristol. You just made a crossover move, and you have the line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To me, Blaney went low to try and block the run, and Hocevar's nose was already there. That's just how I see it. I don't think there was any intent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It didn't matter, though. This was the last straw for Carson. Two weeks ago it was Brad Keselowski, and Saturday night it was Ryan Blaney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hocevar, by the way, &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/nascars-most-popular-driver-tiktok-girlfriend-causing-stir-doesnt-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;told me after Daytona &lt;/a&gt;that he didn't expect to have any enemies on the track during this 10-race Chase. He said that with a straight face.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Didn't take long!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those enemies, by the way, ain't just on the track, either:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt; &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;We've got MORE layers to this &amp; Bubba weighs in&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Not surprised by #77 aggressive behavior with the criminal record he has," Blaney's wife, Gianna, said in response to NASCAR's Instagram video of the fight. "Wait I forgot most of you don't know about it because he got it paid off!! Oops *allegedly*."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well ... that's certainly a statement to make!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gianna, by the way, hasn't deleted those comments, which — again — were in response to an &lt;i&gt;official&lt;/i&gt; post from NASCAR. So, yes, NASCAR has certainly seem them, and they aren't making her take them down.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's interesting, to say the least.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By the way, Gianna wasn't the only one feeling it after Bristol. McCall Gaulding, the wife of Zane Smith, chimed in as well:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Just trying to make his fans aware on who they support," she said under her own post. When a fan pressed her for more info, Gaulding claimed "we've tried and it gets covered up."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whew. Again, some explosive claims here. Gianna says something criminal happened. McCall says it's been covered up. Neither further clarified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a couple vague, but very public posts from NASCAR wives. Neither has been taken down, which, again, says something.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for the claims ... you can find them on the internet. I will not be going into them because A) there is nothing that verifies them at all, and B) I prefer not to get sued today. Would be a terrible way to start a work week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, if Gianna, McCall, Carson — or anyone — wants to chat about them, I'm all ears. Please, go right ahead. Until then, I simply can't play the speculation game with something like this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a mortgage to pay, you know? Have you seen those interest rates!?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OK, that's it for today. Wild class. Wild race. Wish it didn't get lost on a college football Saturday night. Oh well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's Bubba Wallace reacting on the way out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See y'all at Kansas.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Shocking discovery of ancient bones turns couple's kitchen renovation into 'crime scene'</title>
            <description>Builder working on routine home project encountered spooky find</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/category/science/archaeology" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Ancient human remains&lt;/a&gt; that turned a couple's home renovation into a crime investigation have finally been laid to rest — with the homeowner recently speaking out about the ordeal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ross Sledger, 49, was at work in spring 2019 when a builder working on a kitchen addition at his home unearthed what appeared to be human bones, news agency SWNS reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The remains were formally re-interred this August during a ceremony at a church near Sledger's home in Wye, Kent, in southeastern England.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/travel/ancient-seated-skeletons-found-beneath-modern-school-site-puzzle-archaeologists" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANCIENT 'SEATED' SKELETONS UNEARTHED BENEATH MODERN SCHOOL SITE, PUZZLING ARCHAEOLOGISTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sledger said he initially thought little of &lt;a href="/travel/strange-rock-catches-scientist-eye-creek-search-leading-rare-discovery" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;the discovery&lt;/a&gt;, assuming the bones belonged to a farm animal or pet, SWNS reported. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"[The builder] said, 'I’ve found some bones,' and I said, 'Great,' thinking it was farming or pets," Sledger said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sledger said he was stunned to learn the remains could be human.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"As you can imagine, a lot of language came out of my mouth. I was thinking, 'You must be joking, this is a wind-up,' but he said, 'I’m deadly serious,'" Sledger recalled. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/travel/airbnb-guests-check-rental-find-startling-discovery-wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AIRBNB GUESTS CHECK INTO THEIR RENTAL TO FIND STARTLING DISCOVERY ON WALL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bones, later determined to be &lt;a href="/travel/archaeologists-uncover-eerie-anglo-saxon-sand-bodies-nuclear-power-station-site" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Anglo-Saxon remains&lt;/a&gt; roughly 1,000 years old, caused a stir — and a police investigation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Around 10 officers went to the home to sift through the backyard, with investigators eventually finding remains of a second body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In all, the &lt;a href="/travel/grisly-discovery-legendary-roman-emperor-reign-reveals-soldiers-remains-weapons" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;grisly discovery&lt;/a&gt; included a femur, two skulls, ribs, part of a pelvis and fragments of a humerus and finger bones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They thought it was a crime scene," Sledger said. "They had to have an officer overnight, and every half hour he had to get out of his car."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/travel/sisters-viral-video-reveal-truth-eerie-family-photo-discovered-rental-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SISTERS IN VIRAL VIDEO REVEAL TRUTH IN ‘EERIE’ FAMILY PHOTO THEY DISCOVERED AT RENTAL HOME&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That set off the neighbor's floodlights, which set off my dog barking. So as you can imagine, I didn’t get much sleep that night," he added, as SWNS noted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;About 48 hours after the &lt;a href="/travel/discovery-beneath-soccer-field-reveals-massive-medieval-convent-lost-centuries" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;initial discovery&lt;/a&gt;, specialists confirmed the remains were ancient and not related to a modern-day crime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But &lt;a href="/travel/1000-year-old-church-mystery-cracked-students-from-king-charles-alma-mater" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;the discoveries&lt;/a&gt; didn't end there. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sledger later uncovered what he described as "knuckles and fingers" while installing artificial grass in his backyard — which caused some renovation-related anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I was thinking, 'Oh no, this is going to delay it. I’ve got bricklayers next week,'" Sledger said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I was thinking, 'This could take months,' but luckily, they were done and dusted by the end of the weekend, which was good."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the police investigation ended, Sledger said the remains were transferred to a &lt;a href="/category/travel/general/museums-exhibits" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;historical society&lt;/a&gt; and eventually to a local vicar, though arranging their final resting place took time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think it was a question of getting permission and whether they would be allowed to be there," Sledger added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/category/lifestyle" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think it was a bit more red tape than anything else."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the August re-interment ceremony, the vicar chose &lt;a href="/faith-values" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;the hymn "Jerusalem,"&lt;/a&gt; which Sledger said offered a fitting tribute to the ancient remains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sledger's backyard isn't the only one in the United Kingdom to yield an unexpected piece of history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/category/lifestyle/quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another British couple made a historically valuable — though far less grim — discovery in their own backyard recently. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Hampshire couple uncovered a hoard of &lt;a href="/travel/couple-stunned-tudor-era-treasure-surfaces-garden" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;70 historic English coins&lt;/a&gt; while adjusting a fence near a flower bed in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The coins were sold at auction in November 2025 for more than £380,000, or roughly $500,000.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Saints' Tyler Shough scores go-ahead TD vs Ravens but NFL fans wonder whether the ball crossed the goal line</title>
            <description>NFL instant replay chief said officials could not prove Shough failed to break the plane on the go-ahead score</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;New Orleans Saints&lt;/a&gt; quarterback Tyler Shough continued to show massive improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 as he led the team to a 24-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shough scored the go-ahead touchdown from the 1-yard line and New Orleans’ defense locked down Baltimore’s offense to seal the win in the closing moments. But, as with most &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; games, the officiating came under fire over Shough’s touchdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Officials ruled that Shough got the ball over the goal line but replays of the touchdown led fans to wonder whether he actually did. It appeared, at some point, Shough lost the ball as he was pulled down. It also appeared a Ravens defender grabbed his facemask to bring him to the ground.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NFL world wondered how Shough’s play was ruled a touchdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An NFL executive defended the ruling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We exhausted all available angles and could not prove clear and obvious that he did not break the plane of the goal line," Mark Butterworth, NFL vice president of instant replay, told a pool reporter after the game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baltimore got the ball back with 1:28 to play but &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Lamar Jackson&lt;/a&gt; couldn’t lead the team down the field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regardless, Shough was 27-of-34 with a touchdown pass and a rushing score. He had 252 yards through the air.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's a hard play on the goal line because ... sometimes they lose sight of the football. I think it's a challenging play for everyone," Saints head coach Kellen Moore said. "Fortunate for us to get that. Obviously we're going to go for it in that situation. Chance to score a touchdown. If not, we're forcing them to be on the minus-1 and go the long way."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Saints bounced back from a close loss last week against the Detroit Lions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shough was 35-of-56 with 410 yards and three touchdown passes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE FOX NEWS APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both New Orleans and Baltimore moved to 1-1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Associated Press contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>House GOP not done with ActBlue after bombshell internal memos raise foreign cash questions</title>
            <description>Republican investigators say they expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIRST ON FOX:&lt;/strong&gt; House GOP investigators are warning that they are not done with ActBlue after a bombshell report fueled questions over whether the Democrat fundraising giant is accepting foreign cash and lying to Congress about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Whether it’s allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud. Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ActBlue is a massive platform for campaigns to raise money that's used by Rep. &lt;a href="/category/person/alexandria-ocasio-cortez" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&lt;/a&gt;, D-N.Y., Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Republican lawmakers have long accused the company of having lax verification standards for donors, something ActBlue has said it actively improved since the start of the GOP's probe. But new findings, &lt;a href="/politics/dem-fundraising-giant-actblue-accused-fraudulent-donation-cover-up-explosive-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;first reported by ӣƵ Digital&lt;/a&gt;, appear to show employees green-lighting donations despite some questions about where they came from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/far-left-politicians-still-using-actblue-88-year-old-disputes-donating-nearly-150000-fundraising-giant" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAR-LEFT POLITICIANS STILL USING ACTBLUE AS 88-YEAR-OLD DISPUTES DONATING NEARLY $150,000 TO FUNDRAISING GIANT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the company maintains it did nothing wrong and signaled in comments to ӣƵ Digital that it has no plans to return any donations raised in the report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/house-dem-lashes-out-gop-efforts-probe-foreign-donations-stunning-claim-motive" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HOUSE DEM LASHES OUT AT GOP EFFORTS TO PROBE FOREIGN DONATIONS WITH STUNNING CLAIM ON MOTIVE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., told ӣƵ Digital on Friday, "ActBlue’s own admissions raise serious questions about its fraud prevention practices, including a so-called passport verification process that did not actually verify or check entries against any government database. All options are on the table to ensure we get to the bottom of what is going on at ActBlue."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And a spokesperson for Chairman &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/jim-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Jim Jordan&lt;/a&gt;, R-Ohio, and the House Judiciary Committee confirmed to ӣƵ Digital that the panel "will continue aggressive oversight of ActBlue, including additional depositions."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All three committees have been responsible for investigating the left-wing fundraising giant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's not clear how much those depositions will yield, however. The Judiciary Committee revealed through a series of transcripts on Thursday that all 10 &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/first-fox-actblue-board-members-hot-seat-gop-probes-serious-misconduct-allegations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;ActBlue employees and board members&lt;/a&gt; who appeared for closed-door depositions invoked the Fifth Amendment to avoid answering questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That includes &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/actblue-co-founder-pleads-fifth-amendment-closed-door-house-gop-grilling" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;co-founder Matt DeBergalis&lt;/a&gt;, whose invocation was first reported by ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones similarly opted to plead the Fifth during a public hearing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The GOP report cited a letter by Wallace-Jones to Steil, which maintained that donations on the platform made by people with addresses outside the U.S. required a passport number for verification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the Republicans' report alleged that the verification "only ensures that the entered passport number contains a certain number of characters, not that it is a valid U.S. passport number," rendering it an essentially meaningless step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/texas-ag-paxton-sues-dem-fundraising-platform-actblue-alleging-fraudulent-foreign-donations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TEXAS AG PAXTON SUES DEM FUNDRAISING PLATFORM ACTBLUE, ALLEGING 'FRAUDULENT AND FOREIGN DONATIONS'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The report also included excerpts purporting to show ActBlue supervisors green-lighting donations despite "red flags," including a memo lauding a donation as a "great accept," but noting, "Donor sometimes has an IP in Hong Kong, but none of their other signals raise any eyebrows."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another communication appears to show an ActBlue supervisor maintaining that a denied contribution "should have been accepted." The rest of the memo stated, "It is a foreign contribution, but the name/email match, the IP/billing match, a full address with the correct country code, and there were previously accepted and successful contributions."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The donor uses an Arkansas state code, which isn’t great, but [the] system can be wonky with requiring state codes for foreign donors," the rest of the message stated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/actblue-sues-texas-ag-ken-paxton-alleging-political-retaliation-democrats-fundraising" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ACTBLUE SUES TEXAS AG KEN PAXTON, ALLEGING POLITICAL RETALIATION OVER DEMOCRATS' FUNDRAISING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An ActBlue supervisor also allegedly said a contribution "set off a lot of" alarms, but argued the donor should be given the "benefit of the doubt."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet another appeared to show an ActBlue employee acknowledging that a donor using a Missouri billing address had "all signs point to this person being from Canada," but that X (then Twitter) was used to confirm their identity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But despite the GOP's accusations, the report's evidence also appears to show ActBlue employees standing by the platform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An email from ActBlue employees shows they believe the company to be "the target of bad-faith political attacks at the hands of ill-intentioned operators." ActBlue also previously told the committee "there is no evidence that foreign donations through online or small-dollar contributions are a problem in U.S. elections."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The communications excerpts were included in the report and not independently verified by ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's prompted a firestorm on the right, with &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/house-of-representatives/republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;House Republicans&lt;/a&gt;' campaign arm demanding that Democrats return donations made through ActBlue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"House Democrats cannot claim ignorance while continuing to rely on a fundraising platform facing serious allegations. The [National Republican Congressional Committee] officially calls on every House Democrat to cut ties with ActBlue and return any illegal contributions funneled to their campaigns through the platform," spokesman Mike Marinella said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But when asked if ActBlue would return any donations, the company pointed ӣƵ Digital back to its statement on the House GOP report.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"There’s nothing to see here. After we released findings of a third-party forensic analysis that completely undermined a central claim that they have made against ActBlue, Republicans are refusing to move on," ActBlue said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Instead, they are orchestrating another political stunt before rushing out of town weeks early to go campaign. This coordinated campaign against ActBlue isn’t about the facts, or legislating, it’s about Republicans’ efforts to silence organizations they believe threaten their agenda."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Falcons' Drake London shouts at fan amid team's blowout loss to Panthers</title>
            <description>The Falcons have not started out the way they wanted to during the 2026 season</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/atlanta-falcons" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Atlanta Falcons&lt;/a&gt; star Drake London didn’t want to hear anything from anyone as they were getting blown out by the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The FOX broadcast caught London yelling back at a fan who was apparently shouting at him in the third quarter as the Falcons trailed 34-3.

            <description>Rising tide traps group at secluded Lost Boy Beach in Oregon, forcing rope-assisted rescue through rough surf</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Tourists went to snap an iconic photo on Oregon's Lost Boy Beach and wound up getting one taken of themselves in a storybook SOS rescue by the local fire department last week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three unnamed sea gawkers were stranded for five hours Wednesday, Sept. 16, after a rising tide cut them off from the mainland at the secluded Tillamook County cove. Having reportedly lost cell phone service at the bottom of the steep cliff, the group managed to contact 911 using an emergence satellite feature, &lt;a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/09/tourists-rescued-from-oregon-beach-after-getting-stranded-during-photo-op.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;The Oregonian reported&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Netarts-Oceanside Fire District received the call and found them stranded on the shrinking patch of beach with the tide rolling in on them, using a drone to capture footage of them spelling out a large "SOS" with sticks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/travel/11-visitors-trapped-flash-flooding-tears-iconic-national-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11 VISITORS TRAPPED AS DANGEROUS FLASH FLOODING TEARS THROUGH ICONIC NATIONAL PARK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lost Boy Beach is accessible only by scrambling over rocky terrain and passing through a sea cave that is open at both ends. While the small beach is inviting during low tide, the rising water blocks the only exit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"When people are stranded there, we may not be able to get to them," NOFD Chief Jeff McBrayer told the paper.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/helicopter-rescue-crew-caught-camera-saving-climbers-trapped-popular-california-beach-cliff" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HELICOPTER RESCUE CREW CAUGHT ON CAMERA SAVING 2 CLIMBERS TRAPPED ALONG POPULAR CALIFORNIA BEACH CLIFF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crews initially considered waiting for the tide to recede, but opted for an active rescue due to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/travel/nearly-2000-ocean-rescues-occur-dangerous-surf-slams-popular-beaches-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;rough surf&lt;/a&gt;, the presence of sneaker waves, and the fact that the tourists were already wet and cold, he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Navigating the dangerous conditions, rescuers hugged the remaining shoreline while secured to ropes instead of wading directly through the unpredictable water. Once they reached the tourists, responders provided life vests, clipped the group to the safety ropes, and guided them through the surf to a secure area where they could walk out on their own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/california-dad-paralyzed-neck-diving-ocean-rescue-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CALIFORNIA DAD PARALYZED FROM NECK DOWN AFTER DIVING INTO OCEAN TO RESCUE CHILD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The visitors emerged from the ordeal with only minor bumps and bruises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following the rescue, Chief McBrayer used the incident to remind coastal visitors of the area's &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/travel/general/travel-safety" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;deceptive dangers of exploring isolated coves&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You have to ask a local or check a tide app on a phone for tide information," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/hikers-stranded-mount-shasta-relying-ai-plan-trip-sheriff-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIKERS STRANDED ON MOUNT SHASTA AFTER RELYING ON AI TO PLAN TRIP, SHERIFF SAYS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lost Boy Beach, situated on the northern Oregon coast just south of a &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/familys-spring-break-hike-turns-life-death-rescue-parent-falls-70-feet-utah-cliff" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;towering basalt cliff&lt;/a&gt;, derives its ominous name from a century-old local legend. According to regional lore, the highly secluded spot was named after a young boy who was believed to have drowned after being trapped by the incoming tide. While it remains unverified if the tragic tale is historically accurate, the name has persisted for roughly 100 years, functioning as a built-in, enduring warning to visitors about the cove's unpredictable and deadly conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Historically, reaching this hidden stretch of sand has remained notoriously treacherous, wedged between Short Beach to the north and Tunnel Beach — sometimes known as Star Trek Beach — to the south. Unlike its neighboring Short Beach, which finally received a community-built "stairway of 100 steps" around 2000 to stop visitors from cracking their heads on a slippery cliff face, Lost Boy Beach has never featured safe overland access.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Navigating to the beach from either side is exceptionally dangerous, with access only vaguely possible during rare, extreme low-tide events that occur just a couple of times a year.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

So, if he does wrestle, then good for him. And I hope he doesn't get hurt, unfortunately. Listen, Ray Lewis is a bada--, but I mean, he's probably what 55, 60 years old. So, I don't know if it'd be a good idea for him to get on the mat with some of those studs."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lewis is 51. He was a Florida state wrestling champion before he turned his attention to football and became one of the most dominant linebackers in NFL history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Angle had a brief spell in RAF as a commentator before being let go. He said there were no hard feelings about being cut and expected RAF to become a dynamic organization akin to UFC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I got let go due to budget and I completely understood," he told OutKick Dropkick. "I wasn't the greatest at commentary and they brought me in because of my name and they wanted me to go for a year and try it out and so I did it and I really enjoyed it. But they have a great future in front of them. I mean they're going all over the world. They're traveling to different countries, doing events. They were in Russia. They're going to be in Europe, India, they're going everywhere. They're traveling like the WWE does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And the thing is wrestling in the United States is very popular, but it's even more popular overseas. So, it's not as popular in Western Europe, but Eastern Europe, Asia, India, those areas, it's very popular. So, I think they have a great future in front of them. I think they're going to do tremendously well, and they're signing not only the American wrestlers, they're signing wrestlers from all over the world. So, this is going to be something that is going to turn into a dynamo company.

            <title>If Trump wants to lower drug prices, his obvious free-riding targets are outside the US</title>
            <description>Wealthy nations like the Germany, Japan and France suppress drug prices while Americans bear most R&amp;D costs</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;President &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; just secured nine new pricing agreements with drug manufacturers that could help reduce what Americans pay for many prescription medicines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The deals demonstrate Trump's commitment to lowering drug prices for patients. The president's dedication – and his desire to negotiate with companies individually, rather than imposing broad mandates – is commendable. But his efforts would be better directed at the root cause of high drug prices: foreign countries free-riding on American drug innovation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To deliver lasting price reductions while protecting U.S. leadership in biomedical innovation, the Trump administration must focus its negotiating strategy overseas – and intensify its push to make other countries pay their fair share for the medicines America develops.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-expands-trumprx-prescription-drug-discount-program-800-medications" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP EXPANDS TRUMPRX PRESCRIPTION DRUG DISCOUNT PROGRAM TO MORE THAN 800 MEDICATIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For decades, wealthy foreign governments have used price controls, mandatory rebates, reimbursement delays and other policies to suppress what they pay for innovative medicines. These measures allow foreign countries to reap the benefits of new treatments while forcing Americans to bear a disproportionate share of the cost of developing them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;American patients currently account for roughly three-quarters of pharmaceutical profits and over half of global research and development spending – far more than America's share of the world economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If U.S. leaders want to correct this imbalance, putting more pressure on drugmakers isn't the solution. Instead, the administration must focus on getting other countries to end their free-riding practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forcing U.S. prices lower without increasing foreign countries' contributions risks harming both American patients and our broader biotech industry. Some members of &lt;a href="/category/us/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt;, for example, have proposed writing "most-favored-nation" drug pricing into law – permanently tying U.S. drug prices to the artificially low prices paid abroad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/robert-f-kennedy-jr-future-medicine-built-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ROBERT F KENNEDY JR: THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE SHOULD BE BUILT IN AMERICA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such an approach would effectively import foreign price controls into America – reducing funding for future research and development and slowing the development of new treatments. It could also threaten jobs, undermine manufacturing investment and weaken U.S. drugmakers' ability to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/china-chokehold-medicine-cabinet-national-security-threat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;compete with China&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To sustain both lower prices and continued innovation here at home, other wealthy countries will need to step up and shoulder more of the costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/3-steps-could-stop-fraud-make-healthcare-affordable-americans" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 STEPS THAT COULD STOP FRAUD AND MAKE HEALTHCARE MORE AFFORDABLE FOR ALL AMERICANS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, the Trump administration's negotiating skills offer a way to make that happen. The same hard-charging approach it has used to negotiate recent deals with manufacturers can also be applied abroad to pressure foreign governments to reform their pricing policies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="/category/world/world-regions/united-kingdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;United Kingdom&lt;/a&gt; is a clear example. Last year, Trump negotiated a deal that will require Britain to increase what it pays for new medicines by 25%. As Britain contributes more toward developing new medicines, the cost burden on the United States will decrease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/mark-cuban-shoots-presidential-bid-teams-trump-admin-cut-healthcare-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MARK CUBAN SHOOTS DOWN PRESIDENTIAL BID AS HE TEAMS UP WITH TRUMP ADMIN TO CUT HEALTHCARE COSTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The administration is also laying the groundwork for a similar &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-allies-push-arm-president-new-tariff-weapon-punish-countries-ripping-off-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;agreement with Germany&lt;/a&gt;. In June, it launched a formal investigation into how Germany's drug price controls have harmed American commerce. This investigation will give American trade officials the leverage they need to negotiate fairer pricing policies and practices with German policymakers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next step should be to apply this strategy to other wealthy nations. Countries like Japan, France and Switzerland use tactics similar to Germany's to pay far less than fair value for new drugs. In Japan, for example, roughly half of newly launched medicines are subject to annual price cuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/opinion/innovation-key-america-staying-superpower-missing-essential-piece" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INNOVATION IS KEY TO AMERICA STAYING A SUPERPOWER. BUT IT IS MISSING AN ESSENTIAL PIECE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to one analysis, if other developed countries all paid U.S. prices for new prescription drugs, global pharmaceutical revenue would rise by more than $254 billion. That would provide a major influx of revenue for American drug innovators – potentially fueling a research and development boom that would create jobs across the country while delivering more and cheaper lifesaving treatments for patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump has shown he's committed to bringing drug prices down – and that his administration has the negotiating skill and leverage needed to extract real concessions from foreign freeloaders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By refocusing its negotiating efforts on America's trading partners and pushing them to pay their fair share for pharmaceutical innovation, the Trump administration can help lower prices for American patients while preserving U.S. biopharma leadership.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Fitness expert reveals 6 things people over 35 should do after workouts to stay strong</title>
            <description>Sleep, heat therapy, stretching, protein and rest are among the keys to preserving strength as muscles age</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The most important part of a workout may happen after it ends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As adults age, muscles can become less responsive to protein and other muscle-building signals, making &lt;a href="/category/health/nutrition-and-fitness/fitness" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;post-exercise recovery&lt;/a&gt; critical for repairing tissue and preserving strength.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jacob Zemer, a New York-based fitness coach, focuses heavily on recovery with his clients, who primarily range from 35 to 55 years old.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/one-muscle-protein-may-hold-key-staying-stronger-you-age-study-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONE MUSCLE PROTEIN MAY HOLD THE KEY TO STAYING STRONGER AS YOU AGE, STUDY FINDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Most of my clients are really &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/longevity-doctor-reveals-what-matters-most-aging-well-beyond-pricey-biohacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;focused on longevity&lt;/a&gt;," he told ӣƵ Digital. "They're not people who are looking to be bodybuilders or power lifters – they want to age well."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zemer shared the following six ways adults over 35 can recover more effectively after exercise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 1: Get enough quality sleep&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Getting seven to nine hours of quality sleep is vital," Zemer told ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/common-bedroom-mistake-quietly-taking-toll-your-health-experts-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COMMON BEDROOM MISTAKE COULD BE QUIETLY TAKING A TOLL ON YOUR HEALTH, EXPERTS SAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He suggested the following steps to support deeper, more &lt;a href="/category/health/sleep-disorders" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;restorative sleep&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stop eating a couple of hours before bedtime, which will "dramatically reduce your resting heart rate."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adhere to a set bedtime every night.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Discontinue any &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/too-much-screen-time-may-trigger-lasting-brain-delays-health-official-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;screen use&lt;/a&gt; a couple of hours prior to bedtime.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try not to have stressful conversations close to bedtime.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a hot shower – this will raise the body’s core temperature, which then drops afterward and may help promote sleep.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep the bedroom temperature between 60 and 65 degrees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make the bedroom as dark as possible.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 2: Get regular bloodwork&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Getting &lt;a href="/category/health/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;regular checkups&lt;/a&gt; and completing recommended lab work can also help identify issues that may interfere with recovery, according to Zemer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Make sure you’re keeping up with what's going on with your hormones," he advised. "Make sure everything in your body is functioning properly, because as we age, our bodies change."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/3-common-factors-secretly-speeding-aging-process-expert-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 COMMON FACTORS MAY BE SECRETLY SPEEDING UP THE AGING PROCESS, EXPERT SAYS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experts emphasize, however, that preventive testing should be personalized based on factors such as age, gender, symptoms and medical history.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for conditions including &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/health/heart-health/high-blood-pressure" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;high blood pressure&lt;/a&gt;, prediabetes/type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 3: Use warmth to support recovery&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/red-light-therapy-cold-plunges-really-work-doctor-reveals-truth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Heat exposure&lt;/a&gt; may be another way to support muscle strength and recovery after exercise, Zemer suggested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Warmth causes blood vessels to widen, increasing circulation to tired muscles and potentially helping to deliver nutrients involved in repair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A 2025 review of 22 studies found that nearly half of participants reported improved muscle-function recovery with heat therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If you don't have access to a sauna, taking a hot shower after your workout releases heat proteins that may help with recovery – and actually it helps improve what we call ‘gains’ from the gym," the trainer told ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 4: Stretch&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"After you get done working out, your muscles are shortened," Zemer said. "And so you want to re-lengthen them by stretching."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href="/category/health/nutrition-and-fitness/fitness" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;strength training&lt;/a&gt; can put significant wear and tear on the body, it’s important to maintain full mobility by moving through a complete range of motion and stretching afterward, according to the expert.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 5: Fuel and hydrate&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Getting adequate protein after a workout to aid in muscle repair and rebuilding, Zemer emphasized.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends targeting about 20 to 40 grams of high-quality protein after training. For active adults, the general guideline is roughly 1.4 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/health" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Protein needs should be individualized, however, particularly for people with certain &lt;a href="/health" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;medical conditions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hydration is also important prior to working out, Zemer added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If you don't drink enough water, you're really setting yourself up for failure when you're in the session, which is going to cause you to have lackluster results," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;No. 6: Give your body time to de-stress&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You just did something that, even if it’s healthy and has a positive impact on your body, still stresses your body," Zemer said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Your cortisol’s high. So getting a &lt;a href="/category/health/nutrition-and-fitness/nutrition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;good meal&lt;/a&gt; and a little bit of rest before you move on with your day" can help the body recover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The goal is to give the &lt;a href="/category/health/nervous-system-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;nervous system&lt;/a&gt; and muscles the resources they need to recover.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A 2026 review described exercise as a cycle of "stress response, adaptation and recovery," noting that the benefits of workouts depend on sufficient recovery time, sleep and energy availability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The difference between ‘good sore’ and ‘bad sore’&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While it’s normal and generally a good thing to feel sore after exercise, Zemer said there’s a fine line between "good" and "bad" soreness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The soreness should be only for a short period of time, like maybe a day or so after you're done training," he told ӣƵ Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If it takes you a full week to recover, you simply trained too hard."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zemer noted that the body adapts to training gradually, so people should ease into a new &lt;a href="/category/fitness-and-wellbeing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;fitness routine&lt;/a&gt; rather than pushing too hard too soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If you have extended amounts of soreness that exceed two or three days, you did too much," he said. "If your knees and joints ache, you did too much."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That doesn’t mean it’s necessary to stop working out, however.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/category/lifestyle/quizzes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It just means maybe drop back what you did by 30% and start from there," Zemer advised. "For example, if you did six sets of legs, try instead to do four sets of legs the next time you train. That's going to make it far more effective for your recovery."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most important thing to recognize, according to the trainer, is that exercise-induced endorphins can temporarily &lt;a href="/category/health/pain-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;mask pain&lt;/a&gt;. Discomfort that seems manageable during a workout may feel worse later, once those chemicals wear off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If something hurts in the gym when you have your endorphins going strong, it's going to hurt really bad later – and that's the last thing you want, because if you're hurt, you're not going to be able to train consistently."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>NFL's dumbest moment of Week 2 goes to Jets coach Aaron Glenn who played not to lose at end of regulation</title>
            <description>Glenn's clock management in the final 50 seconds of regulation draws sharp criticism after New York's 20-17 overtime defeat</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, the dumbest play of the week in the NFL is not actually a play at all but a play-call or decision by a coach. We're looking at you, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/aaron-glenn-jets-bet-geno-smith-frank-reich-escape-afc-east-basement-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Aaron Glenn&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;New York Jets&lt;/a&gt; coach, in his second season with the Jets making all the decisions, has been a study in inconsistency with his clock management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And he was downright worthy of hard questioning on Sunday after a 20-17 overtime loss to the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/green-bay-packers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Green Bay Packers&lt;/a&gt; – because maybe this game didn't need to go to overtime at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/stefon-diggs-guilty-nfl-dumbest-move-week-1-may-have-decided-commanders-loss-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STEFON DIGGS GUILTY OF NFL'S DUMBEST MOVE OF WEEK 1 AND IT MAY HAVE DECIDED COMMANDERS LOSS TO EAGLES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Glenn curiously decided it would.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the fourth quarter, you see, the Packers had the ball and the Jets limited them to a 5-yard completion on third-and-10. So the Packers faced a fourth-down play with about 50 seconds left to play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glenn could have immediately called time out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He could have immediately forced the Packers to punt on fourth down from midfield and given his offense one final opportunity in regulation to perhaps run three or four plays, get in field goal range, and pull out a win.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Glenn had timeouts. But he didn't use them. He apparently didn't even think of using them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I didn't," Glenn admitted after the game. "I didn't consider using that. I know exactly what you're talking about. No, I didn't think of using the timeout at that point at all."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fair enough. If we're giving Glenn the benefit of the doubt, we have to believe he probably thought it all through and made an informed decision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But informed decisions come with reasoning. So what was Glenn's reasoning for not using time-outs that would have given his offense a chance?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Man, I want to go back and really look at it, you know, to be honest with you," Glenn said. "I think they were in a situation where they were trying a no-brainer, and they took the no-brainer, or they took the penalty on that."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Packers did indeed praise Jesus that Glenn didn't call time out, so they did the no-brainer thing and sat on the ball and took a delay of game penalty. The 10-second runoff on the penalty left only two seconds on the clock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the Packers, intent on launching a Hail Mary on fourth down, suffered a &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/sports/jordan-love-says-shocked-josh-jacobs-arrest-domestic-violence-charges-otas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Jordan Love sack&lt;/a&gt; instead, to end regulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, again, if Glenn had called that timeout immediately after the third-down play, the Jets might have had maybe those 50 seconds to force Green Bay to punt and give their offense a chance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Yeah, and if they would have punted it, that would put us in a backed-up situation," Glenn argued. "They could have punted the ball and put us in a backed-up situation right there. So that was the reason why."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is not the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Glenn had forced the issue, he actually has no clue what might have happened next. The punter might have dropped the snap. The punt might have gotten blocked. His punt returner, challenged as he's been with holding on to the ball, might have contributed a dynamic return.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But instead, Glenn made certain his offense would have no final opportunity to win the game in regulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Jets fans and the media covering the team, being the understanding and patient people they are, obviously excused Glenn's strategy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, wait—no, they didn't.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This debacle falls on Aaron Glenn," the attention-grabbing part of a New York Post headline blared.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fans also took to social media and roasted Glenn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Playing not to lose," one said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"AG should not be a head coach IMHO," another offered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Banking TO that can't ever be recovered," another said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Even if they pin you, you still have the ball and a T.O. and a chance. Crazy."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All of these are accurate and show how dumb Glenn's end-of-game decision actually was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://x.com/ArmandoSalguero" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOLLOW ARMANDO SALGUERO ON X: @ARMANDOSALGUERO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>NFL Week 2 Sunday takeaways: Packers are Jekyll and Hyde, Bengals have a defense, Chargers' season is over</title>
            <description>The Bears QB was carted off against the Vikings while Cincinnati forced four turnovers to stifle the Texans</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;One week of &lt;a href="/category/sports/nfl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; football gives fans and the media something to talk about. Two weeks gives them just enough information to start believing that they might actually know something (they still don't, and that includes me).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Week 2 offered the first chance to see which opening-week performances were meaningful and which were complete mirages. Although, thanks to confirmation bias, nothing that happened probably changed anyone's opinion (including mine).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below, you will find my biggest takeaway from each game on the Week 2 Sunday slate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Panthers 34, Falcons 3&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: Don't sleep on the Panthers offense.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carolina gave up 59 points to Chicago in Week 1, which overshadowed a solid offensive performance of their own. The Panthers scored 37 points and gained 478 yards of offense against the Bears. Of course, the defensive no-show made it all for naught. But after another 30+ point performance, suddenly it looks like Bryce Young's step forward in 2025 wasn't a fluke and he might be taking another step in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick/atlanta-falcons-dealing-worst-quarterback-situation-nfl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ATLANTA FALCONS ARE DEALING WITH THE WORST QUARTERBACK SITUATION IN THE NFL AND IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Saints 24, Ravens 17&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Saints are a really fun team to watch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, New Orleans nearly pulled off a massive upset of the Detroit Lions but fell just short. This week, they didn't let the opportunity slip away. More importantly, at least for general NFL fans, this team is fun. Tyler Shough, coming off a fan-voted Rookie of the Year season, doesn't look like a one-hit wonder. If Chris Olave can stay healthy, Saints-Panthers might be must-watch TV and that's not something I ever thought I'd type.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Vikings 9, Bears 3&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: What a difference a week makes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A week ago, pundits were declaring that the 2026 Chicago Bears offense might be one of the greatest of all time. That was.. premature. Now, there's nothing more important than the health of quarterback Caleb Williams, who &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/bears-quarterback-caleb-williams-carted-off-soldier-field-apparent-hamstring-strain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;was carted off the field&lt;/a&gt; in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury. But Chicago didn't look great even when Williams was in the game. Weather was a factor, of course, but the two teams that scored 98 points combined in Week 1 only mustered 12 in Week 2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Bengals 20, Texans 6&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: If the Bengals can win games like this, the rest of the NFL is in trouble.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Joe Burrow era, the Bengals have basically relied on their star quarterback to help them outscore opponents. This game was the opposite. In fact, Houston outgained Cincinnati by over 100 yards and had 10 more first downs. But the Bengals defense kept clamping down, forcing four turnovers on downs and only allowing two field goals. If Cincinnati's defense can almost singlehandedly win games, the Bengals &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/bengals-jamarr-chase-scores-jaw-dropping-first-touchdown-season-lackluster-week-1-start" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;are one of the best teams&lt;/a&gt; in the league.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Patriots 20, Steelers 3&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Steelers are not a fun team to watch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Right now, Pittsburgh is like the anti-New Orleans. While the Saints have a young quarterback and a young receiver helping them move the ball up and down the field, the Steelers have an old quarterback whose career probably should have ended three years ago and an overpaid veteran receiver who can't catch anything. That's not a fun combination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Packers 20, Jets 17&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: I honestly don't know what to even think about this game.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was ready to declare that the Jets might actually be good, then they &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/jets-collapse-late-against-packers-miss-chance-first-2-0-start-since-2015-overtime-loss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to the Packers&lt;/a&gt; and I'm back on the "oh wait, they're still the Jets" train. Similarly, what even are the Packers? They had a huge lead last week against the Vikings, blew it, and looked dead in the water for three quarters against the Jets. I guess they're just this year's ultimate Jekyll and Hyde team. They look fantastic at times and utterly terrible at others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Eagles 24, Titans 20&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Eagles' record is perfect, but their play is anything but.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are no moral victories in the NFL, so you'd much rather be 2-0 and playing bad than 0-2 with two heartbreaking losses despite great play. That said, I'm not sure how Eagles fans can feel great about this team right now. They barely scraped by the Commanders in Week 1 and then &lt;a href="/outkick-sports/jalen-hurts-saves-eagles-ugly-upset-philadelphia-escapes-titans-remain-unbeaten" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;needed a last-second touchdown&lt;/a&gt; to avoid an upset against one of the worst teams in the NFL. The inconsistency that haunted the team last year is still present, and the Cowboys and Giants are both improved. The NFC East is no longer theirs to lose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/outkick-sports" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Browns 23, Buccaneers 19&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Bucs might just be bad.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Losing to Cincinnati in Week 1 wasn't exactly shame-inducing, but a home loss to the Cleveland Browns is exactly that. Tampa's defense made Deshaun Watson look like a competent NFL quarterback for the first time in like 5 years and the offense really couldn't do much. They might have entered the season as NFC South favorites, but it's clear right now that both the Saints and Panthers are better teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;49ers 35, Dolphins 13&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Dolphins are the worst team in the NFL.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This won't come as much of a surprise to anyone who follows the league, but yeah, the Dolphins are terrible. The good news is that they are tanking properly and an 0-17 season isn't out of the question. The two other teams that could have staked a claim as the league's worst, the Titans and Browns, both showed up in Week 2 (and the Browns even won). Not only did the Dolphins lose, but they were run out of the building. They might be a historically bad team by the time the season ends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Broncos 20, Jaguars 13&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Takeaway: Sean Payton is still overrated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be honest, I don't have much to say about this game. So, I decided to just remind everyone of &lt;a href="https://www.outkick.com/sports/sean-payton-media-myth-good-not-great-broncos-afc-championship" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;my hottest NFL take&lt;/a&gt;. Sean Payton is a good NFL coach and he's treated like an elite one. He isn't, and the Broncos aren't that good. They'll be exposed in the next two weeks against the Rams and 49ers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/ccs_article" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Raiders 26, Chargers 14&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Chargers' season is over.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This might seem extreme, but I don't think it is. The Chargers have now lost games against the Cardinals and Raiders, not exactly world-beaters. Now, look at their upcoming schedule: at Buffalo, at Seattle, Denver, at Kansas City, at Los Angeles Rams, Houston, at Baltimore. It's possible the Chargers are going to be underdogs in each of their next seven games. I don't know how they recover at this point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Seahawks 31, Cardinals 7&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: The Seahawks defense is very much the league's best.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was a debate last year over whether it was the Seahawks or Broncos that featured the league's top unit but there's no such argument so far this year. Seattle held New England to 10 points in Week 1 and came up with a game-winning interception of Drake Maye. The Cardinals put up nearly 400 yards in Week 1 against the Chargers only to have the Seahawks hold them to 151 yards in Week 2. The NFC West is so stacked it almost seems unfair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Cowboys 37, Commanders 20&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: Injuries stink.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was excited to see Jayden Daniels bounce back from an injury-plagued 2025 and return to his 2024 Rookie of the Year form. Then, right at the end of the first half, Daniels suffered another elbow injury and likely faces a lengthy absence. That stinks. For Dallas, it was a good response to the egg they laid in Week 1 against the Giants but the Daniels injury makes it hard to draw too many conclusions from this victory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE FOX NEWS APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Chiefs 33, Colts 30&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Takeaway: Is it possible for both teams to be happy?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, the Colts lost and are now 0-2. Yes, I wrote earlier that teams would much rather be 2-0 playing poorly than 0-2 and playing well. But after getting blown out of their own building in Week 1 by the Ravens, this was a major step forward. And the good news is the Colts face the Texans, Commanders, Steelers, Titans and Vikings in their next 5 games, and all five of those games are winnable. For the Chiefs, what is there to say?
