Controversial officiating clearly isn’t limited to the NFL or the NBA.The Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Gunther on Sunday at Clash in Italy was also hit with a wonky decision from referee Dan Engler.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Rhodes and Gunther were in the midst of a fast-moving end to their match. The “American Nightmare” hit Gunther with a second Cross Rhodes, landing Gunther near the ropes. Rhodes put a pin on Gunther and the referee began his count. The broadcast showed Gunther’s foot underneath the ropes, which should have broken the count.However, Engler wasn’t looking at Gunther’s legs as he counted for Rhodes. The defending champion kept Gunther’s shoulders down for the three count, stunning Gunther. “The Ring General” rolled out of the ring and kept signaling to Engler that his foot was under the rope. Rhodes celebrated with the crowd at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, while Gunther walked back up the entrance ramp in a huff. Rhodes remained the champion, making his second title defense since winning the belt from Drew McIntyre earlier in the month.Gunther…

There are a lot of ways for a baseball player to leave a game with an injury.Getting hit in the hand by a ball from a fan in the stands is apparently one of those ways, although it’s not a very common one.OUTKICK IS NOW ON THE FOX APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOADToronto Blue Jays right fielder Jesús Sánchez exited Sunday’s 9-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles after he was hit by a ball that came from the stands at Camden Yards. The incident happened in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Blue Jays trailing the Orioles, 6-0. At first glance, it looked bad. Sánchez was in right field during a mound visit, appeared to be talking to fans beyond the wall, turned away and then got struck in the right wrist area by what appeared to be a baseball.That led to some understandable confusion on the Peacock broadcast.”What’re you thinking?” Jim Palmer said. “I’d fingerprint it right now.”Honestly, that was probably the first reaction for a lot of people watching the video. A ball coming from the stands and hitting an opposing player doesn’t look very good.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Actor Paul Rudd sparked a lighthearted debate about airline etiquette after calling airplane mode “nonsense” during a recent podcast appearance.Rudd made the comments during an appearance on the May 28 episode of Jake Shane’s podcast, “Therapuss.”During a conversation about common airline rules, Rudd questioned several instructions passengers are routinely given before takeoff and landing, including putting tray tables away, returning seats to the upright position and switching phones to airplane mode.STANDING UP RIGHT AFTER PLANE LANDS FUELS VIRAL DEBATE ABOUT AIR TRAVEL ETIQUETTE”I think all of that is nonsense,” Rudd said.When Shane specifically asked about airplane mode, Rudd doubled down. “I know it’s nonsense,” he said.Shane replied, “I only put it on airplane mode because it’s not going to work either way, so I might as well save the battery.”‘GET OFF THE PLANE,’ DELTA PASSENGERS CHANT AT FLYER WHO REFUSES TO HANG UP PHONERudd acknowledged that reasoning, but suggested he believes the rule stems from concerns about radio frequencies interfering with the plane’s communications systems.Rudd may have questioned the rule — but the Federal Aviation Administration is very clear. It requires passengers to place devices in airplane mode or disable cellular connections…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream.  What good is a ceasefire extension if nobody is upholding the terms of the current ceasefire? Honestly, can someone please explain that to me? There have been military clashes between the United States and Iran three times already this week. Meanwhile, fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is even more intense than it was before the original ceasefire agreement with Iran was signed. So if the current ceasefire agreement has been unable to stop the fighting, why should we believe that a 60-day extension of that ceasefire agreement will get the job done? We are being told that the 60-day ceasefire extension will require Iran to allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz. That would be wonderful. But we were also told the exact same thing about the original ceasefire agreement. At the time, President Trump boldly proclaimed that Iran had agreed to allow commercial vessels to freely travel through the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, that never happened. But we are supposed to believe that Iran really means it this time? Give me a break. The Iranians know that it will probably take them…

The M1A has an impressive lineage. Based on a design dating back to the 1930s and born from the prodigious mind of John C. Garand, the M1A has many of the hallmarks of his M1 Garand rifle. However, it is even more closely tied to the M14, the rifle developed as the successor to Garand’s classic military rifle. And while the M14’s reign as the U.S. military service rifle may have technically been short, its influence and capabilities have carried on well beyond its official role as a front-line military rifle. In fact, the spirit of this select-fire combat rifle carried on in the semi-automatic-only M1A rifle from Geneseo, Illinois’ Springfield Armory, which has continuously produced the rifle since 1974. You can see some of the abuse the rifle took during the testing from just the brass impact marks on the operating rod alone. But how does the M1A stand up to the original M14 rifle? Does it have the capabilities and — possibly even more important — the durability of its military sibling? As the M14 came from an era of rugged strength and durability, as well as the use of wood and steel, the M1A has a lot to live up to. A Fascinating Find…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As controversy surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner continues to mount, attention is turning to a little-known provision of Maine law that could allow Democrats to replace him on the general election ballot after the primary.The question has taken on new significance because Maine election law provides a mechanism for replacing a nominee who withdraws after winning a primary.Under Maine law, a candidate who wins the June 9 primary and subsequently withdraws by 5 p.m. on July 13 may be replaced by a nominee selected by party officials. Any replacement candidate must be chosen no later than 5 p.m. on July 27. The timeline would give Democrats just 14 days to settle on a replacement candidate and prepare for the general election campaign.GRAHAM PLATNER VOWS TO ‘COME AFTER’ BEZOS AS SENATE HOPEFUL ESCALATES BILLIONAIRE TAX FIGHT While there is no public indication that Democrats are pursuing such a strategy, the provision has fueled speculation about what options the party would have if concerns about Platner’s candidacy continue to grow.The scrutiny comes as Platner has faced a series of controversies in recent weeks, including criticism over a tattoo with links to Nazi imagery,…
