It seems as if an entire season’s worth of headlines have been spawned from this week’s ACC Media Days in Charlotte.From Florida State head coach Mike Norvell acting seemingly oblivious to any hot seat talk to SMU’s Rhett Lashlee angering an entire conference with his comments about the Sun Belt, college football fans have been treated to only the finest of offseason theater from several of the personalities of the Atlantic Coast Conference.On Friday, however, one man entered the conversation with what may have been the craziest take any college football fan has heard in years.Meet Pat Narduzzi, head coach of the Pitt Panthers.SMU HEAD COACH RHETT LASHLEE POURS GASOLINE ON FIRE, DISPARAGES SUN BELT’S CLAIM TO CFP BERTH Pitt had a solid campaign under Narduzzi in 2025, going 6-2 in conference and even having a chance to play for the ACC title going into the last week of the season.Maybe that moderate success has gone to the man’s head, however, because he dropped a quote so shocking you have to hear it to believe it.Did all of these ACC coaches get a call from the conference’s PR director telling them to drum up some headlines for clicks or what?Now…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rep. Henry Cuellar issued a warning to his party, claiming the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organization is “using” the Democratic Party as a temporary vehicle to launch a radical agenda.Speaking on “Saturday in America,” Cuellar argued that DSA candidates hide their more extreme platform ideas behind softer talking points to win Democratic seats.”They’re trying to use the safe Democratic seats to run in. And they also know that the Democratic Party is inadequate, but they’re using us or trying to use the Democratic Party as a vehicle so later they can set up their own platform,” Cuellar said.WATCH: HOUSE DEMS DODGE QUESTIONS ON SOCIALIST AGENDA THAT THREATENS TO ABOLISH KEY INSTITUTIONS The Texas representative called on fellow Democrats to openly reject the DSA’s positions, including what he called more extreme views such as restructuring the Supreme Court and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”As a Democrat, I reject what the DSA is doing. I read their platform, and it is radical,” Cuellar said.Fox News Digital reached out to the DSA for comment. “They want to… get rid of the Senate. So constitutional changes there.

Do you know where you were on this day 18 years ago?You probably don’t, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a movie theater formerly known as Ridge Cinema in Davie, Florida, watching “The Dark Knight” on opening day with a group of my closest friends.I can recall this partially because of how mind-blowing the movie was (more on that in a bit) but also because some guy had a heart attack in the front row and I had to run to the concession stand and tell some poor teenager working his summer job to call 9-1-1. ‘ODYSSEY’ STARS ZENDAYA, ANNE HATHAWAY AND MATT DAMON TURN HEADS AS DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FACES BACKLASHHe survived, but they had to end the movie prematurely and offer us vouchers to come watch it again at a later date for free.I didn’t even see the climax and resolution until the DVD release, and I still thought “The Dark Knight” was the greatest superhero movie ever made. That’s how good it was.18 years later, and I still hold that opinion.Sure, movies like “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War” were bigger spectacles, but Christopher Nolan’s grounded and gritty take on…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to drift across parts of the United States, forestry experts say Canada could reduce the severity of some fires through more aggressive forest management.The issue reached the White House Friday, with President Donald Trump accusing Canada of failing to properly manage its forests and threatening to factor the economic cost of the smoke into tariffs on Canadian imports.”We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said he planned to call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and accused Canada of refusing to engage in “basic Forest Management and Debris Removal,” calling it “Willful Negligence.”TRUMP SHOULD EXPAND HIS BORDER CRACKDOWN. TIMING IS PERFECT TO REIN IN CANADA AND MEXICO Andrew Hale, a Canadian fellow at Advancing American Freedom, argued that Canada’s wildfire policies have failed to prioritize forest management.”Canada has a policy of not keeping reservoirs. They also will not cut firebreaks and will not thin their forests,” Hale told Fox News Digital. “This is the result…

After more than two years of anticipation, Nike unveiled Caitlin Clark’s first signature basketball shoe, the Nike Caitlin 1, marking a major milestone for one of basketball’s biggest stars. Clark became one of a select group of athletes to receive a signature sneaker from Nike, joining an elite roster of basketball icons.On Saturday, after a historic 45-point performance against the Seattle Storm the day before, and setting a franchise record for points scored while becoming the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-plus-point 10-assist game, Clark unveiled a new colorway for the Nike Caitlin 1. CAITLIN CLARK MAKES WNBA HISTORY WITH RECORD-BREAKING GAME AFTER WEEKS OF CONTROVERSYNow that another colorway has been released, here are my favorites so far:This bright royal blue upper (called racer blue on Nike’s website) accented by a white Nike Swoosh and neon volt details was the first colorway for the Caitlin 1 released. At first, this shoe was underwhelming, but it’s grown on me.This white upper with a clear blue bottom is the most versatile of the four colorways revealed by Clark so far. It’s a clean look that will be seen on and off the court more than any other colorway, in…

Israel has proposed a radical idea: to use crocodiles to guard prisons. The Jewish state has reportedly reclassified Nile crocodiles as “tended” animals, which could clear the way for the animals’ use as part of prison security. The controversial proposal to surround prisons with crocodile-filled moats was reportedly floated late last year by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The politician argued that the reptiles would strengthen security and deter escape attempts. The plan was initially deemed legally unfeasible by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority because Nile crocodiles were classified as wild animals that could only be kept in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. The reclassification opens the door to the use of Nile crocodiles in prisons for security. According to a report by RT, the official legal obstacle was reportedly removed this week when Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman redesignated the Nile crocodile as a “tended wild animal,” Israeli media reported on Friday. The new classification allows the reptiles to be kept in a wider range of facilities, potentially including prisons. According to Israeli media reports, Ben-Gvir wants to first introduce the reptiles to Ketziot Prison, a penitentiary in southern Israel that holds primarily Palestinian prisoners. After he first floated the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democratic strategist James Carville blasted major television networks Friday for declining to carry President Donald Trump’s election integrity speech in full, arguing Americans should have been allowed to watch what he described as the president’s increasingly erratic behavior.”I would advise them to attack CNN, attack ABC, attack NBC… because they didn’t air the speech,” Carville told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer when asked how Democrats should respond to Trump’s primetime address.”I think the president of the United States acting loonier than a tune is newsworthy.”ABC, NBC, CNN AVOID AIRING TRUMP’S PRIMETIME ELECTION SECURITY ADDRESS LIVE Carville argued the networks missed an opportunity to let voters judge Trump’s remarks for themselves, contending that watching the address in its entirety would have reinforced concerns about the president’s conduct rather than helped his political standing.Blitzer responded by pressing Carville on that note, asking him to confirm his suggestion.”You think we should have given him more publicity, is that what you’re saying?” he asked.TONY DOKOUPIL CLASHES WITH MARK WARNER AFTER THE SENATOR RIPPED CBS FOR AIRING TRUMP SPEECH ‘AS NEWS’ “Absolutely saying that,” Carville responded.”I’m absolutely saying that I think the decision not to air that speech by…
