MS NOW host links Election Day to wiping out Pat McAfee and the 'manosphere'

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 12:58:51 -0500

For Joe Scarborough at MS NOW, voters across America could be going to the polls today with a clear mission: to bury Pat McAfee and the "manosphere."

In a bizarre Election Day morning rant, the "Morning Joe" host claimed that McAfee was "ruining GameDay" and that he's "had enough." That led Scarborough to declare that the election could become a referendum on McAfee and high-testosterone men.

"While we're talking football, does anybody want to get in trouble? I'll just say it myself. I've just had enough of this. Pat McAfee ruining 'College GameDay.' I look forward to waking up on Saturday mornings and watching that. And I don't know if they haven't got the message yet, but the manosphere that we all thought was brought in in '24, it may get washed aside. And maybe you aren't having to be, you know, yelling at people and being freaked out because two kids in Utah put up signs or say something that might offend you."

FBI ADVISED ESPN STAR PAT MCAFEE TO WEAR A BULLETPROOF VEST AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION

The last sentence is a reference to McAfee saying he felt unsafe during a recent ESPN stop at the University of Utah.

"Do you know what Nick Saban calls that? Tuesday! It's like, and he's melting down," Scarborough continued.

This would be the same Joe Scarborough who declared in March 2024 that Joe Biden was at his "best Biden ever" level despite what the rest of us saw with our own eyes. "Morning Joe," at the time, said that Biden was totally all there. "He was as sharp as anybody else I’ve spoken to and spoke actually like a man who’s been doing this since he was 29 years old and new world leaders," Scarborough said of Biden.

How'd that work out?

Now the MS NOW blowhard wants us to believe that American voters are declaring McAfee as public enemy No. 1, and they're voting for woke candidates as a "gotcha" to the GameDay host. That's quite a feather in Pat's cap.

Gallup reported last week that the top concerns for voters this cycle are the economy, healthcare, war, income, gas prices, immigration, abortion, the Middle East/Palestine, crime, data centers and climate change.

Nowhere in the latest Gallup poll do we see "Pat McAfee" or the "manosphere" as a hot issue. To our knowledge, not a single political candidate used Pat McAfee in an attack ad.

Missouri State Highway Patrol recaptures convicted murderer who escaped Tennessee prison

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:21:49 -0500

Missouri state troopers have recaptured an escaped murderer who broke free from a Tennessee prison last week, a highway patrol spokesperson told Fox News Digital Tuesday.

Jacob Allen Morley broke out of the Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville, Tennessee, on Oct. 25, officials there said previously.

Details about his capture were not immediately available, but the spokesperson said more information would be forthcoming.

"This just happened, so we're still getting all the details," he said.

Staff at the prison noticed Morley was unaccounted for at around 11:30 p.m., and a review of surveillance footage subsequently revealed him crossing through the prison's perimeter fence. According to Tennessee Highway Patrol dispatch audio, Morley was last seen at the prison around 4 p.m. Sunday.

He later stole a truck, authorities alleged.

Morley was arrested in 2022 in connection with the murder of a man named Cody Birchfield. Police had initially arrested Morley near the border with North Carolina and later found Birchfield's body under Morley's home. In 2025, he was convicted at the end of a trial that included his ex-girlfriend testifying that, "he f---ing killed him."

Tennessee authorities later publicly thanked the public and the Missouri Highway Patrol for their help recapturing the killer, who was previously convicted of first-degree murder, burglary, tampering with evidence, evading arrest and vandalism.

Ex-Rep Justin Amash says Mike Rogers 'would be more dangerous in the US Senate' than Abdul El-Sayed

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:36:22 -0500

Former Rep. Justin Amash — who announced on Monday that he did not vote for Abdul El-Sayed or former Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race — said he thinks El-Sayed would "be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers."

Rogers, a Republican candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, is facing Democratic candidate El-Sayed in the widely-watched Senate contest.

"It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me," Amash wrote in a thread on X. "I also don’t vote for 'the lesser of two evils.' I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office. I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed. But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate — and it’s not even close."

ELECTION DAY 2026: VOTERS CAST BALLOTS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS ON THE LINE

Amash pointed to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as a political figure who resembles El-Sayed. Sanders has supported El-Sayed in the Senate race.

"To assess who is the greater threat to American freedom, let’s take a look at my time in Congress with Rogers and Bernie Sanders, who shares many of El-Sayed’s views and can serve as his stand-in," Amash wrote. "Several of Sanders’s key proposals, in my opinion, would be exceptionally bad for our country. But given the structure of our government, he’s in no position to get those ideas enacted and enforced.

"In contrast, Rogers is extraordinarily bad on all the issues on which an individual member of Congress may be the deciding vote. Again, these are issues like war powers, surveillance, privacy, the freedom of speech, criminal justice, and government oversight and accountability," he asserted. "In this world — the real world, not the imaginary one that partisan pundits on the right and left live in — Rogers poses a far greater threat to individual liberty and the Constitution than Sanders. Moreover, it’s not just that Rogers is awful here; it’s that Sanders is actually much better on these issues than the median member of Congress."

MICHIGAN VOTERS MAKE SURPRISING CROSS-PARTY CHOICES AS ROGERS, EL-SAYED RACE REACHES FINAL HOURS

Amash asserted that between Rogers and El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate would be "less dangerous."

"I think it’s fair to view El-Sayed as someone who mostly will follow in Sanders’s footsteps on policy and therefore will be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers," Amash wrote, adding in parentheses, "(Again, El-Sayed as a senator will do many things that are bad. The question addressed at length is not whether he’s good but simply whether he’s better on the whole than Rogers.)"

The Rogers and the El-Sayed campaigns did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment on Tuesday.

Amash, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from early 2011 until early 2021, voted to impeach President Donald Trump in late 2019. While he served most of his congressional tenure as a Republican, Amash switched to Independent in 2019 and then to Libertarian in 2020.

He lost the 2024 GOP Michigan U.S. Senate primary to Rogers.

Rogers went on to lose the general election that year to Democrat Elissa Slotkin, who was a House lawmaker at the time.

Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed this year, shook up the 2026 general election when she endorsed Rogers on Sunday.

These college football coordinators will be the next big head coaches, according to 'Film Guy' Brooks Austin

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:27:08 -0500

In a surprising turn of events, Florida State recently fired its embattled head coach, Mike Norvell, after a 3-5 start to the season.

While his record would indicate it was long past time for him to hit the road, the shocking part of it all is the fact that FSU was willing to pay his exorbitant buyout, which is reported to be around $50 million when all is said and done.

This means one of the premiere coaching jobs in college football has suddenly, and perhaps unexpectedly, come open, and the Seminoles will be in the market for a new head coach in the coming months.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHING CAROUSEL COULD EXPLODE AS LINCOLN RILEY AND DEION SANDERS FACE MOUNTING PRESSURE

Many expect the Noles to take a swing at a big, currently established head coaching name, but recent history shows that may not be the smartest play.

Some programs think they need to make a big splash hire, when in actuality, the best candidates are often the ones hiding in plain sight.

Take the Kentucky Wildcats, for example.

They fired Mark Stoops after a 13-year stint in Lexington, and instead of parking a Brinks truck in front of a seasoned veteran, they handed the keys to Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein.

The results speak for themselves, as the Wildcats lead the SEC eight games into the season.

FORMER NFL QB PHILIP RIVERS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS OPTION FOR NC STATE OPENING AMID COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAROUSEL

All that is to say, who will be the next hot-shot coordinator to take a job like Florida State and become the greatest thing since sliced bread?

One man who has a few names on his list is college football analyst Brooks Austin.

Austin watches hours of tape a week and identifies the best units across the country, and when I asked him about who the next big name will be when scouring the coordinator ranks, he had more than a few options.

"I've always studied Buster Faulkner at Florida and loved what he's done," Austin says. "I loved what he did at at Georgia Tech."

While Faulkner was one of the hottest coordinator names in the country heading into October, the months of spooks and scares certainly did a number on the Gators' OC and his reputation among elite playcallers, something Austin admits.

"I think Buster... he's kind of gotten tipped off lately in, in this league. People are kind of figuring out what it is he's doing."

A name that might be flying under the radar but needs some more attention is Utah offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven.

"I watched what Utah does, and I'm like, 'This is fun, man,'" he says with a smile. "This is fun, that you're getting to a different play in a different way every single time you do it."

In his first year in Salt Lake City, McGiven has the Utes scoring nearly 39 points per game, and doing so with an innovative two-quarterback system.

Austin admits that, while he likes what he's seeing from Utah and McGiven, there is a chance if it doesn't work right away in one of the "big boy leagues," it could fall apart quickly due to the impatience of SEC fans.

"If an SEC school hired Kevin McGiven, and it didn't work out in like the first six weeks, are they gonna sit there and go, 'why did we hire this high school offense,'" asks Austin.

SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER

"If you do that, and you hire that at a bigger like like blue blood program, and it doesn't work, people are gonna be like, 'well, duh, he runs a high school offense?'"

For all the talk of the offensive side of the ball, there are a few defensive coordinators who have also caught Austin's eye.

"Glenn Schumann at Georgia, he's always been a guy that is like really, really smart, and is just such a great teacher of concepts, and is still really young."

Another one who fits the mold of young, innovative DC is Bryant Haines at Indiana, whom Austin calls "a lunatic" (that's a positive trait for a defensive coordinator, by the way).

One more name Austin mentioned is a guy who is flying way under the radar given his current employer, and that is Louisiana Tech DC Luke Olson.

"(Olson) is like 33 (or) 34 years old, and he is highly, highly respected," he mentions "Like when (offenses) go to face this guy, they're like, 'We got a tough one this week.'"

"Luke Olson's a dude."

Suffice to say, there are a lot of brilliant football minds in the college game right now, and although Florida State may go in a different direction, they can't go wrong taking a look at some of these names.

If the Seminoles want a "dude" at head coach, they know where to look.

Bird flu kills US resident after dairy cow exposure, marking nation’s third death

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:23:30 -0500

A resident of Yakima County, Washington, has died from complications of bird flu, public health officials confirmed, marking a rare fatal human case of the virus in the United States.

The individual, who had underlying medical conditions, was hospitalized with severe illness after contracting avian influenza through exposure to infected livestock at a local dairy facility.

Local officials declined to release the person’s name, age or gender, citing privacy concerns.

H5N1 BIRD FLU CONFIRMED IN AUSTRALIA FOR THE FIRST TIME, MEANING VIRUS HAS NOW REACHED EVERY CONTINENT

"Our hearts go out to the individual's family and loved ones during this difficult time," Dr. Dave Atteberry, health officer for the Yakima Health District, said in a statement.

"Avian influenza can cause severe illness, particularly among people who have underlying health conditions," he went on. "While this is a serious and heartbreaking outcome, the risk to the general public remains low."

Health officials on Monday also confirmed a third human case of avian influenza in Yakima County. That individual, who was also exposed to infected dairy cattle at a local farm, has not been hospitalized and has not experienced severe illness.

Public health teams are actively tracing and monitoring close contacts of both individuals for potential symptoms.

RARE TICK-BORNE VIRUS TURNS DEADLY FAST AS US CASES REACH RECORD HIGH, EXPERTS WARN

"People at greater risk include dairy workers and others who have close or prolonged contact with infected animals or environments contaminated with the virus," the health district said in an advisory.

"If you work on a dairy farm and develop symptoms after potential exposure to infected cattle, contact your healthcare provider or the Yakima Health District."

What is bird flu?

Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a disease caused by influenza type A viruses that typically spread among wild aquatic birds and domestic poultry, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In recent years, an outbreak of the H5N1 strain has expanded beyond birds to infect various mammals, including domestic dairy cows and outdoor livestock.

Federal and state health officials emphasize that the overall risk to the general public remains low.

Person-to-person spread of bird flu is extremely rare and has not been identified in the U.S., according to the CDC.

Agricultural workers, veterinarians and people in close, prolonged contact with infected animals, raw milk or contaminated manure are at the greatest risk of exposure, the above agency states.

Commercial pasteurized milk and properly cooked poultry remain safe to consume, as heat kills the virus.

Symptoms and prevention

Bird flu infections in humans can range from mild to severe. The most common symptoms reported in recent farm-related cases include the following.

Eye redness, discharge or inflammation (conjunctivitis, or pinkeye)
Cough, sore throat or runny nose
Fever or chills
Fatigue, headache and muscle aches
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing (in severe cases)

Health authorities advise the public to avoid handling sick or dead wild birds and livestock.

Idaho deer hunter reports Bigfoot encounter in remote woods after he 'smells the smell'

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:20:11 -0500

An Idaho deer hunter out on an evening hunt a couple of weeks ago in the mountains near St. Maries has now heard the knocks and smelled the smell of what had to be a Bigfoot.

The hunter was minding his own business and walking down a trail on Tuesday, Oct. 20, around 5 p.m. when he first heard what he described to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization as "loud knocking on a tree."

The noises were coming from a creek bed about 200 to 300 yards away from him. While he didn't catch a glimpse of who or what was responsible for the knocking, he says it was "immediately followed by a super strong smell of death."

"The knocking persisted for 5-10 minutes, and upon searching for any carcasses producing the smell, nothing was found. I also heard briefly what sounded like a really deep voice but I couldn't make out what it was saying, sort of gibberish," the hunter reported to BFRO.

"I did not see any human footprints or any signs of people on that trail or in the general area. I was the only truck I saw all day on the road leading to the drainage I was in."

What else could it have been, but a Bigfoot? I've never seen a deep voice speaking in gibberish be reported before, but this is a veteran outdoorsman with no prior incidents of an encounter like this before.

He knows the woods. He knows the signs of a dead animal nearby, and he couldn’t explain what he encountered alone at dusk last month.

"The smell of decay was extremely strong, as if you were standing right on top of a carcass. It was overpowering," he added. "I could not even find a single sign of a dead animal near me."

Bruce Springsteen sparks fan fury after backing Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Senate race

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:12:24 -0500

Bruce Springsteen has a message for Michigan voters — and some of his longtime fans aren't having it.

The rock legend faced criticism from some social media users after backing Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, prompting angry fans to accuse The Boss of crossing a political line.

Springsteen, who has never shied away from politics, took aim at President Donald Trump in his endorsement of El-Sayed, portraying the progressive candidate as a defender of American democracy.

"Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%. Bruce Springsteen," he penned on social media.

CHRIS ROBINSON, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FACE BACKLASH AS 'AMERICANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH' OF BEING LECTURED: EXPERT

Critics questioned why the New Jersey-born singer was endorsing El-Sayed, given controversies over the candidate's political associations and positions on Israel.

"Bruce Springsteen, the guy who spent 40 years cashing in on ‘Born in the USA,’ finally posts after two years of silence just to call an elected American president ‘corrupt, lawless, and anti-American’ while locking arms with Abdul El-Sayed, the same guy who campaigned with Hasan Piker (the streamer who said America deserved 9/11) and still can’t shake the Muslim Brotherhood questions about his own family."

METALLICA FRONTMAN JAMES HETFIELD BLASTS ENTERTAINERS PUSHING POLITICAL AGENDAS AT CONCERTS

Another commenter criticized the singer's political activism, writing, "The Boss isn’t fighting for the Constitution. He’s just another rich coastal has-been who needs a new reason to hate the country that made him."

"Bruce Springsteen who performed at the concert for NY at MSG on 2001 after 9/11….. is now campaigning for a Muslim brotherhood sympathizer," another person wrote. "Did I not have this on my bingo card for today."

Another longtime fan expressed sadness and anger over what they viewed as Springsteen's failure to understand the impact of his endorsement on those who have long fought antisemitism.

"Shame on you. You are not educated to understand what your endorsement means to so many life long fans and good people that are fighting antisemitism and hatred for thousands of years. You are acting like an ignorant uneducated school child. You did this for what reason? This is so foolish. I’m so sad., I’m 59 years old.. Shame on me for thinking you were educated and smarter. Take the time to understand the other point of view."

However, not everyone was ready to turn on the rock icon.

EL-SAYED'S SILENCE OVER MOM'S FBI QUESTIONING RAISES TRANSPARENCY CONCERNS

Springsteen's endorsement drew support from El-Sayed backers, including one self-described frequent concertgoer who accused critics of unfairly targeting the Democratic candidate.

"As a huge Springsteen fan, and veteran of over 50 different shows around the country, and a resident of Michigan, and supporter of Dr. Abdul El Sayed, I support this message 100%. I suspect that some of your Jewish fans may have issues with this, but that's their problem. That just shows their bigotry. They're the first ones to … complain about the racism and bigotry of Maga, and yet here they are doing the same damn thing to Abdul. Anyway Bruce, thank you for supporting the good Dr. and always being on the side of the good guys."

"Fully with you, he's the man," one supporter wrote.

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

"Thank you Bruce. History is about to be made. Abdul is more than qualified," another added.

Another commenter questioned El-Sayed's political beliefs and policy positions.

"Would love to know exactly what El-Sayed’s beliefs and what he is doing that American you love so much? America is not a socialist country nor is socialism the USA’s belief no matter who has been in the Oval Office."

Meanwhile, El-Sayed's Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., accused the Democratic candidate of misleading Michigan voters about his views on the Muslim Brotherhood, pointing to reported associations involving members of El-Sayed's family.

El-Sayed previously told Fox News that he has "never been" and will "never be" a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Fox News Digital is not aware of any direct ties between El-Sayed and the organization.

Springsteen also released a second video message addressing election officials and government representatives, urging them to protect the integrity of the voting process.

"Hi, it’s Bruce Springsteen. I’m speaking to election officials and representatives of our government on election day. You have sworn an oath to preserve, protect, and defend our constitution."

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE

He continued, "That means you have a solemn duty to ensure that our votes are securely counted. Thomas Jefferson said, government requires the consent of the governed. You who represent us must never consent to any directives that undermine our constitutional right to a free and fair election. Our vote is our voice, and it’s up to you to ensure that our voice is heard. I wish you all a good election day, and thank you for your service."

The accompanying caption urged followers who had not yet voted to do so and directed them to OathProject.org to take what Springsteen described as an "Oath to the Constitution."

The endorsement comes as El-Sayed faces Rogers in a Michigan U.S. Senate race. El-Sayed, a former Wayne County health official, is running on a progressive platform centered on universal healthcare after defeating Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary.

The race has featured disagreements over U.S. support for Israel and accusations of antisemitism. Stevens endorsed Rogers, who is seeking a political comeback after losing the 2024 Senate race by fewer than 20,000 votes.

FBI nabs suspect accused of sending hundreds of white powder letters to public officials: source

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:16:08 -0500

FIRST ON FOX: The FBI arrested an Oklahoma City man early Monday suspected of sending hundreds of letters containing suspicious white powder to public officials across the country during the 2024 and 2026 election cycles, a federal law enforcement source told Fox News Digital.

The suspect's initial court appearance is expected Tuesday afternoon. The letters were sent to more than 100 locations, including multiple secretary of state and election offices, the source said.

The FBI's Oklahoma City field office, FBI Criminal Division, U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), U.S. Capitol Police and the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) led the investigation.

FBI PROBES SUSPICIOUS WHITE POWDER LETTERS SENT TO SCHUMER, DEM SENATORS AS THREAT SPREADS NATIONWIDE

The arrest comes as federal authorities investigate suspicious letters mailed to congressional and election offices ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The FBI said it was working with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to investigate "a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices," The Associated Press reported last month.

Authorities had warned recipients to treat the mailings as "potentially hazardous" as authorities worked to intercept additional letters before they reached their destinations, according to the outlet.

The FBI said in an Oct. 23 advisory that no hazardous material had been identified in the suspicious substances tested at that point, though laboratory testing remained ongoing.

Several Senate offices reported receiving or being sent suspicious mail.

Susan Collins' Maine Senate office vandalized with 'disturbing' graffiti on night before Election Day

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 12:44:59 -0500

The Biddeford, Maine, office of Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, was vandalized Monday night for the second time in a month, Collins' chief of staff told Fox News.

After vandals previously spray-painted the building's door in September, saboteurs on Monday dumped a bucket of red paint in front of the location while writing in crimson — "BLOOD on her HANDS" — on the sidewalk in front of the building.

"This is another incident in a series and the second attempt at our Biddeford office to intimidate the Senator and her staff. These tactics are disturbing, but not effective. Our staff is undeterred and on the job," Collins' chief of staff Katie Brown told Fox News' Alexis McAdams.

TRUMP REAFFIRMS ICE ARREST POLICY AFTER CONFUSING GUIDANCE SPARKS ALARM AMONG AGENTS

The Biddeford office is near the scene of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer-involved shooting in which a law enforcement officer shot and killed 26-year-old Colombian national Johan Sebastián Guerrero in July.

Days after the shooting, protesters barged into the Biddeford office's front door, chanting "vote her out."

PERSONAL JABS, BILLIONAIRE DONORS AND PARTY LOYALTY FUEL HEATED MAINE SENATE DEBATE

In September, the "Trump whore" epithet was spray-painted in red on her office door.

Collins' challenger for her U.S. Senate seat, former Democratic state Senator Troy Jackson, condemned the vandalism in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

"There’s no place for this in Maine. Vandalism and intimidation are wrong, full stop. Senator Collins and her staff should be able to do their jobs without anyone defacing their office, and I condemn whoever did this," Jackson said.

Jackson had also condemned the September incident in another statement to Fox News Digital.

"Senator Collins and her staff should be able to do their jobs without anyone defacing their office, and I condemn whoever did this," Jackson said.

MACtion college football picks favor the Bulls plus the spread against Miami (Ohio) tonight

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 12:37:40 -0500

College Football is in action tonight, and it isn't just action; it is MACtion. If you're not a big college football fan, you may not realize that there are games almost every night at this point. That hasn't always been the case; it seems like the MAC was the only conference that really played during the week. Either way, it starts tonight, and we have a good one brewing between Buffalo and Miami (Ohio).

The Buffalo Bulls come into the game with a 5-3 record and a 3-1 mark in the conference. The Bulls were one of my favorite teams a few years ago, when they were running everyone ragged on the field. Their identity has changed a bit, but they still have built their team around a strong running game. Their main ball-carrier, Messiah Burch, has run for 845 yards for the season with five touchdowns. Averaging over 100 yards per game, no matter what conference you play in, is impressive.

So far, the Bulls have played some decent competition. They started the year with a game against UAlbany, and they won by four points. They probably should've had an easier time in that game, but I'll excuse it since it was the first game of the season. The next two games were against Florida International and Penn State, both losses. Florida International beat them by 13, and Penn State routed them by 42. Buffalo really is only effective on the road, not even throwing for 200 yards in a game this season. Over the past five games, they've gone 4-1, beating Robert Morris, Toledo, Massachusetts and Bowling Green. Their lone loss was against Western Michigan.

On the other side of the field is Miami (Ohio) RedHawks. They are also 5-3 for the season and have a 3-1 record in the MAC. The parallels between the two teams don't really end there. Miami Ohio is more of a run-first team, but they rely on their quarterback to scramble about as much as they are looking for their lead back to get them yards. Part of the issue is that their main quarterback coming into the season, David McComb, is injured. He was racking up passing yards in the first four games.

SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER

In the next four games, Caleb Heavner, their new quarterback, has thrown for a total of 579 passing yards. McComb had 646 in his final two games.

The RedHawks started the season against Pittsburgh and lost 59-14. They destroyed Holy Cross the next game, and then lost to Cincinnati on the road. They won against UConn, but lost their MAC opener to Bowling Green. Since then, they have won three straight against Massachusetts, Akron, and Central Michigan.

Tonight is a battle between two decent MAC teams. The Bulls are going to run the ball as much as possible, and that will likely milk the clock. I could see the under being a good look here. The RedHawks will run more often than throw as well. However, I think a lower-scoring game gives the Bulls a chance to win or at least cover. They are getting six points, and I think they are the correct side in this game. Give me the Bulls +6 tonight.

Paper ballots in NY county unable to be accepted by voting machines, will still be counted

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 12:03:19 -0500

Voting machines in Westchester County, New York, the state's seventh most populous county, are not accepting paper ballots at polling locations throughout the county, the Westchester County Board of Elections said in a statement Tuesday morning.

"The Westchester County Board of Elections (BOE) is aware of an issue involving the paper ballots that is preventing some voting machines from accepting ballots at polling locations throughout the County," the statement read.

The board relayed that it is communicating with state and county officials and with poll workers to address the issue while repeatedly affirming to voters that all paper ballots will be counted.

WATCHDOG, GOP LAWMAKER WARN NY VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEMS LACKS KEY SAFEGUARDS

"Voters should continue to complete their paper ballots as instructed by poll workers. Ballots that cannot be processed by voting machines will be placed in designated orange emergency ballot bags, which will remain secure and monitored. These ballots will subsequently be counted," the BOE said.

In a statement, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, "My office is fully aware of the ongoing problems with ballots and voting scanners across Westchester County, and I want to be absolutely clear: this situation is unacceptable.

"Voters should remain in line and exercise their right to vote. Every eligible voter will have the opportunity to cast their ballot, and every vote must be counted. I have directed County officials, including representatives from our Law Department, to monitor the voting process and ensure that voters can cast their ballots without interference and that every vote is properly and accurately counted.

"Once these issues are resolved, I will convene a bipartisan team to conduct a thorough review of the decisions and failures that led to this debacle, determine where accountability lies and ensure that this never happens again.

"Westchester County voters deserve a fair, secure and seamless election process. Today, we have fallen short of that standard. The voters deserve better, and I intend to make sure they get it," Jenkins said.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., first alerted voters to an apparent ballot scanner problem in the county in a Tuesday morning post on X.

"There is a problem with every ballot scanner in Westchester County. We do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it," Lawler wrote.

"However, every ballot will be counted. Stay on line and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting," Lawler's post concluded.

Lawler also revealed while speaking to CNN reporters outside a polling location in Pearl River, New York, that the issue appeared to be that the paper ballots were too thick to be read by the machines.

"There was an issue with the thickness of the ballot and the formatting of the machines. And so none of the machines were accepting the ballot across the entire county," Lawler told CNN.

"As is often the case, when there's an emergency, they take the ballot, and they put it in an emergency voting bag. Every ballot will be counted. And everybody should be rest assured that their vote will count. They should wait on line. I know the lines may be impacted a little bit. With some delays, but do not leave the line. Make sure you vote. Your vote will be counted. The machines are being fixed," he said.

The board echoed Lawler's insistence that all votes would be counted.

"We strongly encourage all voters to remain in line, exercise patience and, most importantly, cast their ballots," the board added.

The board also apologized to voters and to poll workers for the inconvenience.

"Let us be absolutely clear: Every eligible vote will be counted. No voter should be discouraged from participating in this election because of this issue. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Please stay in line and vote," the board's statement said.

Voter Patrick Reagan, who has been voting in Westchester County for the last 40 years, spoke to Fox News outside a polling place in Yonkers.

"I hope all the votes are going to be corrected properly and accounted for. And, you know, it's a big year for everybody just voting. You know, we need to keep the country safe and good. And I hope, it's going to turn out the way I wanted to," Reagan said.

Voter Linda Giaimo, a woman who took her friend to vote, said she would be calling the Board of Elections about what was happening on Election Day.

"It's all through Westchester County, that all these machines are down. So now we've got to put our vote in a bag and believe that that bag is going to be delivered. I got a problem with this," Giaimo said.

New York's Democratic Attorney General Letitia James also weighed in.

"My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution. Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count," she wrote in a Tuesday morning post on X.

James also reminded state residents that New York has a dedicated Election Protection Hotline — (866) 390-2992 — to assist New Yorkers experiencing issues at the polls.

"Today is your opportunity to make your voice heard, and every eligible New Yorker deserves to cast their ballot without fear or intimidation," James said in a statement. "My office is here to help New Yorkers navigate any problems they encounter at the polls and ensure their voices are heard. If you experience an issue while voting today, call our Election Protection Hotline. We are ready to help," she continued.

New York's polls opened at 6 a.m. and will close at 9 p.m.

Fox News Digital contacted Rep. Mike Lawler for further comment.

Illegal immigrant accused of violent attempted murder, kidnapping of a minor was released under Biden admin

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:41:30 -0500

An illegal immigrant is facing a slew of charges after investigators say he stabbed a young victim and tried to kidnap her from a home in Baltimore, Maryland. It happened just three years after he was let into the country during the Biden administration.

The Baltimore Police Department says Abubakarr Barrie, 23, is accused of stabbing a 15-year-old girl inside a home. Multiple reports say he worked as an unlicensed cab driver.

The Department of Homeland Security says Barrie picked the victim up and took her "to a basement property that he was renting at the time."

iPhone Duo vs Galaxy Z Fold 8: Is $2,000 worth it?

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:37:23 -0500

How much would you pay for a phone that turns into a small tablet? Apple is betting the answer is nearly $2,000. After seven years of watching Samsung build folding phones, Apple has finally entered the race with its first-ever foldable iPhone.

The new iPhone Duo, which went on sale Oct. 23, opens like a book to reveal a 7.6-inch screen. Its biggest competitor, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, offers the same screen size and a remarkably similar design. However, Samsung's phone is lighter and costs about $100 less.

Apple has some interesting advantages of its own, including impressive battery performance and a clever screen designed to reduce glare. But there are compromises on both sides, including a repair bill that might make you think twice about carrying either phone without protection. So, has Apple finally cracked the folding phone formula, or does Samsung still have the better idea?

8 BIGGEST THINGS WE LEARNED FROM APPLE'S 2026 EVENT

Apple enters the foldable phone race seven years late

Samsung introduced the original Galaxy Fold in 2019. Those early devices came with plenty of growing pains, including concerns about screen durability. Since then, Samsung has steadily improved its folding technology.

Apple took its time. In fact, we covered one of the company's early ideas in our article about Apple's foldable iPhone patent in 2023. Now the iPhone Duo is finally here, and Apple has made some interesting design decisions. The phone features a polished titanium frame, Apple's A20 Pro processor and a large inner OLED display. It also introduces a redesigned version of iOS built around the folding experience.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 takes a different approach. It uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and Samsung's One UI 9 software, which has evolved through several generations of folding phones. That experience gives Samsung an advantage in some areas. However, Apple has already managed to outperform its rival in early battery testing.

iPhone Duo vs Galaxy Z Fold 8 price: Prepare for sticker shock

Let's get the painful part out of the way. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB of storage. The 512GB model costs $2,199, while the 1TB version jumps to $2,599. If you really want to splurge, Apple's 2TB model costs an eye-watering $3,199.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at $1,899.99 for 256GB. The 512GB version costs $2,099.99, while the 1TB model reaches $2,499.99. That puts Samsung roughly $100 below Apple at comparable storage levels. Of course, Samsung has another advantage. Its Fold 8 has been on sale since August, so retailers and carriers have had time to introduce promotions.

However, I'd look closely at those deals before celebrating the savings. Some carrier offers require a qualifying trade-in or a lengthy commitment to monthly bill credits. There's also a larger question. When you're already spending nearly $2,000, will saving $100 really determine which phone you choose? I suspect the answer comes down to what happens when you actually hold them.

Apple's folding iPhone has a weight problem

One of the first things you'll notice about these phones is how similar they look. Both fold horizontally like a book, with smaller screens on the outside and expansive displays when opened. But there's a noticeable difference in weight. The iPhone Duo weighs 8.96 ounces, compared with 7.09 ounces for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. That's almost two ounces heavier for Apple's phone.

If you've ever carried a heavy smartphone in your pocket all day, you know how noticeable that can become. The difference could be even more apparent when you're holding the phone open for extended periods. Samsung also wins on thickness. Its Fold 8 measures about 0.38 inches thick when closed, while the Duo measures 0.44 inches. Apple counters with a rounded titanium design that may feel more comfortable in your hand. Samsung uses sharper edges and a flatter appearance.

There's also something worth thinking about. Both phones have relatively small outer screens. Apple's measures 5.4 inches, while Samsung's comes in at 5.5 inches. Those screens are perfectly usable for everyday tasks. However, they're considerably smaller than the displays on many conventional flagship phones. You could end up spending $2,000 on a device that requires an extra step whenever you want a bigger screen. That's why I'd recommend trying both in person before buying. The phone that feels exciting for five minutes in a store needs to feel comfortable after five hours in your hand.

The iPhone Duo display has a clever trick

Both folding phones open to reveal 7.6-inch OLED screens with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz. Each also offers peak outdoor brightness of 3,000 nits. The real difference comes down to how those displays handle reflections.

Apple developed a nano-texture finish for the Duo's inner screen. It creates a matte appearance that helps reduce glare and makes the fold crease harder to see. Anyone who has struggled to read a glossy screen near a sunny window might appreciate this approach.

Samsung's screen has a more traditional glossy finish, which can make colors appear richer. Some early iPhone Duo reviews suggest Apple's matte display sacrifices a little contrast and vibrancy to achieve its reduced reflections. Neither approach will appeal to everyone. However, Apple has another interesting feature coming.

Apple Pencil support could give the Duo an edge

The iPhone Duo now supports the Apple Pencil (USB-C) through iOS 27.2, which Apple released on Oct. 26. That means you can sketch or annotate documents directly on the folding screen. The feature already works in the software's release candidate.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 does not support the S Pen. Samsung removed the feature as it pursued thinner folding designs. There is one catch with Apple's approach. The Duo works only with the USB-C Apple Pencil. Even if you already own an Apple Pencil Pro, you won't be able to use it with this phone.

The USB-C version also lacks the pressure sensitivity available on more advanced Apple Pencil models. Still, this could be useful for someone who regularly signs documents or prefers handwritten notes.

Samsung still understands multitasking better

Here's where those seven years of Samsung experience become apparent. Let's say you're on a video call and someone sends you an important document. You want to review it without interrupting the conversation. Then you need to check your calendar. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 can handle several apps on its larger screen. You can run three apps in split-screen mode, and Samsung also offers pop-up windows for additional flexibility. The Fold 8 supports Samsung DeX, too, giving you a desktop-style experience when connected to compatible external displays.

Apple has introduced Split View on the Duo, allowing two apps to run side by side. That's a first for the iPhone, and it should make the larger screen far more useful. However, Apple's approach remains more restrictive than Samsung's. Split View uses a fixed arrangement, and you don't get the same floating-window flexibility. There's another issue that early iPhone Duo owners are discovering.

Some iPhone apps aren't ready for the bigger screen

Apple redesigned iOS 27 for the Duo, which ships with iOS 27.1. Its own apps have been adapted to use the folding display. However, some third-party apps haven't caught up. Early reviewers found that certain apps display large black bars or awkward layouts when opened on the bigger screen. That could be frustrating when you've paid so much for additional screen space.

Fortunately, developers can update their apps to support the Duo's design. Some popular apps have already received updates, and more are expected. For now, though, Samsung has a more established folding software experience. I would also pay attention to which apps you use most. A larger screen loses some of its appeal when your favorite apps still behave as though they're running on a much smaller phone.

Apple's battery life delivers a welcome surprise

Folding phones have a difficult job. They need enough battery power to run a large display without becoming too bulky. Apple's iPhone Duo uses two internal batteries and an A20 Pro processor designed for efficient performance. Samsung equips its Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a 4,800mAh battery and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.

Both processors offer plenty of power for demanding apps. However, early independent testing suggests Apple has a surprising advantage when it comes to battery life. In one battery test involving continuous web browsing over 5G, the iPhone Duo reportedly lasted 13 hours and 20 minutes, compared with 10 hours and 6 minutes for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. That's more than three additional hours for Apple.

Another independent test produced encouraging results for the Duo. While streaming video over Wi-Fi with the larger screens at maximum brightness, Apple's foldable reportedly lasted 18 hours and 15 minutes, compared with 16 hours and 30 minutes for Samsung. Although the tests used different methods, both suggest Apple has managed to squeeze impressive battery life out of its first folding phone.

Apple officially claims up to 31 hours of video playback using the inner display. However, that figure comes from controlled laboratory testing, so everyday results will vary depending on how you use the phone.

Charging is another consideration. Apple says the Duo can reach 50% in about 20 minutes with a compatible wired charger. Samsung supports 45W wired charging and fast wireless charging. For anyone who spends long days traveling or regularly finds their battery running low before dinner, Apple's early results are encouraging.

A $2,000 folding phone still comes with camera compromises

For nearly $2,000, you'd expect a phone with an incredible camera. And while both of these foldables take excellent photos, there's a catch. Apple's iPhone Duo has two 48MP rear cameras, while Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 has two 50MP cameras. Neither has a dedicated telephoto lens, which means you're giving up some of the zoom capabilities found on other premium phones.

Think about trying to get a close-up shot of your child playing soccer or capturing something interesting in the distance while on vacation. Apple's Duo offers 2x optical-quality zoom by cropping into its main sensor. Samsung uses a similar approach, with digital zoom for subjects farther away. Both can handle everyday photos, but if you love getting those close-up shots, an iPhone 18 Pro Max or Galaxy S26 Ultra may be a better choice.

Here's where Samsung throws another option into the mix. Its Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99, just $100 more than Apple's Duo at their regular starting prices. For that extra money, you get a 200MP main camera and a dedicated telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. That's worth considering if you want a folding phone but aren't willing to give up a more versatile camera. And with Samsung already offering discounts on some models, you may not even have to spend more.

Apple has some fun camera features Samsung can't match exactly

Ever try taking a group photo and realize you're the one missing from it? Apple's Smart Take could help with that. Just prop open the iPhone Duo, get into the picture and let its AI recognize when everyone is posing. The phone automatically snaps the photo, so there's no racing against a timer or asking someone else to take the shot.

Then there's Duo Preview, which lets the person you're photographing see themselves on the outside screen. That could save you from hearing, "Wait, let me see that one," after every picture. Apple also came up with Kid Cue, which plays Peanuts animations on the outer display to get children to look toward the camera. If you've ever tried getting a toddler to cooperate for a family photo, you can probably appreciate that one.

Samsung has a few tricks of its own. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 can show people a preview on its outer screen, and you can prop it partially open for hands-free photos. That comes in handy when you want to be in the picture instead of always being the one taking it.

The most expensive iPhone Duo surprise could come after you buy it

Now let's talk about something that deserves far more attention than it usually receives. Repairs. Apple rates the iPhone Duo IP68 for dust and water resistance, while Samsung gives the Galaxy Z Fold 8 an IP48 rating. That gives Apple stronger protection against dust under standardized laboratory testing. However, neither rating guarantees that a folding screen or hinge will survive years of rough treatment. These phones also contain more moving parts than conventional smartphones. And if something goes wrong, the repair costs can be substantial.

There's another reason to think carefully about durability. As we reported in our article, Apple confirms iPhone Duo screen problems after launch. Some owners experienced cracks along the inner screen near the hinge within hours or days of purchase, sometimes during initial setup. Apple acknowledged an issue affecting a small number of devices and directed affected customers to contact AppleCare for replacements. The company hasn't identified the cause or disclosed how many phones are affected. An AppleCare+ subscription isn't required to request a replacement for this acknowledged issue. Still, it's something I'd consider before spending nearly $2,000 on a first-generation folding iPhone.

According to Apple's published repair estimates, replacing the iPhone Duo's damaged inner display costs $999 without AppleCare+. That's roughly half the cost of the entry-level phone. Apple also lists an estimated $1,499 charge for certain other damage repairs. There is some relief for minor screen damage. Apple's replaceable inner display cover layer costs $49 to replace without AppleCare+, provided the damage is limited to that layer. AppleCare+ can significantly reduce eligible repair charges. For example, an inner display repair is listed at $99 under the coverage, subject to the plan's terms. Of course, the coverage itself adds to the cost of ownership.

Samsung's folding phones also have specialized displays and hinges that can be expensive to repair. However, repair pricing varies by model, damage and coverage. This is one area where I'd encourage anyone considering either phone to look beyond the advertised purchase price. After all, a $2,000 phone is expensive enough without worrying about what happens if it slips out of your hand and you're suddenly facing a repair bill approaching $1,000.

Another iPhone Duo change could surprise travelers

Apple has made the iPhone Duo eSIM-only worldwide. That means you won't find a physical SIM card slot. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 supports both eSIM and a physical nano-SIM card, although configurations may vary by market.

For most people in the United States, this probably won't be an obstacle. Major carriers support eSIM, and many international providers offer digital plans. However, if you travel frequently and prefer buying physical SIM cards at your destination, Samsung gives you more flexibility. It's worth checking whether your preferred mobile provider supports eSIM before buying the Duo.

iPhone Duo or Galaxy Z Fold 8: Which should you buy?

If you've been waiting years for a folding iPhone, Apple's Duo is an appealing first attempt. It offers excellent early battery performance, an impressive display and the convenience of staying within Apple's ecosystem. However, I wouldn't overlook Samsung. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is significantly lighter, costs a little less and offers more flexible multitasking. Those advantages could become increasingly important once the excitement of owning a new folding phone wears off.

And here's something else to consider. If most of your day involves texting or checking email, you may spend far more time using the smaller outer screen than you expect. The larger display becomes especially useful when you frequently review documents or watch videos while traveling.

Before buying either phone, think about how much time you would realistically spend with it unfolded. Also, if you're considering switching between Apple and Samsung, take a look at our guide on how to transfer data to a new iPhone or Android at CyberGuy.com. It can help make the move considerably easier.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO ORGANIZE PHOTOS WITH KEYWORDS ON YOUR PHONE

Kurt's key takeaways

I have to give Samsung credit. Seven years ago, folding phones seemed like an expensive experiment, and I wasn't convinced they'd ever catch on. But Samsung stuck with the idea, and now Apple has finally joined the party. I like what Apple's done with the iPhone Duo, especially the display and those impressive early battery results. Still, I keep coming back to the price. Nearly $2,000 for a phone that's heavier than Samsung's and doesn't have a dedicated telephoto camera? That's a tough sell. And the possibility of a $999 inner screen repair would certainly make me nervous.

I also wouldn't count Samsung out just because Apple has entered the race. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is noticeably lighter, and Samsung has spent years figuring out how to make that larger screen useful. Being able to run more apps at once is a nice advantage, especially if you're someone who likes getting work done on your phone. And let's face it, a lighter phone is something you'll appreciate long after the excitement of showing everyone how it folds has worn off.

If I were spending this kind of money, I'd want to see how Apple's first folding iPhone holds up after a few months of everyday use. I'd also want to hold both phones before deciding. But here's what I keep wondering. How often would I really open that larger screen? If I ended up using the smaller outside display most of the day, I'd have a hard time convincing myself that spending $2,000 was worth it.

Would you really spend $2,000 on a folding phone, or do you think Apple and Samsung are charging us more to solve a problem we never had? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

NCAA basketball betting picks for Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas on their opening night games

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:36:44 -0500

The NCAA basketball season kicked off last night, and there were some pretty exciting games. Unfortunately, for today, I can't say we have a ton of great games on the schedule. Most of them are between top-level squads and some lower-level clubs. That doesn't mean we can't make the games entertaining with some sports betting.

We won our game last night, so let's get another one or two here as we put a play on a few of tonight's games.

Wofford vs. Tennessee

Let me spoil this one a bit for you; it would take everything going correctly for Wofford to pull off a victory against the Volunteers. That doesn't mean it is impossible. If movies like "The Little Giants" have taught us anything, it is that there is always that one time when the underdog can come out on top. It won't happen tonight, though. Tennessee lost a bunch of guys to the NBA and to the transfer portal, but they rest their team with eight transfers and top-tier freshmen. Their transfer class was ranked second in the nation. The question will be about how quickly this team can gel and get everything connected. Wofford is in the same boat, bringing in nine new players. There are some key returning players, which might give them the edge in the first half of the game. I don't expect Wofford to win, or this to end closely, but I do think the first half could be one the Terriers cover because of the continuity of their team compared to what Tennessee will have. Take the +14.5 in the first half.

NO. 1 FLORIDA GATORS FACE NO. 14 MIAMI HURRICANES IN TOP MATCHUP AS COLLEGE BASKETBALL TIPS OFF

Sam Houston vs. Alabama

One of the things most people don't realize about the transfer portal is just how much it impacts the lower-level colleges. Sam Houston and programs like theirs tend to lose anyone who has a breakout year. Their team has some pretty good players still, but depth might be an issue. Alabama has a solid returning core of four guys, and Aden Holloway will lead the offense again. Amari Allen will get more exposure after earning minutes last year.

This is a talented Alabama team, and they've added some good pieces. This game is being played in Tuscaloosa, so they will have a nice home-court advantage as well. I think the Crimson Tide will take this game and cover the big spread. Give me Alabama -26.5. Their pace and Holloway give me confidence that this offense should look good.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions vs. Arkansas

I won't pretend I know much about Arkansas-Pine Bluff. I know about as much as you do, and that's all thanks to the AI of your choice giving you details. However, I do know a bit about Arkansas and what they are looking to do. This is yet another Coach Cal team, so you know that it will focus on high-upside freshmen. Gone is Darius Acuff Jr., who is shooting a million shots per night in the NBA. Billy Richmond III is back and should be a nice combo forward. They have a solid center in Paulo Semedo, who will bring rim protection and get some easy buckets. Miikka Murrinen should be similar to Lauri Markkanen, and not just because they are both Finnish. I think Arkansas will rack up points, but asking them to put up 105 points seems like a big ask for the first game of the season. I expect Cal to work on key plays and things in the game rather than just run the pace up. Go under 104.5 for the Razorbacks team total.

Michigan voters make surprising cross-party choices as Rogers, El-Sayed race reaches final hours

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:25:27 -0500

Michigan voters showed the swinginess of their state in conversations with Fox News the day before the midterm elections, with one former Democrat firmly backing GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers and a lifelong Republican holding his nose to vote for Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat.

After casting a ballot for Rogers, voter Marjorie Mehney said she was a Democrat "years ago" and would be "embarrassed to be one today" with candidates like El-Sayed representing the party.

However, she pointed out that El-Sayed has won over many voters in her hometown of Petoskey, located in Emmet County, where President Donald Trump took more than 55% of the vote in 2024.

"The majority are Republican. However, there's a great deal of signage for Abdul. So it's very mixed. We've never seen anything like the support that's going on with signs in front yards," Mehney told Fox News in downtown Rochester.

ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION

When asked if she knew why there had been a shift toward El-Sayed, she said she had "no idea" and called the momentum he is experiencing in her community "a bit shocking."

"They are people I've known and never knew that they felt this way that Abdul does," she said. "It's a little concerning."

Mehney predicted that El-Sayed will prevail over Rogers on Tuesday, but warned that Michigan voters will come to regret sending him to the Senate.

I'M DR ABDUL EL-SAYED. THIS IS WHY I WANT MICHIGAN'S VOTE FOR SENATE

Another voter, Tom Wright, told Fox News that he voted for El-Sayed despite disagreeing with him on "60% to 70% of his policy positions."

"I cannot bring myself to vote for a Trump minion under any circumstances," Wright said, referring to Rogers.

Rogers left Congress before Trump launched his first presidential campaign, representing Michigan's 8th District from 2001 to 2015, meaning he has no congressional voting record on Trump's legislative agenda across either of his two terms.

Rogers has made his position clear on a series of Trump policies. For instance, he backed the Iran war in its early stages and has supported giving presidents broad authority to impose reciprocal tariffs, as Trump did.

TRUMP DOMINATES EL-SAYED'S ATTACKS AGAINST ROGERS, BUT GOP RIVAL OFFERS UNEXPECTED POLICY SPLIT

However, as the Senate campaign entered its final stretch, Rogers has distanced himself with Trump on both issues. In late September, he released an ad calling for a quick end to the Iran war, and in early October, another ad of his demanded an end to the "tariff war" with Canada.

Wright, who described himself as "a lifelong Republican," said Rogers' shifts on those issues were not enough to win his support.

Wright argued that the GOP is "too far toward Trump" and that "Mike Rogers won't stop it."

"The litmus test is, are people willing to hold their nose and vote for Abdul because they are so appalled by Trump? Not that they like Abdul or are a progressive," Wright said.

EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS

When asked about his reservations about El-Sayed, Wright said he doesn't like his stance on Israel and Palestinians.

"I don't think he has sufficiently disavowed elements that I consider divisive. A man is judged by the company he keeps and he keeps some pretty bad company," Wright said. "Nonetheless, he is one senator out of 100. I don't care what he says he's going to do. He can't do a damn thing. And if some sanity returns to the Republican Party in six years, I can vote for the opposition."

A third Michigan voter, Gerald, said he was planning to split his ticket, telling Fox News he would vote for Rogers for Senate and Democrat Jocelyn Benson for governor.

Gerald wasn't comfortable voting for El-Sayed because he heard he is a "communist."

As in past midterm elections, Michigan could play a pivotal role in determining control of Congress. Polls are open across the state Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with voters still able to cast a ballot as long as they are in line by the time polls close.

Navigation is straightforward, featuring a top horizontal slider for major leagues and quick-access tabs for live in-play betting, current promotions, and your active bet slip.

On desktop, BetMGM presents a spacious three-column layout that makes building parlays or analyzing game markets seamless without jumping between pages. This is very helpful if you’re not 100% sure what you want to bet on when you first come to the site. It can be a bit hard to navigate at first, and the site is bulky, so if you don’t have cookies on or don’t visit often, you may get frustrated with load times.

BetMGM User Reviews

BetMGM holds strong sentiment overall across major app marketplaces. Positive user feedback frequently highlights the seamless integration with MGM Rewards, generous daily odds boosts, and reliable payout processing. Negative reviews focus primarily on occasional app lag during high-volume sports hours, strict geolocation checks, and a slightly higher learning curve for absolute beginners navigating the deep prop menus. It is hard to identify why Android users like the app much less than iPhone users.

Standout BetMGM Features

MGM Rewards Integration: If you’re planning a trip to Las Vegas or another MGM Resorts destination, you’re in luck. Eligible BetMGM rewards can be used during your visit.
Edit My Bet: Modifying a wager in the middle of a bet is a nice advantage for users. This is not something always available, but when it is, it is worth using.
Easy Parlay Builder: A dedicated interface that streamlines building standard or Same Game Parlays across various sports on a single screen.

BetMGM Odds, Markets, and Market Depth

BetMGM shines in its expansive market variety. Beyond comprehensive coverage of mainstream U.S. sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, College Sports), it delivers extensive global options like European soccer leagues, tennis, golf, rugby, and cricket. Market depth is particularly strong for player prop alternatives and game futures, with pricing that consistently competes with top-tier sportsbooks.

BetMGM Deposits, Withdrawals, and Payout Speed

BetMGM supports online banking, debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, VIP Preferred ACH and cash withdrawals at participating MGM properties. Withdrawal requests are typically reviewed within 24 hours, while e-wallet payouts are generally the fastest option.

Our Take on BetMGM

BetMGM’s biggest advantage is its connection to MGM Rewards, giving bettors a reason to use the book beyond the app itself. The mobile experience can feel heavier than some other sportsbooks, but BetMGM offers a deep menu of mainstream and international markets.
Final take: A strong choice for bettors who want a full sportsbook and rewards they can use at MGM properties.

FanDuel

FanDuel has grown well beyond its daily fantasy roots and is now one of the biggest sportsbooks in the country. Bettors like the app’s clean navigation, frequent odds boosts and wide selection of markets, making it an easy option for both newcomers and experienced players.

FanDuel Betting App and Site Experience

FanDuel’s app is clean and easy to navigate.

The bet slip is simple enough for newcomers without getting in the way of more experienced bettors. The desktop site is easy to use, but finding a specific market can take more digging than it does on some competing sportsbooks. You may have to move through multiple categories before reaching the exact prop or bet type you want. It’s a minor issue, but bettors who prefer to compare several markets quickly may find the layout a little less efficient.

Sports Betting Apps and Sites FAQ

What is the best sports betting app in 2026?

The best sports betting sites offer different advantages, so the right choice depends on the odds, promos and features you value most. Each sportsbook offers fairly similar betting options, but the lines can be drastically different. There are also plenty of welcome and promo offers to evaluate before choosing the right app for you.

Are betting apps and betting sites different?

Typically, the navigation will be slightly different. Some sites, like Fanatics, are built more for mobile accessibility than desktop navigation. For the most part, though, all offerings are the same on both channels. Most betting apps and desktop sites use the same account and offer access to the same basic sportsbook markets.

Can I use the same account on the app and the website?

Yes, you can use the same account for the sportsbetting app. You can typically register for the sportsbook on either the app or desktop.

Do sports betting apps and sites offer the same odds?

Yes. The app and website for a sportsbook should offer the same odds. However, the odds will vary between betting sites such as FanDuel.

Can I sign up for more than one sportsbook?

Yes, you can sign up for more than one sportsbook as long as each book is legal in your state and you meet its eligibility requirements. Using multiple betting sites also lets you compare lines and find the best price before placing a wager.

Which sportsbook has the fastest payouts?

Almost all sportsbooks now pay out within 24–48 hours of the request. Larger payouts may require more time to process.

Are sports betting apps legal in every state?

No. Although sports betting has expanded rapidly, many states still do not have legal sports betting apps. Check your state’s current laws before signing up or placing a wager.

Which sports betting app is safest?

Legal sports betting apps use identity verification, geolocation and security protections to keep accounts safe. The safest choice comes down to using a regulated sportsbook in your state and choosing an app you trust.

MICHAEL RUIZ: Mangione’s new argument to escape NY murder case: Same gun, same killing, same prosecution

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:07:01 -0500

Luigi Mangione's lawyers are doubling down on their double jeopardy defense in their fight to have the admitted assassin spared from New York murder charges after admitting to what they say was essentially the same crime in federal court.

Murder is the same evil as stalking with intent to kill — and then killing, they argued.

The claims came in response to Manhattan prosecutors who have asked a New York judge to reject his bid to drop his state-level charges following a federal guilty plea in which he admitted to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two who Mangione shot in the back outside a Hilton hotel in the middle of the Big Apple.

BRAVE WIDOW OF SLAIN UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON COMES FACE TO FACE WITH LUIGI MANGIONE FOR FIRST TIME

Prosecutors have said that since Mangione was not prosecuted for federal firearms offenses, there is no double jeopardy if the state level ones remain on the table. They argued that the murder charges should still go forward because although Mangione admitted to killing Thompson, that's not the same "harm or evil" involved in the federal stalking charges. And they argued that even though Mangione withdrew a potential "extreme emotional disturbance" defense specific to Empire State law, that doesn't mean the federal case prevented him from using it.

Mangione's lawyers, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, attacked all three arguments in a reply made public over the weekend.

LUIGI MANGIONE PLEA BUZZ RAISES POTENTIAL PAUL MANAFORT PROBLEM FOR PROSECUTORS

READ the defense reply:

First, they argued that although the federal firearms charges were dismissed, he was still "prosecuted" for them, putting him at risk of double jeopardy.

"The statutory definition of being 'prosecuted' for an offense does not require that the defendant plead guilty to that specific offense," Mangione's lawyers wrote.

LUIGI MANGIONE HEARING SET FOR FRIDAY STIRS PLEA DEAL SPECULATION IN HIS FEDERAL CASE

Their client pleaded guilty to two federal charges, although he'd initially faced more.

FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X

"In other words, when Mangione pleaded guilty to the federal indictment, the criminal action in which he had been charged with possession and use of the firearm was terminated for statutory double jeopardy purposes," they wrote.

SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS

They also argued that stalking Thompson with intent to kill him is the same "core misconduct" as murdering him. In order to get around New York's double jeopardy law, which is more restrictive than the U.S. Constitution, prosecutors need to show that the state charges are meant to prevent different "harms or evils" than the federal ones he already pleaded guilty to.

"One of the harms clearly addressed by the expansive federal stalking statute is stalking with the intent to kill and resulting in the killing of the person stalked," Mangione's lawyers wrote. "It is a statute that, like a state murder statute, is intended to keep people safe from being murdered — the oldest crime there is."

LUIGI MANGIONE'S TEAM FIRES BACK AT PLEA DEAL REPORT, CALLS LEAKS THREAT TO FAIR TRIAL

They argued that while the federal stalking charge includes other elements, including interstate travel and the use of electronic communications, they are "not related" to the core evil of the crime, which is killing someone.

GOT A TIP?

MANHATTAN DA'S OFFICE SAYS LUIGI MANGIONE DEFENSE SPREAD FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT MURDER TRIAL MEDIA PLAN

"Travel and electronics are not the evils or harms being prevented," they wrote. "The federal government does have an interest, however, in preventing people from [traveling] or using electronics as part of the crime of killing another person, or intending to do so. That is what makes the stalking statute similar to the murder statute in terms of the evils or harms both are looking to prevent."

Jon Rahm open to accepting Brooks Koepka-like penalties in order to return to PGA Tour after LIV Golf exit

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:06:39 -0500

Jon Rahm spoke to the media for the first time since announcing his exit from LIV Golf last month, and while he spoke vaguely about why he left the breakaway circuit, he also sent a clear message to the PGA Tour about his future.

The two-time major champion is teeing it up in this week's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, the penultimate event on the DP World Tour calendar. While it marks his first start since officially leaving LIV Golf, the talk in the media center wasn't about the golf to be played this week, per se, but instead about both his past and future.

With LIV Golf losing its Saudi funding and later filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, the future of the circuit still remains entirely unknown. As Rahm alluded to, those uncertainties involving "LIV 2.0" were too overwhelming to ignore.

RORY MCILROY CALLS LIV GOLF 'HALF A GOOD IDEA' BEFORE SAYING HE'D VOTE YES ON HAVING PLAYERS RETURN TO TOUR

"Too many unknowns at the time and there are still quite a few," Rahm said in Abu Dhabi. "It seemed like it was going away from team golf and some of the things that made LIV, LIV. It just became more of a regular tour. It wasn't really ever much of a consideration, to be honest."

Rahm's claim that the potential removal of the team golf aspect – and that LIV turning into a "regular tour" – impacted his decision to leave feels wildly disingenuous. On the flip side, bashing the circuit that paid you hundreds of millions of dollars and happens to be in bankruptcy proceedings would be a bit harsh.

Rahm, like the majority of his counterparts who have left LIV Golf, plans to play on the DP World Tour in 2027 and in all four major championships. It's no secret that the Spaniard would like to return to the PGA Tour sooner rather than later.

At this moment in time, the Tour is not offering an immediate, penalty-free pathway back for players to return, but that doesn't mean Rahm doesn't have an idea in mind.

At the start of 2026, Brooks Koepka left LIV Golf and returned to the Tour under a then-offered Returning Member Program. The five-time major winner had to agree to forfeit any player equity shares for the next five years, was not eligible for the $100 million FedEx Cup bonus program in 2026, and agreed to make a $5 million donation to charity.

Rahm, who earned more than $100 million on the course alone in four years with LIV, wouldn't mind being offered a similar deal.

"Most likely, yeah. Why not? Yeah, but it's a big if," Rahm said, when asked if he would accept a Koepka-like deal. "I seriously doubt I get offered the same deal that Brooks did. But yeah, if I got offered exactly the same penalties as him, I probably would do it."

Rahm was eligible to return via the previously offered Returning Members Program that Koepka jumped on. The Tour offering the exact same pathway back a second time for Rahm is hard to imagine.

Rahm could be left with only one option for a return to the PGA Tour, which would include a one-year suspension before becoming eligible again. Former Masters champion Patrick Reed took the one-year suspension route earlier this year.

JACKSON THOMPSON: Father of Michigan volleyball player blasts El-Sayed for '60 Minutes' girls' sports remark

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 11:05:51 -0500

The father of a Michigan volleyball player suing over a transgender opponent blasted Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s "60 Minutes" remarks, saying his family’s experience shows the dispute is far from manufactured.

"Mr. El-Sayed, how can you look my daughter in the eyes and call this a manufactured issue? She is living this fight," Sean Lechner, father of Monroe High School volleyball player Briley Lechner, said in a statement.

"Our entire family has lived it for a year, and it’s a living hell!! it is far from over."

MICHIGAN TEEN VOLLEYBALL PLAYER FILES LAWSUIT AFTER SHE UNKNOWINGLY SHARED LOCKER ROOM WITH TRANS ATHLETE

Lechner’s response followed an exchange in El-Sayed’s extended interview with Ross Douthat. Douthat asked about parental control over education, including transgender students’ participation on sports teams, and how to resolve situations in which rights conflict.

"I don't know that that's actually true," El-Sayed responded. "I think we manufacture these social issues..."

El-Sayed argued that smartphones make it unrealistic for parents to prevent children from encountering information they find objectionable. He later said eligibility decisions should belong to sports governing bodies.

"I'm not running to govern sports," he said.

For the Lechners, the issue has led to federal litigation.

Briley and her father filed suit Oct. 9 against Monroe Public Schools, the Michigan High School Athletic Association and district officials. Their attorneys at the Thomas More Law Center allege officials knew before a Sept. 9, 2025, match that Ann Arbor Skyline’s girls’ volleyball team included a transgender athlete, but did not tell Monroe players or parents. The suit also alleges the opposing player was permitted to use the girls’ locker-room facilities without Monroe athletes being informed.

MICHIGAN FATHER ALLEGES BOMB THREAT TO HOME AFTER DAUGHTER SPOKE UP ABOUT FACING TRANS ATHLETE WITHOUT KNOWING

The district deemed the family’s Title IX allegations unsubstantiated. The lawsuit challenges that determination and the handling of their appeal.

"I find your statement disgusting. You undermine female athletes and disrespect families who deserve answers," Lechner said of El-Sayed’s remarks.

"My daughter’s privacy, dignity and right to fair competition deserve more than your manufactured, political talking points."

El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate election Tuesday. In the interview, El-Sayed argued that culture-war disputes distract from economic concerns, including groceries, gas and access to medical care.

Lechner urged voters to put their children ahead of party loyalty.

"My faith and my family come first. I pray every Michigander votes for the person, not the party, and demands leaders with the courage to protect our children," he said.

"Our daughters should never pay the price for a politician’s cowardice—and I’ll make damn sure my voice, my vote and my fight for my daughter are impossible to ignore!!!"

Trump says Israel will stop receiving $4B in US aid by year's end, can still buy weapons

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 08:46:30 -0500

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that U.S. aid to Israel would end at the close of the year, arguing that the country no longer needs the assistance and can purchase its own weapons.

"We were giving them $4 billion – we are – but it gets cut off at the end of the year," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday in an Election Day morning announcement.

Trump acknowledged the political nature of the news, pointing to Michigan's battleground Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers.

NETANYAHU REVEALS HE WANTS AMERICAN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL TO 'DRAW DOWN TO ZERO'

"Why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don't need it?" Trump said. "It's a bad talking point."

The support included "things and money," according to Trump, calling it military aid, cash or "barter." He said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed ending the assistance for years, adding that Netanyahu raised the idea.

"They don’t need it," Trump said. "Israel's our number one. We give them more than anybody else, and they no longer need it."

"Israel is a very thriving country," he added.

NETANYAHU DETAILS 'FINAL' CONVERSATION WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM, SAYS SENATOR CHALLENGED HIS PUSH TO END ISRAEL AID

The current U.S.-Israel security assistance agreement provides about $3.8 billion annually through 2028. Netanyahu has previously said he wants to phase out Israel’s reliance on U.S. military aid, though the timing and terms of any change to the agreement have not been detailed.

Trump said the assistance had become a political target, adding that Netanyahu understood "this is one of their points of contention."

"If you think we're going to continue receiving what I secured twice, and that's tens of billions of dollars in American aid for the defense budget, prepare yourselves and get used to the fact that it won't happen because America has changed," Netanyahu said in an interview with an Israeli television channel in October.

The $4 billion referred to military hardware or cash, according to Trump.

NETANYAHU DEFIES EXIT POLLS AS VOTE SHIFTS IN HIS FAVOR, BUT MAJORITY REMAINS ELUSIVE

"I’m going to put it in any way you want to define it," Trump said. "You can consider it barter. You can consider military aid or cash. It’s what we give them — $4 billion of things and money, and they don’t need it."

Trump negotiated the new deal with Netanyahu, who is also facing a difficult election season with his future still up in the air as the balance of power in the Knesset tries to settle on a coalition government amid multifront wars with terrorists and Iran.

"I was approached by Bibi Netanyahu, and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years because it’s a lot of money," he said. "He brought it up. He said, ‘I think it would be appropriate if we do not receive aid.’"

EL-SAYED’S SCATHING OBAMA CRITIQUE RESURFACES AHEAD OF JOINT CAMPAIGN RALLY

Congress passed a law in 2020 authorizing the funding for Israel, but the Senate and House must still pass appropriations bills every year to distribute and release the funds.

Israel can still buy U.S. weapons, Trump stressed.

Austin tech founder killed with wife and children in Florida jet crash had reached a $10M business milestone

Tue, 03 Nov 2026 10:51:19 -0500

An Austin tech founder who was killed alongside his wife and two young children in a fiery Florida jet crash had just celebrated a major business milestone and was making plans for a live event Tuesday in what became his final LinkedIn post.

Adam Robinson, 45, his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, and their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were among nine people killed Sunday when the Learjet 60 carrying them from Austin to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas plunged into a Palm Beach County neighborhood.

On the day of the crash, Robinson wrote that RB2B had reached $10 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR).

"RB2B is $10m ARR with 1 FTE," Robinson wrote. "MoltSets is almost $1m ARR."

Two months earlier, Robinson said RB2B was generating $9.5 million in annual recurring revenue and described reaching $10 million with a small team as "the promised land."

Robinson was CEO and co-founder of Retention.com, an Austin-based company that helps businesses identify people who visit their websites and reach them with advertising and marketing.

The company later launched RB2B, which helps businesses identify potential customers visiting their websites. Robinson also led MoltSets, which provides business contact information, including work emails and phone numbers.

In his final post, Robinson described a debate with friend Jesse Ouellette over whether RB2B and MoltSets should remain separate or be combined.

Robinson wrote that Ouellette believed combining them could reduce customer turnover and double revenue, while he favored keeping the products separate.

"My question: WHY DO I NEED TO DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS?" Robinson wrote.

"Honestly, I'd be thrilled if RB2B never grew another dollar," he added.

The two planned to settle their disagreement during a live debate Tuesday on "Claude Did What!!??"

"So we're settling it LIVE," Robinson wrote.

"There's much more to his argument, but I'm saving it for Tuesday," he added. "Grab some popcorn and pick a side."
