Second Amendment fight moves beyond guns with Supreme Court poised for big ruling

Two federal court rulings Wednesday extending Second Amendment protections to switchblade knives and body armor have fueled optimism among gun-rights advocates ahead of a major Supreme Court showdown over bans on AR-15-style rifles. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a federal law restricting the interstate commerce of switchblade knives violated the Second Amendment , while a federal judge in the Western District of New York struck down New York’s restrictions on personal body armor. In both cases, the courts determined that switchblades and body armor qualify as constitutionally protected "arms." The twin rulings come as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County, a case that could determine whether AR-15-style rifles qualify as "arms" protected by the Second Amendment. National Association for Gun Rights President Dudley Brown, whose organization filed an amicus brief in Viramontes, said a Supreme Court ruling agains...

Craig Carton explains why the NFL has some questions to ask after bizarre moment in Bears-Patriots game

Sports betting is a big part of the sports experience these days, and unfortunately, that will lead to questions about the game's integrity, as OutKick's Craig Carton pointed out on Friday's edition of " The Craig Carton Show ." The Chicago Bears took on the New England Patriots on Thursday, and there was a certain play late in the first half that caught Carton's attention. Patriots running back Rhamondre Stephenson caught a screen pass at midfield and somehow took it all the way to the house for a late touchdown with no time left on the clock. But it was what Bears DB Malik Muhammad did on the play that had Carton asking questions. RHAMONDRE STEVENSON'S MIRACULOUS 48-YARD TOUCHDOWN STUNS BEARS AS CLOCK EXPIRES IN FIRST HALF Did... did Muhammad turn and run in the complete opposite direction that Stephenson was headed? Well, it's at least worth asking some questions. NBA AND MANY SPORTSBOOKS AGREE TO BAN MULTIPLE TYPES OF BETS DUE TO RECENT BETTING SC...

Rangers vs Toronto Maple Leafs preview favors the under as both teams tighten defensively

I don't put a ton of hockey plays out, mostly because it isn't a sport I follow overly closely until the playoffs. And because, especially around now, the NBA is in action, the NFL has a game tonight, the World Series starts tomorrow, and College Football is basically every day. Unfortunately, the NHL tends to be put in the back seat. It has been a fun early season, though. I've got a play tonight, but just take this as a mild warning that hockey isn't my best sport. Tonight we have a play on the Rangers vs. Maple Leafs game. The New York Rangers come into this game as one of the best teams in hockey with a 7-3-1 record, but all three of their losses and the one overtime loss came on the road. They started the season rather hot, but they have cooled off a bit over the past few games. They were 6-2-0 for the year and over the past three games, they've gone 1-1-1. The ugliest by far was the loss to the Devils; they allowed seven goals in that game, and outside of th...

US pulls personnel from Saudi Arabia as kingdom comes under Houthi fire

The Trump administration has ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia as deadly Houthi attacks intensify across the kingdom, raising the stakes as President Donald Trump weighs direct military action against the Iran-backed group. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott confirmed Wednesday that the mandatory departure order applies only to Saudi Arabia, pushing back on reports that Washington was preparing a broader evacuation of diplomatic personnel across the Gulf. "The U.S. Department of State issued an ordered departure for non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only," Pigott said. HOW SAUDI ARABIA'S DEFENSE VULNERABILITIES COULD BECOME TRUMP'S PROBLEM AMID HOUTHI ONSLAUGHT The order comes amid a surge in Houthi missile and drone attacks that has left civilians dead, disrupted air travel and sent Saudi Arabia scrambling for additional missile defenses. "Iranian-supp...

Common disorder linked to 70% higher death rate, but medication may offer protection

People diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) face a roughly 71% higher overall risk of early death compared to those without the condition, according to a new review published in JAMA Network Open. However, taking prescription ADHD medication may offer a protective benefit, lowering overall risk of death, the review found. Researchers analyzed data from 19 observational studies involving nearly 16 million people across three continents to evaluate the long-term effects associated with the condition. DEMENTIA RISK MORE THAN QUADRUPLES AMONG ADULTS WITH COMMON DISORDER The review considered both unnatural causes of death, such as injuries and suicide, and natural causes, including physical health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Across all categories, individuals with ADHD experienced elevated mortality rates compared to those without the diagnosis. "We found that people with ADHD face an increased risk not only of death by suicide and...

SEC's crazy, history-making Week 7 weekend is the latest example of college football's new era

Week seven of the college football season was everything fans love about the sport. Chaos. Rivalries, like Tennessee-Alabama and Auburn-Georgia. Upsets, with BYU taking down Notre Dame in front of an exuberant home crowd in Provo. And debate over what it all means for the rest of the year. Not one team ranked in the AP Top 25 poll in week six stayed in the same position in the week seven poll. Texas dropped 12 spots. Florida gained 12. Multiple other schools moved up or down at least six positions, with Missouri falling a whopping nine places after their blowout loss to Ole Miss. But no stat better exemplifies the chaos of week seven better than this one. Tom Fornelli from CBS Sports posted on X this week that, "The SEC is the first conference this century to have 5 AP Top-20 teams lose in the same week." WEEK 7 AP TOP 25 POLL FEATURES A COMPLETE SHUFFLE AFTER CHAOTIC WEEKEND, WITH MIAMI TAKING OVER THE TOP SPOT We're just a few months away from completing our 26th yea...

Rams kicker Blake Grupe knocks himself out of his debut with a disastrous tackle attempt

Within a week, the Los Angeles Rams waived a kicker for blowing an overtime game-winner against Buffalo, signed Blake Grupe as his replacement, watched Grupe hit a 44-yarder on his first drive, and then lost him to a self-inflicted knee injury on the very next play. Grupe initially delivered on Sunday, capping the offense's opening drive with a successful 44-yard field goal. That momentum vanished seconds later on the ensuing kickoff. Grupe was the last line of defense as Arizona Cardinals returner Devin Duvernay broke through the coverage, and the 5-foot-7 kicker aggressively lowered his shoulder to force Duvernay out of bounds at the 47-yard line. The collision left Grupe on all fours, grimacing in pain. Trainers took Grupe to the blue medical tent before he retreated to the locker room with a knee injury designation. He was ruled doubtful to return. RAMS CUT KICKER HARRISON MEVIS AFTER BOTCHED FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT IN OVERTIME 'COST US THE GAME' The injury exit compounds a...
