Did you know a majority of NFL rookies have to report to training camp starting next Tuesday? Better yet, did you know that rookies for the Seattle Seahawks reported TODAY? That's right.

Nine Venezuelan nationals have pleaded guilty for their roles in what federal prosecutors described as a family-run sex trafficking ring that lured vulnerable women to the U.S. with promises of jobs before forcing them into prostitution in the Nashville area . The U.S. Department of Justice announced Thursday that members of the organization recruited women in Venezuela, arranged for them to be smuggled into the U.S. and then transported them to Nashville. Once there, prosecutors said the victims were told they owed inflated smuggling debts that could only be repaid through commercial sex acts. According to court documents, women who refused were threatened with violence against themselves and relatives still living in Venezuela. Prosecutors said the traffickers also took a share of the women's earnings while collecting on the debts.

KC Navarro narrowly missed out on winning the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) X Division Championship at Slammiversary, but the moment was special nonetheless. Navarro competed against his mentor, Amazing Red, in the match. Red got the better of him in one of the better sequences of the match.  Navarro also talked about battling his fear of heights as he tried to make his way up the pillar to climb on the rope and get the title. COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL "So, this Ultimate X was a lot more special than the first one I was in at Rebellion last year. See, me, I'm not a big fan of heights.

A lot of people don't know, but it was set on commentary, Amazing Red was a big mentor for me for my entire career. Somebody I looked up to. I mean, obviously...

A pilot has gone viral after leaving an unexpected message in the sky during a routine flight. The pilot of the two-hour maintenance test flight over Northwest England traced the words "I'm bored" across the sky, with the unusual message and route appearing on the flight-tracking website Flightradar24. The Ravenair-operated Piper Tomahawk aircraft departed from Liverpool around 11:30 a.m. Saturday. It spent about two hours flying over the Wirral peninsula, Cheshire and North Wales before safely returning, according to Flightradar24 .

Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog "View From the Wing," told Fox News Digital there is little cause for concern from his point of view because the flight was conducted to test the aircraft rather than transport passengers. "This was a test flight...

In the Senate, there’s a black veil covering a desk. On top there’s a bowl of striking white roses. That’s where Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., used to sit. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., pointed to that desk during an emotional tribute to the late Senator on Monday. Graham was a confidant, trusted advisor and friend to Thune. And through tears, he set about remembering the lawmaker who spent 30 years in Washington, D.C., making a mark on his state and country. "It's difficult to believe that Lindsey Graham is no longer here with us," Thune said. "That we won't run into him at a meeting today or share a joke with him at this afternoon's vote. The halls of the Senate already feel empty without him. And I know I'm not alone in that feeling." GRAHAM'S DEATH IGNITES GOP SCRAMBLE FOR SENATE SEAT AS TRUMP HINTS HE ALREADY HAS A FAVORITE As Thune spoke about Graham, the late lawmaker’s staff sat in the Senate chamber as tears filled the room...

Speaking two or more languages may help slow brain aging, according to new research. The study, presented at the 2026 Federation of European Neuroscience Societies Forum, found that people who spoke multiple languages appeared to have younger brains than those who spoke only one language. Researchers analyzed brain activity from hundreds of people in Spain's Basque region who spoke between one and four languages, including Spanish, Basque, French and English. They used artificial intelligence to estimate each participant's "brain age" based on patterns of brain connectivity. COMMON VITAMIN MAY INFLUENCE BRAIN AGING IN WAYS SCIENTISTS DIDN'T EXPECT The researchers found that bilingual participants had brains that appeared about six years younger than those of monolingual participants. People who spoke three languages had brains that appeared about seven years younger, while those who spoke four languages had brains that appeared roughly 13 years younger. The find...
