Oregon coach Dan Lanning lays out multiple reasons why NFL players returning to college football is 'unfair'

Several NFL players have been granted the opportunity to return to college football ahead of this season. Most would agree that the development is just the latest item added to the laundry list of reasons that prove that this era of college football is broken.

A total of 16 players from the class of 2022 were granted a temporary restraining order against the NCAA on August 20 that grants them a fifth year of eligibility. Former Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright and former LSU defensive end Jack Pyburn, who are both on NFL training camp rosters, are among the players headlining the group.

Despite the likes of Wright and Pyburn suiting up for NFL teams in recent days during preseason action, and the college football season getting underway on August 29, the signed order in Louisiana grants players the ability to enter the transfer portal. Wright took advantage of his situation and reportedly entered the transfer portal. He also took the field for the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

NCAA WINS TENTH CIRCUIT 'STAY', BUT FACES MORE ELIGIBILITY LAWSUITS FROM 2022 CLASS ATHLETES IN CHAOTIC TIME

The assumption is that players battling for a spot on an NFL roster, even a team's practice squad roster, could return to college football with the motivation of earning a substantial payday.

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning, whose team could be in a position to benefit from the latest ruling, not only disapproves of the new development, but also listed the many reasons as to why.

NCAA IGNORED THE WARNINGS. NOW IT'S FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL IN COURTROOMS ACROSS AMERICA OVER ELIGIBILITY

"I think there’s a lot of negatives that are involved around this," Lanning told the media following Oregon's practice on Saturday. "One, once you go to the NFL, to me, you’re in the NFL. You don’t get the opportunity to come back. Two, most of us have built our rosters and you have a limited roster limit now. So if you invited somebody back to your team, that means you’re kicking somebody else off your team to match your roster limits. I don’t think that’s fair to the players that worked all summer, all spring and put themselves in position to be ready to work for a team to have somebody come back."

Lanning isn't saying anything that most college football fans and media members aren't already thinking, but the head coach of one of the premier programs in the nation saying these things carries more weight than most.

The lawsuit that unfolded in Louisiana, which granted these new permissions for 16 players, took place after the NCAA announced a five-year, age-based eligibility model. Athletes will have five years to play five seasons, beginning with their 19th birthday or the day they enroll at a school, whichever takes place first.

MLW's Doc Gallows 'proud' of winning tag team championship with teammate Karl Anderson

Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, the tag team duo collectively known as the Good Brothers, were finally able to dispatch The Skyscrapers and win the Major League Wrestling (MLW) Tag Team Championship on "Fusion."

Gallows and Anderson defeated Donovan Dijak and Bishop Dyer (The Skyscrapers), ending their reign as champions after 317 days.

The Good Brothers have now held the tag team championship in almost every promotion they have appeared in, including WWE and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Gallows told OutKick in a recent interview that it was "another badge" on their vest.

"It's a proud feeling," he said. "This makes 10 times as world tag team champions and there are very few sets of titles that have eluded Karl Anderson and myself and those MLW titles were on that list. And after almost a year of battling back and forth with The Skyscrapers, what a great tag team – dynamic, big, rough athletic dudes – getting that victory at the signal at Chattanooga on MLW ‘Fusion’ was great and it's the 10th time. Ten times’ the charm."

Gallows has been in the pro wrestling industry for quite some time – as has Anderson. He made his WWE main roster debut in 2006 and has made a decorated career for himself.

The 42-year-old said he and Anderson have felt as good as they have ever felt.

"… ‘Machine Gun’ and I, you know, we say it all the time, we feel better than we've ever felt," he said. "We feel more motivated than we've ever been. This past year has been great. Being able to go out and travel the world and go to Mexico, go to Japan, go to Australia, go to New Zealand, travel around the United States, Canada, and it was easy for us to kind of look at MLW as a home. I'm a fan of the show. I'm a fan of what they're doing on MLW ‘Fusion.’ So, the motivation is strong with us still."

The MLW tag team division now gets to step up to the challenge. Gallows said whoever does want to become the first ones to challenge them for the titles, they’re in for some vintage trouble.

"It’s the same old recipe, man. It's a Magic Killer one, two, three. It's just too sweet," he told OutKick. "The recipe proven time and time again. Every time they want us fall and every time you hear the clattering and you hear the chatter that the boys might be ready to hang it up, we pop right back up and we do something huge.

"I mean, we came off of a massive Japan tour. We won tag team titles in Australia, feuded with The Skyscrapers relentlessly. Spilled a lot of blood with those guys and ended up coming out victorious. So, you know, it's a badge of honor. It's a pride thing and it's like I said, very exciting time to be a fan and to be one of the wrestlers in the business as well."

What’s next in the immediate future? Gallows said "Talkin’ Shop Live" will return on Sept. 11 at The Windjammer in Charleston, South Carolina. The podcast is hosted by Gallows and Anderson and it will be held before MLW’s next round of tapings.

American tennis star Amanda Anisimova leaves fans convinced she drank beer mid-match with mystery beverage

American tennis star Amanda Anisimova was enjoying a beverage during her Round of 32 match in the Cincinnati Open on Monday night. A world-class athlete replenishing themselves during competition is, of course, normal behavior, but at first glance it appeared that Anisimova was consuming a drink that has the opposite effect of rehydration.

After dropping the first game of the final set in her match against Alex Eala, the Tennis Channel broadcast showed viewers at home a clip of Anisimova taking a few sips of a mystery beverage from a plastic cup she took out from underneath a towel on her bench during the second set.

The fact that the mysterious beverage was being drunk out of a plastic cup, one that Anisimova was trying her best to hide, made fans understandably assume that she was sipping on a cold beer.

It wasn't just fans who shared the thought, either, as broadcasters Brett Haber and Lindsay Davenport questioned what exactly the beverage was.

"Could be apple cider, Brett," Davenport said.

"I mean, I would never suggest that a player was drinking a beer in the middle of a match, but that’s certainly what it looked like," Haber remarked.

Coupled with the fact that it was unclear what the beverage was and that players are prohibited from consuming alcohol during a match, Haber was sure to cover his tracks.

"It could be non-alcoholic. It could be cider. It could be anything. We don’t know," Haber said.

Anisimova, 24, ultimately cruised in the third and final set, winning 6-2 to advance to the Round of 16. With fans convinced that she was drinking a beer during the match that she went on to win, it only added to the fun on social media.

"I don’t know if I have ever seen anything more nails than Amanda Anisimova just drilling a beer mid game and then winning the match," a fan wrote on X. "Beers have never been more back."

Some fans guessed that it was Red Bull, or a similar-looking energy drink, that was in Anisimova's plastic cup, and those fans were correct, according to Haber.

"We can confirm via one of our courtside camera operators that Anisimova asked for and was delivered a Red Bull. That is the mystery bevvie," he explained on the broadcast.

Sipping on a Red Bull mid-match is far less intriguing than sipping on a cold beer, but the moment still made for some fun on social media and across the tennis world.

Anisimova will take on Linda Noskova on Wednesday.

NYC drivers shell out $9 congestion toll. City admits it failed to improve air quality

A lofty New York City toll slapped on drivers in an effort to reduce congestion and improve air quality produced nearly no change in pollution after its first year, according to the city’s own analysis.

The New York City Health Department's report, released Friday, examined four traffic-related pollutants inside Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone since the $9 toll was implemented last year. Researchers found that the city’s overall pollution levels remained largely unchanged, with no statistically significant improvement attributable to the toll.

Still, officials in the Big Apple touted the study as the city's most comprehensive look at congestion pricing's effect on air quality to date.

MAMDANI’S AFFORDABILITY REVOLUTION STUMBLED AS RENT COSTS SOAR TO RECORD HIGHS

They pointed to reduced traffic, public transit improvements, less traffic noise and other benefits as positive outcomes from the toll being implemented in January 2025. All similar things that New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul hailed in a June 2023 speech when she backed congestion pricing.

Despite an 11% drop in traffic since implementation, the Health Department said vehicles account for only about 10% of the city’s pollution, meaning fewer cars alone is not expected to significantly improve overall air quality. Unlike many parts of the country, where cars and trucks are a major source of air pollution, New York City's emissions come largely from other sources.

The city's dense concentration of buildings, which burn fuel for heat and hot water, along with emissions from restaurants and power plants that supply the most populated U.S. city with electricity, are reasons for its poor air quality.

Findings in the recent report could backfire and provide fresh ammunition to critics who have blasted congestion pricing as an expensive burden on commuters, small businesses and working families in America's largest city.

The New York City Health Department and Hochul’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

MAMDANI'S RENT FREEZE, TAX HIKES A 'ONE-TWO WEALTH DESTRUCTION PUNCH,' ECONOMISTS WARN

New York City’s congestion pricing toll applies to passenger vehicles entering the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan at or below 60th Street. The lofty $9 toll applies to E-ZPass users once a day during peak hours, which are weekdays from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., and weekends from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

All other off-peak hours require a $2.25 toll.

Those who do not have E-ZPass could face toll-by-mail rates that are about 50% more than the typical charge.

President Donald Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy have been among the program's most prominent opponents, with Duffy previously calling the toll a "slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners."

The Trump administration also attempted to withdraw federal approval for the Biden-era program, but a federal judge ruled in March that the effort was unlawful.

Following that ruling, Gov. Hochul called congestion pricing a "once-in-a-lifetime success story," saying its first year brought "reduced gridlock, faster trips, safer streets, and cleaner air" while generating funding for mass transit upgrades.

"Congestion pricing is legal, it works, and it is here to stay," Hochul said in a March 3 statement.

For now, the toll remains, traffic is down, but the city’s first-year data show no statistically significant improvement in air quality.

Some online critics pounced on the findings, dragging up a 2023 speech where Hochul promised: "With congestion pricing New Yorkers have a lot to lose. How about 15 to 20% fewer vehicles in the central business district every single day? Less noise, less honking, less gridlock."

"How about less air pollution, lower carbon emissions, lower speeds, fewer crashes?" she went on. "I don't mind losing that."

"Kathy Hochul’s congestion pricing did not significantly improve air quality in Manhattan like she promised it would. Who could’ve possibly seen this coming?" wrote the popular right-wing X account called Libs of TikTok.

Another account noted: "Hochul looked right into the camera and swore this toll would scrub the air and let kids with asthma breathe easier. When they wrap a new tax in an environmental bow, the only thing that ever improves is the government's balance sheet."

Progressive Minneapolis mayor's viral hip-hop moves spark 'humiliation ritual' mockery online

Social media is erupting over a viral video of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey showing off his awkward dance moves while attending the Black Entrepreneur State Fair, with the clip quickly spreading across X as users call the dance a "cringe" performance.

The clip, posted on TikTok last week, shows Frey moving his hips and shoulders to hip-hop music while wearing sunglasses and interacting with an emcee on the dance floor, prompting a wave of mockery from conservative commentators.

"Why are they always like this? This is almost worse than when he pretended the Somali food he was choking down his throat was delicious. He’s a walking humiliation ritual," said conservative commentator Benny Johnson.

"What an embarrassment," said one user.

"Cringe: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey looking like the classic white guy dancing caricature," said one user.

Fox News Digital reached out to Frey's office for comment.

The annual Black Entrepreneur State Fair, a weeklong celebration of Black-owned businesses, was held Aug. 9-15 at Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis.

The video comes amid a string of Democratic lawmakers and candidates drawing online mockery over attempts to connect with voters through dance and other lighthearted performances, with critics branding the moments awkward and bizarre.

iCloud Private Relay leaks can expose your real IP

If you pay for iCloud+ and use Safari, you may have turned on iCloud Private Relay for an extra layer of privacy. Apple designed the feature to prevent websites from seeing your actual IP address and exact location.

Now, security researchers have found three ways that certain WebKit features can slip outside that protection.

Researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk discovered that DNS prefetching, a WebAuthn feature connected to passkeys and WebTransport can bypass WebKit's proxy configuration. Two of those methods can expose your real internet protocol (IP) address. The other can reveal information about the DNS servers your device is using.

What makes this especially concerning is that these are legitimate browser technologies. A website does not necessarily need to convince you to download a suspicious file or install a shady app for the network requests to occur.

Here's how these iCloud Private Relay leaks work, who may be affected and what you can do to better protect your privacy.

ARE APPLE DEVICES SPYING? WHAT YOUR IPHONE TRACKS

Apple's iCloud Private Relay is available to iCloud+ subscribers and works with Safari browsing. When you turn it on, Apple sends your Safari requests through two separate internet relays. Your internet provider can see your IP address, but your DNS records are encrypted. A second relay then gives the website a temporary IP address instead of your actual one.

The design keeps any single party from seeing both who you are and which websites you visit. That makes Private Relay useful if you want to reduce the amount of location and browsing information websites can collect about you. However, the newly documented WebKit behavior creates paths around that relay.

The researchers identified three separate mechanisms. Each works a little differently.

Browsers often try to make websites load faster by looking up the addresses of links before you click them. This process is called DNS prefetching. Normally, you would expect those lookups to follow the same privacy path as the rest of your browsing.

The researchers found that WebKit can instead send these DNS requests through your device's normal DNS connection. As a result, a website could see DNS requests coming from your real network instead of the proxy. The issue has been available on iOS since iOS 26.0, according to the researchers.

This does not directly hand over everything you are doing online. However, it can expose network information that Private Relay was expected to shield.

The second issue involves WebAuthn, the web standard used by passkeys. Some companies operate several websites and want the same passkey to work across those related domains. WebAuthn has a feature that lets a device verify whether those websites belong together. To do that, the operating system may contact a website directly to retrieve a small verification file.

According to the researchers, that request happens outside Safari's normal proxied network path. Therefore, the destination server can receive your device's real IP address even while Private Relay is active.

Importantly, this research does not show that an attacker can steal your passkey through this flaw. The privacy exposure comes from the network request used during verification. So, there is no reason to abandon passkeys because of this finding.

WebTransport gives websites a faster way to maintain low-latency connections with servers. Certain interactive web services can benefit from that speed.

However, researchers found that WebKit can establish a WebTransport connection directly from your device instead of sending it through the configured proxy.

When that happens, the server on the other end can see your actual IP address. Private Relay does not intercept that connection because it occurs outside the network path Private Relay normally protects. WebTransport became publicly available on iOS with iOS 26.4.

SHARED VPN VS DEDICATED IP: WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

The findings matter most if you rely on Safari with iCloud Private Relay to hide your IP address. They can also affect privacy-focused browsers or apps that use WebKit's proxy configuration. The researchers specifically examined WebKit-based proxy browsers on iOS and macOS. That means the issue reaches beyond one particular browser feature.

The researchers say VPNs do not suffer from these specific WebKit proxy leaks because a VPN tunnels network traffic at the system level instead of relying on WebKit's browser-level proxy configuration.

That does not mean a VPN eliminates every form of online tracking. Websites can still recognize you through account logins, cookies and other signals.

If you use Private Relay, there is no reason to panic or immediately switch it off. Most Safari browsing still follows Private Relay's normal privacy architecture. Apple says the service is designed to prevent websites from seeing your IP address and exact location during Safari browsing. The problem is that certain WebKit features can create exceptions.

A website using one of these mechanisms could potentially learn your real IP address or information about your DNS connection. You may not see an obvious warning when that happens.

Your IP address usually will not reveal your home address. Still, it can expose your internet provider and approximate location. It can also give websites another identifier to connect with other information they have collected about you. For someone using Private Relay specifically because they do not want websites seeing that information, that matters.

We reached out to Apple for comment on the researchers' findings but did not hear back before our publication deadline.

There are several steps you can take while this WebKit behavior remains a concern.

Turning Private Relay off would remove its protection from Safari traffic that currently does travel through Apple's relay system.

On iPhone, you can check it by going to: Settings > your name > iCloud > Private Relay.

Apple also lets you choose between maintaining your general location or using only your country and time zone.

Install new iOS, iPadOS and macOS updates when Apple releases them.

On iPhone: Settings > General > Software Update.

Apple currently lists iOS 26.6 as its latest iPhone software release. Security and privacy fixes often arrive through operating system updates, so automatic updates can help you receive future fixes more quickly.

If hiding your real IP address is especially important to you, a reputable VPN offers a different type of protection. The researchers specifically note that VPNs are not affected by these three WebKit proxy leaks because the traffic is tunneled at the system level. Keep in mind that a VPN cannot make you invisible online. Websites can still recognize you if you sign in or provide identifying information. For the best VPN software, see my expert review of the best VPNs for browsing the web privately on your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.

The WebAuthn finding may sound alarming because passkeys are involved. However, the researchers describe an IP-address exposure caused by a related network request. They do not describe attackers stealing the passkey itself. Passkeys remain one of the stronger options available for protecting accounts from phishing and stolen passwords.

The browser developer Psylo has already changed how its browser handles the three mechanisms. Psylo version 1.3.1 blocks DNS prefetch hints while WebTransport and WebAuthn are disabled by default. Users can turn those features back on for individual sites when needed. The changes show that browser developers can take steps to close these particular paths.

Privacy features work best when you understand what they actually protect. I still see value in iCloud Private Relay because it gives Safari users meaningful protection with almost no effort. However, I would not treat it as a replacement for a full-device VPN when keeping your real IP hidden is critical. What concerns me most here is how invisible these exceptions can be. You can turn on a privacy setting, see that it is enabled and reasonably assume every relevant connection follows it. These findings show why the plumbing underneath matters as much as the switch you see in Settings. Apple has built privacy into the way it markets the iPhone. That makes discoveries like this especially important because users should know where those protections have limits.

Would knowing that a website could potentially bypass Private Relay make you trust the feature less, or would you keep using it while waiting for Apple to address the loopholes? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.
