Braden Smith is happy to be back at Indianapolis Colts training camp. The offensive lineman's 2024 NFL campaign ended prematurely due to Smith's struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder.More specifically, Smith contended with a specific type of the disorder known as religious scrupulosity.Smith embarked on an extensive search for relief, trying therapeutic and medicinal treatments along the way. His journey also took him to Mexico, where he sought out psychedelics.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHe did finally reach a point where he successfully took control of the OCD that previously controlled him. Smith says he entered the latest chapter of his NFL career in a good spot."Im in a spectacular place, honestly," Smith told The Indianapolis Star. "Ive learned a lot about myself. Ive learned different tools and strategies. Ive had a great support system here and at home."NFL IS BACK AS CHARGERS-LIONS HALL OF FAME GAME KICKS OFF PRESEASON ACTIONSmith pointed to ibogaine treatment he underwent in Mexico when he spoke about being able to erase many of the poor habits he created in his mind. When his OCD was at its peak, Smith would feel the need to pray, repent or declare his faith in a repetitive fashion.Smith admitted OCD is still part of him, but the disorder no longer constantly affects his daily life."Theres not boxes I need to check off, theres not things I need to do," Smith said. "Its not perfect, but its kind of allowed me to give it all to Him and not worry about what else can happen."Smith is a Christian. He is moving forward with a more balanced approach to his faith, which he now bases on love instead of guilt."You have to find out what is healthy and what is not healthy. It looks a little bit different for every person," Smith said. "My relationship to God doesnt have to be a cookie-cutter type of thing. Luckily, the whole point is just (having) a relationship."Smith's struggles were significant enough he contemplated retiring from football. He played in 12 games in 2024.Smith acknowledged the effect OCD had on his on-field performance last year."Last year, I was just kind of out there," Smith said. "I was going through the motions, but I didnt feel that edge that players have. I didnt have that last year. I didnt feel that."Aside from the mental health hurdles, Smith sustained a knee injury in 2023, missed seven games that season and underwent surgery.A mentally and physically healthy Smith is looking forward to playing the game he loves."This is probably the best Ive felt in a really long time," he said. "Its kind of nice to see everything come together. Now, I can just go play football."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

As one can understand, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was emotional discussing the tragic mass shooting at the league's headquarters in New York City that left four dead on Monday night.Goodell made an appearance on NBC ahead of the NFL Hall of Fame Game, which kicks off the 2025 season in Canton, Ohio. Speaking with Mike Tirico, Goodell condemned the "senseless" act of violence that also left an NFL employee "seriously injured.""Theres no excuses for these senseless acts," Goodell said. "Theyre hard on all of us to understand. It inflicts pain on people you know and people you care about and people you deal with on a daily basis. Thats particularly hard.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"But, as you know, these acts of senseless violence and hatred are happening around our country and world too often in schools, in churches, in synagogues, in places that this should just not be happening. We all have to continue to be vigilant and continue to protect ourselves and the NFLs going to continue to do that with our employees and our people."Goodell specifically began getting choked up when talking about the "outpouring of support" everyone from government officials, to teams and coaches, have been giving the league in this difficult time.But Goodell made sure to point out that this didn't just affect the league it's much more than that.NFL RELEASES STATEMENT AFTER MASS SHOOTING AT LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS IN NYC: 'RESILIENT AND UNITED'"Remember this attack is far more than on several individuals. This is an attack on our humanity, this is an attack on our community, this is an attack on New York, this is an attack on our way of life," he said. "All of us have to do more, and make sure were doing everything to get help to people who need help. And also, taking necessary precautions. I assure you our employees are going to work hard."Goodell was among those who attended the funeral of fallen NYPD officer Didarul Islam, who died after 27-year-old Shane Tamura unleashed a barrage of bullets in the lobby at 345 Park Avenue. Tamura ultimately took his own life on the building's 33rd floor."Someone we see outside the building almost every day," Goodell said as he held back his emotions. "It hits home the loss, the unnecessary and unexplainable loss. Its something that all of us as New Yorkers feel a great pride in the NYPD and all that they do and all the first responders. Its was a difficult, emotional afternoon. But also a tremendous heartwarming service for him."As for the NFL employee who was injured in the shooting, Goodell said that he visited with him for about an hour on Thursday. He's improving in the hospital and surrounded by the ones he loves."An amazing young man, so were optimistic for his recovery and I think thats good news for all of us in the NFL and obviously our hearts continue to be in support of his family," Goodell said. "He has a young family, and [I] had a chance to meet his brother, parents and I think its something that is really hard for all of us to understand and to deal with."New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed on FOX 5 NY "Good Day New York" that Tamura was targeting the NFL when he showed up to the midtown Manhattan office building, which also served as a place of work for other companies including investment firm Blackstone and Rudin Management.Tamura reportedly had a grievance with the NFL, alluding to the sport of football giving him chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is a side affect of repeated hits to the head. Adams said Tamura took the wrong elevator bank inside the building after attacking those in the lobby.Goodell was in contact with all league employees starting Monday night, where he revealed that a staffer was injured in the shooting. He sent another memo saying that all New York City-based workers should be remote at least through next week.It's a trying time for many, including all those at the NFL, but Goodell knows that sports can sometimes serve as healing."We do believe the NFL brings people together, and we are going to continue that," he said. "We are going to be lifted by our own efforts to bring the National Football League to our fans. Its something that I think our employees take great pride in, and thats why those folks are there tonight beginning that process of making sure people can enjoying the National Football League. Were going to put our employees as our primary focus, but we think we can also bring our country together around our game."Were going to carry on. Maybe with broken hearts, but we will carry on."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

An air traffic controller failed to notify the crew of a commercial plane that an Army helicopter was moving toward the aircraft before the collision in Washington, D.C., in January that killed 67 people, a Federal Aviation Administration official said on Thursday.The FAA's first acknowledgment of a possible error in the control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport just before the fatal collision came on the second day of National Transportation Safety Board hearings looking into what led to the midair crash.Officials testified at the hearing about a high number of takeoffs and landings at the airport that, in addition to heavy helicopter traffic, led to air traffic controllers testing the limits of safety, according to The Washington Post.Among the methods used the night of the crash were the frequent use of allowing helicopter crews to use their own judgment and skills to avoid other air traffic and the use of runway 33, which is shorter and requires jets arriving from the south to leave the usual flight path and travel further east, the outlet noted.ARMY HELICOPTER THAT CRASHED WITH COMMERCIAL PLANE IN DC WAS FLYING ABOVE ALTITUDE LIMIT: NTSBThe controller responsible for guiding the flights of the Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines jet arriving from Wichita, Kansas, had juggled communications with 21 different aircraft in the 10 minutes before the collision over the Potomac River, according to NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Homendy.NTSB investigators were told by the controller managing helicopter and airliner traffic at once that he felt overwhelmed about 15 minutes before the crash, but that traffic later died down some, and he felt more comfortable managing the workload.During the hearing, Homendy pressed FAA officials about the sequence of communications with the jet arriving, which was operated by regional carrier PSA, according to The Washington Post."Should the local controller have let the PSA crew know there was a helicopter there?" Homendy asked.Nick Fuller, the acting number two ranking official in the FAAs air traffic control branch, answered yes, adding that the controller should have told the airliners crew that the helicopter was using visual separation and that "the targets were likely to merge."The airport often saw nearly 80 departures and arrivals an hour, according to The Washington Post, citing an FAA email released by the NTSB this week.Clark Allen, the operations manager in the airport's tower on the night of the crash, was asked Thursday whether tactics that controllers used were jeopardizing safety."Theyre pushing the line," Allen testified.Controllers told investigators that they did not feel outside pressure to keep up with the pace, but FAA managers described how American Airlines had a tight schedule that effectively boosted traffic. A manager for the airline testified that it had attempted to make changes after visiting the tower.In the minutes before the crash, the controller was looking for pilots willing to land on runway 33 to relieve pressure on the main runway. One crew declined and the pilots of the American Airlines flight from Wichita initially hesitated before agreeing, according to a transcript released this week, The Washington Post noted. This sent them on a circling route that would bring them directly into the path of the Black Hawk, which was using a route that passed right under the plane's landing path.Officials said the tactics of managing heavy aircraft traffic have tower jargon, including "squeeze play," which involves pushing planes through takeoffs and landings with minimal separation."It can be taxing on a person, you know, constantly have to give, give, give or a push, push, push in order to efficiently move traffic," Allen testified.NTSB LAUNCHES 3-DAY INVESTIGATIVE HEARING ON DEADLY DC PLANE CRASH"Being a high volume, high complex airport with not a lot of real estate, you have to keep things moving," he added.The pressure at the airport extended to a nearby air traffic control facility that tees up planes to land, Bryan Lehman, a manager at that facility, testified on Thursday."We have many nonstandard tools that we use in order to be able to bring a significant amount of airplanes into DCA on a daily basis to make it work," Lehman said. "At a certain point, its too much."Planes approaching the airport from the south mostly land on runway one, which is close to 7,200 feet long and able to accommodate the large airliners common at the airport. Runway 33, which is only 5,200 feet long, crosses it at an angle. Runway 33 is available to controllers as a form of relief valve.After the incident on Jan. 29, the FAA reduced the arrival rate of aircraft and said it would conduct a review. The agency said the current maximum arrival rate at the airport is 30 an hour.Lehman said he told investigators that American Airlines also found a way to avoid limits on the number of flights each hour by packing them into 30-minute blocks."No one will stop them," Lehman said. "So, I dont know how American has this much pull but its a wink-wink, that people know whats going on."Njuen Chendi, the FAAs traffic management officer for the Washington district, told investigators that efforts to have the airline space out its flights to ease pressure on the airport have had only limited success.Eric Silverman, an American Airlines manager, testified on Thursday that representatives from the carrier had visited the tower as travel was rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic."We made changes where we could," Silverman said.Another tactic for managing traffic that also contributed to the crash was controllers' relying on visual separation, in which helicopters see and avoid airliners."Visual separation was used on a daily basis between the helicopter operators and the commercial traffic departing and landing at DCA," Allen testified. "Visual separation was paramount to making the operation work efficiently for the amount of volume and complexity that the airspace has."The controller checked with the helicopter crew to confirm they could see the jet as they approached, but they appeared to be confused about the message and did not see the airliner even moments before they crashed into it.The FAA imposed limits on the use of visual separation in the aftermath of the collision.Staffing at the airport has been a problem since the crash, according to NTSB investigator Brian Soper, who said that the latest FAA data shows that while there are 26 controllers assigned to the tower, only 19 are available to work."Every person we spoke with cited staffing as a significant concern," Soper said.

President Donald Trump clashed with a reporter Thursday over questions about a newly signed tariff, telling him that he had spent his first term "fighting lunatics like you." The intense exchange follows a White House signing ceremony for a series of executive actions aimed at expanding reciprocal tariffs and strengthening U.S. trade policy.While speaking with reporters at the White House after the signing, a reporter confronted Trump on why he is emphasizing tariffs more in his second term."Youreweighing your decision to do that, your authority to do that based on a 1977 law. It's never been invoked before," said the reporter. "Why didn't you invoke this law in your first term? You could have taken in billions upon billions of dollars in your first term, but you waited until your second term?"FEDERAL JUDGES GRILL TRUMP LAWYERS OVER 'LIBERATION DAY' TARIFFS ON EVE OF ENFORCEMENTWithout missing a beat, the president shot back: "Yeah,because in my first term, I was fighting lunatics like you who were trying to do things incorrectly and inappropriately to a president that was duly elected.""And we did do certain tariffs in the first term," he continued. "If you look at China, China, we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from China."He also said that the COVID-19 pandemic also played a factor in his decision to not emphasize tariffs as much in his first term."When Covid came the last thing I was going to do is tell France and Italy and Spain and a couple of other countries that we're going to hit you with tariffs," he explained. "We had to fight the Covid situation when that came."DAILY BEAST PULLS STORY ALLEGING MELANIA-EPSTEIN CONNECTION AFTER LAWYERS DISPUTE FRAMING"But if you look at my first term," he went on, "We took in hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tariffs, but you people didn't cover it very well."A statement by the White House said that Trumps executive actions taken on Thursday "reflects the Presidents continued efforts to protect the United States against foreign threats to the national security and economy of the United States by securing fair, balanced, and reciprocal trade relationships to benefit American workers, farmers, and manufacturers and to strengthen the United States defense industrial base."This comes shortly after Trump and European Commission PresidentUrsula von der Leyenannounced a trade deal between the U.S. and E.U. on Sunday.TRUMP SETS UP PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TEST FOR ANOTHER REVAMP AFTER OBAMA RETIRED IT DURING PRESIDENCY"We are agreeing that the tariff straight across for automobiles and everything else will be a straight-across tariff of 15%,"Trump said."So, we have a tariff of 15%. We have the opening up of all of the European countries, which I think I could say were essentially closed. I mean, you weren't exactly taking our orders.

The Los Angeles Chargers kicked off its 2025 NFL preseason with a beatdown over the Detroit Lions, 34-7, in the Hall of Fame Game.With the league honoring those entering the great Pro Football Hall of Fame across the street in Canton, Ohio, it was Trey Lance, the third overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, putting on a show for his new Chargers squad.Justin Herbert is the starting quarterback for the Chargers, and he didnt suit up as is custom this early in the season. But Lance is in a battle for the backup position, and he made quite the impression on head coach Jim Harbaugh with his performance on Thursday night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAfter the opening kickoff ended up as a fumble by the Lions, Lance needed five plays to go 28 yards for a 4th-and-2 touchdown pass to Will Dissly to get the first touchdown of the year on the board for Los Angeles.Lance would find the end zone again later in the first half, as he rifled a slant pass to rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the fifth-rounder out of Auburn, who sped into the end zone to make it 21-7 in favor of the Chargers.TEXANS STAR JOE MIXON'S PRESEASON IN JEOPARDY DUE TO LATEST INJURY SETBACKLos Angeles scored a second touchdown in the first quarter after rookie cornerback Nikko Reed picked off Lions quarterback Kyle Allen and almost took it to the house for a very memorable moment in his first taste of NFL action. Two plays later, Kimani Vidal punched it in for the score.Lance would play into the second half for the Chargers, leading the way for two field goals to pull away from the Lions even more. He finished his game with 12-of-20 passing for 120 yards and two touchdowns.Meanwhile, Allen, who is battling for the backup position to Jared Goff, did not have the greatest performance to kickoff his preseason slate. He went 9-of-14 for 91 yards, but threw two interceptions, the second of which killed a good-looking drive.Veteran running back Craig Reynolds, a fan-favorite in Detroit, was able to score a touchdown on one of his 10 rushes on the night. Also, rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa had two catches for 46 yards.Mistakes are expected in the NFLs first game of the preseason, but head coach Dan Campbell cant be happy with his special teams unit, as there was another fumble after the opening kickoff.Jakobie Keeney-James, the UMass product trying to make the Lions roster, had trouble with JK Scotts high punt and he botched it, resulting in a Chargers recovery. Luckily, the Lions defense picked them up by not allowing a touchdown despite the Chargers starting with the ball at the Lions five-yard line.The Chargers, though, certainly built a great foundation to build off as training camp continues to get rolling on through August.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris did not want to name names regarding who is currently leading the Democratic Party when she was pressed about the political void on "The Late Show."Harris, who was plugging her newly announced book "107 Days" about the 2024 presidential campaign, sat down for a lengthy sit-down with host Stephen Colbert, marking her eighth appearance on his soon-to-be-canceled program.Before wrapping up the interview, Colbert noted how Harris is now out of office and currently isn't seeking one, prompting him to ask her, "Who's leading the Democratic Party?"KAMALA HARRIS TO PUBLISH BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACCOUNT OF FAILED 2024 CAMPAIGN"There are lots of leaders," Harris responded."There's generally a leader of the Democratic Party," Colbert retorted. "Who comes to mind?""I think there are a lot of I'm not going to go through names because then I'm going to leave somebody out and then I'm going to hear about it," Harris told Colbert. "But let me say this. I think it is a mistake for us who want us to figure out how to get out and through this and get out of it to put it on the shoulders of any one person. It's really on all of our shoulders. It really is."KAMALA HARRIS RULES OUT 2026 RUN IN HER HOME STATE OF CALIFORNIAHarris teased that her "107 Days," due for release in September, will give a "behind-the-scenes" look at her failed presidential bid.She announced this week that she would not enter the 2026 California gubernatorial race, fueling suspicion she may take another shot at the White House in 2028.During the interview, Harris was asked about the difficulty of differentiating herself from then-President Joe Biden in the campaign, telling Colbert she did not want to participate in the "piling on" of her boss after he withdrew from the presidential race.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWSShe also expressed her shock at the amount of "capitulation" that she said had been taking place since President Donald Trump took office."Perhaps it's naive of me, someone who has seen a lot that most people haven't seen, but I believed that on some level, you know, there are many, there should be many who consider themselves to be guardians of our system and our democracy, who just capitulated and I didn't see that coming," Harris said.The former vice president might have been in part alluding to Paramount's major settlement to Trump earlier this month ending his "election interference" lawsuit that was brought over CBS' handling of her "60 Minutes" interview in October, which was followed by the cancellation of "The Late Show" and the FCC approving Paramount's merger with Skydance Media.
