The wild Cleveland Browns quarterback room took another turn on Saturday.Head coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier in the day that both Greg Newsome and Myles Garrett were missing the day's practice, but it was later revealed that Shedeur Sanders had missed team drills due to shoulder soreness.It is unclear when Sanders' shoulder started bothering him.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIt has rather been a tumultuous offseason for Sanders, who was once an expected top-five pick. He was then lucky to even be selected in the top-five rounds. He eventually was taken by the Browns in the fifth round, even after taking Dillon Gabriel in the third round.Throughout training camp, Sanders has been taking the majority of his snaps with third-teamers, although he did face the first-team defense earlier this week for the first time.Opportunities came for Sanders last week when Kenny Pickett, whom the Browns acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the offseason, injured his hamstring, but he returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity.Joe Flacco is also in the room, while Deshaun Watson continues to rehab from a twice-torn Achilles.JOSH ALLEN SHARES SIMILAR SENTIMENT TO SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER ABOUT ON-FIELD SUCCESS: 'YOU KIND OF FORGET ABOUT IT'Browns owner Jimmy Haslam recently said it was general manager Andrew Berry's choice to draft Sanders."If you had told me Friday night [Day 2 of the NFL Draft], driving home, Yall are gonna pick Shedeur, I would have said, Thats not happening," Haslam said Tuesday. "But we had a conversation early that morning [Day 3], and we had a conversation later that day, and we had the right people involved in that conversation.""At the end of the day, thats [general manager] Andrew Berrys call. Andrew made the call to pick Shedeur. Just like whos gonna start or what play were gonna call is [head coach] Kevin [Stefanski]s call. But thats Andrews call.

America's busiest airports are quietly becoming unexpected food destinations and smart travelers know just where to grab the best bite before takeoff.Airport lounges have elevated their food offerings even as they remain pricey and require memberships or a certain credit card or frequent-flier status.For the average traveler, regular airport restaurants are still costly, partly due to real estate costs and the challenge of getting staff and ingredients through security, Gary Leff, a Texas-basedtravel industry expert, told Fox News Digital.AMERICA'S 15 BEST GAS STATIONS FOR FOOD, ACCORDING TO ONLINE REVIEWSThey operate in tight spaces and are run by a single concession operator, leading to an "incredible sameness," Leff added."It's not simple to run a restaurant inside an airport," noting it can be a "recipe for bad food."There is one exception, he said.That would be Tortas Frontera, a Mexican restaurant at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Illinois.YOUR BEST FOOD AND DRINK CHOICES AT THE AIRPORT, ACCORDING TO DIETITIANS AND NUTRITIONISTS"I even choose to connect through Chicago rather than another hub sometimes for it," Leff said.Tortas Frontera by Rick Bayless, the well-known chef, is often named online as a favorite of frequent flyers; one Reddit user raved it offered the "best airport food I've ever had." Other favorites named include O'Hare's Publican Tavern, Wicker Park and Gold Coast Dogs.And while Leff thinks One Flew South, a southern and sushi fusion restaurant at Georgia's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), is "overrated," many tout that as their favorite flying pit stop."The most outstanding meal I have EVER had in an airport!" one woman wrote in a recent Yelp review.AIRLINE PASSENGER SPARKS HEATED DEBATE ABOUT BRINGING 'FRAGRANT FOOD' ON PLANESATL, which also houses the beloved Chicken and Beer, owned by rapper Ludacris, and the soul food institution Paschal's, won first place in the 2025 Food & Wine Global Tastemakers Awards for U.S. airport dining.Another southern hub with sought-after food is Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in Texas."Dallas-Fort Worth is a massive airport with numerous dining options," said Melanie Musson, an insurance expert from Montana who frequently travels with her husband and six kids.WHAT FOODS DOES TSA ALLOW TRAVELERS TO BRING IN CARRY-ON LUGGAGE FOR FLIGHTS?"They have several Texas barbecue options, so even when you're just stopping for a layover, you can get a taste of Texas."Justin Goldsberry, a business owner and seasoned traveler from New Jersey, also said he loves traveling through DFW for its barbecue and seafood."Since seafood is my favorite, I'm always on the lookout," Goldsberry said.6 FOODS FLIGHT PASSENGERS SHOULD NEVER ORDER ON A PLANE"Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen delivers every time."Musson's other favorite place to stop is Root Down at Denver International Airport (DEN) in Colorado, where she and her family have been going for years."But Root Down isn't the only great eating establishment at DEN," Musson said. "It offers a wide array of chain restaurants and several local options."Reddit users also say they appreciate the variety at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in California.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"SFO is a dream for anyone who loves Asian food," Maricel Gentile, owner of Maricel's Kitchen in New Jersey, told Fox News Digital.Gentile frequently travels for culinary events and often gets a bowl of udon or miso soup from Japanese restaurant Wakaba."It's simple, warm and soulful, perfect before a long flight," Gentile said.After SFO and her hometown Newark Liberty International Airport, Gentile said she enjoys eating at SeattleTacoma International Airport (SEA) in Washington.SEA is home to Floret, a vegetarian spot that one recent Yelp reviewer said was "hands down the best/cutest restaurant" she ever visited in an airport, and Beecher's Handmade Cheese, another favorite on the Reddit channels.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERGentile also recommended the fried chicken at The Country Cat at Oregon's Portland International Airport (PDX).Employees at travel site The Points Guy also recommended PDX as well as Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah, according to its managing editor, Clint Henderson, in part because they're reasonable. Both prohibit restaurants and shops from charging more than they would outside the airport.Henderson thinks dining at New York's LaGuardia Airport has improved lately."LaGuardia's Delta Terminal C is now full of some of my favorite restaurants, including Calista Taverna, Prime, Soleil Brasserie, Chuko Ramen and, of course, Bubby's," he told Fox News Digital."Airports have come a long, long way over the past few years with airports investing heavily in food and beverage offerings."

Joe Berlinger wanted to understand how one man who seemingly came from a loving home went on to terrorize New York City.The Oscar-nominated director has launched a new true-crime docuseries on Netflix, "Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes." It features newly unearthed audio interviews between David Berkowitz and crime reporter Jack Jones, which took place in 1980 at Attica Correctional Facility.The three-part series also highlights a phone conversation Berlinger had with Berkowitz, 72, who is serving multiple life sentences for his murders.BRYAN KOHBERGER BELIEVED HE COMMITTED THE PERFECT MURDERS UNTIL ONE KEY MISTAKE SHATTERED HIS PLOT: AUTHOR"David Berkowitz is very different from other serial killers," the filmmaker told Fox News Digital."He wanted no human contact. He didnt want to know his victims. Theres an anecdote about a snowstorm when he had a gun in his pocket. He came upon some people stuck in the snow, and he decided hed rather be a hero than a killer, because he had a human interaction with those people. He is more about rage and alienation and having to express that rage.""I liken him to the school shooters of today rather than the sexual sadistic killer that most of these other serial killers are," Berlinger shared."Serial killers, particularly Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer, needed to be intimate with their victims. Bundy and Gacy, in particular, got sexual gratification out of killing somebody and watching them die in their hands. Dahmer took that intimacy to the next level by consuming body parts. . . . But with Berkowitz, he needed to satisfy his rage."In the mid-1970s, Berkowitz, a postal employee, plunged the city into fear with a series of shootings using a .44-caliber revolver that killed six people and wounded seven. He appeared to target young women with long brown hair and couples canoodling in a lovers lane.The New York Police Department formed a 200-person task force to hunt down the killer, The Associated Press reported. Frightened women began cutting their hair short and dyeing it blonde, while many others rushed home before nightfall.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XHe went on to send taunting letters to the police and the press, where he called himself the "Son of Sam" and claimed that a demonic-obsessed dog belonging to his neighbor had ordered him to kill.Berkowitzs reign of terror came to an end when he was arrested on Aug. 10, 1977. According to Berlinger, more newspapers were sold for the "Son of Sam" being caught than for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.Berlinger said he wanted the film to also address rumors about the slayings that have persisted for decades."Theres still this belief that there were multiple Sons of Sams," Berlinger explained."Theres this conspiracy theory that there were multiple shooters, and they all belonged to a satanic cult. . . . Its preposterous. . . . It just further spurred me on to want to tell a clear-eyed, factual story about what happened. And just from a common-sense standpoint, the shootings stopped after Berkowitz was arrested. If there was a nationwide satanic cult, why werent there more killings?""Theres just no forensic evidence to support that theory," Berlinger stressed.SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERAccording to the docuseries, Berkowitz was brought up by Jewish parents in the Bronx. He was traumatized by both the startling revelation that he was adopted and the death of his adoptive mother from cancer.In 1971, he joined the army, and he distinguished himself as a talented marksman, History.com reported. But after returning to New York, his mental health began to deteriorate severely. He was later diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic."I think its a slippery slope to blame it on a bad childhood," Berlinger pointed out. "He had a good childhood by all accounts. He was just shocked that he was adopted. I had a rough childhood, and Im the opposite of somebody walking around with a lot of rage and wanting to do terrible things.""Some people go through horrible experiences early in life and end up stronger and better," said Berlinger. "Others end up doing terrible things. [What we do know is] that Berkowitz felt alienated and disconnected to the degree that he had to satisfy his rage."Berlinger admitted that at first, he was hesitant to speak with Berkowitz.WATCH: TED BUNDYS EX-GIRLFRIEND INSPIRES HAUNTING NETFLIX BIOPIC ON THEIR ROMANCE: HE WAS A MASTER MANIPULATOR"I debated whether it was appropriate to include his present-day thoughts, because it broke with the former," he explained, referring to his previous documentaries. "People are very sensitive about giving a platform to a serial killer. But you are dissecting human behavior as a cautionary tale."Berlinger described Berkowitz as "disarming," someone eager to please and "wants to say all the right things." Still, it took some convincing for Berkowitz to speak out for the docuseries. And when he did during their phone conversation, there was one comment that Berlinger said took him aback."It wasnt his final comment in the interview, but its the final comment in the show," said Berlinger. "His chilling admonition to the younger David Berkowitz to just run and get help, meaning run from that horrible decision to get a gun and kill people randomly. I felt it was just so chilling, because it could have been so different for him.""The deeply sick, psychological disturbances of these other killers who liked looking into the eyes of their victims as they were expiring or eating body parts it exists, but I dont think its common," Berlinger continued."But I do think youthful young men feeling disconnected, feeling rage, feeling unfulfilled - thats not uncommon in our society right now. I found that comment so chilling because it could have been so different had he just gotten help. I think with these school shootings, for example, there were so many signs where, if people had gotten help, maybe the outcomes wouldve been different."" I think we have an epidemic of [poor] mental health in this country," said Berlinger. "I think young people, particularly young men a lot of young men feel alienated and lost. And I think thats important."GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUBIn addition to hearing Berkowitz speak, the film also highlights interviews with detectives, journalists, loved ones, survivors and others closely connected to the case. Berlinger said it was important for him to get the blessing of the survivors, in particular, to move forward with the project."Its always important to include the victims point of view in these shows," Berlinger explained. "I always reach out to victims and want their participation, or at the very least, their blessing. I have canceled shows in the past where the victims have said, This will hurt us if you do this. And it was heartbreaking to hear the accounts of the survivors in this film. These were young people doing quintessential things that people in their youth do. This random act of violence snuffed out their hopes and dreams and reverberated for decades."Berlinger noted that the primary reason he agreed to reach out to Berkowitz was because of Wendy Savino. She was recently confirmed by the New York Police Department as Berkowitzs first known victim. The director wanted to see whether Berkowitz would weigh in on that shooting."I believe that she was a victim of his," said Berlinger. "I cant say whether he believes it or feels a need to deny it."Berkowitz now claims he is a born-again Christian and feels remorseful. He previously appeared to relish the media attention he received and sold his exclusive story rights to a publishing house, History.com reported.According to the outlet, New York State was the first to adopt a nationwide series of laws that take the proceeds a criminal earns from selling their story and instead gives them to a victims compensation fund.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIt's unclear whether Berkowitz is sincere about being remorseful, but his message to his younger self has stayed with Berlinger."When I asked him, If you could speak to the young David, what would you tell him? ' he said, Run, get help. I could have talked to my father," Berlinger recalled."That touched me deeply," he said. " If youre feeling rage or disconnection, and youre concerned about this level of rage that you live with every day, get help."

So when these people talk about, Hey, this season and that season, I didnt know the age range because I wasnt watching it."Instead,Owens saidhis idea of the "golden" years was based on his personal frame of reference not the shows legacy."Im thinking, to me, the age range was 45 to 60. Thats my age range. Im thinking thats the gold years for me. My reference, again, was when I was dating at 39, 40. I hadnt dated in 26 years, so I had no clue.

And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, 'You know, if they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them.' 'Oh Mel, you can't, you know, this is not the 'Silver Bachelor.'

Dreading a task at the end of a long week? There may be a way to trick your brain into seeing that chore as a reward."Dopamine anchoring" is the latest psychology hack making the rounds on social media.This technique involves associating a desirable thing like music or snacks with a less pleasant task or movement, so that "over time, your brain begins to crave the task itself," according to Joshua Stein, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist at PrairieCare in Minnesota.STANFORD SCIENTISTS 'TOTALLY SURPRISED' BY POTENTIAL PARKINSON'S TREATMENT DISCOVERYFrom a neuroscience perspective, this strategy works through the brains dopamine pathway.Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that is associated with feelings of pleasure."When we expect a reward, dopamine levels rise before we get the reward," which helps boost motivation, Stein told Fox News Digital.By repeatedly pairing something enjoyable with an activity like cleaning, writing or even exercising, it's possible to train the brain to release dopamine in advance, which associates pleasure with that behavior.NEGATIVE THOUGHTS MIGHT BE CHANGING YOUR BRAIN IN SURPRISING WAYS, STUDY SUGGESTS"There is strong scientific support for this, from both behavioral psychology and neuroscience," said Stein, noting that pairing stimuli and rewards can influence behavior, even potentially helping with addiction.This anchoring technique can also be helpful for those who have conditions like ADHD or depression, where the dopamine system can become out of whack or dysregulated.Stein noted that some people may struggle with a condition called anhedonia, which means they have issues with experiencing pleasure, starting a task or keeping their attention focused."By strategically anchoring pleasant stimuli to challenging tasks, individuals can essentially 'prime the brain" to better tolerate, or even enjoy, those activities, according to the doctor."Overall, its about working with your brain chemistry, not against it."One of the biggest myths surrounding dopamine is that its just a "pleasure chemical," according to Stein."It would be more accurate to say that dopamine is the motivation or anticipation neurotransmitter," he said.While dopamine anchoring can be a helpful tool in some cases, experts say it should not be relied upon as the sole treatment.There can be downsides to relying on this technique as a self-help strategy. "Like any other psychological tool, dopamine anchoring needs to be used mindfully," Stein cautioned.There is the risk that someone could come to rely on external rewards to do anything at all, which could undermine natural motivation over time.People should also avoid using unhealthy or overly stimulating rewards as anchors, like eating sugary snacks after reaching a goal or using social media after finishing an assignment behaviors that can lead to dysregulation, poor focus or burnout, the expert said.Stein suggests anchoring with things that are energizing but not addictive, and building in breaks where motivation can arise more naturally."Think of dopamine anchoring as a bridge, not a crutch," he advised.Stein also pointed out the misconception that people can endlessly boost dopamine. While short-term boosts are possible, too much artificial stimulation can dull the natural response over time."The best way to begin practicing dopamine anchoring is to start small," Stein said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe expert offered the examples below for those looking to try this technique."If you do this consistently, over time your brain will begin to associate that task with a sense of ease, and maybe even enjoyment," Stein said.The goal is to keep the rewards simple and non-addictive so they dont get in the way of the task, according to the expert.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"Overall, sustainability is key," Stein said."Youre not trying to trick your brain rather, youre training it. And like any other form of training, the more consistent the pattern, the stronger the association."
