    Tom Brady dishes on the 'challenge' for Bill Belichick in 1st season at North Carolina
    Bill Belichick is embarking on his first season as the head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels, with high expectations and a dose of controversy due to off-field drama.Still, Tar Heels players and officials have maintained the outside noise has caused no distractions, and theyre certainly going to be ready for their Sept. 1 matchup against TCU.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMTom Brady, who helped Belichick and the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles, spoke recently about what the longtime NFL coach will bring to the table."What they're going to get is, obviously, the most prepared, the most hard-working coach that I had ever been around," Brady told FOX Sports Joel Klatt on the latest episode of "Big Noon Conversations.""If you go to that school, you will be prepared to play at the next level. He's going to teach you the right fundamentals, the right techniques. He's going to have a high expectation for you, and you're going to develop a lot. That's what I know.TOM BRADY IMPLORES PARENTS TO 'TEACH YOUR KID THE RIGHT VALUES' AMID RISE OF NIL IN COLLEGE SPORTS"I think the challenge for him is he's dealing with a lot of probably underdeveloped players, because he's dealt with guys that are four, five, six years further along than what he's normally had to deal with. So I think there's probably a learning curve for him, and this is just me hypothesizing. I don't have much knowledge of it, but I'm sure it's different coaching a 17 or 18-year-old than even a 22 or 23-year-old."Brady also wondered how much the student-athletes will be able to retain given Belichicks vast coaching knowledge. He noted that they wont have as much time to prepare for a game when compared to that of a professional NFL player.Regardless, Belichick will be called upon to lead a team that was 6-7 under Mack Brown last year.The Tar Heels have never made it to the College Football Playoff nor have they really been national title contenders. The last time the team won at least 10 games was in 2015 with Marquise Williams as the starting quarterback. Before that, it was in 1997.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Body of Antarctic explorer found after 66 years after his disappearance
    The British Antarctic Survey announced that the remains of 25-year-old meteorologist Dennis "Tink" Bell were found 66 years after his disappearance. Although Bells remains were recovered in January, they were only recently formally identified."I had long given up on finding my brother. It is just remarkable, astonishing. I can't get over it," David Bell, Dennis brother, told BBC News. The outlet reported that David was the one to answer the door when the family received a telegraph informing them of the bad news, which he described as a "horrendous moment."David also told the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) that he and his sister, Valerie Kelly, were "shocked and amazed" to hear their brothers remains were found decades after his fatal accident.MISSING FLORIDA MAN WHO WANDERED AWAY AT POPULAR NEW ENGLAND TOURIST DESTINATION FOUND DEADSamples of David and Valeries DNA helped Professor Denise Syndercombe Court, a forensic geneticist at Kings College London, confirm that the remains were their brothers. The two were "more than one million times" more likely than not to be related, according to BAS.After school, Bell joined the Royal Air Force for National Service and trained as a radio operator before joining the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) as a meteorologist in 1958.On July 26, 1959, Bell, along with three other men and two dog sleds, set out to climb a glacier leading to an ice plateau, where they planned to conduct survey and geological work. The men separated into pairs with Bell being accompanied by surveyor Jeff Stokes, while meteorologist Ken Gibson was with geologist Colin Barton, according to the BAS. The BAS noted that Bell and Stokes went off approximately 30 minutes before Gibson and Barton.EXPERIENCED CLIMBER DIES AFTER 3,000-FOOT PLUMMET FROM NORTH AMERICA'S HIGHEST PEAKAs the dogs grew tired in the deep, soft snow, Bell tried to motivate them by running ahead to urge them on. However, according to the BAS, he did so without his skis. Thats when he fell into a crevasse, an accident that led to his death and a decades-long search for his remains.Stokes apparently called down to Bell, who answered. He then lowered a rope and told Bell to tie it to himself. Tragically, Bell tied the rope to his belt and not his body, according to the BAS, citing Anthony Nelsons book, "Of Ice and Men." While the team tried to pull him up to safety, his belt broke, and Bell went back down into the crevasse. This time, however, Bell did not answer.The weather worsened quickly after Bells fall, and while his colleagues risked their lives to save him, they were unable to do so. Gibson said that after about 12 hours they found the site and realized "there was no way he could have survived," according to the BAS.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Dennis was one of the many brave FIDS personnel who contributed to the early science and exploration of Antarctica under extraordinarily harsh conditions. Even though he was lost in 1959, his memory lived on among colleagues and in the legacy of polar research. This discovery brings closure to a decades-long mystery and reminds us of the human stories embedded in the history of Antarctic science," BAS Director Professor Dame Jane Francis said in a statement.Bell's remains were transported to the Falkland Islands aboard the BAS Royal Research Ship Sir David Attenborough. They were then handed over to His Majestys Coroner for the British Antarctic Territory, Malcolm Simmons, who accompanied them from Stanley in the Falkland Islands to London.

    Trump's earliest supporter announces bid for Alabama Senate seat
    FIRST ON FOX: Another House Republican has their eyes set on a Senate seat in the 2026 midterms.Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., told Fox News Digital in an interview that he plans to run for Sen. Tommy Tubervilles seat in the upper chamber.Moore, who has represented the southern Alabama 1st congressional district since 2021, styled himself as a fiscal hawk with a longstanding history of supporting President Donald Trump. Indeed, he was the first elected official in the country to endorse Trump during his first run for office in 2015.TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN SAYS TRUMP 'RIGHTLY' TOOK OVER DC POLICE, DEMANDS BOWSER, OTHERS TESTIFY ON CRIME"I think my number one job is to protect the people's liberty and to support the president in that process," Moore said. "And so, for us, it's an opportunity to continue to fight for the America First agenda, and also make sure we have conservatives in the Senate from Alabama that are truly the voice of the people."And one of his top concerns in Washington is the ever-increasing national debt, which has neared $37 trillion and counting, according to the Fox Business National Debt Tracker.One of his top priorities when helping to craft Trump's "big, beautiful bill" was to apply downward pressure on Congress spending habits to achieve roughly $1.5 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade. "I think that we'll have to hold the line on spending," Moore said. "But again, this didn't get this way overnight. You're not going to fix it overnight. So you have to do it gradually."SENATE REPUBLICANS REVEAL DRAMATIC DEALMAKING BEHIND TRUMP'S $3.3T MEGABILL PASSAGEMoore, 58, is not alone in the race to replace Tuberville, who earlier this year announced that he would make a bid for the governors mansion after serving only one term in the upper chamber. He joins Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson in the Republican primary.There are also a trio of candidates running on the Democratic side, including Kyle Sweetser, Dakarai Larriett and Mark Wheeler II.And despite his conservative bona fides he is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and touted his deeply conservative voting record Moore believed that the number one issue in the Senate, and Congress in general, is the growing partisan divide.TRUMP'S SENATE CLOSER: REPUBLICAN FRESHMAN EMERGES AS KEY WHITE HOUSE ALLYHe noted that when he came to Washington in 2021, he was disappointed that Republicans and Democrats didnt work together more in the lower chamber under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif."I think most people in D.C. are principled," he said. "They're trying to do the right thing. There's perfect, and that's sometimes the enemy of practical. And so we try to make sure that even on the big, beautiful bill, it wasn't perfect. There were 435 versions of perfect in the House, but having principled people come to the table and say, Let's get a practical solution so we can get wins for this administration and for our country' I think that's what we have to do in the Senate.""I don't think we have to look at the opposing side as the enemy always," he said. "And I think we have to keep in mind, too, that they represent areas, and they have a different experience in life."Still, despite his desire to create bipartisan inroads in the upper chamber, which is a must in most legislative fights, given the 60-vote filibuster threshold, Moore supports a change to Senate rules for confirmations to blast through Senate Democrats blockade of Trumps nominees.Hes in support of shortening the debate time on nominees, one of the options on the table for when lawmakers return from their August break, and argued that Democrats "are playing the obstructionist" despite Trump winning big in the 2024 election."The American people are fed up with that, so I say we change the rules and allow these nominees to get the jobs and start doing the job so they can help the president achieve his agenda," he said.

    'Things need to change': Senate Democrats sharpen criticism of Israel as humanitarian concerns grow
    Senate Democrats have undergone a steady tonal shift on Israel, with a recent vote to block arms sales to the Jewish State giving a glimpse at the evolution on the Hill.More Democrats in the upper chamber than ever before voted alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to halt the $675 million sale of thousands of bombs and guidance kits for the bombs and to block the sale of automatic rifles to Israel.BERNIE SANDERS TO FORCE SENATE VOTE ON BLOCKING ARMS SALES TO ISRAELSanders' push ultimately failed late last month, but over half of all Senate Democrats voted alongside him, with many voting with him for the first time. Meanwhile, all Senate Republicans voted against them."The tide is turning," Sanders, who routinely caucuses with Democrats, said in a statement. "The American people do not want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza. The Democrats are moving forward on this issue, and I look forward to Republican support in the near future."Getting Republicans on board for future attempts, as Sanders hoped would happen, is a stretch at best."Republicans stand with Israel," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Jim Risch, R-Idaho, told Fox News Digital in a statement."Senator Sanders' resolution to block arms sales would have reinstated the failed policies of the Biden administration and would abandon Americas closest ally in the Middle East," he continued. "We cant afford to go back there."TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN SAYS TRUMP 'RIGHTLY' TOOK OVER DC POLICE, DEMANDS BOWSER, OTHERS TESTIFY ON CRIMEBut the change within the Democratic caucus was likely spurred by the release of photos of starving children in the Gaza Strip, which earned shocked reactions from both lawmakers and President Donald Trump.Many Democrats have pinned the blame on Israel and argued that the Jewish state has put a chokehold on aid that is meant for civilians in Gaza, while Republicans contend that the terrorist organization Hamas is stealing the food."What's going on is unacceptable, and Israel has the power to fix it," Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, told Fox News Digital.Like Sanders, King typically caucuses with Senate Democrats. But unlike his fellow Independent colleague, he has routinely stood firm in his support of Israel. But the photos and reports of widespread malnutrition prompted him to vote to block arms sales."Israel's the one that's not letting the aid get in," he said. "The humanitarian response is entirely within Israel's hands, and they've been blocking, slowing, starting and stopping, to the point where I just could no longer stand silent."And like King, Sen. Jean Shaheen, the top ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, changed course and voted in favor of blocking arms sales out of concern that food aid was not making its way to Palestinians."I think it's important to send the message to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government that things need to change," the New Hampshire Democrat said in an interview with PBS Newshour.SENATE REPUBLICANS REVEAL DRAMATIC DEALMAKING BEHIND TRUMP'S $3.3T MEGABILL PASSAGEBut Republicans charged that it was not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus fault that food aid was not making its way into Gaza, and instead believed that it was Hamas stealing the food.Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said that Israel wants to make sure that the food aid actually makes it to civilians in Hamas."Israel and the US have cut out, cut off most of Hamas cash flow," Kennedy said. "And a lot of their cash flows depends on stealing the food and selling it, sometimes to their own people, absorbing the prices."And not every Senate Democrat is on the same page when it comes to their position on the Jewish State.Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has routinely slammed Democrats for criticizing Israel, and believed that his party was moving further away from his position."What I really fundamentally believe, there's been a wholesale shift, even within my party, to blame Israel for the situations and the circumstances overall," Fetterman told Fox News Digital."And I don't really understand. It's like we've seen the same pictures and, of course, what's happened in Gaza is devastating.""But so, for me, I blame Hamas and Iran," he continued. "And I don't know why there's not like a collective global outrage."

    Man in DC shot and killed hours after Trump federalizes city's police department
    A man was shot and killed in Washington, D.C. on Monday, just hours after President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the citys police department.The victim was foundin the 1200 block of 12th Street NW in Washington, D.C.s Logan Circle neighborhood around 7 p.m., a Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital."Upon arrival, officers located an adult male, unconscious and not breathing, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. DC Fire and EMS responded and transported the victim to a local hospital, where despite all lifesaving efforts the victim was pronounced dead," the spokesperson added. "Homicide Detectives are investigating."On Monday, Trump said he would federalize the police department and place it under the authority of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in an effort to address crime. He also said he was activating approximately 800 National Guard troops to "reestablish law, order and public safety" in the capital.FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL BACKS TRUMP'S DC POLICE TAKEOVER: 'WHEN YOU LET GOOD COPS BE COPS, THEY DELIVER'Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move "unsettling and unprecedented.""While this action today is unsettling and unprecedented, I cant say that given some of the rhetoric of the past, that were totally surprised," Bowser said during a news conference. "I can say to D.C. residents that we will continue to operate our government in a way that makes you proud."TRUMP'S PLAN TO DEPLOY NATIONAL GUARD IN DC SPARKS BACKLASH FROM RESIDENTSBUT SOME WELCOME ITThe District of Columbia Home Rule Act allows Trump to place the city's police department under federal control for up to 30 days.The Washington, D.C. City Council called the temporary takeover a "manufactured intrusion on local authority.""Violent crime in the District is at the lowest rates weve seen in 30 years. Federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department is unwarranted because there is no Federal emergency," the council said in a joint statement. "Further, the National Guard has no public safety training or knowledge of local laws. The Guards role does not include investigating or solving crimes in the District. Calling out the National Guard is an unnecessary deployment with no real mission."Metropolitan Police Department data shows that while the homicide rate is falling, the last five years saw the greatest number of murders since 2008.

    Jon Gruden wins key ruling in Nevada in case against NFL
    Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden was the beneficiary of a key ruling in his case against the league on Monday as the Nevada Supreme Court determined that his case could proceed in court instead of arbitration.Gruden sued the NFL in 2021 after he parted ways with the Las Vegas Raiders when leaked emails revealed racist, sexist and homophobic language.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe former head coach and longtime football personality filed a lawsuit against the league and Commissioner Roger Goodell, alleging that a "malicious and orchestrated campaign" was used to destroy his career by leaking the emails. The leaked messages were from when he was an ESPN analyst and "Monday Night Football" broadcaster.The NFL appealed to Nevadas high court in 2022 after a judge in Las Vegas rejected the leagues bids to dismiss Grudens claim outright or to order the out-of-court talks through an arbitration process that could be overseen by Goodell.On Monday, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in a 5-2 decision that "the arbitration clause in the NFL Constitution is unconscionable and does not apply to Gruden as a former employee."The NFL declined to comment on the ruling, according to The Associated Press.Grudens lawyers applauded the ruling in a statement to Pro Football Talk.SPORTS PUNDIT SKIP BAYLESS BLASTS NFL TEAMS AS 'RACIST FOOLS' FOR PASSING ON SHEDEUR SANDERS AFTER QB'S DEBUT"Were very pleased with the Nevada Supreme Courts decision, not just for Coach Gruden but for all employees facing an employers unfair arbitration process," Adam Hosmer-Henner of McDonald Carano LLP told the outlet. "This victory further vindicates Coach Grudens reputation, and it clears the way to swiftly bringing him full justice and holding the NFL accountable."Gruden was the head coach of the Raiders when the team moved from Oakland to Las Vegas. He is seeking monetary damages, alleging that the selective disclosure of the emails ruing his career and endorsement deals.Since he left the Raiders, Gruden has worked his way back into the NFL unofficially. Hes been seen on the sidelines working with players from the New Orleans Saints and, most recently, the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. Hes also a part-owner and consultant for the Arena Football One Leagues Nashville Kats.He expressed hope for an NFL return in July when visiting the Lions."Hopefully Im not done," Gruden told reporters, via theDetroit Free Press. "Im about to make a comeback. Im working hard to maybe get one more shot, but hopefully some of these guys that fell off my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me cause Im looking for a job."I dont care if I coach at Jones Junior High," he added. "Im going to coach again. Im still coaching. Im just not on a team officially, but I do have some private assignments I work on, and I wear some gear when Im watching the games that nobody knows about who Im pulling for."The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    DC councilman charged with corruption scheme says leaders are 'responsible,' don't need 'federal interference'
    President Donald Trump's federal takeover of Washington, D.C.'s law enforcement is facing criticism from an eyebrow-raising source: a D.C. city councilman who is facing charges of running a bribery scheme out of his office.Trayon White, 41, was sworn in to the city council on Friday, having been elected to the post despite facing an upcoming trial on federal bribery charges in 2026. Asked about Trump's then-threatened takeover of D.C. law enforcement, White argued that D.C.'s leaders are already "responsible," and that a federal takeover would only "cripple" the city."I think we have one of the strongest budgets of any city for the last 20 years. We are fiscally responsible. We have a AAA bond rating. We've shown that we can be responsible with our funds. We don't need federal interference. In fact, they've only crippled Washington D.C. and the progress we've made over the last four decades," White told reporters.The D.C. council voted to expel White in February as his bribery charges began to play out. He nevertheless won back his seat in July, basing his campaign around claims that the FBI had targeted him unjustly. He claimed last week that the federal agency was out to "kill" him.TRUMP IS THREATENING TO 'FEDERALIZE' DC WITH NATIONAL GUARD AND MORE. HERE'S HOW THAT COULD PLAY OUT"You know the FBI is after me, you know, but I believe that, you know, not just arrest me, but, you know, but I believe they want to kill me," White told reporters Friday.TRUMP VOWS TO MAKE DC 'SAFER' AND 'BEAUTIFUL' AS CAPITAL BATTLES CRIME AND HOMELESSNESSThe FBI arrested White in August 2024 after he was accused by federal authorities of agreeing to accept $156,000 in bribes. His trial is scheduled to begin in January 2026. White denies any wrongdoing and is pleading not guilty in the federal case, despite apparent video of him allegedly pocketing cash-stuffed envelopes.A Justice Department statement from August 2024 alleges that White agreed to accept the bribes in exchange for "using his official position to pressure renewal" of contracts valued at $5.2 million.Trump announced on Monday that his administration was federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and deploying 800 National Guardsmen to the city in an effort to combat crime and homelessness. U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro blames much of the problem on "young punks" who view themselves as untouchable by the law.DC COUNCIL EXPELS TRAYON WHITE FOLLOWING FEDERAL BRIBERY CHARGEThe alleged bribery scheme was focused on violence-prevention programs, with White allegedly pressuring employees at the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) and the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) to re-up certain contracts.White was allowed to run in the special election because he had not been convicted of a felony."So we sent a message loud and clear to D.C. City Council that Trayon White is here to stay," White said in his victory speech, according to the Associated Press. The outlet added that the troubled, once-ousted council member told the story of his return to office as one of resilience and redemption.
