Saquon Barkley played a key role in the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl-winning season so much so that a narrative emerged about a resurgence of the running back position.Barkley suggested in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated that talk of a resurgence implied not that talented running backs were lacking in recent years, but that teams had grown reluctant to hand out large contracts, causing compensation for elite rushers to dip.The three-time Pro Bowler said he believed the dip stemmed from "three to four" high-profile running backs signing big deals and subsequently getting injured.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBarkley called the devaluation of running backs a narrative that was designed to keep salaries down."(It) wasnt, like, a diss to just me," Barkley told the outlet. "Its something they were trying to make up, just so they can get players for cheaper value. And if you make that argument for running backs, you can do that for any position in the NFL.""Now, you have owners and GMs trying to find great players for cheaper value," Barkley said. "Thats what it all was. I got tagged. Josh Jacobs got tagged (by the Las Vegas Raiders).""Im not going to sit here and say there was colluding. Im not going into all that. But football is football. If you cannot run the ball, youre done."COWBOYS' JERRY JONES EMPHASIZES 'ART OF THE DEAL' MESSAGE IN MICAH PARSONS NEGOTIATIONSBarkley pointed out that teams routinely sign wide receivers to big contracts as they enter their 30s, and if those players underperform, it isnt discussed nearly as much as when running backs hit that stage of their careers."That (past prime) notion is so funny," Barkley said. "Its bunk, all the running-back-position-is-dying stuff. You got wide receivers who [teams] pay all this money to, and when they get into their 30s, theyre not performing at the highest level; you just never hear that. How many quarterbacks can you name who played into their later 30s? Everyones not Tom Brady. They have to let that go!"Last season, the 28-year-old delivered one of the best rushing seasons in NFL history.In 16 games he sat out Week 18 ahead of the playoff run Barkley rushed for 2,005 yards on 345 attempts with 13 touchdowns, averaging 5.8 yards per carry. He led the league in rushing yards, attempts and yards per game.Barkley carried that dominance into the postseason, rushing for 499 yards on 91 attempts with five touchdowns in four playoff games leading all running backs in each category.Now, Barkley will look to help lead the Eagles in their pursuit of another Super Bowl ring when they open the season against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A biotech CEO is taking Uber to court after an illegal immigrant driver was caught on camera violently assaulting him in downtown Charleston, South Carolinasending his dog crashing to the pavement.The lawsuit, filed Monday in Charleston County, alleges TC BioPharm CEO Bryan Kobel, 45, suffered a concussion in April after Uber driver and illegal Russian national Uliumdzhiev Vadim Nikolaevich, 42, attacked him in a King Street restaurant parking lot.Nikolaevich was arrested and released on a $10,000 bond for second-degree assault and battery, according to Charleston County Sheriffs Office records.He was later placed on an immigration hold after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Georgia, according to Kobels attorneys.IDAHO POLICE CHIEF REVEALS NEW DETAILS ABOUT BRYAN KOHBERGER STUDENT MURDER INVESTIGATIONIn an interview with Fox News Digital, Kobel said the driver appeared to be upset about his service dog. When Nikolaevich refused to allow the pet, Kobel asked to cancel the ride.Surveillance footage shows Nikolaevich getting out of the Audi SUV, grabbing Kobel by the throat, then headbutting and punching himknocking the unconscious CEO and his dog to the ground.Nikolaevich quickly got back into the car and drove away, as stunned witnesses called 911 and rushed to help, footage showed.IDAHO MURDER DOCUMENTS REVEAL VICTIM'S STALKING FEARS AND KOHBERGER'S 'INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR' AT SCHOOL"I can't even look, oh my God," a female caller said in a 911 call minutes after the attack. "The suspect has driven off."Another male 911 caller detailed the bloody scene."He's bleeding very badly in the back of the head," the man said. "We're going to need an ambulance. Send the police there's a gazillion witnesses."Kobel was taken to the hospital with a severe concussion and received seven staples for a head laceration, according to his attorneys. Kobel said a nurse and doctor affiliated with MUSC Health University Medical Center quickly rendered aid, ensuring the best outcome.However, unlike Kobel, Nikolaevich's night was not over after the attack. Kobel said he picked up a new ride two minutes after speeding off."This man violently assaults me, leaves me effectively bleeding out from my head in a parking lot, speeds off, and picks somebody up two minutes later," Kobel said. "When I left the hospital, my account had been suspended, and within 48 hours, it had been deactivated. Despite me sharing hospital records, police records, the detective's name and phone number, and images of the assault, Uber chose to effectively victim-blame me and vilify me."SURPRISE WITNESS IN IDAHO STUDENT MURDERS SAYS SHE 'SAW BRYAN THERE' ON DEADLY NIGHTAuthorities later told Kobel that Nikolaevich's drivers license was fake, and he was a Russian national living in the U.S. illegally."Riders rely on Uber to know who is behind the wheel," Kenneth Berger, Kobel's attorney, wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Were seeking answers and accountability for how an undocumented individual using a fraudulent ID was able to access Ubers platform, assault a passenger, and flee. Publicly traded companies that profit from public trust must have screening and real-time identity systems that actually protect people."The suit alleges that, as a direct result of Nikolaevich's conduct while working for Uber and Raiser, Kobel suffered serious injuries and losses, including lost enjoyment of life, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, and medical expenses."It was about 60 days before I could really have some semblance of a normal life," Kobel said. "I had to bring our employees into a Zoom call and inform them of what had happened. I couldn't look at screens, I couldn't really focus my eyes I had a complete loss of vocabulary. You wonder, will I ever be whole again. Am I ever going to be the person I was. It's made me more jaded, for sure."Furthermore, attorneys claim the rideshare giant is negligent in screening, hiring and monitoring drivers, leading to safety risks for its riders."Uber let a wolf into the hen house," Kobel said. "They allowed a man who was in a country illegally, a Russian national with a fake license, go through their background check and snake his way in, and then have what was nothing more than a violent outburst for no reason."DHS and ICE did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.The Charleston Police Department declined Fox News Digital's request for comment, citing pending litigation. The Charleston County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The Washington State Department of Licensing is investigating how an illegal immigrant obtained a commercial drivers license, as questions loom following a deadly crash in Florida that killed three people last Tuesday.The case has reignited debate over state licensing loopholes and immigration enforcement, raising questions about how a noncitizen without legal status could have obtained a commercial drivers license."The Department of Licensing is investigating the 2023 issuance of Mr. Singhs prior commercial driver license. I dont at this time have a timeline on when the investigation will be completed, nor what we can release," a spokesperson told Fox News Digital in an email on Thursday.The suspect, Harjinder Singh, entered the United States illegally in 2018 at the southern border, but he was denied authorization to work by the first Trump administration in 2020. Still, he was able to get a commercial drivers license in California, according to the Department of Homeland Security.EXPERT REVEALS HOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER MAY HAVE GOTTEN COMMERCIAL LICENSE BEFORE FATAL FLORIDA CRASHIn addition, he also got a commercial drivers license in July 2023 in the state of Washington, which is against the law there, according to the Department of Transportation. The driver allegedly made a U-turn in an area on the Florida Turnpike where such a turn was prohibited, causing his truck to crash with a minivan, killing three people. In addition, he failed an English proficiency assessment and a road sign test done by federal investigators."During [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's] interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance," DOT said in a statement. "The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."The California Department of Motor Vehicles has not responded to requests for comment on the issuance of the license. However, California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsoms press office got into an exchange on X.com with DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin about the details of how he got a work permit.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER ACCUSED OF KILLING THREE PEOPLE FAILED ENGLISH, ROAD SIGN TESTS: DOT"Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless," Newsoms press office posted earlier this week."False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020. It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL. Sincerely, Genius," McLaughlin replied.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGESingh was extradited to Florida from California on Thursday. Theres been concerns in other states about illegal immigrants being issued standard drivers licenses as well, including allegations from a whistleblower in Kentucky alleging that people would pay under the table to obtain the licenses illegally.ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCUSED OF CAUSING FATAL SEMI TRUCK CRASH THAT KILLED 3 PEOPLE: 'SHOCKING AND CRIMINAL'Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday about how Singhs case could happen in the first place."Just as states issue drivers licenses, they also issue commercial drivers licenses (CDLs). States are not supposed to issue CDLs to a person unless they are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (green card holder). There seems to be a loophole for a state to issue a CDL to someone who is merely authorized to work in the U.S.," Ries explained in a statement."Note that the Trump (45) administration denied Harjinder Singhs application for work authorization, but the Biden administration later granted his request. That could be enough to exploit this CDL loophole in a willing state," the expert continued.

Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins on Thursday blamed California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the deaths of three Floridians, allegedly caused when an illegal immigrant trucker who obtained a CDL in California made an illegal U-turn on Floridas Turnpike and struck a van.Collins declared his visit to California "isn't business as usual" as he prepared to depart for Tallahassee with Indian national Harjinder Singh in tow.Collins claimed Newsom is the culprit for systemic issues, particularly on the illegal immigration front, that he said led to Singh wrecking in St. Lucie County on August 12."I dont want to be here today. We're here today because of tragedy. Three Floridians' lives ended early. "Three lives lost because of Gavin Newsom, because of California's failed policies. We're done with that s---."DESANTIS: STATE LINE WON'T PROTECT CRIMINAL ILLEGALS; SENDS 'CHUCK NORRIS' DEPUTY TO NAB FUGITIVE TRUCKERCollins said Singh illegally crossed the border, got a CDL in California and later could only answer three of 16 questions properly due to English illiteracy when he was interrogated by Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) following the deadly crash."That thug fled back here because he knew these policies would defend him."Collins spoke of allegations against Singh in the broader context of illegal immigrants putting citizens in danger."How many more lives have to be lost because of Gavin Newsom's failed policies? How many more lives have to be lost because of fentanyl, because of gangs, because of rampant disregard for American citizens?""The fact of the matter is Gavin Newsom continues to care more about tweets and what goes out on social media than taking care of the American citizens and the citizens of California," Collins said.In recent days, Newsoms press offices official X feed has mimicked the "ALL CAPS," stream-of-consciousness style and at times verbiage like "your favorite governor" of President Donald Trumps Truth Social posts.Newsom returned fire on X, with his press office's account claiming Florida "let a murder suspect walk.""California police had to step in and arrest him, and now Floridas new LG is staging a photo op to pick him up."In comments to Fox News Digital, Newsom spokeswoman Diana Crofts-Pelayo rejected Collins' claims as well:"So, lets get this straight: Florida let a murder suspect walk, California police had to step in and arrest him, and now Floridas new LG is staging a photo op to pick him up?"ILLEGAL TRUCKER DEPORTED HIMSELF TO CA,' LAWMAKER SAYS, WHILE REVEALING SYSTEMIC CRISIS IN TRANSPORTATION"The guy who lost to Mickey Mouse is now proving that Californias so-called sanctuary laws actually work. Thanks, Ron," Crofts-Pelayo said.Newsom's account went on to call DeSantis "Meatball Ron," and claim he "lost to Mickey Mouse" in an apparent reference to the battle over the "Reedy Creek Improvement District" in which Walt Disney World sits. The district has special authorizations to self-govern in some ways, including maintaining its own highway network."[DeSantis] is now proving that Californias so-called sanctuary laws actually work. Thanks, Governor."Collins, whom Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed "The Chuck Norris of Florida Politics" for his eagerness to go into dangerous or tenuous situations like retrieving Singh as well as Jewish Americans trapped in Israel after the 2023 Hamas attack, said he was out of his element in the Golden State but undeterred from the mission at hand."This isn't politics as usual. I am not your run-of-the-mill lieutenant governor," Collins told reporters at Stockton Airport south of Sacramento."In the words of what I would say, some left-leaning Californians, I don't identify as a politician. I identify as a God-fearing, gun-loving, freedom-defending, one-legged, retired Green Beret," said Collins, a former Tampa state senator who lost his leg in the War on Terror.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPCollins claimed Newsom had said he only came to California for the media attention."What a bunch of hogwash. I don't think he understands the first thing about leadership. Leadership is getting on the ground and saying the hard things," Collins said, quipping California is not a Florida Republican's "home turf."

We have arrived. This is no longer a cautionary tale or a fate we can avoid. We are a fascist state," On Democracy podcast host Fred Wellman wrote."I do wonder how the images of people screaming and crying out that they just want to work and take care of their families, while being tackled and dragged away by masked men comport with anybody's vision of a safer city.

Young men's shift to the political right has complicated the dating world and led to distrust by women of dating apps, according to The Atlantic writer Faith Hill, who appeared on CNN on Thursday.Hill argued that women's growing distrust of dating apps stems from men young men in particular becoming more conservative while young women are becoming more progressive, leading to the sexes "growing further apart in a lot of ways.""You see that young men are moving further to the right. Young women growing more progressive. And I think for a lot of women in particular, it can just sort of feel like, This is not a time where I trust men I feel respected by men. I don't necessarily want to go out and meet strangers who are men," Hill said.CHUCK TODD RIPS DEMOCRATS FOR STRUGGLING WITH MEN, SUGGESTS MALE SUCCESS OFTEN SEEN AS GENDER ADVANTAGEAccording to The Atlantic writer, this social phenomenon is happening during a time when the Trump administration is seen as "stripping away reproductive rights and protections against gender discrimination," which is making women more conscious of their prospective partners' political beliefs."And you can see in surveys that there is this kind of, resentment among a lot of men, kind of a backlash to Me Too, a backlash to women gaining financial independence, going to college more than men now, where, you know, among Gen Z even, far more women who identify as feminists than men," she noted.Hill contended that there is a "real feeling" among women that the "larger political backdrop is seeping into individual relationships," which is making it much more difficult to trust others.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURELater on in the discussion, Hill brought up the idea of "heteropessimism," which is a social phenomenon in which heterosexual individuals become disaffected by the prospect of being in a relationship with someone of the opposite sex."You hear a lot of people talk about this idea of heteropessimism today, which I think just gets at this idea that a lot of people, a lot of women particularly, are fed up with the way that they're being treated by men on these apps, and with this kind of backdrop of hearing about how few men would call themselves feminists, or the kind of whole manosphere of resentful single men becoming this kind of cultural force that is, like, swaying elections," she argued.Hill was asked by CNN's Audie Cornish whether she felt that people like themselves talking about how bad dating has gotten is exacerbating the problem and making dating feel hopeless."I worry about that, I do. And I think that there's so much of a narrative these days about how bad dating is about women's sort of valid fears about what could go wrong, like, I don't want to give readers the idea, or listeners, the idea that it's always going to be bad they always need to be distrustful," she said. "But I also think there's a reason this narrative exists, people are picking up on something and, you know, people want to feel like that is heard, like they're not crazy."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward has been accused of physically and sexually assaulting the mother of his three-year-old son while under the influence of crystal meth, according to a civil lawsuit filed in Texas on Wednesday.The lawsuit, which was filed in Harris County District Court, is in addition to the criminal charge Ward faces following a June 12 arrest on a felony domestic violence charge. He was accused of choking Cristy West, with whom he was in a long-term relationship.Ward, 34, was also arrested earlier this month for testing positive for alcohol, which was a violation of his bond.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe civil suit, in which West is being represented by Tony Buzbee, is seeking more than $20 million in damages. Buzbee has represented victims in many high-profile sexual assault and domestic violence cases.In the suit, Ward is accused of forcing his way into Wests home in the early hours of June 12. West alleged that Ward was showing "erratic and aggressive" behavior, and she believed he was under the influence."On that night, she suspected he was under the influence of methamphetamines, specifically, crystal meth," the lawsuit read.TEXANS' JIMMIE WARD 'WILL BE VINDICATED' FOLLOWING FELONY ASSAULT ARREST, ATTORNEY SAYSThe suit also alleged that Ward threatened to kill West on multiple occasions, while slapping and choking her, as well as her being "dragged" into a bedroom.Due to the alleged altercation, their son woke up and West tried to calm him down. West then alleged that Ward demanded she perform a sexual act on him, and she did so out of fear for her life. Then, the suit stated that West ran out of her home with her son while "naked and visibly injured" after Ward went looking for her cell phone after accusing her of talking to other men. West called 911, and Ward was arrested.The suit also alleged a previous incident occurred where Ward "lured West" to his Houston home "under the pretense of giving her money for their sons karate lessons" on April 25.Ward allegedly told West she had to enter the home, and then into his bedroom, where he grabbed her and demanded a sexual act. West allegedly "resisted, screamed, and managed to leave."Steve Jackson, Wards attorney, told KPRC 2 that this lawsuit was previously filed in Montgomery County and was dismissed."This is the same civil lawsuit that was filed against Mr. Ward by other attorneys who also previously tried and failed in a jury trial to prove that Jimmie was married to Ms. West. It is our intention at this time to focus on the criminal allegations and the upcoming grand jury hearing in hopes of this matter being dismissed."Ward is at Texans training camp, but he is still recovering from foot surgery he underwent during the offseason. He has been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list since the start of training camp.Ward is heading into his third season with the Texans, who named him a defensive captain last year. He totaled 48 combined tackles, two interceptions and one returned for a touchdown during the 2024 season.
