    Ex-Rams star Jared Goff says he was blindsided by trade to Lions: 'Real taste of true adversity'
    After being the first player selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, Jared Goff experienced some highs and lows during his five-year run with the Los Angeles Rams.Beginning in his sophomore campaign, Goff took a noticeable leap forward once Sean McVay took the Rams head coaching reins. Goff earned Pro Bowl nods in 2017 and 2018, with the latter season culminating with a Rams' Super Bowl appearance.But Goff would ultimately quarterback the Rams for just two more seasons, as the franchise decided to trade him to the Detroit Lions in exchange for veteran signal caller Matthew Stafford.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMGoff is one of the NFL quarterbacks who agreed to allow Netflix's cameras to follow him throughout the 2024 season for the streaming giant's docuseries "Quarterback." The latest season of the series premiered this week.RAMS COACH SEAN MCVAY REFLECTS ON HANDLING OF JARED GOFF DEPARTURE: HE DESERVED BETTERDuring one of the episodes, Goff recalled his feelings when he learned his time in a Rams uniform had come to an end. He suggested he was completely blindsided by the move to Detroit."Three weeks after the last game of the season, get a call from Sean and really did not expect anything," Goff explained on the show. "He lets me know they're trading me to Detroit, and I'm like, 'Whoa, OK, all right. What the hell? What's happening?' I would say about 30 seconds after that phone call, it was on Twitter."Goff added that he was left with feelings of betrayal. He also alluded to an apparent lack of conversations with any of the Rams' football personnel decision-makers about being included in a possible trade prior to receiving a phone call from McVay."You feel like you've been betrayed, or like you're not wanted," said Goff. "And I think for me, ultimately it was the fact that there was not a conversation had, and there wasn't like a, 'Hey we're thinking of moving on' type of thing.' There was nothing."Goff continued by questioning the level of "maturity" that was involved in the handling of his situation."You wish that it wasn't such a blindside and that there was some sort of maturity, I guess, to have that conversation and to be able to let me know what was going on and how things went down. And why this is happening. It was my first real taste of true adversity, and your career is kind of at a fork in the road."While Stafford has led the Rams to a Super Bowl championship, Goff has had success since he arrived in the Motor City. He helped lift the Lions to a 12-5 record and ended the franchise's lengthy NFC Championship game appearance drought in 2023.He received Pro Bowl honors in 2024 and led the Lions to a 15-win season.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    The plot to stop Mamdani: Democrats scramble to block far-left takeover in New York
    They're the kind of headlines that likely put fear into Democrats not only in New York City but across the country.Since his stunning victory two weeks ago in New York City's Democratic Party primary for mayor, stories have surfaced about democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's past.Among the items going viral are reports of a 2020 photo Mamdani posted online that shows him flipping off a statue of Christopher Columbus, stories about comments Mamdani made last December, when he said as mayor he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his recent comments in a cable news interview that "I have many critiques of capitalism."Mamdani's double-digit victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates in last month's primary rocked the Democratic Party, fueling already existing internal divisions between the party's progressive and more moderate wings.RESURFACED MAMDANI PHOTO SPARKS SOCIAL MEDIA FIRESTORMWhile many progressives cheered Mamdani's victory, saying it was a "clear rejection of the old guard," more moderate Democrats are in panic mode over what his win means for the party.And Mamdani's primary performance raised fears that a general election victory by the Ugandan-born 33-year-old state assemblyman from Queens who took a major step toward becoming the first Muslim mayor of the nation's most populous city will only fuel GOP attacks on the party.MAMDANI'S PROFESSOR FATHER CLAIMED HITLER INSPIRED BY ABRAHAM LINCOLNSince his primary victory, Republicans have relentlessly painted Mamdani as an extremist and anchored him to Democrats across the country ahead of next year's midterm elections.The attacks stretched from down ballot on the campaign trail all the way up to the White House, with President Donald Trump claiming that Mamdani was "a 100% Communist Lunatic."Amid the barrage of Mamdani-focused headlines and political rhetoric, some of his rivals are mulling a plan to try and derail him by joining forces in the general election.While Cuomo lost the Democratic mayoral nomination to Mamdani, he's running on the November ballot as an independent, which state rules allow.And Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped his primary bid earlier this year amid sinking poll numbers in the wake of numerous controversies, is seeking re-election as an independent.Also on the ballot in the general election are Jim Walden, a former federal prosecutor running as an independent, and Guardian Angels co-founder Curtis Sliwa, who, for a second straight election, is the Republican mayoral nominee.Walden last week proposed that an independent study should be conducted to see which candidate would be the strongest to take on Mamdani, with the weaker contenders agreeing to drop out.REPUBLICANS USE MAMDANI BOMBSHELL VICTORY OVER CUOMO AS AMMUNITION TO BLAST DEMOCRATS AS EXTREMISTSMamdani, thanks to his primary victory, is the clear frontrunner in the general election in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a roughly six-to-one margin.Walden on Monday said in an interview on Fox News Radio's "Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla" that a Mamdani victory in November "would be terrible for the city and would set us back a whole generation, so I proposed a poll in either late September or early October.""If the candidates agreed to this, we would all agree on a poll that would happen, and it would be winner take all," he said.Cuomo senior advisor Rich Azzopardi backed the idea, saying that Walden "correctly points out that if he, Mayor Adams, and Gov. Cuomo all run, it all but ensures a socialist victory. Jim proposed a fair independent survey be taken in September to determine whose candidacy and vision for New York is strongest in a one-on-one race in November."While Mamdani successfully unified the left in the final weeks before the primary aided by endorsements from progressive heavyweights Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont his Democratic rivals remain anything but united."I think Andrew and Curtis should rally behind me. I won as mayor. You know, I'm the only one that's in this race right now that has ever won as mayor," Adams said Monday at a news conference.And in an interview with CNBC, Adams said that in a recent conversation, the former governor asked him to step aside."I said, 'Andrew, are you that level of arrogant? I'm the sitting mayor!'" Adams said of his conversation with Cuomo. "I'm the sitting mayor of New York City when you just lost to Zohran by 12 points."Adams' poll numbers were sinking even before he was indicted last year on five counts, which accused the mayor of bribery and fraud as part of an alleged "long-running" scheme to personally profit from contacts with foreign officials.THESE DEMOCRATS HAVEN'T ENDORSED MAMDANI, BUT THEY'RE DEFENDING HIM AGAINST TRUMPThe mayor made repeated overtures to President Donald Trump, and the Justice Department earlier this year dismissed the corruption charges, so Adams could potentially work with the Trump administration on its illegal immigration crackdown."Mayor Adams did not run in the Democratic primary because he knew he was anathema to Democrats and unelectable. Nothing has changed," Azzopardi claimed.Mamdani surged to a primary victory thanks to an energetic campaign that put a major focus on affordability and New York City's high cost of living.Mamdani made smart use of social media platforms, including TikTok, as he engaged low-propensity voters. He proposed eliminating fares to ride New York City's vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) "tuition-free," freezing rents on municipal housing, offering "free childcare" for children up to age 5, and setting up government-run grocery stores.And thanks in part to the efforts of a massive grassroots army of volunteers, he rode a wave of support from younger and progressive voters to catapult into first place.And it's reignited the debate over whether the party's policy, or messaging, was to blame for last November's election setbacks, when Democrats lost control of the White House and Senate, and failed to win back the House majority.Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Stephanie Taylor told Fox News that Mamdani's "victory shows that a new direction for the Democratic Party is possible a future of dynamic candidates who appeal to young and working-class voters with a platform that fights for people, not corporations."Matt Bennett, executive vice president for the moderate Democratic-aligned group the Third Way, acknowledged that Mamdani "focused on affordability," which he said is "great."Bennett added Mamdani is "young, charismatic, a great communicator. All that is great. We want to see that."But Bennett told Fox News "the problem is he has the wrong prescription."

    SCOOP: Rep. Mike Collins teases Georgia Senate bid
    SCOOP: Rep. Mike Collins is eying a bid in the Georgia Senate race to challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.Republicans are salivating at the chance to flip the seat, and Collins, in a video first obtained by Fox News Digital, contended that Ossoff "must go.""It was never in my plans to run for the U.S. Senate," Collins said. "I love what I'm doing now. I think I've been effective for my district, the state. I love my district."REPUBLICANS TARGET VULNERABLE SENATE DEMOCRAT OVER LOS ANGELES RIOTING"I mean, just good, solid, hard-working people," he continued. "But I also understand that sometimes you don't do what you want to do, but what you need to do."Collins, a two-term lawmaker representing Georgias 10th Congressional District, still didn't directly say that he was jumping into the race, and noted that he would first consult with his family and President Donald Trump to determine "where we can be the best, most beneficial help in this mission to make sure that we get a Republican in the U.S. Senate from Georgia."GOP GEORGIA SENATE CANDIDATE TARGETS VULNERABLE JON OSSOFF IN AD DEPICTING TRANSGENDER 'FAN'The lawmaker became a staple on the road during Trump's campaign last year, and his bill, the Laken Riley Act, was the first signed into law by the president during his second term.Collins argued that Ossoff "doesn't represent the Georgia values that I cherish so much," and noted that Republicans have largely dominated the state in recent elections, including Trumps victory in November.Still, Ossoff, who is seeking re-election for a second term, was the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in the Peach State in roughly two decades.Devon Cruz, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Georgia, said in a statement to Fox News Digital, "Immediately after voting to rip away health insurance from 750,000 Georgians, Rep. Mike Collins now wants Georgians to give him a promotion?"Cruz continued, "Collins would join a crowded, messy primary that will leave the GOP nominee badly bruised, while Sen. Jon Ossoff is building massive momentum to take on whichever Donald Trump loyalist limps over the finish line."Senate Republicans now view Ossoffs seat as one of the most viable flip opportunities in the upcoming 2026 midterm cycle, when the GOP hopes to keep and expand upon its thin majority in the upper chamber.TRUMP ALLY MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SAYS SHE WON'T RUN FOR SENATE WHILE BLASTING DEMS AND FELLOW REPUBLICANSShould Collins dive all the way into the race, he will go face-to-face against fellow Georgia Republican Rep. Buddy Carter and Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King in the Republican primary.Carter was the first Republican to jump into the contest after Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who was considered a heavy favorite to run against Ossoff, opted to forgo a Senate bid.Recent polling on the race has found that Collins may have an edge against his fellow GOP competitors.The conservative-leaning Trafalgar Group found in a survey conducted in April with 1,426 respondents that Collins held just over a 23-point edge over Carter, who came in second ahead of Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., and King.In a face-off with Ossoff, however, Collins still trailed the Senator by just shy of 5 points.In another straw poll conducted during the Georgia Republican Party State Convention earlier this month with roughly 1,200 respondents, Collins earned the support of 39% of those polled compared to Carters 13%.

    Eric Adams spotlights Marxist message from Mamdani as New York mayoral rivalry heats up
    New York City Mayor Eric Adams has joined in on the criticism of Zohran Mamdani claiming the Democratic Party candidate is too radical to become the Big Apple's next mayor.Much of this criticism surrounding Mamdani has stemmed from his history of espousing radical political ideology, often times linked to, or rooted in, communist-style language.Adams, who ran in 2021 as a Democrat during his first mayoral election but has chosen to run as an Independent this time around, shared a social media post Mamdani put up in 2020 while campaigning for a seat in the New York State Assembly. The post Adams shared included nothing more than the following simple message shared by Mamdani: "Each according to their need, each according to their ability."To the less politically-inclined social media user, the message might seem innocuous, but, in reality, it is a direct quote from Karl Marx, a revolutionary socialist who penned the infamous "Communist Manifesto" with fellow socialist political philosopher Friedrich Engels during the late 19th-century.SOCIALIST'S NYC MAYORAL WIN SPARKS FIERCE DEBATE OVER FEASIBILITY OF RADICAL POLICY AGENDAAdams made this clear in his re-post of Mamdani's May 2020 quote from Marx." Karl Marx, Author of The Communist Manifesto" Adams captioned in his re-post of Mamdani's original post that quoted Marx's writings from his book titled "Critique of the Gotha Program."Ever since Mamdani's shock primary win last month, beating out long-time New York politico and former state governor, Andrew Cuomo, questions have surfaced over whether his views as a self-proclaimed socialist are too radical for someone who wants to be mayor of the largest city in the United States.CUOMO, ADAMS TRADE SHOTS OVER WHO SHOULD DROP OUT IN RACE AGAINST MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYORCritics have pointed to, for example, comments that Mamdani made at a Young Democratic Socialists of America conference in 2021, during which the then-State Assembly member told attendees not to compromise on goals like "seizing the means of production."In a separate video from 2021 published online by The Gravel Institute, Mamdani discusses the need to turn housing from a private commodity to a public one. In the video, he called for luxury condos to be replaced with communal-style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops."If we want to end the housing crisis, the solution has to be moving toward the full de-commodification of housing," Mamdani urged.NEW YORK DEMOCRAT SAYS MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI 'TOO EXTREME TO LEAD'Meanwhile, it isn't just radical comments from Mamdani himself that have been making news, it's also been comments from his Ivy Leage professor father, who Mamdani credits with helping shape his political views as a young person, according to a New York Times article chronicling Mamdani's relationship with his parents.During a 2022 panel discussion hosted by the Asia Society, Mamdani's father, Mahmood, asserted that America was the "genesis of what we call settler-colonialism" around the world. He also declared that Adolf Hitler drew his inspiration for the Holocaust from Abraham Lincoln."With the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations, they herded American Indians into separate territories," the older Mamdani, Columbia's Herbert Lehman professor of government, said. "For the Nazis, this was the inspiration Hitler realized two things: one, that genocide is doable. It is possible to do genocide, that's what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized, is that you don't have to have a common citizenship."Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani and his mayoral campaign for comment but did not hear back in time for publication.

    Supreme Court lets Trumps wrecking ball federal job cuts proceed while legal fight continues
    The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to move forward, at least for now, with plans to implement large-scale cuts to the federal workforce, issuing a stay that lifts a lower courts injunction against the administrations executive order.In a 63 decision, the justices granted the emergency request filed by the White House last week, clearing the way for Executive Order No. 14210 to take effect while legal challenges play out in the Ninth Circuit and potentially the high court.The order directs federal agencies to carry out sweeping reductions in force (RIFs) and agency reorganizations.It has been described by administration officials as a lawful effort to "streamline government and eliminate waste." Critics, including labor unions, local governments and nonprofit organizations, argue the president is unlawfully bypassing Congress to dismantle major parts of the federal government.FEDERAL APPEALS COURT THROWS ROADBLOCK AT TRUMP'S EDUCATION REFORM AGENDAA majority on the Court stressed that it was not ruling on the legality of specific agency cuts, only the executive order itself."Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawfuland because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfiedwe grant the application," the Court wrote. "We express no view on the legality of any Agency RIF and Reorganization Plan produced or approved pursuant to the Executive Order and Memorandum. The District Court enjoined further implementation or approval of the plans based on its view about the illegality of the Executive Order and Memorandum, not on any assessment of the plans themselves. Those plans are not before this Court."The district court in California had blocked the order in May, calling it an overreach. But the Supreme Courts unsigned decision on Tuesday set aside that injunction, pending appeal. The majority said the government is "likely to succeed" in defending the legality of the order.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented forcefully, writing that "this Court sees fit to step in now and release the Presidents wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation." She warned that the executive action represents a "structural overhaul that usurps Congresss policymaking prerogatives" and accused the majority of acting prematurely in an emergency posture without fully understanding the facts.TRUMP ADMIN ASKS SCOTUS TO ALLOW IT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PLANS TO SLASH FEDERAL WORKFORCE"This unilateral decision to transform the Federal Government was quickly challenged in federal court," she wrote. "The District Judge thoroughly examined the evidence, considered applicable law, and made a reasoned determination that Executive Branch officials should be enjoined from implementing the mandated restructuring But that temporary, practical, harm-reducing preservation of the status quo was no match for this Courts demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this Presidents legally dubious actions in an emergency posture."The executive order, issued in February, instructed agencies to prepare immediate plans for reorganizations and workforce reductions, including eliminating roles deemed "non-critical" or "not statutorily mandated." The administration says it is a necessary response to bloated government and outdated structures, claiming the injunction was forcing agencies to retain "thousands of employees whose continuance in federal service... is not in the government and public interest."Labor unions and state officials opposing the plan say it goes beyond normal workforce management and could gut services across multiple agencies. They point to proposed cuts of over 50% at the Department of Energy, and nearly 90% at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.The courts ruling is not a final judgment on the legality of the executive order. It only determines that implementation may proceed temporarily while appeals continue. If the Ninth Circuit upholds the injunction or the Supreme Court declines to take up the case later, the order could again be paused.The American Federal Government Employees Union had a forceful response: "Todays decision has dealt a serious blow to our democracy and puts services that the American people rely on in grave jeopardy. This decision does not change the simple and clear fact that reorganizing government functions and laying off federal workers en masse haphazardly without any congressional approval is not allowed by our Constitution. While we are disappointed in this decision, we will continue to fight on behalf of the communities we represent and argue this case to protect critical public services that we rely on to stay safe and healthy."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe case is Trump v. American Federation of Government Employees."Todays U.S. Supreme Court ruling is another definitive victory for the President and his administration," wrote White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields in an email to Fox News Digital. "It clearly rebukes the continued assaults on the Presidents constitutionally authorized executive powers by leftist judges who are trying to prevent the President from achieving government efficiency across the federal government."

I want to be clear that I disavow her comments. While she was not speaking on my behalf or on behalf of my congregation, I recognize that her comments have caused harm to many who are experiencing terrible loss and anxiety," Rev. Dr. Colin Bossen, boyfriend of Sad Perkins, said in a statement on his site.Perkins, who is a former member of Houstons food insecurity board, disparaged Camp Mystic in a much-criticized social media post following the news of the horrendous flood, which has killed at least 104 people across six counties.YOUNG TEXAS CAMP SURVIVOR DESCRIBES HARROWING MOMENT SHE PREPARED FOR WORST DURING DEADLY FLOODCHRISTIAN GIRLS SUMMER CAMP DEVASTATED BY FLOODS HOLDS DECADES-LONG HISTORY WITH PRESIDENTS, TEXAS POLITICOS"Camp Mystic is a Whites-only girls Christian camp," Perkins said.

"You ain't getting in, you ain't going, period," Perkins said in the post, which is pinned to her TikTok account."It's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found, whatever girls that are missing but you best believe, especially in today's political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls.this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting.

Her term expired in January, and the mayors office said she will not be reappointed in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"The comments shared on social media are deeply inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the missing, Mayor John Whitmire will not reappoint her and is taking immediate steps to remove her permanently from the board," the mayors office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.Following the mayors condemnation, Perkins doubled down on her comments, claiming that Trump supporters wouldnt care about the victims of the flood if they were Hispanic or LGBTQ children. She also blamed Trump and Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott for the flood, claiming it was preventable.Bossen, who is a minister at theFirst Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, pledged to "repair the harm this incident has caused" and said that his girlfriends words were not in keeping with Unitarian Universalist values. He apologized to the Camp Mystic families for her hurtful rhetoric and said he would continue to pray for the victims."I believe strongly that all people have inherent worthiness and dignity.
