According to a school official Wednesday, Jason Kelce, a former offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, will not face charges related to an argument outside Beaver Stadium at Penn State University last month in which he appeared to smash someone's cellphone.

NBC News confirmed social media footage that showed the elder Kelce strolling outside the stadium with a case of beer in hand, surrounded by supporters. In reference to Travis Kelce's relationship with pop singer Taylor Swift, a man could be heard shouting at Kelce i...

Authorities said that a tiny plane crashed into three automobiles after landing on a street in South Texas on Wednesday, injuring four individuals who were transported to hospitals. A fourth person was transported to another institution for a higher level of care following the collision that occurred in Victoria at around 3 p.m., according to police, while three others had non-life-threatening injuries.

The agreement is subject to ratification by the university's board of governors and trustees and is valid for five years. From 2000 until 2023, Belichick, 72, was the Patriots' coach.

Authorities said Wednesday that the Wisconsin man who reportedly devised a complex scheme to stage his death before arriving in western Asia with a lady had returned to the United States and been taken into custody. Ryan Borgwardt was charged with obstruction of an officer when he appeared before a Green Lake County judge on Wednesday afternoon while handcuffed and dressed in an orange jumpsuit. "I have $20 in my wallet in the other room, so that's what I have," Borgwardt, 45, responded when Circuit Court Judge Mark Slate asked him if he could afford bail. Slate stated that Borgwardt did not present a significant flight risk because he "voluntarily turned himself in" on Tuesday from "halfway around the world," and he set bail at $500. Borgwardt might be imprisoned for nine months and fined...

A gubernatorial veto of a bill that deprives the state's incoming Democratic leaders of important authority was overridden by Republican lawmakers in North Carolina. In a party-line vote on Wednesday, the GOP-led state House of Representatives overrode outgoing Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's veto of legislation that is supposedly intended to aid hurricane victims but also undermines the power of statewide positions that Democrats won in last month's election, such as governor and attorney general. The bill will now take effect after the Republican-controlled state Senate overrode Cooper's veto last week, though legal challenges are anticipated. Republicans are in danger of losing their congressional supermajority, therefore Democrats have criticized them for taking this action after the ...

Despite a growing outbreak among U.S. animals and at least 58 human infections in seven states, Biden administration officials stated on Wednesday that they currently have no plans to sanction a stockpiled bird flu vaccine. Given that Trump has appointed anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services, the decision indicates that any decisions on a bird flu vaccine will probably be left to health officials in the upcoming Trump administration. As of Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the virus, which has been circulating in dairy cows since the spring, had affected at least 774 herds across 16 states. In an effort to combat the outbreak, the Department of Agriculture issued a federal order last Friday requ...
