UNITED STATES

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders says he likes Barack Obama, but he had to call the former president out this week. Obama picked the Arizona Wildcats to beat Sanders’ Buffaloes in a game Saturday.During a speech in Tucson, Arizona, Friday, Obama claimed he even saw the Colorado buses when his plane landed and reminded the crowd of the Wildcats’ two-game winning streak against the Buffaloes dating back to 2022. “I know Colorado got a couple good players, but I also know you guys have beaten them twice in a row,” Obama said. “Don’t bet against the Wildcats tomorrow.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMLast year, Arizona beat Colorado 34-31 during Sanders’ first season with the program. In 2022, the Wildcats defeated the Buffaloes 43-20, prompting Colorado to fire coach Karl Dorrell after the team’s 0-5 start to the season.This year, Sanders and his team proved the former president very wrong. Colorado blew out Arizona 34-7 to improve to 5-2 on the season. After the game, Sanders called out Obama to the press, suggesting he only picked Arizona because he was in the state campaigning earlier this week. NFL WIFE DEVON MOSTERT RECEIVES RACIST HATE ONLINE FOR DEFENDING DESANTIS AGAINST HARRIS”I heard what he said. Mr. President, I heard what you said,” Sanders told reporters after the game. “That’s why I really don’t get into politics, because politicians, they play the political game. He was here, and he had to play the political game.”Arizona is considered a key swing state in the upcoming election. Sanders took particular issue with Obama claiming his team only had “a couple good players.” “We have two good players? We have more than two good players. But you were here, you had to support,” Sanders said. “Mr. President, come on, man. You my man. I love you and appreciate you, but come on, dog.”Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders went 23-for-33 passing, throwing for 250 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and adding a rushing touchdown. Star cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter started Saturday after injuring his shoulder against Kansas State last week.Obama came under fire by another former NFL star who played in the same era as Sanders after other comments Obama made on the campaign trail.During a recent campaign stop for Harris in Pittsburgh, Obama addressed the vice president’s dwindling support among Black voters, especially Black men. “Now, I also want to say that that seems to be more pronounced with the brothers. So, if you don’t mind, just for a second, I’ve got to speak to y’all and say that when you have a choice, that it is this clean when, on the one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you, went to college with you, understands the struggles [and the] pain and joy that comes from those experiences,” Obama said. Obama even suggested that these voters aren’t supporting Harris because she is a woman. Obama did not at any point acknowledge that the lesser support may be because of her record as vice president and history as a prosecutor. “I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that,” Obama said. Former NFL star running back Herschel Walker, a former Republican Senate nominee in Georgia, criticized Obama for his comments this week. “[Barack Obama], you forgot how hard we fought for our right to vote! Telling us how to vote based on color is a step backward. The bad policies of Biden/Harris have hurt us all. We need unity brother, not division!” Walker wrote on X.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Vice President Kamala Harris was joined by pop stars Usher and Lizzo at separate rallies in Georgia and Michigan, respectively, on Saturday, as the Democratic presidential nominee continued her push through the key swing states to Election Day.”We can make a difference in this election, Georgia,” Usher told an enthusiastic crowd in Atlanta on Saturday evening, explaining that he was in his home state for his “Past, Present, and Future” tour, but took a break to speak out for Harris. “Normally, I’m up here to entertain, but today for something far more significant for Atlanta and all of Georgia,” he told the audience at the Lakewood Amphitheatre. The “Yeah!” singer said that he supports Harris because she “fights for everyone’s rights, for freedom, and it doesn’t matter where you’re from. She has a vision for our country that includes everyone.” HARRIS CALLS TRUMP DEBATE DECISION A ‘PRETTY WEAK MOVE,’ PRAISES NATIVE COMMUNITY AT ARIZONA RALLY”We can make a difference in this election, Georgia,” he added. “Let’s vote for a future, ladies and gentlemen.” Lizzo spoke earlier at a Harris get-out-the-vote rally in the singer’s hometown of Detroit, calling Michigan the “swing state of all swing states, so every last vote here counts.”She added, “If you ask me if America is ready for its first woman president, I only have one thing to say: “It’s about damn time!” referencing her 2022 song. HARRIS SAYS PRO-LIFE PROTESTERS ARE ‘AT THE WRONG RALLY’ HOURS BEFORE CATHOLIC CHARITY DINNER SNUBHarris has made use of several musicians during her abbreviated campaign, including Megan Thee Stallion, Bon Iver, John Legend, Lil Jon, and Patti LaBelle, who have performed at rallies and August’s Democratic National Convention. “So Atlanta, we have 17 days left — 17 days left in one of the most consequential elections of our lifetime. And look, let’s have some real talk. It’s going to be a tight race until the very end. And we are the underdog and we are running as the underdog,” Harris said. “But make no mistake, we will win. We will win. Yes we will. We will win. Yes we will. We? Also. And we will win. And we will win because we understand what is at stake.”She was also endorsed by pop superstar Taylor Swift on the night of Harris and Trump’s only debate last month. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPDuring her speech, Harris urged the state, which has broken records for early voting, to continue the trend, noting that if 100-year-old Jimmy Carter can vote, they can too. Former President Trump, who rallied in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, has also been pulling in star power with support from musicians such as Billy Ray Cyrus, Kid Rock, DaBaby, Jason Aldean, and Kanye West, as well as actor Dennis Quaid.

Former President Trump claims to have competed against golf legend Arnold Palmer at his own game, but with a notable age advantage. Trump explained during a rally in Pennsylvania Saturday at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in the golfer’s hometown of Latrobe, why his game was physically superior to Palmer’s during a round 12 years ago.”I got to know him when he was 69 years old, and I played pretty much with him, a lot of him,” said Trump, 78, who was 17 years younger than Palmer. “And as he got older — you know, when you get older, you start to lose a thing called distance, and I’m a good golfer, not like that, but I’m a good golfer. “And I felt so good because I was hitting it a little bit longer than Arnold, but he was, by this time, 75, 76, and I’d hit it four, five yards past him.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”I said ‘Arnold, let me ask you: Thirty years ago, 40 years ago, was I longer than you?’” Trump said. Trump’s comments about the golf legend didn’t stop there. Trump also referred to the former golfer’s manhood and how other players reacted to Palmer in the shower. FORMER NFL STAR AND TRUMP SUPPORTER ANTONIO BROWN JOINS VOTER-REGISTRATION EFFORT IN KEY SWING STATE”He was all man,” Trump said of Palmer. “This man was so strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there; they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it.”I had to tell you the shower part of it because it’s true.”Palmer was born in Latrobe in 1929 and died in the neighboring city of Pittsburgh in September 2016, just a month and a half before Trump’s presidential election win. Pennsylvania was a key swing state in Trump’s victory. Palmer was nicknamed “The King” of golf and is credited as one of the sport’s most influential figures. During Saturday’s rally, Trump recalled stories of Palmer’s wealth as a fellow business mogul.”Arnold was a very rich man,” Trump said after recounting stories about how the former golfer helped finance various businesses. Trump’s event also featured former Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell. Brown delivered a speech on behalf of Trump and mocked Trump’s opponents, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. “Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, did you really know they want to put tampons in the boys’ bathroom?” Brown asked the crowd. “That’s really insane, right?”A new Fox News survey of Pennsylvania voters has Harris narrowly ahead of Trump by two points (50-48%) among registered voters, and the race is tied at 49% each among likely voters. The July survey, conducted shortly after President Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, but before she was named the nominee, was deadlocked at 49%. But even in March, when Biden was the presumed nominee, the contest was close to even.Since July, Harris has widened her lead among women (by nine points), non-White voters (plus-eight) and voters under age 30 (plus-17). Her support has held steady among college graduates and urban voters. Ninety-two percent of Harris supporters are certain of their vote versus 86% of Trump supporters.Trump’s most loyal groups include men, Whites without a college degree, independents and rural voters. He has nearly doubled his lead among men and the small group of independents since July.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Benjamin Glaze, a former “American Idol” contestant best known for being on the receiving end of an unplanned kiss from Katy Perry during his 2018 audition, has been arrested for alleged possession of child sexual abuse material in Oklahoma. According to the Tulsa Police Department’s Facebook page, Glaze was allegedly discovered to be in possession of child sexual abuse material in April 2024, after the Tulsa Police Sexual Predator/Digital Evidence Recovery Unit (Spider Unit) received a tip about alleged criminal activity by the 26-year-old. “As part of the investigations, the Spider Unit obtained a search warrant for Glaze’s residence,” according to Tulsa Police. “During the search, a smartphone was recovered that was found to contain over 700 images and videos of child sexual abuse material.KATY PERRY SURPRISES ‘IDOL’ CONTESTANT WITH KISS, AND HE SAYS HE WAS ‘UNCOMFORTABLE'”On 10/18/2024, an arrest warrant was issued for Benjamin Isaac Dewitt Glaze for Aggravated Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material. Glaze was located and arrested on the afternoon of 10/18/2024 by the Spider Unit and booked into the Tulsa County Jail for his warrant.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSA representative for the Tulsa Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. In 2018, Glaze, who was 19 at the time of his “Idol” audition, took his shot in front of judges Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. During his audition, Glaze mentioned that his job as a cashier allowed him to meet “cute girls,” to which Bryan jokingly asked if he’d kissed a girl and liked it, a nod to Perry’s famous pop song.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”I have never been in a relationship, and I can’t kiss a girl without being in a relationship,” he said.Perry asked him to come over and give her a kiss on the cheek, though she wasn’t entirely satisfied and asked for another.
