Tears from teammates as immobilized Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell carted off field and hospitalized
There was a serious and heartbreaking scene at Ford Field on Sunday when linebacker Jack Campbell was left motionless following a violent collision on a tackle, leading to him being removed on an immobilized cart.
After the play, when it became clear Campbell was in distress, trainers and doctors rushed onto the field.
Soon, players from both teams kneeled, watched, and some seemed to pray as Campbell was receiving attention on the field.
Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was visibly emotional to the point he seemed to be brought to tears.
SCARY SCENE AS JAYDEN REED CARTED OFF ON SPINE BOARD DURING PACKERS GAME AGAINST THE JETS
The collision that led to Campbell's injury was violent but not necessarily beyond what is routinely seen on most NFL gamedays.
Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught a pass in the middle of the field and was soon sandwiched by two Lions' defenders, including Campbell. The problem is Campbell arrived at the contact while falling to his knees and appeared to have his head slanted upward so he made contact with his facemask rather than his shoulders and arms.
Campbell's head and neck seemed to compress into his torso upon impact.
Campbell collapsed onto the field and did not appear to move.
It took several minutes for medical personnel to complete their regimen for moving Campbell.

The Lions announced Campbell was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack and his family," Lions coach Dan Campbell told reporters. "He's being taken care of. We don't have any new information. We'll keep you updated as this goes, but we're thinking about him."
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
Cruise passengers criticize new program identifying early tippers on board
Carnival Cruise Line is drawing both backlash and praise about a new program that places stickers on guests' cruise cards to identify those who have prepaid their gratuities.
On Oct. 28, a TikTok user shared a video showing a new sticker on her Carnival Cruise Line card during a recent sailing aboard the Carnival Panorama that read, "Crew love, I pre-paid my gratuities."
The passenger also showed a note that was left in her stateroom thanking her for prepaying gratuities.

"Your support is greatly appreciated and helps recognize the many team members who work together to make your cruise vacation fun, memorable and enjoyable," the note read.
The message also said, "Thank you for choosing Carnival, and we trust that you're having a wonderful cruise filled with fun, relaxation and unforgettable moments!"
"The Carnival gratuity program is an important way guests recognize our hardworking team members and ensure that gratuities are shared among both guest-facing and behind-the-scenes crew who make great vacations possible," Carnival Cruise Line told Fox News Digital in a shared statement.

"Our team members provide great service to every guest," the statement went on.
"The ‘Crew Love’ stickers and thank-you notes are simply a way to let our crew know that a guest has prepaid their gratuities, while giving those guests a little recognition for their generosity," the company continued.
"This is one component of a broader pilot, and we’re listening to feedback as we evaluate it."
The new stickers drew mixed reactions from TikTok users, with some questioning whether passengers should have to publicly display how they tip.
"I prepay my gratuities, but I feel it’s my business, not everyone else’s. I don’t like this at all," one user commented. "People shouldn’t be shamed if they can’t afford to prepay."

Another user expressed frustration over the stickers, writing, "Well, this is offputting. My servers and stewards love the cash I give them since it goes right into their pockets!!"
"I need a sticker that I tip cash also on top of pre-paid tips. Come on, Carnival," another person wrote.
Others welcomed the idea.

"I love it! We always prepay our gratuities and tip extra. … I spend about $250-$300 extra tipping people," one user commented.
"That’s actually the best news I’ve heard all day!" a different user wrote. "I’ve always noticed you get better service if you tip upfront."
A Reddit thread also discussed the new program.

"So incredibly tacky. It appears … not just [as] a sticker but a screen in the app, so likely servers and others you interact with see it. What the heck is Carnival thinking," one Reddit user wrote.
"That sticker idea is super cringy," said another person. "Why do they need to make it a public thing?"
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Yet another person wrote, "I usually prepay a week beforehand just so it’s done. No surprises, but I don’t need or want a sticker for it like a kindergartener. ‘Good job!’ Nah."
The controversy is one of several recent disputes over cruise costs and fees that have sparked frustration among passengers.
Earlier this year, Fox News Digital reported that cruise passengers were growing frustrated as several major cruise lines raised daily gratuities and added service charges.
Also, this year, Fox News Digital reported that cruise passengers were pushing back against Carnival Cruise Line's plans to introduce dynamic pricing for drink and Wi-Fi packages.
BREAKING: Florida State fires Mike Norvell after fan revolt, Clemson loss spark decision to pay massive buyout
Florida State could no longer keep kicking the Mike Norvell can down the road following Saturday night’s loss to Clemson in front of thousands of empty seats.
The time for change had officially arrived, with apathy boiling over within the Seminoles fanbase, which led to President Richard McCullough meeting with athletic department administrators and donors over the past twelve hours to make a final decision on the future of Mike Norvell.
On Sunday afternoon, the final decision was made to fire the Florida State head coach. This came just days after school president Richard McCullough penned an open letter to supporters pleading with them to show up for the student-athletes over the remainder of the 2026 season.
After dropping to 3-5 this season, with only one ACC win so far, the sense of urgency hit its tipping point after the performance against Clemson that also saw fans decide to stay away from Doak S. Campbell Stadium in the process.
Three years ago, Florida State was in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot before Jordan Travis suffered a season-ending injury that also led to the Seminoles being left out of the postseason after a 12-0 regular season.
FLORIDA STATE FIRES AD MICHAEL ALFORD, AS MIKE NORVELL’S SEAT REACHES A BOILING POINT IN TALLAHASSEE
But, Mike Norvell would never find that type of success again in Tallahassee, going 2-10 in 2024 and 5-7 last season that led to fans calling for his ouster in the process.
Unfortunately for Florida State fans who were sick of losing, Norvell had secured a contract extension that included a buyout that will pay him $50.3 million to hit the unemployment line.
"We have made the decision to change the leadership of our football program," President Richard McCullough said. "We thank Mike Norvell for his commitment and service to Florida State and wish him and his family the very best. We understand the deep passion of Seminole fans and share their high expectations for this program."
Rick Stockstill was announced as the interim head coach after the departure of Norvell.
Adding to the ongoing problems at FSU, the school announced in September that athletic director Michael Alford was being fired, creating a conundrum for school officials who were hoping Norvell would win enough games this season to gain enough support from fans to return in 2027.
Seminole boosters had seen enough on Saturday night, and if it weren’t for FSU taking Miami to overtime two weeks ago, the move might have already been made.
To make matters worse for those within the FSU administration, social media had a field day this weekend over a plane flying a banner that called for the school to fire Norvell, even if it incorrectly spelled the head coach’s name.
Right now, we are living in an era of college sports where, if you get too far behind, you'll be lucky to recover, given the ever-changing world of NIL and the transfer portal.
For Florida State, it was time to move on and make the change in leadership that had been brewing for well over a year.
The 36-24 loss to Clemson on Saturday night was the final straw for those who financially support the football program.
One has to also remember that if FSU had decided to bring Mike Norvell back for another season, they would essentially be a walking target for opposing teams in the ACC.
You can't sell the future when school officials are essentially operating its football program on a year-to-year basis, considering the amount of money needed to field a roster.
Also, Mike Norvell was obviously waiting around to see when the school would finally make a decision, as he hosted a number of recruits on Sunday.

There was no way the athletic department could continue to allow the FSU coach to operate without the support of financial backers needed to ensure they would be able to compete on a financial level worthy enough of top-5 status within its own conference.
So, with a majority of FSU boosters offering up their financial support if a move were to be made, school officials received a much-needed commitment to help raise the funds needed to fire the current head coach and attack the transfer portal with their backing, the decision was made to part ways with Norvell.
At the end of the day, this is still Florida State. While the name might not carry the weight that it used to, this is clearly still a national brand that can be successful in this era of college athletics.
Florida State finally just decided it would pay the buyout, while knowing it could end up costing an additional $50 million to bring in a new coach and staff.
Now, there is another opening in college football, and this one should garner a lot of attention from coaches across the country.
Candice Swanepoel: What to know about Tom Brady's Victoria's Secret model girlfriend
Supermodel Candice Swanepoel and Tom Brady have sparked romance rumors nearly two weeks after the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Several outlets, including People and US Weekly, have confirmed that Swanepoel and Brady are a couple. A source told People that the pair have been rumored to be "dating for a while now" and that they're "spending a lot of time together."
"They both live in Miami, so it’s very convenient," the source added.
Another source told the outlet, "Candice and Tom have been dating for months. She’s been very secretive and selective about who she’s told about their dating. When they have met up, they’ve gone [to great] lengths not to be spotted."
Neither Brady nor Swanepoel have acknowledged the rumors publicly. Below is everything to know about Brady's new rumored girlfriend.
Swanepoel was born in South Africa in 1988. She grew up on a dairy and beef farm in Mooi River – a small town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Speaking about her upbringing, Swanepoel told V Magazine in 2023 one of her most "vivid" memories from childhood.
"One of my most vivid memories as a child was seeing my father wake up at 4 am to take care of our farm. His dedication and drive is something that is now part of me," she said at the time.
On her personal website, Swanepoel recalled the moment a talent scout saw her at a flea market when she was just 15.
"At the time, I was at St. Anne’s College, an all-girls boarding school where I embraced new friends and the potential of a great education," she wrote.
The following year, Swanepoel's life completely changed.
"Within a year of meeting the scout, at age 16, I was booking more and more modeling jobs all across Europe," she wrote. "While this was an incredible blessing for someone from such a sheltered upbringing, it also forced me to make tough decisions about my life at a young age."
At 18, she spent a few years modeling in Paris, Milan, London and South Africa and decided to move to New York City to model full-time.
"Separated from everything familiar, I relied on my drive and ambition as I lived on my own overseas. I gave up a normal teenage life with my family and friends to pursue a dream, but what I have gotten in return is simply incredible," Swanepoel wrote.
Shortly after moving to New York, Swanepoel made her Victoria's Secret Fashion Show debut.
"I remember going to the casting for the show and being so nervous because I wanted it so badly," she told W Magazine in 2012. "And then once I was at the show—I took my mom with me, flew her from South Africa—I saw that kind of family vibe that they had. I’d been traveling alone for so long, and when I saw that, I said to my mom, ‘I want this so badly, I just want to be a part of something.’ Not just being alone in the fashion industry."
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
A few years later, in 2010, Swanepoel officially got her wings. In 2013, Swanepoel wore the coveted Fantasy Bra, which was valued at $10 million that year.
Swanepoel has walked in a total of 14 VS Fashion Shows. Following the 2026 show earlier this month, Swanepoel took to Instagram to share a few clips.
"The amount of content from the show had me a little stuck in between spamming you and letting it breathe…☺️ It’s hard to explain the very particular feeling it is to walk the @victoriassecret fashion show. Maybe some of these pictures can explain better than words can for now… while I come back to reality ☁️ 💕Forever grateful ✨," Swanepoel captioned her post.
The news of their relationship sent waves across the internet due to Brady's relationship with Gisele Bündchen. Bündchen and Brady were married from 2009 until 2022 and share two kids: Benjamin and Vivian.
The two supermodels have crossed paths over the years and have reportedly been friendly and supportive of one another, though their relationship was never considered a close friendship, sources close to Bündchen told TMZ.

Swanepoel may not be breaking girl code with Bündchen, but VS model and longtime friend, Joan Smalls, may be feeling a bit hurt.
According to Page Six, Smalls and Swanepoel — who have been "inseparable" friends for 15 years — have had a falling out after Swanepoel allegedly became involved with Brady, whom Smalls reportedly dated on and off for about a year.
TOM BRADY’S LATEST ROMANCE SPARKS VICTORIA’S SECRET MODEL WAR: REPORT
Sources told the outlet that Smalls is now giving mutual friends an ultimatum to choose sides, which has ignited a bitter war within the VS circle.
In since-deleted comments, the model allegedly appeared to take aim at Swanepoel on social media, referring to her as a "backstabber" and accusing her of violating "girl code."
"And the disrespect and carelessness in how they treat you is so unimaginable. There’s no going back. Some people lack humility and moral compass," she reportedly wrote.
"And the way they gaslight, lie and minimize your feelings is the worst slap in the face after 15yrs of friendship. Not a sorry said or written. Onwards and upwards!!!"
In a statement to Page Six, Swanepoel's representative said: "Candice has always been exceptionally private about her personal life, with her focus remaining on raising her children. She and Joan share a longstanding history and a friendship that Candice will always respect."
Swanepoel was in a long-term relationship with Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli for 14 years. The pair were engaged in 2015 and split in 2018. They share two sons: Anacan and Ariel.
Swanepoel kept her relationship with Nicoli out of the spotlight. After their split in 2018, she has not been romantically linked publicly to anyone else.
In 2018, she opened up to People about becoming a family of four.

"It’s pretty intense, but it’s amazing. It’s a lot, I’m not gonna lie. The second one is a lot easier, but the situation of having two makes it harder," Swanepoel said at the time.
She then shared how her oldest son transitioned into a big brother.
"It’s funny because he doesn’t know how to deal with the love. And you know when you think something is really cute and you just want to squeeze it? He doesn’t know how to process that yet," Swanepoel said.
Jonathan Taylor's Colts career potentially ends in embarrassment as Jaguars blow out AFC South rivals
If that's the last time we saw Jonathan Taylor in an Indianapolis Colts uniform, it was an ugly ending.
Their AFC South rivals, the Jacksonville Jaguars, wiped the floor with a 42-7 victory just as trade speculation for the star running back has heated up.
The now 2-6 Colts have been making moves during a poor season, albeit without their first-round pick. They just traded away Quenton Nelson, and Taylor remains the most valuable and best player on the roster.

Rumors have swirled that amid sitting in first place in their respective divisions, the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings could land Taylor, who has made three Pro Bowls.
Taylor was bottled up most of the day against Jacksonville, finishing with 23 yards on eight carries and getting saddled with a fumble on a botched trick play. He is the last player to top 100 yards rushing in a game against the Jaguars, accomplishing the feat in the 2024 regular-season finale.
Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdowns, Bayshul Tuten scored twice, and Rayuan Lane returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown with 10 seconds to play in the second quarter.
Jacksonville’s 28-0 lead was the third-largest advantage at halftime in franchise history. It came five days after the Colts traded two of their best players in Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. They have reportedly turned down an offer that circled around a second-round pick.
Indianapolis last won at EverBank Stadium in 2014. The 12-game skid includes a trip to London in 2016. Even during some of the Jaguars’ worst years — a one-win campaign in 2020 and a pair of three-win seasons — they managed to beat the Colts at home.
Daniel Jones completed 19 of 28 passes for 144 yards, with a touchdown to Josh Downs and two interceptions. He was benched in the fourth quarter and replaced by Anthony Richardson.

Indianapolis will host the Dallas Cowboys next week, but it remains to be seen whether Taylor will be there.

El Sayed's left-wing allies attack 'evil' Stevens after bombshell Rogers endorsement
Left-wing allies of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed erupted Sunday after the stunning decision by Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens to endorse his Republican rival Mike Rogers.
Stevens, who narrowly lost in the Democratic primary to El-Sayed, has been critical of his unwillingness to condemn the overt antisemitism of some of his supporters. After recent barbs between the two, El-Sayed disinvited her from a campaign event meant to showcase party unity in the critical Senate race, before she then endorsed his GOP opponent in a surprising last-second decision.
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker attacked her motives in a post to X, claiming she was "weirdly obsessed with Israel."
"haley stevens is not the spokesperson for democrats, she’s not the spox for jewish people or black people," Piker said on X. "she’s a self interested striver who’s weirdly obsessed with israel and has been paid handsomely for this strange obsession. this race is about solving the affordability crisis, defending democracy, fighting back against the racialized violence all communities have faced since trump came into power and serving michigan. haley and mike rogers serve trump, and trump serves the epstein class. the choice is clear."
DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS AT DETROIT CHURCH
"She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul)," Zeteo News' editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan also said on X, going on to attack the Democratic establishment for putting forward a "complete traitor."
In another post agreeing with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen accusing Stevens of being used as a "tool" for "racism and religious bigotry," Hasan said "Islamophobia" was "at the core" of her endorsement.
Hasan also questioned Democratic leaders’ support for Stevens, writing, "She's evil."
Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg also attacked Stevens and urged Democrats to denounce the congresswoman, who has said she remains a proud Democrat.
"If you supported Haley Stevens now is your time to speak out, denounce her as the Republican she is and apologize for supporting a traitor," Hogg wrote.
ABDUL EL-SAYED PLAYS DOWN HASAN PIKER TIES AFTER STREAMER’S VIRAL ANTISEMITISM FIRESTORM
The endorsement followed a controversial ad put up by Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur, in support of El-Sayed's campaign. The ad depicted grocery shoppers blaming U.S. military support for Israel for high grocery prices. Stevens called the ad antisemitic and demanded El-Sayed condemn it. His campaign said it was not affiliated with the ad, and he subsequently said he disagreed with its contents.
Uygur defended the Rebellion PAC's advertisement before the endorsement, disputing claims that it blamed Jewish people for grocery prices. He said the spot concerned Israel and accused reporters of misrepresenting the message.
On Sunday, Uygur claimed Stevens endorsed Rogers because "her only source of power is the Israeli lobby" and "She has no popular support, just AIPAC money."
Former Obama aides and "Pod Save America" co-hosts Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor also criticized Stevens for backing Rogers.
"So [Stevens] didn’t feel welcome at a political event, so now she doesn’t care if Democrats win the Senate," Lovett wrote. "She’s against ‘hate’ while supporting one of the most hateful campaigns in memory. She endorsed then unendorsed then endorsed then unendorsed her former rival, who she promised to unite behind, after endlessly repeating (correctly!) that Mike Rogers MUST be defeated. What an incoherent disgrace. Hope this anger drives people to do whatever they can to help [El-Sayed] win."
Vietor also wrote, "I hope folks will think about the fact that [Stevens] demanded that [El-Sayed] denounce as antisemitic an ad he was not associated with, but is now endorsing a man who called Abdul a terrorist. She is fine with bigotry and racism as long as its against the right people."
EL-SAYED DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM HASAN PIKER AFTER DISTURBING REMARKS ABOUT JEWISH AMERICANS
El-Sayed previously addressed the ad controversy, saying his campaign did not produce the Rebellion PAC advertisement and that he disagreed with its contents.
"You guys love to play the condemn game. I've already been clear that that ad was not made by me, and I do not agree with the contents of that ad," El-Sayed said in a campaign press gaggle Saturday.
The Republican National Committee welcomed Stevens’ decision. In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, RNC spokesman Hunter Lovell said the endorsement demonstrated Rogers’ appeal beyond Republican voters.
"When Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who ran against Abdul El-Sayed and knows him better than anyone, stands with Mike Rogers, Michigan should take notice," Lovell said. "Democrats who feel Abdul has abandoned them have a home with Mike, who is building a winning coalition of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to save Michigan from El-Sayed's radical, terrorist-sympathizing agenda. The center of Michigan politics has moved, and Abdul is on the wrong side of it."
ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION
Journalist Sam Robinson asked Stevenson Sunday how she could support a candidate whose positions directly opposed hers.
"Nothing is perfect," Stevens said.
The video shows a heckler interrupting Robinson, ending the exchange.
"Stevens is a traitor," the heckler said.
Stevens’ fiancé, Jason Turkish, and former campaign chairman David Kramer had already decided to vote for Rogers, Fox News Digital reported.
Fox News Digital reached out to El-Sayed for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Week 9 AP Top 25 Poll makes a mockery of Wake Forest and a laughable overreaction to USC's win over Buckeyes
The first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings will be released on November 3, marking a point in the 2026 college football season when the AP Top 25 Poll takes a back seat, but that doesn't mean we're going to start ignoring the always-controversial poll. Someone has to keep tabs on the AP voters who can't possibly watch all these games and are forced to scramble and put together a list of the best 25 teams in the country.
With just two matchups featuring ranked opponents on the Week 8 slate, nobody was expecting too many fireworks, but the one boom we did get out in Los Angeles courtesy of USC, voters made sure to overreact.
On the other side of the country, Wake Forest moved to 7-1 and continued its run of absolutely throttling opponents, but apparently, outscoring your last two opponents 92-14 doesn't matter much.
Voters managed to put together the correct collection of the Top 5 teams in the country, but did so in the incorrect order. A shocking development, we know.
While Miami played with its food in Chapel Hill on Saturday, the Hurricanes improved to 8-0 and are the most-talented and most-explosive of the three unbeaten teams remaining, making the No. 1 next to their name completely justified.
THESE NUMBERS SHOW JUST HOW FRAUDULENT NOTRE DAME HAS BEEN DURING THE MARCUS FREEMAN ERA
Georgia did exactly what was expected of it by throttling Florida following a bye week after its inexplicable loss at home to Auburn. Then, you have Utah at No. 3, which is where we can officially start arguing, or at least begin nitpicking.
Utah is 8-0, but the Utes' 8-0 isn't as impressive as UCLA's 8-0. Utah has beaten exactly one team with a pulse, then No. 14 Houston at home, while the Bruins won on the road at then No. 13 Oregon. UCLA getting the nod for the three with Utah sliding to the four seems more sensible.
Notre Dame is a spot too high at No. 4. For starters, the Fighting Irish have lost a game unlike UCLA and Utah, and you could argue their most impressive win came in Week 1 on a neutral site against a now 5-3 Wisconsin team. Notre Dame getting a touch of bias is as inevitable as water remaining to be wet.
The Demon Deacons embarrassed Virginia 51-7 on Saturday to move to 7-1 on the year, with their lone loss being a 13-point defeat to No. 1 Miami. Despite having lost just once, putting together a 44-point win, and possessing an offense that has outscored opponents 187-31 over the last four weeks, Wake Forest did not budge in this week's poll.

Meanwhile, Kentucky and Alabama were both on byes this past weekend, but even they managed to move up one spot compared to last week.
The reality of the situation is that Wake Forest is being penalized by its own schedule and a laughably weak ACC. With how the dominoes are falling in the conference, Wake Forest could finish the season 11-1 with its most impressive win being a road victory at Purdue in Week 2.
Yes, even above-average teams are supposed to handle Stanford, NC State, Cal and Virginia, but the way in which Wake Forest has embarrassed all four of those down-and-out squads is more impressive than the No. 14 next to its name.
So, USC beats an Ohio State team without its starting quarterback and technically moves up THIRTEEN spots in the poll to No. 18? The same USC team that lost at Wisconsin a week ago, the same Badgers team that lost 30-0 to Iowa on Saturday? Is this the same USC team that was embarrassed at home by Oregon in Week 5 by two touchdowns?
This is your classic prisoner of the moment situation with an unranked team beating the No. 2 team in the country, but the asterisk that needs to go alongside that Buckeyes team the Trojans beat is a significant one.

Some team has to be ranked 18th in the nation; it just shouldn't be a USC team whose fanbase wanted head coach Lincoln Riley fired seven days ago after pulling off the big upset of what may have been the worst slate of games of the entire college football season.
AP voters missed out on doing something hilarious this week.
New Mexico improved to 7-1 on the year after going on the road and knocking off San Jose State on Halloween and kept a very weird streak alive.

The Lobos have scored exactly 21 points in each of their last three games, beating Hawaii 21-10, North Dakota State 21-16 and San Jose State by the same 21-16 score. New Mexico should be ranked No. 21, not No. 22, based on this scoring trend alone.
In all seriousness, Jason Eck's squad deserves some serious praise. The Lobos are 16-5 since Eck took over in 2025, which isn't bad considering the program hadn't been to a bowl game since 2016 prior to his arrival in Albuquerque.
Worst time to shop at Costco may be when you least expect it, with one day drawing the most crowds
In order to avoid large crowds and a chaotic shopping experience, customers might want to stay away from Costco on certain afternoons.
The busiest and slowest times to shop at Costco may vary by location, but Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. might be the worst time to go to the warehouse retailer, Simply Recipes reported.
"I stopped by once on a Sunday afternoon, just to see how it was, and it was crazy. Never doing that again," a Reddit user wrote in a Costco thread.
COSTCO MEMBERSHIP OFFERS HIDDEN SAVINGS BEYOND GROCERIES: 5 PERKS TO KNOW
"I've learned the hard way not to shop on Sundays," another added, recalling that the line snaked all the way to the back of the store.
Fox News Digital reached out to Costco, headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, for comment.
Midweek shopping can be tough for those who work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Weekends understandably bring lots of traffic to grocery stores, as many people are off from work and stocking up for the week ahead.

Shopping on Monday might make for a more peaceful experience due to fewer crowds.
However, if customers want fully stocked shelves, it might be wiser to go to Costco on a Tuesday or Wednesday, as the store’s supplies are most likely to be replenished by then, Southern Living noted.
"In my experience, having lived all over the country, Tuesdays earlier in the day seem to be the best option," one Reddit user said.
"In general, I would avoid Friday, Saturday, Sunday [and] Monday at any time," the same person added.

"Tuesday, Wednesday [and] Thursday are generally safe bets, especially earlier in the day."
A different person noted that going early or late in the day, particularly on a weekday, has proven to be a smart strategy.
"First hour or last hour seems to be the best times in general. … Going after 6:30pm on a weeknight seems to be the best for my Costco," the person said.
Costco raked in $297.3 billion during the 2025 fiscal year, an increase of 10.2% from $269.9 billion last year, according to the company's website.

Lincoln Riley has confrontation with Ohio State AD, reads prepared statement to media after huge USC win
What a wild week it's been for the USC Trojans.
Just last Saturday, it seemed like the Lincoln Riley era in Los Angeles was nearing its end. SC went into Madison as a sizable favorite over the Wisconsin Badgers and laid what can only be described as, charitably, an egg. For the first time in his coaching career, a Lincoln Riley team scored just seven points in a game.
There were head-scratching coaching mistakes, including attempting a 58-yard field goal against the wind. Predictably, it did not work, setting Wisconsin up with outstanding field position and a score. The Trojans looked poorly prepared and poorly coached, with senior quarterback Jayden Maiava taking multiple atrocious intentional grounding penalties and throwing two picks, a muffed catch on a Badgers kickoff leading to a missed opportunity before halftime, not calling timeout when the SC defense was misaligned on a pivotal fourth-and-2, leading to a Wisconsin touchdown, and an incredible -17 net rushing yards.
After the game, the speculation and discussion was immediate. Riley was mentally checked out in LA, was one common sentiment. USC's athletic department had already started putting together funds to potentially clear Riley's rumored $70 million buyout. And fans and analysts were putting together wish lists of potential new coaches for 2027 and beyond.
Then, Saturday happened. USC hosted the Ohio State Buckeyes, still heavily favored despite starting backup quarterback Luke Fahey. OSU has a top three defense, arguably the best player in the country in Jeremiah Smith, and a wealth of big game experience under head coach Ryan Day. And sure enough, the Trojans dominated.
Even in a college football season where parity has been more obvious than ever, it was a shocking upset. Ohio State dominated time of possession and racked up yardage thanks to some garbage time drives, but never really looked like they had much of a chance. When set up with a first-and-goal inside the 1-yard-line, the Buckeyes still couldn't get in the end zone.
USC, which has been unimpressive for most of the season, looked like a totally different team. Star freshman Trent Mosley took a screen pass on the second play of the game for a long touchdown. Mark Bowman provided the highlight of the year from a tight end, hurdling an Ohio State defender and running through tackles on a huge catch and run. And the Trojans much-maligned defense grabbed an opportune turnover, forced a fumble that was inexplicably not reviewed, and got stop after stop when they needed it.

Needless to say, a win over the number two team in the country was a season, and potentially program, altering turn of events. And Riley had a well, interesting, time after the conclusion, including a run-in with the Ohio State athletic director, and an unusual prepared statement that he read during postgame media availability.

Buckeyes staff and players were walking off the Coliseum field in the tunnel, and Riley tried to walk to the same area with his family and security guard. But an OSU staffer held him up, and after a few seconds, athletic director Ross Bjork can be seen gesturing back toward Riley and saying something toward him. Whatever it was, Riley was not happy about it, clearly saying some very profane phrases back as he was finally let through.
Another angle more clearly showed Bjork saying something indistinguishable as he left the field.
Confrontations happen, particularly after a heated game between two proud programs. Things got even a bit more unusual though, in the news conference.
LINCOLN RILEY ADDRESSES SPECULATION ABOUT HIS FUTURE AT USC AHEAD OF HUGE GAME AGAINST OHIO STATE
Riley, who already addressed speculation about his commitment to USC in a midweek news conference, saying LA is where he wants to be, read a prepared statement about his job and the Trojans program. This time, clearly with a bit more, shall we say, fesity language toward the media.
"This program is built on internal joy, not external applause," he said. "This win is for all the staff members, the players, the leaders, admin, all the people within the walls. I said before this game that I'm the right person for this job, and as long as all those people know that, that's all I care about. I appreciate being part of this university, and all it does. I appreciate our kids and our staff, and I'm going to continue to fight on because that's what being a Trojan is all about. Adios."
Not exactly what you'd expect to hear from a head coach coming off a huge win over the No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, but it's hard to blame him for being a bit more defense than usual.
Riley's faced a long list of questions about his job status the past few weeks, but again, those questions are legitimate. USC's two losses this year were inexcusable. The Oregon Ducks are far from the team most expected in the preseason, and the Trojans defense let backup Dylan Raiola walk all over them in a 41-27 loss. That Wisconsin performance was dreadful, and looks even worse with the Badgers' 30-0 loss to Iowa on Saturday.

There have been few signature wins in the Riley era, until this one, and after an offseason marketing campaign revolving around the "championship window" now being open, sitting at 6-2 with their season on the brink is simply not good enough. But he deserves credit for the OSU win and how it played out. USC looked like a different team; prepared, focused, intense, and aggressive. Why they don't always look like that? Nobody knows.
There are more questions moving forward though, because there always are. How do the Trojans, and Riley, respond in the final three games? The schedule doesn't get easier, with a trip to play the Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington next week, and a date with the now-No. 5 UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl to close out the season.
Win out, and the Trojans would almost certainly be in the College Football Playoff, boasting one of the best resumes in the country with three wins over top-5 teams. Lose two of the last three to Indiana and UCLA and finish 8-4? We might be talking about Riley's buyout and that open job at Baylor all over again.
Your walking speed may hold a clue to how long you’ll live, study suggests
The speed a person normally walks could offer a simple clue about their overall health and longevity, new research suggests.
A study published in JAMA Network Open followed 4,067 adults in the U.K., who were about 69 years old on average, to see whether their usual walking pace was linked to their risk of death over time.
Participants completed a short walking test at their normal pace and also wore a wrist activity tracker for nine days to capture their walking speed during everyday life.

Over nearly 12 years of follow-up, faster walking in both settings was linked to a lower risk of death, even after researchers accounted for other health and lifestyle factors. A total of 739 participants died during that period.
Beth Templin, a board-certified geriatric clinical specialist and CEO of HouseFit Physical Therapy & Fitness in St. Louis, said walking speed can offer a broader look at how well the body is functioning.
"In physical therapy, we call walking speed the 'sixth vital sign' because it's a snapshot of how well many body systems are working together," Templin, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.

Changes in walking speed can therefore offer clues about a person's health, according to the doctor.
"To walk briskly, you need strong legs, a healthy heart and lungs, good balance, and a brain and nervous system that can coordinate it all," she said.
"When walking speed starts to slip, it's often an early warning sign that one of those systems is declining, sometimes before anything shows up on a lab test," Templin added.
For older adults who want to improve their walking speed and overall fitness, simply taking more steps may not be enough.

"Build the engine, not just the habit," Templin advised. "Most people try to walk more, but speed comes from strength and balance."
The doctor suggested strengthening the legs with simple exercises, such as standing up from a chair without using the hands and doing heel raises while holding onto a counter.
She also recommended adding short bursts of faster walking. After warming up, a person could walk briskly for one minute, slow down for two minutes and then repeat, gradually increasing the faster periods.
The findings do not mean that simply walking faster will make someone live longer, experts noted.

"This study shows an association, not proof that walking faster by itself adds years," Templin reiterated.
The participants included in the study were generally healthier than the larger group, the researchers noted. There is also no single standard method for measuring everyday walking pace with wrist activity trackers.
More research is needed to determine whether the findings apply to other groups.
Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment.
