Bob Odenkirk says heart attack wiped his memory for a week, daughter stepped in to help

Bob Odenkirk says his daughter helped him remember after his heart attack in 2021 left him with no memory for a week.

The "Breaking Bad" actor told Michael Rosenbaum on his "Inside of You" podcast that the heart attack he suffered while filming "Better Call Saul" was all the more "dangerous" because he was "far away" from the set during Covid protocols and "all the people who would hear someone screaming were across the floor of a giant studio."

He said everyone initially thought his castmates Rhea Seehorn and Patrick Fabian were laughing.

Odenkirk explained that he was walking over to an exercise bike and told Seehorn, "'I don’t feel so good,' and then I turned gray and worse things happened."

He said his family was with him the next day when he went into surgery and every day in the hospital after, but he has no memory of anything until a week later.  

"My daughter made this dry-erase board that said what happened to me so that I would wake up and see this dry-erase board that: heart, you know, attack and then to the hospital and who's visited me and who's in town and what day it is because I never had a memory that whole week."

Every day that week he said he was asking: "'Where are we? Why are you guys at the hospital?'"

SHARON STONE'S PHILOSOPHY TO STAY POSITIVE AFTER NEAR-FATAL BRAIN BLEED, FINANCIAL STRUGGLES

Odenkirk said there’s a funny video that was shot by his wife, Naomi, in the hospital that was included in his upcoming documentary "Bob & David Climb Machu Picchu" where his kids ask him after his surgery if he knows why he’s there.

"And I'm like ‘Cause I heard you guys are here,’" he revealed. "It's really funny. It's really, it’s crazy what your brain does. ‘How did you get here?’ ‘I drove here.’ You know, like your brain makes up a story about what is going on that suits you."

He said he kept telling his family the same thing for a week.

Joking that he got "ripped off," Odenkirk said that he didn’t see a white light or get to have his life flash before his eyes.

"And I've talked to people who've had that, by the way," he said. "Those experiences are incredible."

Odenkirk added that "remembering how it felt to come out of that moment to realize the life that I have, the wonderful things that I have in my world, and how wonderful the world can be — really kind of is, and I can reconnect with that just by telling that story, and so that's a great thing and maybe it helped — maybe — with the whole awareness of limited time."

He admitted it’s hard to counteract that feeling of "’I’m going to live forever. What movies do I want to make in 30 years?’"

"‘Hey man,’" he said he tells himself, "‘you are not making any movies in 30 years. You're not making them in 10 years. You're going to be cooked and done. And so, what do you want to do? And how much time do you have left? And how are you going to use it?'"

The "Better Call Saul" star said it’s hard to look in the mirror and go: "‘I'm 63, you know, my dad lived to 56, you know, I mean, what are you doing with your time? How are you going to use it? How are you going to do the most with it?’"

He clarified he wasn’t talking about work.  

"Work is great, and work is really great if you get to do what we do, but also, you got to try to get some dimension in yourself and in your life."

ESPN reporter unloads on the nasty part of the NFL Draft

Happy NFL Draft Eve to all who celebrate! And, by the way, that's all of you, because the NFL is king and even something as silly as a draft brings in more eyeballs than most other live sporting events.

Say what you want about Roger Goodell, but the guy knows how to market his product. Fair is fair.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Anyway, the NFL Draft is always one of the biggest nights on the calendar, believe it or not. I remember when it used to be a two-day event on Saturday and Sunday only.

Remember those days? When it would start at noon and run for eight straight hours? Amazing.

It got too big a few years ago, and, naturally, the first round got moved to the prime time slot on Thursday night. It's on 14 different channels now, with 14 different broadcasts. Again, it's a monster event.

And ESPN's Peter Schrager, a veteran in the NFL reporter world, has a plea for anyone watching tomorrow night: Stay off your phones!

"Would you watch a reality show if, three minutes before the end of the show, they tell you who is being eliminated?"

Amen, Peter. Preach! No, I wouldn't. Neither would you. The NFL Draft is one giant reality show. It's why we watch everything like hawks. The facial expressions. The green room. The WAGs. All of it. It's a content machine.

But Schrager — again, a veteran reporter — didn't stop there. He later divulged just how easy it is for insiders to get access to the pick ahead of time. Apparently, it's not as impressive as you'd think.

"The NFL requires that name to be sent to them, and the entire league gets that name three minutes before the pick is made," he said. "Anyone who's got a credential has one source in the league, and that one source, whether it be from the 32 teams, or the league office, or an agent, they have access to the picks 90 seconds before they're announced.

NFL DRAFT EMOTIONAL REACTIONS: ROOKIES REALIZING THEIR DREAM CAME TRUE PULLS AT FANS' HEARTSTRINGS

"There is no valor in spoiling an NFL draft pick."

Bingo! If you happen to have some actual scoop — like the pick 10 minutes ahead of time — go for it. That's fine. That's fair. If you have sources that deep in the business, you deserve to break it.

But if you're getting the same info everyone else is getting, and just tweeting out the same exact thing everyone else is tweeting ... come on. What's the point? To spoil it for everyone watching? Seems silly.

Sure, there's also the argument that we (the viewer) could just put the phone down and watch. It's rare nowadays, outside of Augusta for a week out of the year. But, we could also just put the phones down and not be spoiled, either. As far as I know, nobody is forcing you to scroll social media for three hours with the NFL Draft on in the background.

If they are, blink twice!

Regardless, it's interesting to see how insiders get their info. Sure, there's a Russini joke somewhere in there, but I ain't making it!

Happy NFL Draft Day Eve.

Garret Anderson's cause of death revealed as acute necrotizing pancreatitis: report

Former MLB outfielder Garret Anderson died of "acute necrotizing pancreatitis," local reports citing the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office said.

The Los Angeles Angels announced the former star outfielder died late last week at the age of 53.

"Acute necrotizing pancreatitis" is a condition in which part of the pancreas dies, according to Cedars-Sinai. The California Post reported his death was ruled natural.

A three-time All-Star, Anderson is in the conversation for the greatest Angel in franchise history, nearing the top of the leaderboard in many stats.

"Garret will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Angels fans for his professionalism, class, and loyalty throughout his career and beyond," the team said in a social media post. "We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Anderson family."

A call was made for "medical aid" to Anderson's home in the early afternoon of April 16 after Anderson suffered a medical emergency. The Angels announced his death the next day.

MAMDANI TAKES 'CURSE OF THE MAMBINO' ON THE CHIN AS METS' 11-GAME SKID SETS FRANCHISE RECORD

Anderson made his MLB debut with the California Angels in 1994 before becoming a true threat in the early 2000s. From 2002 to 2005, Anderson was named to all three of his All-Star Games, leading the majors with 56 doubles in 2002 and the American League in that same category with 49 the following season.

He is the franchise leader in hits, RBIs, doubles, and games played. His .296 average with the team is also the third-highest behind Vladimir Guerrero and Rod Carew, and he is second in runs with 1,024, behind only Mike Trout.

Perhaps the biggest hit of his career was his three-run double in Game 7 of that World Series, which made the score 4-1 Angels in the bottom of the third inning. That score would be the final.

Anderson was twice named a Silver Slugger and was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame in 2016.

Soros-backed DA's lax illegal immigration policies led to 'preventable' bus stop stabbing murder: complaint

Soros-backed Democratic prosecutor Steve Descano has been hit with a formal federal complaint alleging that his lenient policies led to the "preventable" murder of a woman who was stabbed to death by an illegal alien in Virginia’s most populous county.

This comes as Descano, Fairfax County’s commonwealth attorney, faces mounting criticism and pressure over his handling of a spate of illegal immigrant crime in the area. Descano rose to power with heavy financial backing from the Soros family’s Justice and Public Safety PAC. Three of the four murders actively being investigated by authorities in Fairfax County were committed by illegal aliens, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The debate mirrors broader national scrutiny of how sanctuary leaders handle migrant crime in their jurisdictions.

Victims Rights Reform Council (VRRC), an advocacy group for victims of violent crimes, filed a federal civil rights complaint against Descano this week on behalf of Cheryl Minter. Minter’s 41-year-old daughter, Stephanie Minter, was fatally stabbed at a bus stop earlier this year, allegedly by Abdul Jalloh, a 32-year-old illegal alien from Sierra Leone. Jalloh is now being held without bond and charged with second-degree murder.

In a Tuesday statement, Minter remarked that her daughter "should be alive today," saying, "She was taken because the system chose to release a violent offender again and again."

HOUSE PANEL SUMMONS SOROS-BACKED FAIRFAX PROSECUTOR OVER RELEASES TIED TO VIOLENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CASES

This particular killing has caused significant national outrage, as Jalloh entered the country illegally under the Obama administration in 2012 and has had a final deportation order since 2020. He has a lengthy criminal history, including more than 30 arrests for charges of rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft and other offenses. In 2023, he was convicted of malicious wounding and sentenced to seven years in prison, with five years suspended. He only ended up serving about seven months in prison, according to local outlet WUSA9.

Minter asserted that "had I murdered someone, I would be doing life in jail."

She suggested that "it seems that citizens are doing a lot more time and receive a lot more punishment for the same crimes than the illegals are."

VRRC is requesting that the Trump Department of Justice conduct a federal pattern-or-practice investigation into policies and practices it alleges resulted in the "preventable murder" of Minter’s daughter.

In its complaint, VRRC alleges that systemic failures in Descano’s office include discriminatory prosecutorial practices, including policies that consider and seek to mitigate immigration consequences in criminal cases. It also alleges that Descano’s office shows deliberate indifference to public safety by "repeatedly releasing a known violent offender despite clear warnings and a broader pattern of leniency toward repeat and violent offenders."

Additionally, it alleges that Descano’s office has "potential outside influence on prosecutorial policy."

Descano's entry into political office was propelled by a massive $627,653 donation from the Soros family's Justice and Public Safety PAC, which made up roughly 70% of his 2019 campaign budget. 

SPANBERGER FACES ‘BAIT-AND-SWITCH’ BACKLASH IN FINAL HOURS BEFORE REDISTRICTING REFERENDUM

In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, Jennifer Harrison, executive director of VRRC, explained the group is "demanding accountability for a system that failed Stephanie and too many others."

"When known violent offenders are repeatedly released despite clear warnings, and policies yield unequal outcomes, the federal government must act," she went on. "Equal justice means protecting innocent people — not prioritizing ideology over safety,"

In response, Descano’s office shared a statement from the commonwealth attorney who said, "I can't speak to any individual lawsuit, but I can tell you that the idea that we favor one group over another is completely wrong."

Descano said that the idea his office favors certain groups "has been fed by, in my opinion, purposeful misreporting and people taking things out of context for political gain."

"I can tell you that my job and our office's job is to keep us safe," he added.

Descano delivered these remarks outside the Fairfax County Courthouse on Tuesday, following the sentencing of 18-year-old illegal immigrant Israel Flores Ortiz to 360 days of incarceration for assault by groping of several teenage girls. Descano said after the press conference that his office is "happy" with the sentence. Flores Ortiz is expected to serve about 135 days of his 360-day sentence.

SPANBERGER RECEIVES DHS PLEA TO HOLD ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT REPEAT OFFENDER NOW CHARGED IN ATTEMPTED RAPE

Meanwhile, Sean Kennedy, president of Virginians for Safe Communities, remarked that the DOJ "should heed Cheryl Minter’s warning," because "Descano’s discriminatory policies are deadly."

"Stephanie Minter would be alive today if Fairfax’s top prosecutor treated everyone equally and obeyed the law," alleged Kennedy in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"DOJ must act now before another parent buries a child because Descano decided to protect an illegal alien instead of the public," said Kennedy.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Researcher believes Noah's Ark found in Turkey after new underground scans

Researchers working in Turkey say fresh scan data uncovered what appear to be tunnels inside a long-debated landform, bolstering their case that the site may be a manmade object that they believe to be Noah’s Ark.

Noah's Ark Scans researcher Andrew Jones told "Fox & Friends First" on Wednesday that he believes the peculiar formation near Mount Ararat is the real deal.

"I do believe that this is the real, decayed, buried remains of Noah's Ark, the famous ship. And we're doing our best to convince the skeptics and show the world this site," he said.

Jones said his team's latest work has revealed tunnels in the landform suggestive of a manmade structure.

MYSTERY SOLVED? RESEARCHER CHALLENGES LONG-HELD THEORY OF WHAT SANK SHACKLETON'S ENDURANCE IN ANTARCTIC ICE

"Our new research has shown that there are tunnels about four meters down and about two meters high, going down the center of the boat and on the inside edge of the hull shape," he said.

"We really believe that this layout, showing tunnels and also possible support beams and walls, would suggest that it's a manmade object and not just a natural formation."

Many geologists disagree, saying the remote site just a mile from the Iranian border is nothing more than a hill. But Jones said the Bible states the Ark landed in the area, that the dimensions of the site also match the biblical description and that the soil inside the formation showed remarkable results in testing.

FORBIDDEN PASSAGE? SECRET MEDIEVAL TUNNEL FOUND BENEATH ANCIENT PAGAN GRAVES, ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY

"We have the ship shape, and we're in the right location, and now we're also seeing that the soil inside is different from right outside the formation. So we have three times more organic matter found inside versus right outside. So it's a distinct object and not just part of the mountainside."

To Jones, this suggests the remains of ancient biological or manmade substances.

The next phase, he said, would be sending a robot into the tunnels to film and collect samples, rather than beginning excavation. 

The research must proceed with caution because, according to the Noah's Ark Scans website, "archaeology is a destructive science."

"Once you dig a hole and remove material, you can’t put it back. Having the best data as to where to excavate is key, and that is where geophysical scans and core drilling come into play. ... Excavations would follow after this is done."

Anthropic's moral compass architect suggested AI overcorrection could address historical injustices

One of Anthropic’s artificial intelligence (AI) philosophy architects argued that intentional discrimination could be a way to combat stigmas on topics of race and gender.

In a 2023 paper authored alongside a number of other AI researchers, Amanda Askell, a philosopher hired by Anthropic to develop their AI’s moral compass, argued companies might benefit from a kind of overcorrection toward stereotypes.

But, the paper explained, that would require human input on how to modify its answers.

"Larger models can over-correct, especially as the amount of [human input] training increases. This may be desirable in certain contexts, such as those in which decisions attempt to correct for historical injustices against marginalized groups, if doing so is in accordance with local laws," Askell wrote.

PALANTIR'S SHYAM SANKAR: AMERICANS ARE 'BEING LIED TO' ABOUT AI JOB DISPLACEMENT FEARS

The comment referred to an experiment on how Anthropic’s models dealt with the race of students.

"In the discrimination experiment, the 175B parameter model discriminates against Black versus White students by 3% in the Q condition and discriminates in favor of Black students by 7% in the Q+IF+CoT condition," the paper notes, referring to one AI trained without human corrections and a second one trained with the help of input.

Askell was joined by four other authors: Deep Ganguli, Nicholas Schiefer, Thomas Kiao and Kamilė Lukošiūtė.

The paper’s contents have surfaced as AI companies increasingly wrestle with the ethics their models are trained on — the presuppositions and moral determinations that inform its outputs. It also highlights the challenges engineers face in training models on human content while simultaneously trying to leave behind certain human behaviors.

The question of ethics has forced Anthropic in particular into the spotlight in recent weeks.

The company made headlines earlier this year for clashing with the Department of War over restrictions that prevent its technology from being deployed to conduct lethal operations.

HUGH GRANT MOVIE SLAMS AI; DIRECTOR WARNS 'IT MIGHT KILL US ALL'

It also comes as Anthropic decided to withhold its latest model, Mythos, citing fears that it proved too effective at finding cyber vulnerabilities that could wreak havoc in the hands of hackers.

Amid questions of AI application, Anthropic has marketed its flagship AI, Claude, as the "ethical" AI choice.

"Our central aim is for Claude to be a good, wise and virtuous agent, exhibiting skill, judgment(sic), nuance and sensitivity in handling real-world decision-making," Claude’s constitution reads.

STANFORD PROF ACCUSED OF USING AI TO FAKE TESTIMONY IN MINNESOTA CASE AGAINST CONSERVATIVE YOUTUBER

To get a better sense of what that means in practice, companies like Anthropic have turned to researchers like Askell.

On her website, Askell described her role as refining the way an AI thinks.

"I’m a philosopher working on finetuning and AI alignment at Anthropic. My team trains models to be more honest and to have good character traits and works on developing new finetuning techniques so that our interventions can scale to more capable models," Askell wrote.

PENTAGON’S AI BATTLE WILL HELP DECIDE WHO CONTROLS OUR MOST POWERFUL MILITARY TECH

She previously held a similar position at OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, focusing on AI safety.

The 2023 paper, written two years after she joined Anthropic, noted that encountering discrimination in AI models shouldn’t come as a surprise.

"In some ways, our findings are unsurprising. Language models are trained on text generated by humans, and this text presumably includes many examples of humans exhibiting harmful stereotypes and discrimination," the paper reads.

But it noted that AIs seem to be able to adjust their outputs even without clarification of what discrimination means.

"Our results are surprising in that they show we can steer models to avoid bias and discrimination by requesting an unbiased or non-discriminatory response in natural language."

Askell and Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Supreme Court liberals side with Clarence Thomas on Taliban suicide bomber lawsuit, 3 others dissent

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a lawsuit brought by a U.S. Army veteran injured in a Taliban suicide bombing to proceed, vacating a lower court ruling that had dismissed it. 

Winston Tyler Hencely, a former U.S. Army specialist, suffered a fractured skull and brain injuries when a Taliban operative working for a military contractor blew up a suicide vest at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan in 2016.

The majority opinion, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, rejected a broad "battlefield preemption" theory that would have blocked state-law claims tied to combat activities. Thomas — joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson — wrote that military contractors are not automatically shielded from liability when their conduct was not authorized by the military — even in war zones.

JUSTICE THOMAS WARNS PROGRESSIVISM IS A THREAT TO AMERICA IN RARE PUBLIC REMARKS

"We vacate the judgment of the Fourth Circuit and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion," Wednesday's decision says.

"In 2016, a Taliban operative working for respondent Fluor Corporation, a military contractor, carried out a suicide-bomb attack at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. After then-Army Specialist Winston T. Hencely confronted him, the bomber detonated his suicide vest," the opinion explains. "As a result of the injuries he received, Hencely is now permanently disabled."

 "In an effort to recover damages for his injuries, Hencely sued Fluor, bringing state-law tort claims for negligently retaining and supervising the attacker. According to Hencely and the United States military, Fluor’s conduct was not authorized by the military and even violated instructions the military had given it as a condition of operating on the base," the opinion notes.

Justice Samuel Alito, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh dissented.

Pro wrestling stars Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley talk possibility of WWE using TNA’s gimmick matches

Total Nonstop Action (TNA) brought pro wrestling fans a bevy of unique and interesting gimmick matches over the years.

Two that come to mind were the Ultimate X and King of the Mountain matches.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

The Ultimate X match would have high-wire ropes above the ring with pillars on the sides. In order for a wrestler to win the match, they would have to climb the pillar, make their way across the rope and grab the prize that hung in the middle. The match would often feature the X-Division’s highflyers and provided some heart-stopping moments.

The King of the Mountain match was essentially a reverse ladder match that included a penalty box for those who were pinned – which is also featured in the Iron Survivor Challenge that takes place during WWE NXT events. Each wrestler begins as ineligible to win and the only way to be eligible is to score a pinfall or a submission.

The only way to win the match is to hang the title belt on the top, retrieving it from the official to do so. Jeff Jarrett won the match three times in TNA. The men’s match hasn’t been seen since 2016. A women’s match took place in 2022 for the Knockouts World Championship.

WWE STAR DANHAUSEN REFLECTS ON FIRST MONTHS WITH COMPANY, GIVES UPDATE ON DANHAUSENETTES

WWE’s partnership with TNA could provide that opportunity for WWE to incorporate the match types into their own plans. Fox News Digital asked former TNA stars – current WWE wrestlers – Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley if they would like to see that happen one day.

"I guess the door is open with WWE and TNA working together," Sabin said. "So, I guess it’s always possible."

Shelley said a King of the Mountain match could be a "good idea."

"Man, I’ve never thought about King of the Mountain," he said. "I think that’s a good idea. I love King of the Mountain."

Sabin added, however, he wouldn’t want to be a part of anymore Ultimate X matches.

"Myself, I would like to take my name of the hat for Ultimate X matches because I lost count of how many I’ve done – north of 20. So, I’ve done plenty of those," he told Fox News Digital. "Had my fill of those matches."

WWE has already produced some interesting matches of their own in recent years, including the aforementioned Iron Survivor Challenge and the Underground Match, which is its own take on the BloodSport style matches.

It’s unclear if WWE would ever use TNA’s gimmick matches, but, like Sabin said, the door is open given the partnership between both companies.

Virginia Democrats ripped by Washington Post for 'power grab' gerrymandering effort

The Washington Post editorial board accused Democrats of a gerrymandering "power grab" in Virginia with a scathing opinion on Tuesday. 

Democrats scored a major victory Tuesday when Virginia voters narrowly passed a congressional redistricting referendum that could give the party a significant boost in the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives majority in this year's midterm elections, according to the Associated Press. 

The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge.

DEMOCRATS WIN VIRGINIA REDISTRICTING FIGHT, THREATENING REPUBLICAN HOUSE MAJORITY

The Washington Post published a piece headlined, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss," that suggested the "redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats."

"For months, Democrats crafted the illusion that their plan to redistrict Virginia was about restoring ‘fairness.’ In a special election on Tuesday, most voters assented to that deception as a referendum to rewrite the state Constitution narrowly passed," the editorial board wrote. 

The piece explained that under a redrawn map, Democrats expect to control 10 of the 11 congressional seats next year. But in 2024, "almost 48 percent of Virginians voted for GOP candidates to represent them in Congress," and the House delegation currently has six Democrats and five Republicans.

Kamala Harris continued the Democratic presidential winning streak there in 2024, but she defeated President Donald Trump by less than 6 percentage points, making the state more purple than deep-blue.

The board also took a shot at former President Barack Obama, who cheered the Democratic efforts to redo the map.

"Democratic leaders have long fancied themselves as champions of democracy and fair elections. But many of these politicians, including former president Barack Obama, made a more cynical calculation in Virginia," the Post's board wrote. 

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

"For them, disenfranchising Republican voters is the only way to counterbalance the desperate attempts by Republicans in other states to save their congressional majority," it continued. "They’re right that the GOP started this fight by trying to pick up five House seats in Texas through gerrymandering, but they can spare us the false sanctimony about democratic norms going forward."

The Post believes both parties contributed to "this mess," and GOP redistricting in Texas and North Carolina "prompted California to pass a ballot referendum in November aimed at giving Democrats five more seats."

"The parties should have called it even after that, but the escalation continued. Meanwhile, Democrats have been racking up big gains in off-year elections, including Virginia’s in November," the editorial board wrote, noting that many Democrats "cast the referendum in partisan terms."

Among them is Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who the Post suggested is looking to rework the map because he disagreed with "the people’s verdicts" when it comes to Republican candidates who Virginia voters kept in office.  

BATTLE FOR THE HOUSE RUNS THROUGH VIRGINIA AS COURT OKS HIGH-STAKES REDISTRICTING VOTE

"The news will embolden Republicans in Florida to forge ahead with their own gerrymandering during a special session next week, continuing the race to the bottom," the editorial board wrote. 

"The redistricting referendum also ended the honeymoon for Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D). Mailers highlighted her past support for the 2020 ballot measure that she has now convinced voters to overturn. Looking partisan undercut her standing with moderate Republicans and independents," the board added. "None of this was necessary."

Yankees' 120-year tradition in jeopardy as players pitch idea of alternate road jersey: report

For over 120 years, the New York Yankees have been traditionalists, as they remain the only team in Major League Baseball without an official alternate jersey. However, that could all change.

According to The Athletic, Yankees players have pitched to team higher-ups about the idea of wearing a new jersey.

The players, the outlet noted, want the jersey on the road, leaving the home pinstripes unchanged.

The Bronx Bombers wear navy blue tops during spring training that read "New York" during spring road games, which is likely what they would wear on the road if a change were to be made. The home pinstripes have become more common in home spring training contests in recent years, compared to the same blue top with the interlocking NY.

That look is normally used with player "shirseys," and it also is a replica that is sold online.

The Yankees have taken part in wearing different jerseys in the past, including Players' Weekend from 2017 through 2019, a nod to the 1912 team while playing in Boston on the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park's opening, and jerseys commemorating the Black Yankees in 1996. The Yankees also wore replicas of their 1921 road uniforms for the first Field of Dreams game in 2021. However, none of those jerseys were ever officially put into the rotation.

MAMDANI TAKES 'CURSE OF THE MAMBINO' ON THE CHIN AMID METS' LOSING STREAK

The Yankees also remain the only team to have no last names on the back of their jerseys, home or away. They are also only one of two teams, including the Athletics, without a City Connect jersey. The Athletics, currently in Sacramento after their lease in Oakland expired following the 2024 season, are set to begin play in Las Vegas in 2028.

Owner Hal Steinbrenner, whom The Athletic noted likely has the final call, has been apt to change in recent years. The Yankees added an advertisement patch on their jerseys in 2023, and beginning last year, "well-groomed" facial hair below the lip was reintroduced after a 50-year ban by Steinbrenner's father, George.

For the foreseeable future, though, the Yankees will be wearing their road grays. Those tops will be back in Fenway Park on Wednesday during the second game of a nine-game road trip for the 14-9 Yankees.
