The ESPN score bug appeared to distract viewers, and they let it be known on X. As teams pick up first downs in the game, the middle part of the bug flashes a gold indicator to signify the accomplishment. But college football fans were irked that it looked like a penalty flag was thrown on the play.
There were no penalties called in the first half of the game as Miami took a 14-0 lead into the locker room.

Beck found Mark Fletcher Jr. for a 9-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. The score rectified Fletcher’s fumble from the previous possession.
Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin tried to respond with a touchdown of his own. Instead, Sayin threw an interception to Scott, who returned the ball for a touchdown.
The Buckeyes were moving the ball well on their final drive of the half. It appeared Sayin was finally starting to find his rhythm. The drive ended with a missed 49-yard field goal attempt.
Ohio State was on the ropes going into the second half.

US military confirms 5 killed in Dec 31 kinetic strike on reported narco-terror vessels
Five individuals were killed during a Dec. 31 U.S. military kinetic strike against two vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations involved in narcotics trafficking, U.S. Southern Command said Wednesday.
Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narcotics trafficking routes and were engaged in drug trafficking activities at the time of the operation, officials said.
A total of five individuals described as narco-terrorists were killed during the actions, officials said, with three killed aboard the first vessel and two killed aboard the second.

The Department of War identified the operation as part of Operation Southern Spear.
Video released of the operation shows a strike on a vessel at sea. Military officials did not clarify whether additional engagements occurred beyond those shown in the unclassified video.
Another strike was announced earlier in the day, but it is unclear if the two are linked at this time.
U.S. Southern Command did not provide any further comment to Fox News Digital at this time.
Philip Rivers calls it a career again after 'three-game blur' with Colts
Philip Rivers announced his retirement from the NFL Wednesday after coming off the sideline from coaching high school football to play for the Indianapolis Colts.
Rivers appeared on "Up & Adams" before the end of the year and said he was really finished this time and was going to turn his focus to the team he coaches.
"I am (done)," Rivers said. "I got a son who will be a senior, and I got that St. Michael football team ready to go. We got beat in the semifinals two years in a row," Rivers said. "So, it’ll be his senior year. My second son will be a ninth grader. They’ll be on the same team together.

"So, it’ll be fun to get back with the boys back home. The school has been really excited. A lot of them came to the game last week. It’ll be fun. It’ll kick-start our offseason program, to say the least. Maybe the things I say to them they’ll take it a little more seriously now that I was just out there playing."
Rivers said he knew he was finished in 2020 and that coming back this season to replace Daniel Jones, who tore an Achilles, was just perfect timing.
He said if any other team would have called, there would have been no chance of him doing what he did.
COLTS' PHILIP RIVERS HOPES EMOTIONAL NFL RETURN PROVIDES INSPIRATION
"Everything just lined up," he said. "It was a place I’d been, a team I was familiar with the offense was exactly the same. The coach I knew. It was all those things that made it kinda the perfect storm.
"I’m back to the sideline. This was a fun three-week blur that nobody saw coming, including myself, and that will be it."
The Colts will go with Riley Leonard for the final game of the season.
Rivers, 44, was a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist before he decided to turn his retirement clock back.to join the Colts. Indianapolis couldn’t pick up a win with Rivers under center.
He had 544 passing yards, four touchdown passes and three interceptions in those three starts.
Rivers will walk away with 63,984 passing yards, 425 passing touchdowns and one incredible story to tell.

Iran in shutdown as protesters storm governor's office, crowds chant 'Death to Khamenei'
Iran ground to a near standstill Wednesday as businesses, universities and government offices closed under a government-ordered shutdown amid protests caused by a growing political and economic crisis.
Video footage circulating online and shared by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) shows intense clashes between protesters and security forces in cities, including Shiraz, Isfahan, Kermanshah and Tehran.
In the videos, protesters chant anti-regime slogans and confront security forces in crowded streets.
Footage included scenes of screaming and apparent gunfire, with demonstrators throwing objects and shouting, "Death to the Dictator" and "Proud Arakis, support, support."
Additional footage shared by MEK shows crowds chanting, "Death to Khamenei!" and "Shame on you, shame on you!" as anger appears to spread across the country, with a particular focus on bazaar-led protests in Tehran.
Some of the most dramatic scenes were reported in the city of Fasa in south-central Iran. Video circulating online shows demonstrators hurling objects at the gates of a government complex and shaking them until they opened.
Opposition groups also reported that protesters stormed the governor’s office, prompting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces to open fire, per Reuters.

Military helicopters were seen flying over the city, apparently to intimidate residents and prevent the unrest from spreading.
In Kermanshah, in western Iran, bazaar merchants were seen confronting security forces while chanting, "Dishonorable, dishonorable," according to video footage.
The one-day shutdown affected 21 of Iran’s 31 provinces, including Tehran, as President Masoud Pezeshkian sought to contain mounting public anger fueled by inflation, currency instability and declining living standards.

Demonstrations, strikes and clashes with security forces continued for a fourth consecutive day in cities across the country.
The unrest has unfolded alongside a series of high-level leadership changes that have added to uncertainty.
On Wednesday, Pezeshkian appointed Abdolnaser Hemmati, a former economy minister, as the new head of Iran’s central bank after the resignation of Mohammad Reza Farzin.
State media quoted the president as acknowledging the role was "extremely difficult and complex," warning that the new central bank chief would face intense pressure and criticism amid ongoing economic turmoil, according to IRNA.
Separately, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei announced the appointment of IRGC Brig. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi as deputy commander in chief of the Revolutionary Guards.
Disney World cast member injured after massive boulder prop veers off track at Indiana Jones stunt show
A massive boulder prop veered off course during Disney World’s Indiana Jones stunt show Tuesday, striking a cast member who courageously tried to halt the rampaging prop.
The tense moment during the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Hollywood Studios was captured on video by an audience member and quickly went viral.
In the footage, a giant ball rolled out from behind the scenes during the show’s temple sequence. It traveled down an elevated track, hit a wall from the side and suddenly bounced off the platform.
As it hurtled toward the audience, a staff member bravely ran up to the boulder, trying to intercept the prop.

The cast member was then quickly knocked down by the force as other employees rushed to help him. When he got up, the back of his shaved head was covered in blood.
The prop ricocheted back toward the stage and away from the audience, where staff were able to safely recover it.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Disney said it will not release the current condition of the member to respect his privacy but noted he is recovering.
"We’re focused on supporting our cast member, who is recovering," Disney said.
Disney said the park will also modify that scene of the show after the incident.
"Safety is at the heart of what we do, and that element of the show will be modified as our safety team completes a review of what happened."
Here’s where Trump launched airstrikes around the world in 2025: 'Protect the homeland'
Though touting himself as the peace president, President Donald Trump has not been afraid to unleash lethal rocket strikes on U.S. enemies when he feels the need arises.
In 2025, Trump ordered strikes on nine different countries and regions in the interest of furthering U.S. national security.
Here are the countries, groups and regions that felt the power of the U.S. military in action this year.
Throughout the year, the U.S. has continued to conduct airstrikes against ISIS factions and al-Shabab in Somalia.
According to a U.S. Africa Command statement, a Feb. 1 airstrike targeting a series of cave complexes in northern Somalia killed 14 ISIS-Somalia operatives, including Ahmed Maeleninine, a key ISIS recruiter, financier and external operations leader responsible for deploying militants into the U.S. and across Europe.
RUBIO IDENTIFIES 'SINGLE MOST SERIOUS THREAT' TO THE US FROM WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Thousands of miles from U.S., sovereign territory, the Trump Department of War unleashed lethal strikes on Iran-backed Houthi terror fighters in Yemen as part of a mission dubbed "Operation Rough Rider." The strikes were in response to attacks against U.S. military and commercial vessels traveling through the Red Sea.
Sean Parnell, a spokesperson for the Department of War, said in May that U.S. Central Command strikes had been carried out since March and had "hit over 1,000 targets, killing Houthi fighters and leaders and degrading their capabilities."
Parnell called the strikes "hugely successful." On May 6, the Houthis agreed to a ceasefire with the U.S., and the fighters have not carried out any attacks on U.S. vessels since, though they have targeted ships from other nations.
On March 13, U.S. Central Command carried out an airstrike in Iraq’s Al Anbar province that killed the No. 2 ISIS leader, Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, and another ISIS operative.
At Trump’s direction, the U.S. military launched a strike on three Iranian nuclear sites in a mission that went from June 21-22.
During the operation, "Midnight Hammer," B-2 stealth bombers departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and dropped over a dozen bunker buster bombs and launched more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles on key Iranian nuclear sites.
According to the Pentagon, the strikes decimated Iran’s nuclear capabilities and led to a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The operation, however, was highly controversial, with some Democratic lawmakers accusing Trump of escalating tensions and downplaying the effectiveness of the strikes.
Iran launched a counterattack on the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, but there were no reported casualties.
As part of what the Department of War dubbed "Operation Southern Spear," the U.S. unleashed 33 strikes on allefed drug boats traveling in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, killing over 100 traffickers.

The strikes garnered significant criticism, with some Democrats accusing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of war crimes. The Pentagon described the operation as a counter-narco-terrorism campaign against designated terror organizations "taken in defense of vital U.S. national interests and to protect the homeland."
In response to two U.S. service members being killed in Syria, the U.S. unleashed Operation Hawkeye Dec.19. U.S. and allied forces employed more than 100 precision munitions targeting over 70 known ISIS infrastructure and weapons sites across central Syria, resulting in the deaths or detention of 23 terrorist operatives.
Hegseth called the airstrikes "a declaration of vengeance" in direct response to the ISIS attack that took place on Dec. 13 in Palmyra, Syria.
According to Central Command, U.S. and partner forces in Syria have conducted operations during the last 12 months that resulted in more than 300 terrorists being detained.
On Christmas night, the U.S. launched strikes on ISIS-linked military forces in coordination with the Nigerian government in Sokoto State in northwestern Nigeria.
Trump said he ordered U.S. airstrikes in northwest Nigeria against ISIS militants who, he says, "have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years."
TRUMP CASTS MADURO’S OUSTER AS ‘SMART’ MOVE AS RUSSIA, CHINA ENTER THE FRAY
Following months of escalation with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, this week Trump appeared to suggest the U.S. carried out a strike on drug operations inside Venezuela.
Speaking with reporters Monday, he said, "There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. They load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats, and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around."
Jim Beam shuts down iconic Kentucky distillery for at least a year amid market downturn
A whiskey sour for the distilled spirits industry.
Consumers are souring on drinking alcohol.
And that’s one of a host of complex reasons why Jim Beam is placing its main distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, on ice for at least a year.
Claudia Coffey knows Kentucky bourbon country as well as anyone. She’s a podcaster and bourbon insider.
TARIFFS PUSH US WINE INDUSTRY INTO UNCERTAIN TERRITORY: 'REALLY CREATES A CHALLENGE'
"Bourbon is Kentucky, right? We love horse racing in Kentucky. We love bourbon in Kentucky. It's the reason that 2.7 million people come to visit the Commonwealth every single year," said Coffey. "It’s some of the biggest news to come out of Kentucky in quite some time, and this is one of the most iconic brands in bourbon."
Not everyone has heard of Willett or Four Roses when it comes to bourbon. But Jim Beam is Americana. Ubiquitous. Kind of like McDonald’s or Coke.
Americans are imbibing less — down 6% from just two years ago. And more than 16 million barrels of Kentucky spirits — including bourbon and rye — are aging in warehouses across the state. Distillers are paying taxes on those barrels while they age.
It’s an issue of supply and demand. But the problem is not exclusive to Jim Beam.
"It's not a question of who's shutting down production," said Charlie Prince, who runs the Drammers Whiskey Club. "It's a question of who is admitting it."
Overseas distillers like Midleton in Ireland, which makes Jameson, and Highland Park in Scotland all reduced production recently because of a glut of bourbon, whiskey and Scotch on the market.
However, observers say tariffs and the trade war with Canada hit Jim Beam especially hard.
"Ten percent of Kentucky bourbon sales were going to Canada, and that has dropped to almost zero," said Prince. "In Canada, that has been taken on as a kind of a national mission for Canadians, saying, ‘Let's buy Canadian’ and push back against the politics they don't like coming from the U.S. And, so, you see stores just pulling all American products and banning them in some provinces. So, that's definitely a political response."
Democrats quickly latched onto the tariff argument.
"Thousands of Kentuckians power the bourbon industry. We will all feel the impact of this," declared Rep. Morgan McGarvey, D-Ky. "It’s hard to overstate just how devastating Trump’s tariffs are for America’s signature spirit."
RECORD LOW NUMBER OF AMERICANS REPORT DRINKING ALCOHOL, AND NEW TEETOTALERS ARE EXPLAINING WHY
But one industry observer believes that tariffs are a single ingredient in a complex economic cocktail. Jessica Spector is a professor at Yale who studies the history and culture of liquor and spirits.
"Anybody that tells you that they have an explanation, ‘Oh, it's tariffs,’ or 'Oh, it's post-pandemic retraction,’ is giving you a too simplistic explanation," said Spector. "It's unclear what impact the tariffs are having and will have in the future. People have argued over tariffs for a long time. As long as there has been trade, there have been arguments over tariffs. It's unclear whether the tariffs are sort of the coup de gras to an industry that was already suffering."
Spector says yes, Generation Z drinks less and uses cannabis more. There are also health concerns. But the spirits industry has witnessed shifts before. She says people moved from brown liquor to vodka in the 1970s because it was seen as healthier.
"They also jogged more and did a lot more cocaine because that was seen as more health conscious. So, it gets really complicated when you break things down generationally," said Spector.
But the tariffs remain extraordinarily controversial. The Trump administration says tariffs are here to stay.
"Tariffs are going to be part of the policy landscape," United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Fox. "We know they’re successful."
But the tariffs may also evaporate.
The Constitution grants Congress the authority to tax and impose tariffs. President Trump used emergency powers to levy global tariffs earlier this year. That’s why this issue wound up at the Supreme Court. Attorneys argued the case in October.
"Canada is one of our closest allies. I think it would be hard to find Canada engaging in unfair trade practices because we have what used to be called the NAFTA agreement, between Canada, the United States and Mexico to bring down all the trade barriers between the countries," said University of California law professor John Yoo.
Based on the oral arguments, Yoo believes the high court will halt the Trump-imposed tariffs under the premise that the U.S. faces a national emergency.
"Canada will immediately benefit, and you'll be able to find your choice of American bourbons on Canadian store shelves," said Yoo.
FREEDOM AND FACTS, NOT FEAR, SHOULD FRAME AMERICA'S CHOICES ON ALCOHOL
In fact, Yoo believes the Supreme Court could issue its ruling sooner rather than later — especially if it nixes the tariffs. That’s because of all the duties and fees that might be levied on products for months — and then reversed.
It’s important to note that Jim Beam will continue operating two other distilleries for the time being. And Spector says Generation Z prefers cocktails. So, that could force the industry to shift what it produces.
Now here’s a little tidbit you probably won’t learn any place else.
Roam any distillery in Scotland, be it Dalwhinnie in the Highlands, Glen Scotia in Campbeltown, GlenGrant in Speyside or Bowmore on Islay, and you will find distillers aging Scotch in Jim Beam barrels.
It’s not just Jim Beam barrels that you will find in Scotland. It’s also Buffalo Trace. Heaven Hill. Woodford Reserve. Wild Turkey. Congress only allows American distillers to use American oak barrels once for producing bourbon. So, Scotch distillers overseas love to get their hands on a good bourbon barrel to age their spirit.
The barrels may partially impart a vanilla flavor into the expression, stemming from "vanillans" in the wood.
The trend of using American bourbon barrels for Scotch began in the 1940s after the U.S. market came back online following the end of Prohibition. Distillers in Scotland began using sherry barrels to age their spirits prior to that (hence, the rich meaty flavors you get from Macallan). Sherry is still prevalent despite a decline in people consuming sherry these days. But fewer bourbon barrels from a big producer like Jim Beam now could alter the taste of Scotch in about 15 to 20 years.
That said, demand for Scotch is down like bourbon. So, some of these may even out.
It’s worth noting that Suntory Global Spirits owns Jim Beam. It was known as Beam Suntory until recently. Suntory also owns major Scotch labels like Bowmore, Admore, Laphroaig, Auchentoshan and Glen Garioch. The pipeline of barrels from Jim Beam was a good proposition for Suntory to age Scotch.
So, it’s possible that, down the road, Scotch distillers may age some of their expressions in barrels that once contained something else — other than Kentucky bourbon. And that’s where the flavor profile will evolve.
It’s also impossible to know the market trends and what people will be interested in drinking in 15 to 20 years. And, so, whatever distillers put into a barrel now might not match market trends in the future.
In fact, perhaps people will revert to drinking bourbon and Scotch. And the market glut now may switch into a spirits famine where products consumers want are hard to find.
Elon Musk mocks MS NOW contributor for denying genetic differences between ethnicities during heated debate
Elon Musk criticized MS NOW contributor Paola Ramos after she went viral last week for a clip in which she repeatedly denied there are any genetic differences between groups of different ancestry.
Ramos shared a clip on her Instagram from an interview she did with pronatalist activists. The pronatalist movement believes modern civilization is undergoing a destructive decline in the birthrate, which must be undone by encouraging people to have more children. In her Instagram caption, Ramos warned, "A movement that encourages people to have more babies is once again gaining momentum in the far right. Remember, Trump said he wants to be the ‘president of fertility.’"
Ramos, the daughter of Telemundo journalist and prominent Trump critic Jorge Ramos, spoke with neuroscientist Malcolm Collins and his wife Simone Collins. The couple wrote "The Pragmatist’s Guide" series and are advocates of maintaining healthy cultures and birthrates to uphold civilization.
In the interview clip, which went viral, Ramos challenged Malcolm, saying, "Malcolm, you’ve said things like, ‘Black women are biologically different than White women.’"
"They, yes, they have different fertility windows. They have a higher rate of fertility complications," he began.
"But there’s no scientific evidence to prove that a Black woman and a White woman are genetically different, right? This is like …," Ramos said.
"What are you talking about!?" the neuroscientist shouted. "Like, literally, there are genes that code for their skin color."
"This is like, government data. This isn’t me. This is the National Institute of Health. This is the American Medical Association. There is no scientific evidence to prove that," Ramos claimed.
Malcolm rejected this claim.
ANCIENT BONES, TEETH FOUND IN SHIPWRECK BURIAL GROUND HELP EXPLAIN GENETIC ANCESTRY OF SCANDINAVIANS
"What you’re stating is just factually incorrect," Malcolm said. "Humans are genetically diverse. It’s not a bad thing that humans are genetically diverse."
"I’m not saying it’s a bad or a good thing. I’m saying there is no scientific evidence," Ramos said.
"There is scientific evidence. There is overwhelming scientific evidence," Malcolm said. "This is like saying the sky is not blue. Like, it is genes that code their skin color, right? Those genes are obviously different in them than they are in us. How is that not science? That’s just, like, a basic fact. The genes that code their skin color, their level of melanin production, are different from my genes."
"And that’s precisely why I was asking this question," Ramos answered. "Because I think for some people that do believe, like you, that people are genetically different, that has historically been used to promote racial hierarchies, right? And that’s why I’m asking you."

Musk, another advocate of pronatalism who has warned low birthrates are "one of the biggest risks to civilization," responded to the clip of Ramos with a laughing emoji. Others on social media compared her interview to something the "Borat" satirical troll personality would do, while others were baffled she chose to share the clip in the first place.
Ramos didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Tennis star's fiancée plans to skip one tradition ahead of her wedding
Paige Lorenze, an entrepreneur and fiancée of men’s tennis star Tommy Paul, said in a recent interview she will not be partaking in at least one tradition ahead of her wedding.
Lorenze and Paul were engaged in July, three years after the two went public with their relationship.
As the two begin to plan their wedding, there is at least one thing Lorenze will not be partaking in.

She spoke about it to People.
"When I got engaged, I had an engagement party, but I think bridal showers are a lot," Lorenze told the magazine in an interview published Wednesday. "The wedding is a celebration. So, my mom really wants me to do a wedding shower, but I don't feel like I need one because there are so many things. There's the welcome drinks. There's so many things. So, I think no bridal shower."
TENNIS STAR ARYNA SABALENKA SAYS FEMALE ATHLETES FACING TRANS COMPETITORS 'JUST NOT FAIR TO WOMEN'
Modern weddings have bits of old school and new school feels. The weddings baby boomers may have been accustomed to are likely far different than the nuptials that occur during Gen Z weddings, from the décor down to the wedding dress.
Olivia Culpo took heat last year for her demure wedding dress. She told Vogue she didn't want her wedding gown to "exude sex in any way, shape or form," a comment that drew backlash on social media.
Culpo ignored the haters when she married San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.
Lorenze, also a model and social media influencer, started the lifestyle brand Dairy Boy.

Ravens’ Marlon Humphrey calls Steelers matchup script-worthy ahead of AFC North clash
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will meet Sunday night for an AFC North title and a trip to the NFL playoffs.
A win or tie in primetime would give the Steelers their first division crown since 2020. Baltimore is aiming for its third consecutive division championship.
Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey weighed in on the winner-take-all situation, suggesting the game was effectively a plot point worthy of a script.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM
"The NFL scriptwriters, they did a good job with this one," Humphrey told reporters when asked to share his thoughts on facing the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 18.
Humphrey is a four-time Pro Bowler and has four interceptions in 14 games this season.
Veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers had perhaps his best game in a Steelers uniform in a road win at Baltimore on Dec. 7, thanks in large part to a seven-catch, 148-yard performance from DK Metcalf, who will not be eligible to play Sunday night due to a two-game suspension.
Metcalf is sitting out as punishment for making contact with a fan in Detroit earlier this month.
The stakes should keep the Steelers from having a hangover after letting the Cleveland Browns jump to an early 10-point lead before holding on for an upset victory last week.
When asked if it was frustrating to lose to a team that came in with just three wins on the season with so much on the line, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin shrugged.
"Man, there’s a lot of things that you could get frustrated about in our business," he said. "I’ve learned to kind of always move forward. My windshield is much bigger than my rearview."
The Ravens and Steelers kick off at 8:20 ET on Jan. 4.
