Corso made his final appearance as part of ESPN’s “College GameDay” crew before No. 3 and reigning national champion Ohio State took on top-ranked Texas. WASHINGTON — Lee Corso has made his final headgear pick as host on ESPN's "College GameDay." On Saturday, the longtime host put on Brutus Buckeye for the 46th time in his broadcasting career. His final appearance on the show came right before No. 3 Ohio State kicked off against top-ranked Texas.  “This is one of the easiest picks I've ever made. Texas is loaded. Texas is number one. They have a Manning at quarterback. Poor, Ohio State. They ain't got a chance. Give me my first love!” he said in front of the Ohio Stadium.  Corso, who turned 90 on Aug. 7, has been a part of “GameDay” since its start in 1987 and has made pregame shows entertaining under a simple philosophy: “Football is just the vehicle. It’s entertainment, sweetheart.” GameDay’s 26th appearance in Columbus, Ohio, also marked a full-circle moment for Corso. It was outside Ohio Stadium on Oct. 5, 1996, where Corso’s popular headgear prediction segment began. The last headgear pick of the great Lee Corso’s career is his first love:OHIO STATEpic.twitter.com/SLptL8EB2m— Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) August 30, 2025 Since announcing his retirement earlier this year, Corso has received his share of acclaim and send-offs. He was honored at the ESPY Awards in July and received a standing ovation before boarding his flight in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday. Corso has worn 69 different schools’ mascot headgear and has dressed up as Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish leprechaun, the Stanford tree, and historic figures James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. However, Brutus remains Corso’s first love. Corso — the lone remaining member of GameDay's original cast — has selected and worn Brutus Buckeye's headgear a record 46 times. Alabama is next with 38. The host has a 66.5% winning rate on his headgear predictions (286-144), which is much better than his 73-85-6 mark in 15 years as a coach at Louisville, Indiana, and Northern Illinois. His head-gear game predictions, off-the-cuff analysis and signature line — “Not so fast, my friend” — have endeared him to generations of college football fans.  In the spring of 2009, Corso suffered a stroke at his home in Florida, but returned to be part of the first “College GameDay” that season. Over the past couple of seasons Corso has had to miss a handful of "College GameDay" episodes for health reasons.  Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Cutler, 42, was arrested in October after he rear-ended another vehicle with his pickup truck. FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Former Broncos, Bears and Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler will spend four days in jail after pleading guilty to driving under the influence, WSMV reported. Cutler, 42, was arrested in October after he rear-ended another vehicle with his pickup truck. Police said Cutler smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and was slurring his words. According to an arrest affidavit, Cutler offered the other driver $2,000 to not call the police and to let him drive away. Cutler refused a field sobriety test and was taken to a hospital, where a blood sample was obtained after getting a search warrant. Police said they also found two firearms in the car, including a loaded pistol. Cutler was also charged with failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision and violating implied consent. WSMV reported that a weapon possession charge was dismissed as part of the plea deal, and Cutler agreed to forfeit the pistol. Cutler will pay a $350 fine and serve four days at the Williamson County Jail beginning on Sept. 29. He will then be on unsupervised probation for one year and must attend a DUI safety class, the station reported. A first-round draft pick out of Vanderbilt, Cutler played 12 years in the NFL, throwing for 227 touchdowns and more than 35,000 yards. In his only playoff appearance, he led the Chicago Bears to the NFC championship game. Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Mayor Brandon Johnson demands that President Trump stand down any plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. CHICAGO — The mayor of Chicago pushed back Saturday against what he called the “out-of-control” Trump administration's plan to surge federal officers into the nation’s third-largest city, which could take place within days. The Chicago Police Department will be barred from helping federal authorities with civil immigration enforcement or any related patrols, traffic stops and checkpoints during the surge, according to an executive order signed by Mayor Brandon Johnson. The mayor directed all city departments to guard the constitutional rights of Chicago residents “amidst the possibility of imminent militarized immigration or National Guard deployment by the federal government.” When asked during a news conference about federal agents who are presumably “taking orders,” Johnson replied: “Yeah, and I don’t take orders from the federal government.” Johnson also blocked Chicago police from wearing face coverings to hide their identities, as most federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have adopted since the Trump administration took charge this year. The federal surge into Chicago could start as early as Sept. 5 and last about 30 days, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been made public. The officials described the immigration crackdown as part of a larger effort to expand the federal law enforcement presence in major Democratic-run cities, as it did this summer in Los Angeles. Unlike the recent federal takeover of policing in Washington, D.C., the Chicago operation is not expected to rely on the National Guard or military and is focused exclusively on immigration instead of being cast as part of a broad campaign against crime, the officials said. Chicago is home to a large immigrant population, and both the city and the state of Illinois have some of the country’s strongest rules against cooperating with federal immigration enforcement efforts. That has often put the city and state at odds with President Donald Trump 's mass deportation agenda. Johnson's order builds on the city's longtime stance, saying neither Chicago nor Illinois officials have sought or been consulted on the federal presence and demanding Trump stand down on those plans. Johnson had harsh words for Trump during his news conference, accusing the president of “behaving outside the bounds of the Constitution” and seeking a federal presence in blue cities as retribution against his political rivals. “He is reckless and out of control,” Johnson said. “He's the biggest threat to our democracy that we've experienced in the history of our country.” In response, the White House insisted the potential flood of federal agents was about “cracking down on crime.” “If these Democrats focused on fixing crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts to criticize the President, their communities would be much safer," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in an email Saturday.

Michael Paul Brown is suspected of shooting and killing four people at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana and evading arrest for a week. BILLINGS, Mont. — A man suspected of killing four people at a Montana bar and evading capture for a week while hundreds of law enforcement officers searched for him in the nearby mountains faces four counts of murder, according to court records. Defendant Michael Paul Brown lived next door to The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, where a bartender and three patrons were shot and killed Aug. 1. Authorities have not commented on a potential motive for the 45-year-old former soldier. His niece has said Brown long struggled with mental illness. The charges Brown faces were posted on a court website Saturday after the case previously had been under seal by a state judge. Charging documents were not immediately available. Following the shooting, authorities said Brown stole a truck and then ditched it a few miles outside of town, close to where he was eventually apprehended. He hid in nearby forests, moving locations while helicopters and drones circled overhead and officers and dogs searched on the ground, officials said. But he was eventually flushed into a sparsely populated area near a state highway by the pressure of so many officers searching for him, according to officials. Brown was captured on Aug. 8 inside an unoccupied structure near a state highway. Investigators also are examining whether he had any contact with individuals or property owners who might have helped him while he was on the run. State Department of Justice spokesperson Chase Scheuer said Friday that the probe is ongoing. Brown is scheduled to make an initial district court appearance on Sept. 3. He is being held on $2 million bail and represented by attorney Walter Hennessey, who did not immediately respond to telephone messages on Friday or Saturday. Anaconda, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Butte, is home to roughly 9,000 people. Hemmed in by mountains, it was founded by a copper magnate in the late 1800s. A smelter stack that is no longer operational looms over the valley. The owner of The Owl Bar has said Brown patronized it over the past several decades, but he was not aware of any conflicts between the suspect and victims. A conviction for murder, known in Montana as deliberate homicide, is punishable by death in the state. Executions have been on hold since 2015 under a court ruling regarding a drug used in lethal injections. Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Speaking in English, the Chicago-born pope referred directly to the attack in urging a culture of fraternity to prevail. VATICAN CITY, — Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States. History’s first U.S. pope spoke in English as he denounced the attack and the “logic of weapons” fueling wars around the world, during his Sunday noon blessing from his studio overlooking St. Peter’s Square. “Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during a school Mass in the American state of Minnesota,” said the Chicago-born Leo. “We hold in our prayers the countless children killed and injured every day around the world. Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” Two children were killed Wednesday and 20 people were injured during the shooting attack at the Church of Annunciation in Minneapolis, as hundreds of students from the nearby Annunciation Catholic School and others gathered for a Mass. The shooter fired 116 rifle rounds through the church’s stained-glass windows, and later died by suicide. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Leo had refrained from any political commentary about guns in America, sending a telegram of condolence that focused exclusively on the spiritual. He said he was saddened by the “terrible tragedy” and sent his “heartfelt condolences and the assurance of spiritual closeness to all those affected.” Leo had opened his appeal Sunday by demanding an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and a “serious commitment to dialogue” from the warring sides. "It’s time that those responsible renounce the logic of weapons and take the path of negotiations and peace, with the support of the international community," he said. "The voice of weapons must be silenced, while the voice of fraternity and justice must rise.” Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told The AP that security forces raided the agencies’ offices in Houthi-controlled Sanaa Sunday morning. CAIRO, Egypt — The Iran-backed Houthis on Sunday raided offices of the United Nations’ food and children's agencies in Yemen’s capital, detaining at least one U.N. employee, officials said, as the rebels tighten security across Sanaa following the Israeli killing of their prime minister. Abeer Etefa, a spokesperson for the World Food Program, told The Associated Press that security forces raided the agencies’ offices in the Houthi-controlled capital Sunday morning. Also raided were the offices of the United Nations’ children agency, UNICEF, according to a U.N. official and a Houthi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief the media. Ammar Ammar, a spokesperson for UNICEF, said there was “an ongoing situation” related to their offices in Sanaa, without providing further details. The U.N. official said contacts with several other WFP and UNICEF staffers were lost and that they were likely also detained. The raids were the latest in a long-running Houthi crackdown against the United Nations and other international organizations working in rebel-held areas in Yemen. They have detained dozens of U.N. staffers, as well as people associated with aid groups, civil society and the now-closed U.S. Embassy in Sanaa. The U.N. suspended its operations in the Houthi stronghold of Saada in northern Yemen after the rebels detained eight U.N. staffers in January. Sunday's raids came on the heels of the killing of the Houthi prime minister and several of his cabinet in an Israeli strike last week, in a blow to the Iran-backed rebels who have launched attacks on Israel and ships in the Red Sea in relation to the Gaza war.

This is the third water-related incident that law enforcement responded to Saturday. ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Two people were taken to the hospital Saturday night after being pulled from the water at Lake Sammamish State Park. The two people were on watercraft before going in the water, according to King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Mike Ellis. Onlookers at the beach pulled one person out of the water, and one of those people started CPR, Ellis said. King County patrol officers pulled the second person and also started CPR. Medics took the two people to Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue. This is the third water-related incident law enforcement responded to this weekend. In Renton, a 43-year-old man drowned Saturday afternoon after getting in the water while fleeing police at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. At Lake Tapps, a 55-year-old man died Saturday afternoon after being administered CPR. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating what led up to his death. This is a developing story.

The Revive in 25 worship concert at Gas Works Park was peaceful, with police on alert after previous clashes. SEATTLE — A worship concert and rally at Seattle’s Gas Works Park drew supporters and opponents Saturday. The event was part of the Revive in 25 tour, which is led by Sean Feucht, a California-based singer and preacher who rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic by organizing large “Let Us Worship” concerts in defiance of public health restrictions. The event came with added scrutiny after a similar rally at Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill in May sparked clashes between a religious group and counter protesters. Twenty-three people were arrested during the May incident. Seattle police were on alert about safety concerns for the Gas Works concert. Although the event drew a crowd of opponents who say the group's organizers are anti-LGBTQ+ and spread bigotry, it remained peaceful. The Seattle Police Department’s outreach engagement team spoke with both supporters and opponents during the event. The two groups were separated by a fence. “We've been doing our best to ensure that people can move freely and speak freely,” said Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes. “And we have had certainly a great deal of cooperation from everyone. Whether it's onlookers, whether it's people who don't agree with the message or people who do agree with the message.” The event was originally planned for Cal Anderson Park. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell permitted the event but after meeting with organizers, it was moved to Gas Works. Feucht described it all as an "invitation" from the city. "I think it's amazing how five years in a row we've come and worshipped here and this time we have the mayor inviting us and police protecting us," Feucht said. "Maybe Seattle is turning a corner." Feucht has not been shy about criticizing the LGBTQ+ community and Pride celebrations. However, he pushes back against people who say he stirs the pot and riles people up. "To people who say that, you should come to one of the events just to make sure you got the right vibe," Feucht said. Earlier Saturday afternoon, the nonprofit Lavender Rights Project held an event at Washington Hall in Seattle’s Central District. The group called it a celebration rather than a protest. Local LGBTQ+ groups and community members joined the rally to show solidarity. “We’re gonna continue to be Seattle, be gay as hell, have fun, enjoy ourselves,” said Jaelynn Scott, executive director of the Lavender Rights Project. “This will be a sanctuary in this country, in Seattle, for as long as we can keep it.”
