Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller was highly criticized for comparing Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark's game to Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard, with fans taking it as a slight toward Clark. Miller doubled down on his take.

Miller, 60, said the question was not about the stature of the player or how the player has grown the game, but simply about the game itself.

"The question of historically or stature-wise who is she compared to because if that was the case, obviously, the W in the WNBA she has brought so much attention and eyes like a Stephen Curry," Miller said during a recent appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show."

"So if that was the question, then I probably should have said Stephen Curry. But I was going by game alone, like who does her game remind me of and when I look at Payton Pritchard and if you've watched Payton Pritchard,. They're very similar."

Miller said Pritchard is probably a better scorer than Clark once they get to the paint, but they both shoot step-back, deep 3-pointers, move quickly with the ball and get a lot of assists. The Indiana Pacers great insisted that it wasn’t a slight, as people who know basketball love Pritchard’s game.

"Payton Pritchard, to the common fan, isn't well known like Stephen Curry, but to the basketball people know Payton. People really love Payton Pritchard, but it is what it is."

"I think people got caught up because it wasn't a huge name, people say, ‘You could have said Damian Lillard, you could have said Trae Young, you could have said Stephen Curry.’ I was comparing the games, not the stature of Caitlin Clark."

Pritchard was the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in the 2024-25 season. In his career, he had primarily been a productive bench player, averaging 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3 assists per game in his six-year career.

This season, with superstar Jayson Tatum out with an Achilles injury, Pritchard has started more games and he has been more productive with more minutes. In 60 games this season, Pritchard is averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Dan Patrick gave Reggie Miller a chance to amend his comments, and asked Miller again whose game Clark reminded him most of, and he again answered Pritchard before joking rattling off other superstars to appease fans.

"I'm going to say Payton Pritchard, Stephen Curry, Kyrie (Irving), Isaiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, (Cade) Cunningham, (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), she's all of them, alright, she's everyone."

Decorated Navy TOPGUN graduate and F/A-18 fighter pilot Matthew "Whiz" Buckley said Tuesday that Iran has "zero" options as U.S. and Israeli strikes continue in Operation Epic Fury — but warned the biggest danger now may be friendly fire amid a complex battle environment.

Given U.S. air superiority, Buckley said on "Fox & Friends First" the Iranian government is backed into a corner.

"They really don't have any options. When you have command of the sky, you can do whatever you want... We have free flow over the airspace, which means we can pick and choose targets at will and not worry about any ground fire," he said, but added that, "the only ground fire we have to worry about is friendly fire."

Buckley said he was grateful for the safety of the U.S. airmen who had to eject themselves from their F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft after they were mistakenly engaged by allied Kuwaiti air defenses.

"I'm more worried about our own forces than I am the Iranians at this point. It's over with. As far as their air, sea and mainly land powers as well," he said.

Three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles were shot down in a friendly fire incident over Kuwait late Sunday during active combat operations tied to Operation Epic Fury, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The aircraft were taken down by Kuwait amid a complex battle environment that included attacks by Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones.

All six aircrew members safely ejected, were quickly recovered, and are reported to be in stable condition.

Despite the misfire, Buckley expressed confidence in the military's stated objectives of degrading Iran's ballistic missile capability and nuclear program, and said that what happened next would be up to the Iranian people.

The mission also served as a demonstration that, "whether it was the Maduro raid, Operation Midnight Hammer, or Epic Fury, we can project power around the globe and hit our mission objectives extremely quickly," Buckley said.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte voiced full support for President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran, declaring key allies stand "all for one, one for all" amid Tehran’s widening missile retaliation.

"There is no sliver of light between us," Rutte told "Fox & Friends" on Monday.

"The Europeans, Canada, Mark Carney, the United States, the American president… All for one, one for all, because everybody supports, here in Europe, the fact that [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei is gone, that the nuclear capability is gone, that the ballistic missile program has been now degraded — which was a big threat for Europe, for Israel, for the whole region," he said.

Rutte commended Trump for crippling the Iranian regime’s military capabilities and eliminating Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying European leaders expressed broad backing during conversations over the weekend.

"This is crucial," Rutte said.

"And what I see in Europe — I spoke with all the key European leaders over the weekend — is widespread support for what the president is doing, and also making sure that when it comes to logistics, access, defending key U.S. Interests in Europe and in the region, the Europeans are really stepping up."

Rutte’s comments came as Iran fired missiles at military and civilian targets in Israel and Gulf states following the U.S.-led strikes.

Rutte said he personally spoke with several top European leaders in the immediate aftermath of the strikes and views their responses as supportive.

"When you look, for example, at Friedrich Merz, the German Chancellor, he is now traveling to Washington for meetings tomorrow with President Trump. He has made the best type of comments over the last couple of days. I really think he is completely supportive of what is happening," he said. 

"You see the same from France when it comes to all the help they are giving, and also from the UK. The problem with the UK was legal for these defensive operations," he continued.

Rutte acknowledged that Britain initially hesitated to provide U.S. forces with access to its bases, saying the issue centered on legal clearance for defensive operations.

"They needed the legal case to be solid, so last night they came around. I think that's important."

French newspaper Le Monde reported Monday that, though European leaders reacted with "extreme caution" after strikes began Saturday, their "tone shifted in response to Tehran's regional counteroffensive" the next day, even issuing a joint statement vowing to not stand by in the event of further "indiscriminate" attacks.

You know the old saying, "Not all sinkholes are created equally?" Of course not, because it's not a saying at all. But it does ring true, and a sinkhole that was recently discovered at a golf club in England proves the point.

Davyhulme Park Golf Club, located just west of Manchester, is more than 110-years-old. And seeing what the sinkhole revealed, it's a course that was built on top of a rather impressive wine and port cellar.

After a lengthy stretch of severe rain, greenskeepers discovered the appearance of a sinkhole on the 13th hole. The staff got to work around the issue and uncovered the old cellar stocked full of booze. In the video shared by the club on its Instagram page, the cellar is believed to date back to the original manor house in which the club was built.

As you'll see in the video, we're not talking about some tiny four-by-four cellar with a handful of old wine bottles in it; this is a seriously large room.

The club hasn't posted any updates or clips of staffers trying any of the booze found underground, but one would imagine some brave soul took a sip of what has to be decades-old wine.

Next steps here, beyond repairing the area and getting play back up and running smoothly, is for the club to make some sort of alternate logo incorporating the newly-found cellar. It would be incredible to make the cellar operational and have it be some "hidden" spot to grab a mid-round beverage. But having people go underground into a cellar to booze it up may not be the smartest or safest of business decisions for the club.

Over the course of her career, Ali Larter has been subject to the harsh realities of Hollywood's beauty standards. Now, the "Landman" actress — who turned 50 on Saturday — is leaning into who she is today and feeling better than ever before. 

"The most beautiful you're ever going to be is today and to embrace that, to embrace it, to be kind to yourself," Larter said during a luncheon to celebrate a new wellness destination, Canyon Ranch Austin, in Dallas, Texas, earlier this month. "I think that women, in my industry and in the world and the way that we're seen and spoken about, it's just it's so critical. We just need to be kinder to ourselves and also, like I'm someone who, I don't want to look 20 years younger, 10 years younger. I want to be the best version of me right now."

"So I think that embracing the best version of yourself and don't be scared of the hard work, because you will feel mentally and physically stronger when you have that practice," she said.

Larter also said she was looking forward to turning 50.

"The women that I know that [are] older than me, are living their best lives. They’re taking care of themselves. I have a big birthday coming this year, and I’m excited," she said.

Larter's view on health and wellness hasn't always been crystal clear. From her early modeling days to her "Landman" success, the mom-of-two has evolved in more ways than one. 

"I hold myself to such a high regard in the way that I want to walk through this world, and a lot of that starts with wellness," Larter said during the Texas luncheon event. "The beauty of aging is just being kinder to yourself. I’m much more forgiving of myself than I ever have been."

Larter also spoke about her relationship with food, saying, "I’m not scared of food...food is what makes you feel strong, but you have to choose it wisely."

In January, while on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast, the actress opened up about her strict workout regimen and healthy eating habits. 

"I take care of myself. So that's what I do. But also, when I say I go to the gym, yes, you need to strength train," she said. "You know, as you get older as a woman, it's part of it. You have to do it. But I'm also there, babe. I am like getting through my terror of life. Like I'm working my anxiety out and then I can start the day."

Larter said she typically starts the day with celery juice, a coffee, and then hits the gym. 

"I get up an hour and a half before call time before I get picked up. I just do it. I do the Peloton trainers. I fit it in when I fit it in. I don't do a lot. Sometimes I'll do half an hour. Sometimes I do 20 minutes."

"For me, after I exercise and I sweat, I've burned off a lot of my fear and I spent a lot of time just breathing, and it just gets so much oxygen into my body, and then I just feel better about myself. Like, I've already won the day," she added. "For me, it's a life-changer, and I've never been this disciplined ever in my whole life."

In July, Larter gave Fox News Digital her self-care tips that benefit her hectic, day-to-day routine. 

"I believe in sweating. Number one, you sweat," Larter said. "I don't care if you run, or you do it in a steam room. Sweat, sweat, sweat to get your glow on."

Next, Larter insisted, "Enjoy your life. When you're happy and relaxed, like you can feel it, you can see it. Stressed out, intense, curmudgeons – no, thank you."

"I think one of the biggest things is that routine is how I can handle when my life is running at a high-power level," she said. "It's getting up in the morning. Even if it's 20 minutes, I go for a run. I do yoga, I do stretching. I eat really clean. I drink a lot of water. I don't drink a lot of alcohol. I keep it really tight. And then as soon as I'm done with the run, I ruin it all in one day." 

Despite her new outlook and all her hard work, Larter said she still finds it challenging to let go of vulnerability when it comes to filming bikini scenes in "Landman."

During an interview with People magazine, Larter, who plays Angela Norris in the hit Paramount+ series, described shooting scenes in which her character wears a bikini as "tough, in a weird way."

"I don't think there's an actress alive that's like, 'Woo! Got a bikini scene!'" Larter said. "Nobody wants to do it. Those are the hardest for me," she continued. "I don't enjoy them. It's just part of the story that I'm telling, and I'm an actress, so I get on board. But those are definitely my least favorite."

"In the end, anytime you have to put on a bathing suit and walk in front of anybody, it's really difficult," she said. "When I look around, the sexiest women I know are the women that own it. So, part of getting there with Angela is owning it."

"But no matter what, it's like, I've got to spend all this time fighting off my own insecurities, my own anxiety, to be able to put on that bikini and walk into these scenes," she admitted.

President Donald Trump’s question during the State of the Union address highlighted divisions in the chamber, with many Democratic lawmakers remaining seated when asked if they prioritize American citizens over illegal immigrants.

"Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario traveled to Capitol Hill to track down the lawmakers who stayed silent and ask what they thought of the president’s speech.

"The president asked Democrats to stand up if they prioritize American citizens over illegal aliens. Did you stand?" Belisario asked.

"I didn’t stand," admitted Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer. He dismissed the moment as a "gotcha question." When pressed as to whether Trump had "got" him, Hoyer disagreed with the characterization.

Other Democrats echoed the sentiment, with Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal labeling the moment a cheap "gimmick." Arizona’s Sen. Mark Kelly defended his silence, claiming lawmakers aren't there to "perform."  

Belisario also questioned Texas Rep. Al Green who for the second year in a row was ejected from the chamber after holding a protest sign that read "BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!"

When asked about his priorities, Green said his duty is to "the American Constitution, which protects you, aliens and people in this country."

Green argued he was engaging in "good trouble" during the outburst and blamed his colleagues for escalating the situation.

"It was my colleagues that reached over to rip things out of my hand and said things to me. So, I did not create a disturbance, they did," said Green.

JOHN FETTERMAN SPEAKS ON POSSIBLY BEING LONE DEMOCRAT TO SHAKE TRUMP'S HAND AT STATE OF THE UNION

Texas GOP Rep. Troy Nehls, who ripped Green’s sign, had a different view of the protest.

"I said, 'Al, you've got to be better than this. What the hell are you bringing this sign on here? I mean, Al. You got kicked out of here last year. Now you're [going to] try to do a two-fer,'" Nehls said, accusing Green of staging a spectacle to "get his mug on television."

The House GOP is moving to censure Green for the disturbance. They also censured him in March 2025 over a similar protest during a Trump speech.

While the House GOP moves to censure Green again, some in his own party disagreed with the protests. Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman also called for decorum, stating, "I just don't think we should ever do that. We should respect the office, regardless who’s in that office."

A resolution led by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran is getting the blessing of the House of Representatives' top Democrat.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., released a statement alongside other Democratic leaders Thursday announcing that they will force a vote on Massie's resolution next week.

"As soon as Congress reconvenes next week, we will compel a vote of the full House of Representatives on the bipartisan Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution," the joint statement read.

"This legislation would require the President to come to Congress to make the case for using military force against Iran. The Iranian regime is brutal and destabilizing, seen most recently in the killing of thousands of protesters. However, undertaking a war of choice in the Middle East, without a full understanding of all the attendant risks to our servicemembers and to escalation, is reckless."

KAINE WANTS TO REIN IN TRUMP’S WAR POWERS, BUT NEVER DID THE SAME FOR BIDEN, OBAMA

Jeffries and other top Democrats argued that any military force against Iran would be illegal without approval from Capitol Hill.

"We maintain that any such action would be unconstitutional without consultation with and authorization from Congress. Next week, every Member will have the opportunity to go on the record as to whether they support military action against Iran absent Congressional approval," they said.

Massie cited Congress' war powers in the Constitution in unveiling the legislation earlier this month alongside Khanna.

"Congress must vote on war according to our Constitution," he posted on X. "[Khanna] and I will be forcing that vote to happen in the House as soon as possible. I will vote to put America first, which means voting against more war in the Middle East."

There are multiple mechanisms for forcing a vote over the will of House leadership. But the quickest route is called a "privileged resolution," which mandates that a specific piece of legislation is considered by the full chamber within two legislative days of its introduction.

Before a vote on the measure itself, however, House GOP leaders can call for a preliminary vote to "table" the legislation or refer it to the relevant committee, both ways of effectively killing those resolutions. 

It's considered easier for lawmakers in the majority party to vote to kill resolutions on that procedural vote before they have to take a vote on the bill itself.

Privileged resolutions, which are traditionally seldom used, have gained popularity in recent years as Republicans grapple with a razor-thin House majority.

In this case, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can only afford one GOP defection if all Democrats vote to proceed with blocking Trump's war powers. 

Because Massie is already likely to vote with the minority party, all remaining Republicans in the chamber must vote in lockstep to block the resolution.
