THE NEWS

Welcome to Friday Screencaps and day 12 of 13 straight editions of Screencaps I’ve pumped out for you guys. Is it hard to dump out so many editions in a row? It is if it’s the middle of summer and we don’t have content like the Packers getting absolutely pummeled — and booed off the field at halftime – by the Falcons, 35-14.A night like that produces content like this that I can then turn into a preview of my upcoming weekend that will include a trip to the pumpkin patch where Screencaps Jr. will be running tomorrow. I am already mentally preparing because I’m fairly certain that this will also turn into an apple-picking outing.At least the weather is supposed to be very good. Good luck to all of you who face a doubleheader tomorrow. Let’s get it in and then get back to football Saturdays in October.📩 Email: joe.kinsey@outkick.comSend photos, stories, tips, rants—whatever you’ve got.📰 Screencaps Page:👉 Read the latest Screencaps▶️ YouTube: Screencaps with Joe KinseySubscribe for videos, rants, and behind-the-scenes.🐦 Twitter/X: @JoeKinseyexpTag me or drop a DM.📸 Instagram: @OutKickScreencapsYou guys need to start tagging me on content you’re seeing.📘 Facebook Page: Screencaps on Facebook👥 Facebook Group: Join the Screencaps Community📬 Mail (Thursday Night Mowing League):27072 Carronade Dr, Unit A 155Perrysburg, OH 43551In one of the biggest upsets in Hooters calendar history, the brand announced this week that an Ohio woman, Sophia Zullo, was the 2027 bikini calendar cover model. Why am I shocked? The brand has been retreating by the month back to its roots in Florida. As someone who has tracked Hooters for nearly all of my 20-year Internet career, I figured the brand would lean into its Florida operations by naming a Florida woman to the top honor.Nope, they leaned into…Ohio? There are just two Hooters left in the Buckeye state: one in Dayton and the Mason store.CHILI’S REVIVES ICONIC RED BOOTHS AND CLASSIC DESIGN IN NATIONWIDE RESTAURANT OVERHAULBut it’s not all great news for Hooters in Florida, either.

Every week, we get treated to football on Thursday from the NFL, but Friday and Saturday give us College Football. Caesars Sportsbook is offering us a chance to enjoy the Friday slate with promo code FOXNEWSDYW which allows new users to bet $1 and earn 10 double-your-winnings profit boosts. With many options for betting on today’s slate, it makes sense to look at the schedule. Starting in the early afternoon, we have Army vs. Temple kicking off at 4:00 ET. This game has a spread of Army -3 (all odds are subject to change). This is the second-closest line of the night, and the game has the lowest total at 47.5. Two games kick off at 7:00 ET with Rutgers hosting Howard and Navy taking on UAB. The Rutgers game could get out of hand fast, as the team needs to win the game by seven touchdowns and extra points in order to cover the spread. This has the highest total of any game on the board tomorrow at 56.5. Navy goes on the road to face UAB and is a -7 road favorite, but we should expect decent action in this one with a total of 51.5. The final two games of the night could be fun ones. Indiana takes on Northwestern at 8:00 ET and is listed as a -21 point favorite. Offense might be a bit hard to come by for Northwestern with a total of 49.5. The final game of the night comes between Clemson and California. Clemson is listed as a -1.5 favorite on the road, and the game has a total of 50.5. With five games, there are plenty of options for you to invest in and get double your winnings with Caesars Sportsbook. Using promo code FOXNEWSDYW, you can wager $1 and earn ten bets with double your winnings. Noon Window (12:00 PM ET)Early Afternoon Window (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET)Mid-Afternoon Window (3:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET)Late Afternoon / Evening Window (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET)Prime Time Window (7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET)Late Night Window (9:00 PM ET and later)

Two games stand out on tonight’s college football card more than others, and we are given a great offer from FanDuel to make these even more exciting. New users can use FanDuel and get $250 in Bonus Bets to wager on Clemson vs. Cal and other games tonight. If this was a boxing match, the main event would be Clemson vs. Cal. This isn’t quite a heavyweight battle, but it should be a decent matchup between two ACC teams. The books have hung the line between a pick’em and -1.5, depending on where you’re looking. Clemson fans have to hope they can get the running game going, because their quarterback play has been rather inconsistent to this point. Cal fans want to see the ball flying through the air because they’ve already gotten seven touchdown passes out of Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele. The undercard of this slate has some good matchups as well. We have Northwestern vs. Indiana as another one of the great games to watch. Northwestern is off to a nice start, but facing Indiana in their home stadium is going to be a difficult task. Aidan Chiles has looked good in two games, completing 31 of 46 passes with four touchdowns. If we are praising quarterbacks, most of it should go to Justin Hoover, who is 37-for-51, and over 25% of them have gone for touchdowns. 10 touchdowns in three games is impressive work from Hoover. There are still other games worth watching, like Army vs. Temple, or Navy vs. UAB. No matter which game you choose, FanDuel is offering new users a chance to bet $5 or more and earn a $50 bonus bet token. You can repeat that for five days and earn a total of $250 in bonus bets.  

South Dakota Senate candidate Brian Bengs stepped in after a man called out Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn over leaked audio. (C-SPAN)
A MAGA patriot from Nebraska walked up to a D.C. press conference Thursday and did what the corporate media will not: he called out supposed “independent” Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn to his face for privately trashing rural Trump voters.
Osborn and Bengs were in town for the so-called Independent National Convention, standing outside the Capitol and telling reporters they were running “outside of the corrupt two-party system.”
What followed was not a calm policy discussion. South Dakota Senate candidate Brian Bengs, the former Democrat now running as an Independent against Sen. Mike Rounds, left the podium, pointed, and got into a verbal altercation with the man before the two were separated.
“You’re lying. Dan, you’re a Democrat. How much money did you pay to your mom or your wife?” the man shouted.
Bengs tried to shut the patriot down. It did not work.

Bengs: I don’t think this is an appropriate time to have that question, but that is exactly the problem. Because he wants to call us something we’re not.
[…]
MAGA Man: He is a liar… How about the foul language? What about the f***ers? … I would like a truthful answer for a change.
[…]
MAGA Man: Does he represent you?
Bengs: No, I am a United States candidate for the Senate.
MAGA Man: Okay, you’re not from Nebraska. Get out of the way then. Get out of the way.
Bengs: This is the problem. This is it. The civility of politics is not here because there’s name-calling.
Osborn: Yeah, that’s, that’s why we’re independents.
MAGA Man: You call us f***ers, Dan.
Osborn: No, I don’t.
MAGA Man: Yeah, you did. I heard it… from your mouth.

Osborn’s response was vintage. He denied denigrating Nebraskans but did not deny the swearing. “I cuss. I’m a sailor. What can I say?” He then pivoted to the usual talking point that “everybody’s angry” and his family is “treading water.”

The man cited the now-infamous leaked audio of Osborn sneering at the people he needs to win Nebraska:

“Billy Bob in f**king Red Cloud, Nebraska, who lives next door to the f**king Trump store as you pull into town and is waving the Trump flag, all he knows is he’s on the winning team. It’s really that simple.”

Osborn went on to say Trump is effective because he tells “Billy Bob and his wife Mary Jane or Mary Jo” they’re on the winning team, “and that’s all they care about, because their lives probably suck so f**king bad.”
The Gateway Pundit first reported that tape last week. As Cullen Linebarger wrote, the so-called blue-collar independent was caught on a hot mic revealing exactly what he thinks about rural Trump voters.
Days later, Mike LaChance documented another recording in which Osborn admitted he would hide his real views on LGBTQ and immigration issues to get elected, then “everybody else can f-off” for six years.
On CNN last week, Osborn had already conceded the voice “sure sounds like me.” He offered a non-apology to anyone who might be offended while insisting he “feels their pain.”
Sen. Pete Ricketts, the Republican Osborn is trying to unseat, put it plainly: the people Osborn mocked as “Billy Bob” and “Mary Jane” whose lives “suck so f—— bad” are the hardest-working people in America.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Bengs’ campaign released a damage-control statement following his meltdown, saying he was standing up to a “paid protester.”

“Brian stood up to a paid-agitator who was screaming profanities and encroaching on the personal space of campaign staff. Washington politicians send them to events because they’re scared of the Independent movement and want to distract from the issues people care about because they prefer the status quo.
“Brian was in D.C. calling on Mike Rounds, GOP lead of the Senate AI caucus, to stay in town and address the pressing concerns over the technologies unchecked growth and AI data centers littering our lands. Brian is running to retire Mike Rounds, whose campaign checks come from AI special interests.”

Yen Jumps As Japan PM Admits Weak Currency “Problematic”

President Trump reportedly expressed concern over the weakness of the yen when he met Japan’s prime minister this week as the currency came under more pressure against the dollar.

The FT reports that Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama Satsuki Katayama told reporters in Tokyo that Trump and Sanae Takaichi discussed the yen in talks in New York on Tuesday.

The US president “expressed his concern” while Takaichi told Trump that she saw an undervalued yen as “problematic”, Katayama said.

The yen jumped around 1% against the dollar following the remarks – its best day in two weeks…

The finance minister also said she would continue to coordinate with her US counterpart Scott Bessent, reinforcing the signal that both governments are paying close attention to the currency’s depreciation.

“In light of [the Trump-Takaichi] meeting, Treasury secretary Bessent and I will continue to communicate closely on a range of matters, including foreign exchange,” Katayama added.

Last week, the BoJ raised rates to the highest level in 31 years, but the move did little to structurally strengthen the yen, even as the central bank’s governor Kazuo Ueda hinted strongly that there could be further tightening this year.

Options sentiment toward the yen turned more bullish lately, reflecting increased hedging demand against the risk of Japanese intervention.

“Intervention risk should put a ceiling on further yen weakness,” said Moh Siong Sim, a strategist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp.

“More importantly, the yen may be nearing a turning point as Trump’s concerns over its weakness point to deeper US-Japan coordination to support the currency.”

Japan and the US carried out their first coordinated yen-buying intervention since 1998 this summer after the currency weakened beyond 160. Japan spent a record ¥15.4 trillion ($97.4 billion) intervening in the month through Aug. 26, according to Finance Ministry data.

“This is largely another way of jawboning in my view,” said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo Markets.

“Unless it is followed by actual policy coordination, intervention or a clearer BOJ tightening path, I don’t think it changes the underlying yen story materially”

Bessent has also continued to signal support for a stronger yen, potentially giving Japanese warnings greater weight with traders than in previous episodes of currency weakness.

Friday night brings us one of the better games on the college card for Week 4, and Fanatics brings new bettors a great way to get involved. With code FOXNEWS350, Fanatics is offering new users $350 in bonus bets to use after placing a wager on Clemson vs. California. Everyone knows the key to almost any football team is the play of the quarterback. Let’s take a minute to examine the quarterbacks in this one and see how they stack up. For Clemson, they will run out Tait Reynolds. He has gone 40-for-62 this season, completing 64.5% of his passes, but has only thrown for one touchdown and one interception this season. He has also been sacked eight times. He took over during the LSU game and hasn’t looked back. However, he still has a lot of room for improvement. Over on the other side of the field, Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele commands the offense. For the season, he has thrown 108 times this year with 72 completions for a 66.7% completion percentage. So far, he has found receivers for seven touchdowns and two interceptions. In the first game against UCLA, he struggled, completing just 58.5% of passes and matching his two touchdowns with two interceptions. His line seems to be doing a decent job of protecting him, as he has only suffered three sacks. He doesn’t really look to run the ball, accumulating -21 yards on six carries this year. This should be a good battle between two solid quarterbacks with a lot of hope to push their team to 3-1. Picking which quarterback will perform well will be tough. However, picking the Fanatics promotion is a no-brainer. New users can use promo code FOXNEWS350 to earn $350 in bonus bets for tonight’s game. Key Three for Clemson vs. CaliforniaQuarterbackRunning BackWide Receiver 

College football is treating us tonight to five different games, and if we play our cards right, we can watch games all afternoon and all night long, leading right into tomorrow’s full slate. One card we can certainly play correctly is by taking advantage of Dabble’s promo code FOXNEWS350 to play $5 and get $50 on the college football matchups.The ideal football-watching scenario is here for Friday. A lot of people end their days early on Friday or are able to take summer hours. If you fall into that category, or maybe want to reserve an office room and throw it on a big screen, you can start watching Army and Temple at 4:00 ET. That is listed as one of the closer games tonight.As that game is ending, you’ll have time for a quick snack before you flip on Howard at Rutgers at 7:00 ET. If that game turns into a blowout, as the books are expecting, you can flip on Navy and UAB which starts at the same time.From there, we get two nice primetime matchups as Northwestern takes on Indiana at 8:00 ET. Indiana should win the game, but Northwestern could make it interesting. The final game of the night kicks off at 10:30 ET with Clemson taking on California. This is listed essentially as a pickup but does have California as a slight favorite. No matter which game you choose, the simple choice is to take advantage of Dabble’s offer to play $5 and earn $50 in bonus bets using promo code FOXNEWS350. Noon Window (12:00 PM ET)Early Afternoon Window (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET)Mid-Afternoon Window (3:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET)Late Afternoon / Evening Window (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET)Prime Time Window (7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET)Late Night Window (9:00 PM ET and later)

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson ripped her colleagues for fast-tracking cases on the high court’s emergency docket, saying “it has been noticeably less restrained, especially with respect to pending cases that involve controversial matters.”The emergency docket, sometimes known as the shadow or interim docket, allows parties to ask the Supreme Court to quickly intervene in lawsuits and temporarily pause lower court rulings. The process can take a couple of days, weeks or months, and is viewed as a much speedier, although temporary, way to secure court relief than when the court fully considers the merits of a case, which can include a long briefing schedule and oral arguments.”Why is it that one party should get a fast pass to the Supreme Court of the United States, when so many other parties are queued up, waiting patiently for the court’s attention?” Jackson said Thursday during a speech at the University of the District of Columbia’s law school, according to The Hill.”If we’re not careful, the emergency docket can and will become an end run around the standard review process, a special avenue that certain privileged litigants can use selectively,” she added.SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO INTERVENE IN CASE OF SURROGATE MOTHER WHO REFUSED ABORTIONJackson’s speech comes as the Trump administration has submitted 40 emergency applications to the Supreme Court since the start of the president’s second term, The Hill reported.Through the emergency docket, the Supreme Court has greenlit Trump’s mass firings of career employees and high-profile terminations of Democratic appointees. It has curtailed nationwide injunctions and cleared the way for controversial deportations and immigration stops.Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has won about 80% of its appeals on the emergency docket, according to Politico.KAVANAUGH THROWS TRUMP ‘A LIFELINE’ ON MAIL BALLOT RULES DESPITE SUPREME COURT LOSS BEFORE MIDTERMSThe Supreme Court’s majority has often split along ideological lines and offered little reason for its emergency decisions. This differs from final orders from the court, which can be lengthy and include numerous concurring opinions and dissents.Jackson also said Thursday that parties should be required to prove impending harm in cases that cannot wait for full adjudication by the lower courts, as opposed to the Supreme Court granting stay applications based on whether lower courts could have made mistakes, Courthouse News Service reported.”Significant real-world harms can follow Supreme Court stay rulings, and when the court’s orders do not acknowledge that reality, they seem oblivious and ring hollow,” Jackson was quoted as saying. “We cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if, without clear explanation, we are consistently greenlighting harmful acts that do real damage to litigating plaintiffs without a court decision fully and fairly determining the lawfulness of that challenged conduct on the merits.”Fox News Digital’s Ashley Oliver contributed to this report.

Plenty of games await us this evening as college football once again takes center stage on Friday night. Betr is offering new users $200 in bonuses when using promo code FOXNEWS to place on Clemson vs. Cal or any other game tonight. The most competitive game on the slate is likely between Clemson and California. The Clemson Tigers come into the game with a 2-1 record and look to find any way they can to reach the top-25. Last week, Clemson beat North Carolina with a solid 28-20 victory. The California Golden Bears are also trying to move to 3-1 with a win. After dropping their opener to UCLA, they beat Syracuse on the road in a tight contest and demolished Wagner last week. If that game doesn’t interest you, no problem! There are four others on the schedule for this evening. Army and Temple battle each other to start the day, and we get that one nice and early with a 4:00 ET kickoff. This is also expected to be a tight battle with Army being favored by three points on the road. All of these games have fairly high totals, with this one having the lowest on the board at 47.5.Regardless of which game you choose, there is a simple choice with Betr. Any of these Friday night games are an option for you to use promo code FOXNEWS with Betr and enjoy an extra $200 in bonus bets. Noon Window (12:00 PM ET)Early Afternoon Window (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET)Mid-Afternoon Window (3:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET)Late Afternoon / Evening Window (5:00 PM – 7:00 PM ET)Prime Time Window (7:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET)Late Night Window (9:00 PM ET and later)
