Airline flight delayed for bizarre reason as humanoid robot triggers safety query​

Bebop the robot drew crowds by dancing at the gate before a lithium battery issue grounded it temporarily​

A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed for about an hour recently for a most unusual reason.

A humanoid robot had been brought on board as a passenger. But it couldn't take to the skies right away.

The 75-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling from Oakland, California, to San Diego on Thursday, April 30 — and attracted a crowd at the gate as it danced for everyone before boarding.

"A lot of people came, took videos and had their kids come and give it high-fives," Eily Ben-Abraham, an employee with Elite Event Robotics of Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital. Elite Event Robotics rents out interactive robots for events.

The delay in the flight stemmed from an issue with the robot’s battery — which exceeded airline limits, the company said.

You can limit the players ability to earn a living right after you do the same to the coaches.

Show me one coach who has ever gone on one of their moralizing rants and said other coaches need to be restricted in movement and income.

Just one please.




Sorry Ryan, I know you are probably coming from a good place but coaches don't have the right to a soap box on this while you have Lane Kiffin in your fraternity.

Coyle signs 6-year, $36 million contract to stay with Blue Jackets​

Charlie Coyle signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. It has an average annual value of $6 million.

The 34-year-old center had 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) in 82 games with the Blue Jackets this season, his first with them after being acquired in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on June 27, 2025.

"I've seen what we have," Coyle said. "I've seen our potential and I'm excited for it and it's something I want to be here for and work towards and the team we have, the depth we have, it's something that excites me and something that I want to be a part of going forward, and something that we can build because it's there. I know it's there."

Coyle could have become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

"When you go back to last year when we made the trade for Charlie, we said we were looking for a right-hand shot center and certainly we were happy to make the trade," Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said. "But then having Charlie all this year, getting to know him as a not only as a player, but as a person, we knew that he cares about the team, cares about winning, and cares about the community so when we met at the end of the season and talked to all the players, Charlie was very clear that if there's that opportunity and we can work it out, he'd like to stay."

Nice list, Millwood. Growing up when I did, the Big Three opponents to face (not including ttun) are USC, Oklahoma, and Alabama.

Ohio State’s Rivalry Game vs. Michigan Officially Set for Noon Kickoff on FOX Once Again​

Login to view embedded media
It will be FOX’s ninth straight broadcast of The Game dating back to 2017. FOX has broadcast the Ohio State vs. Michigan game every year except 2020, when The Game was canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak at Michigan, since becoming the Big Ten’s primary television partner in 2017.

The Game routinely draws the largest audience of any game in the entire college football regular season, as it did last year, when 18.4 million people watched the Buckeyes’ 27-9 win over the Wolverines.

In a somewhat more surprising development, the other regular-season game FOX announced it will be airing this year wasn‘t Ohio State’s Big Ten Championship Game rematch with Indiana on Oct. 17 or its home game against Oregon on Nov. 7. Instead, FOX announced it will televise Michigan’s home game against Oklahoma on Sept. 12.

Login to view embedded media
Ohio State plays at Texas on Sept. 12, but that game will likely air at 7:30 p.m. on ABC, which controls the rights to that game as the SEC’s television partner since the Longhorns are the home team.

Assuming FOX used one of its top three picks in this year’s Big Ten TV network draft to secure the rights to Michigan/Oklahoma, that likely means one of the Ohio State/Indiana or Ohio State/Oregon games will air on CBS and NBC. A home night game at the Shoe remains unlikely, however, because NBC has already announced it will air Notre Dame’s Nov. 7 game against Miami in its 7:30 p.m. time slot. As such, Ohio State vs. Oregon appears likely to be a 3:30 p.m. game on CBS, as it would be a surprise if FOX passed up the opportunity to air Buckeyes vs. Hoosiers, a matchup of college football’s last two national champions.

Ohio State vs. Michigan at noon is the first kickoff time to be officially announced for the Buckeyes’ 2026 season. TV networks and kickoff times for the first three weeks of the season are typically announced in May, so those details will likely be set for Ohio State’s non-conference games against Ball State (Sept. 5), Texas (Sept. 12) and Kent State (Sept. 19) later this month.

FOX also made it official on Monday that it will air the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 5. The 2026 Big Ten Championship Game was originally set to air on NBC, but FOX bought the game back last month, reportedly paying between $45-55 million to NBC while also giving NBC the rights to one additional Big Ten game this season.

That’s stupid as hell. If anyone’s leash is getting shortened I’d have to think it’s Bowen’s since his unit is singularly the primary cause of losing our two biggest games.

Maybe I’m dumb for thinking that though so who knows

Bingo. Overall the OL play and recruiting has marginally improved imo...but those games demonstrate we haven't hit on a really elite OL unit in a bit. I get that the two games were against elite defensive fronts, but we need elite OL play and that's the standard.

We played smear the queer too but I remember it more like someone had a ball and everyone chased him, knocked him down, dog piled and whoever got the ball was the queer it repeated over and over.

We played it in the 60s elementary school gym class by having two teams on opposite sides of the gym and trying to nail members of the other team. We used all different sized balls. The bigger softer ones were kinda pointless but God help you if you got blasted in the face by one of the small, harder ones with the dimples it it. Those bastards hurt!

Good times. good times.

Missouri Star Ahmad Hardy Shot and Wounded at Concert in Mississippi​

The running back was an All-American for the Tigers last season.

Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy was shot and wounded early Sunday morning while attending a concert in his native Mississippi, the Tigers said in a statement.

“Ahmad Hardy was the victim of a shooting at a concert in Mississippi early Sunday morning and sustained a gunshot wound,” Missouri said. “Ahmad underwent surgery Sunday and is in stable condition.”

Per the Tigers, a timetable for a return to play—or any football activities—is unknown. ESPN’s Pete Thamel did report that “there’s optimism” that Hardy will eventually return to play.

“Ahmad is deeply loved by his teammates, coaches, friends, family and fans,” the school said. “We will continue to stand beside him and his family through this difficult time, offering our love, prayers, strength and support.”

He originally signed with Louisiana-Monroe, running for 1,351 yards and 14 touchdowns to lead the Sun Belt in 2024. After that season, he transferred to play for Missouri, where he quickly established himself as one of the SEC’s best running backs.

Believe it's been said that one has to get on the court to impress. And the decision is to sit on the pine at a great school, or play more minutes at a lesser school. It's a decision I never had to make ;(....academic rigor at Kent St poses less of a hurdle, and on court competition probably less as well. But is it better to be a big frog in a small pond, or a small frog in the big pond? I'll let you decide, grasshopper.....

This kid was never an Ohio State caliber kid IMO. I coach HS basketball we played them. He was not impressive at all. Was surprised that he even held an offer, let alone be committed at the time. I get wanting to keep kids home, but some of the In-state talent Diebs has gone after is very questionable.
