Former teammate Alex Boone isn’t taking any more hits for embattled San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepeick. The offensive guard suited up for five seasons alongside Kaepeick, blocking as defenders tried to get Kaepeick off his feet. Now, Kaepeick is voluntarily taking a seat, choosing to sit during the playing of The Star-Spangled Baer to protest perceived racial injustice. It may be a good thing that Boone, now with the Miesota Vikings, is no longer wearing the same jersey as Kaepeick. “We probably would have had a problem on the sideline,” Boone told ESPN. Boone’s brother J.J. was a Marine and served in Iraq, making Boone one of several current or former NFL players, many with mi...

Former NFL tight end Ben Utecht caught one pass from superstar quarterback Peyton Maing the night of Feb. 4, 2007, helping the Indianapolis Colts win Super Bowl XLI. But that’s not the memory he most wants to retain. Or the life experience he most wants to share. Utecht, who sustained five documented concussions during his five-year NFL career with the Colts and Cinciati Bengals, said Sunday on “Fox & Friends” that he’s already experienced some long-term memory problems since he last took the field in 2008. That reality led him to write the autobiographical “Counting the Days While My Mind Slips Away: A Love Letter to My Family.” “That was the foundation of writing the book; was ...

The 23-year-old black man whose killing Saturday by a Milwaukee police officer sparked protests and violence was charged just last year with pressuring a victim not to testify against him in a retaliation shooting, criminal complaints show. The complaints obtained by FoxNews.com describe how Sylville K. Smith, while jailed in the July 2014 shooting, enlisted his girlfriend to tell the victim to sign a letter recanting his story, commanding her by phone to “stay on dude” and to “call [expletive] and tell him to fill out that form!” The victim eventually did recant his story, and both the shooting case and the witness intimidation case were dismissed later in 2015.

(AP) The NFL denied the Dallas Cowboys’ request to wear a decal on their helmets during the season that would have paid tribute to the five police officers killed last month in an ambush. The team had been wearing a decal with the words “Arm in Arm” since the first day of training camp this summer. Dallas police Chief David Brown and Mayor Mike Rawlings paid the team a visit on that day, according to Fox 4 News. The NFL’s strict rules on uniforms forced the league to deny the Cowboys’ request to wear the decal for the upcoming season. Dallas poli...

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File) President Obama on Wednesday cut short the sentences of 214 federal inmates, including 67 life sentences, in what the White House called the largest batch of commutations on a single day in more than a century. Almost all the prisoners were serving time for nonviolent crimes related to cocaine, methamphetamine or other drugs, although a few were charged with firearms violations related to their drug activities. Almost all are men, though they represent a diverse cross-section of America geographically. Obama's push to lessen the burden on nonviolent drug offenders reflects his long-stated view that the U.S. needs to remedy the consequences of decades of ...

Prosecutors dropped the remaining charges Wednesday against three Baltimore police officers awaiting trial in the death of Freddie Gray, ending the case without any convictions. Gray was a 25-year-old black man whose neck was broken while he was handcuffed and shackled but left unrestrained in the back of a police van in April 2015. His death added fuel to the growing Black Lives Matter movement, set off massive protests in the city and led to the worst riots the city had seen in decades. The day started with a pretrial hearing for Officer Garrett Miller -- who had faced assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges. But instead of pretrial motions, Chief Deputy State...

CANBERRA, Australia – An official says a Russian balloonist has claimed a new 11-day round the world record. Support crew member Steve Griffin says Fedor Konyukhov's balloon on Saturday passed directly over the airfield at the Australian town of Northam where he began his jouey on July 12.
