Jake Tapper claims Trump is 'not transparent' about health issues amid Biden fiasco
CNN anchor Jake Tapper's Original Sin, his bombshell political exposé co-authored with Axios's Alex Thompson, is facing heat for being a glaring double standard. Spending years downplaying President Joe Biden's health concerns, only to now call for transparency from Donald Trump. The book, which hit shelves Tuesday, has stirred up Washington with its detailed depiction of Biden's rapid physical and mental decline in office. Former ESPN NFL reporter Ed Werder mocked Tapper, posting, 'He sold his credibility as a journalist for access to power - and now expects to profit from the very audience to whom he lied.'

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville didn't mince words. 'And I was saying this since 2022, alright?' Carville told Fox News. 'I think it was a big mistake for him to say he was running for reelection. And I've said it at the time and I will say it now, and I will say it a thousand times.' 'It's not a job for 80-year-olds,' Carville added, noting Biden would have been 86 by the end of a second term. 'I don't know if it's his staff, or if it's the family or who it is, but whatever it was it was just a colossal mistake... I think it cost us the presidency.'

ESPN Legend Chris Berman Makes Decision on His Future
ESPN's status as the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" came after years of hard work and perseverance. The network began in a small Connecticut town, and has grown into a global empire with a presence on nearly every corner of the Earth. ESPN is synonymous with sports, and Chris Berman is synonymous with ESPN. The legendary sportscaster has been with the network since its inaugural year in 1979, appearing as a familiar face to several generations of viewers. Advertisement From his weekly look into the NFL to the iconic calls at the Home Run Derby, few names have been attached to sports media history like Berman's has to ESPN. On Monday, ESPN announced that Berman would be back with the network on a new contract, signing a deal to become the first ESPN employee to celebrate their 50th anniversary. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared a video with several photos of Berman throughout the years, celebrating his upcoming anniversary with the network. "Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined turning 70 and still being here at our network, which long ago became an icon of sports broadcasting," Berman said in a statement released through ESPN. Advertisement "We're closing in on our very first Super Bowl, and now I will be able to be part of that, too." Berman's extension will carry through 2029, and ESPN will broadcast the Super Bowl for the first time on February 14, 2027. It will mark the 45th Super Bowl Berman has worked in some capacity for ESPN, including hosting three pregame shows for ABC's coverage in the early to mid-2000s.

Jacksonville Jaguars drop Gabe Davis, bet on Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr
Jacksonville Jaguars drop Gabe Davis, bet on Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Gabe Davis per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Signed to a three-year, $39 million deal in 2024, Davis struggled to mesh with Trevor Lawrence's offense, battling a season-ending torn meniscus and posting just 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. Davis with two years remaining on his contract, including a fully guaranteed $11M in 2025. What appears to be a June 1st designation, will split the dead cap for the Jaguars at $5.7M for 2025 and $14.6M for 2026 per Michael Ginnit at Spotrac. Head coach Liam Coen is now banking on their youthful receiving corps, led by standout Brian Thomas Jr., who emerged as Lawrence's main target with 55 receptions in 2024. Christian Kirk, despite his own injury setbacks, remains a steady slot presence with 63 catches last season. Adding to the mix is 2025 first-round pick Travis Hunter, the dynamic Heisman winner whose versatility as a receiver and defensive back should electrify the offense. This trio offers Jacksonville a cost-effective, high-upside core, rendering Davis expendable. At 26, Davis' 16.7 yards per catch career average should attract suitors, but for the Jaguars, this move prioritizes a new era of explosive playmakers.

Deion Sanders fires off cryptic message after son's NFL Draft fiasco
Deion Sanders has yet to fully share his opinions on his son Shedeur's slide in the draft from being a projected first-round pick to the eventual fifth-round pick he was. On Monday, the drama around the Cleveland Browns draft pick began to subside slightly, and the Pro Football Hall of Famer fired off a cryptic social media post on X. "A lie don't care who tells it or repeats it. Its goal is to be heard. The truth could be standing right in front of u consistently for years but u don't see it because a lie is in your mind," he wrote. "The Truth may not be as popular as a lie but the Truth wins in the end." Sanders did not elaborate further, and it was not exactly clear what he meant by "a lie." The theories over why Sanders fell to the first round ranged from teams not liking him because he is a "strong Black man" to "Kaepernick-like collusion" from teams. At least two NFL players chimed in with what they believed was a message from teams to Sanders. ESPN NFL analyst Damien Woody gave a simple reason as to why Sanders slid on "Get Up." "I think the NFL sent a message, saying you're not that dude. Honestly. The overwhelming message I saw when Shedeur slid to the fifth round, the NFL was basically saying you're not that guy. You're good but you're not that guy," the two-time Super Bowl champion said. "I'm here to tell everyone out there, everyone who watches the NFL Draft, who loves the NFL, trust me when I tell you this, if you're that guy, they're gonna pick you in the first round because the NFL and all these teams are in the winning business. If you can help a team win, they are going to pick you. "The NFL clearly felt that Shedeur Sanders was a good prospect, but he wasn't what the young people call, he wasn't him. And then, on top of that, you factor in all the celebrity and everything that comes with Shedeur Sanders. … And I'm not the one that's downplaying. It's the NFL who ultimately said, you know what, when you combine that fact that we don't think you are him, and you have all this celebrity and everything that comes with you, that is the ultimate recipe for why you found yourself in the fifth round." Former No. 2 overall pick Robert Griffin III also weighed in. "Shedeur Sanders should not have dropped out of the first three rounds of the NFL draft. He dropped out of the first three rounds of the NFL Draft because it's 100% personal," Griffin said, via Awful Announcing. "NFL GMs, scouts, and the NFL at large are trying to teach Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders a lesson. "A lesson that they didn't teach the Mannings when Eli said he wasn't going to play in San Diego, a lesson that they did not teach Andrew Luck and his family when he was the perennial No. 1 draft pick from the time he was a freshman in college, a lesson that they did not teach Baker Mayfield when he came out of Oklahoma, and a message that they did not teach Joe Burrow when he came out of LSU. So what do I mean by all of that? What I mean is that all of these guys had the confidence, many of them had the bravado that is similar to what Shedeur Sanders has. But none of them were punished in the way he's been punished." Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
