‘I’m getting very sick’ – Fans concerned as Colin Cowherd forced to abruptly cut off show with worrying illness

However, Cowherd struggled throughout the show, and eventually said he had to leave the air as he was “getting very sick very fast.”
“Folks, I am going to take a break,” Cowherd said suddenly.
“I am getting very, very sick very, very quickly on the set. We will return.”
Fans were understandably concerned, and shared their worry on X as the show went to a seven-minute commercial break.
“Hoping Colin Cowherd is okay. Was not looking or sounding good before quickly tossing to break,” one fan wrote.
“Now, FS1 has been lengthening the commercial break with promos and it’s been 7 minutes since they were on air,” a second noted.
“Hope he’s ok!!” another fan added.
“Yea been watching him since his ESPN days, is kinda jarring tbh!!” a fourth commented.
“Damn I hope he feels better, looked like he was about to throw up,” a fifth shared.

“He didn’t look so great earlier in the show either,” posted one fan.
When the show eventually came back from a lengthy ad break, co-host Jason McIntyre was in the host’s chair.
McIntyre said Cowherd was feeling under the weather but was OK and relaxing in his dressing room.
The show’s official social media account thankfully confirmed that Cowherd was OK, but that he was done filming for the rest of the day.
“Colin is doing OK,” The Herd shared on X.
“Thank you for your concerns. Colin is under the weather and Jason McIntyre is filling in.”

Senate confirms Zeldin to lead Environmental Protection Agency as Trump vows to cut climate rules
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-controlled Senate on Wednesday confirmed Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, a key role to help President Donald Trump fulfill his pledge to roll back major environmental regulations, including those aimed at slowing climate change and encouraging use of electric vehicles.
The vote was 56-42 in Zeldin’s favor. Three Democrats — Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly of Arizona and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania — supported Zeldin, along with all 53 Republicans.
Zeldin, a former Republican congressman from New York, is a longtime Trump ally and served on Trump’s defense team during his first impeachment. He voted against certifying Trump’s 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.
Zeldin, 44, said during his confirmation hearing that he has a moral responsibility to be a good steward of the environment and pledged to support career staff who have dedicated themselves to the agency’s mission to protect human health and the environment.
Zeldin repeatedly declined to commit to specific policies, however, promising instead not to prejudge outcomes before arriving at EPA. When asked by Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska whether he would roll back programs that promote electric cars — a program Trump has repeatedly criticized — Zeldin stayed vague but acknowledged he has heard Republican complaints.
Trump led efforts to dismantle more than 100 environmental protections during his first term and has promised to do so again, targeting what he falsely labels an electric vehicle “mandate” and “green new scam” approved by Democrats.
Trump, who has called climate change a hoax, has vowed to overturn former President Joe Biden’s biggest climate accomplishments, including tailpipe regulations for vehicles and slashed pollution from power plants fired by coal and natural gas. Trump has already moved to oust career staff at EPA and other agencies, remove scientific advisers and close an office that helps minority communities that disproportionately struggle with polluted air and water.
Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island called Zeldin the wrong man for the job.
“We need an EPA administrator who will take climate change seriously, treat the science honestly and stand up where necessary to the political pressure that will be coming from the White House, where we have a president who actually thinks (climate change) is a hoax, and from the huge fossil fuel forces that propelled him into office with enormous amounts of political money and who now think they own the place,” Whitehouse said in a Senate speech.
Trump is “under the thumb of the fossil fuel industry,” Whitehouse said, adding that the EPA administrator “has to be truthful and factual and support and defend our environment and our safety from climate change.”
He has nothing against Zeldin personally, Whitehouse added, “but the likelihood of him standing against that fossil fuel bulldozer that is coming at him is essentially zero. And in that context, this is very much the wrong guy.”
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Zeldin will return the EPA to its original mission of protecting America’s air, water and land — without “suffocating the economy.”
Barrasso called Zeldin “a lifelong public servant” and a seasoned lawyer with a sharp legal mind and over 20 years of military service.
Zeldin will continue Trump’s “mission to roll back punishing, political regulations” at the EPA, “cut red tape” and oversee “a new wave of creativity and innovation,” Barrasso said.
“For the last four years, the so-called experts at the Environmental Protection Agency went on a reckless regulatory rampage,” Barrasso said, referring to the Biden administration. “They saddled American families and businesses with higher costs and heavy-handed restrictions. They bowed to climate extremism and ignored common sense.”
Zeldin “will right the ship and restore balance at the EPA,” Barrasso said, citing likely actions to repeal Biden-era rules on tailpipe emissions and power plants, along with eliminating federal subsidies for electric vehicles.
The League of Conservation Voters, a national environmental advocacy group, has panned Zeldin’s lifetime environmental record, giving him a 14% score. Like all Republicans at the time, he voted against the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act aimed at boosting renewable energy and manufacturing and fighting climate change.
Zeldin supported a bill to reduce harmful forever chemicals, called PFAS, that would have required the EPA to set limits on substances in drinking water. He also was a leading proponent of the 2020 Great American Outdoors Act, which used oil and gas royalties to help the National Park Service tackle its massive maintenance backlog. He’s also supported local conservation efforts on Long Island.
Zeldin said at his Jan. 16 hearing that he wants to collaborate with the private sector “to promote common-sense, smart regulation that will allow American innovation to continue to lead the world.”
The EPA under his leadership “will prioritize compliance as much as possible,” Zeldin said. “I believe in the rule of law and I want to work with people to ensure they do their part to protect the environment.”

Today, the Senate confirmed former Congressman Lee Zeldin as the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Zeldin’s confirmation comes amidst President Trump’s vow to roll back climate regulations and cut environmental protections.Zeldin, a staunch advocate for deregulation and a critic of climate change science, is expected to lead the EPA in a new direction that aligns with the Trump administration’s pro-business agenda. His confirmation has sparked controversy among environmentalists and lawmakers who fear that his leadership could lead to further dismantling of crucial environmental protections.
President Trump has made it clear that he intends to prioritize economic growth over environmental concerns, and Zeldin’s appointment is seen as a step in that direction. With Zeldin at the helm, the EPA is likely to see a significant shift in its approach to climate change and other environmental issues.
As Zeldin takes the reins at the EPA, it remains to be seen how his leadership will impact the agency’s mission to protect the environment and public health. Environmental advocates and concerned citizens will be closely watching to see how Zeldin’s policies shape the future of environmental protection in the United States.

Trump spending freeze is confusing. But deficit must be cut
President Donald Trump spent his first 10 days back in the White House taking a wrecking ball to the progressive policies that former President Joe Biden and his crew imposed on Americans.
Biden’s team spent four years weaving the threads of progressive values and ideology into every federal agency, from the Defense Department to the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump has undone many of the policies, if not the damage they inflicted, in less than two weeks.
The speed and scope with which Trump has attempted to strip the federal government of excess is extraordinary. There are few, if any, parallels in U.S. history to what Trump is now doing.
The assault on progressive ideology already has had a few misfires. For example, the White House on Monday announced a pause in distributing federal grants and loans. Amid the ensuing chaos, a federal judge blocked Trump’s order.
Then came Wednesday afternoon, when Team Trump appeared to rescind the order, then said it didn’t rescind the actual review of federal spending, only the memo mandating the spending freeze.
Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.
If you’re confused, get in line. It starts way back there.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Trump’s campaign to “end the egregious waste of federal funding” will continue.
On that score, Trump appears to have strong public support. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that more than 60% of U.S. adults support “downsizing the federal government.”
While the spending freeze has dominated the media’s attention this week, Trump also announced a buyout plan to reduce the number of federal employees. In exchange for quitting their jobs, most federal workers can receive eight months of salary.
Businesses commonly use buyout offers to reduce payroll costs, but it’s unusual for government to adopt the tactic. But Trump is seldom conventional.
Opinion:Trump’s gamble with Colombia paid off. I’m glad our president puts America first.
Why is he doing all of this? Remember that the federal deficit hit an unsustainable $1.8 trillion in the last fiscal year with the nation at peace and the overall economy relatively strong.
Trump may be the agent of current chaos, but it’s nothing compared with what’s coming in the years ahead if the nation can’t get its finances in order.
Federal spending is out of control
Trump’s on-and-off spending freeze left Democrats sputtering about the Constitution.
“Congress holds the power of the purse,” said Senate Appropriations Vice Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash. “That is very clear in the Constitution.”
Murray is right, to a degree. It is Congress that has the constitutional authority to allocate money. But the executive branch, with Trump as its newly elected head, also has a big say in how the money is actually spent.
And there are plenty of examples of seriously questionable spending that Congress appropriated and the Biden administration distributed. In his annual Festivus Report last month, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., identified more than $1 trillion in wasteful spending ‒ including expenditures to determine if “lonely rats seek cocaine more than happy rats,” to promote “girl-centered climate action in Brazil” and to teach “Kyrgyzstan youth how to go viral.”
The biggest money waster that Rand called out: the nearly $900 billion that Americans paid for interest on the national debt in 2024.
Opinion:Progressives’ meltdown over Trump’s first actions show exactly why he won
Trump is on the right track − sort of
With more than 3 million workers, the federal government is the largest employer in the United States. American taxpayers cover the salaries and benefits for not only all of those employees but also the massive expenses of the government agencies they manage.
All of it adds up to not only an annual deficit approaching $2 trillion but also a national debt that has topped a mind-boggling $36 trillion.
Something (make that, a lot) has to change, and Trump is the American people’s chosen agent of change.
Keep in mind that, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Trump in his first term outspent Biden. Perhaps he has adopted fiscal discipline as his New Year’s resolution. I hope he has.
He needs to remember, however, that whatever is done by executive order can be undone by executive order. The president must work with Congress to make spending cuts more permanent.
Watching Trump take a sledgehammer to federal spending, instead of a scalpel, is frustrating. It’s a very Trumpian thing to do, but it’s far from ideal.
Dismantling liberal policies and cutting excess spending won’t be pretty to watch. It will be messy and at times chaotic, as we’ve already seen.
Even so, stripping the government of its bloat is bold and necessary, and in time it will help all Americans avoid the fiscal disaster looming in our nation’s future.

The recent announcement of a spending freeze by the Trump administration has left many Americans scratching their heads. With the deficit climbing to record levels, it seems counterintuitive to freeze spending on essential programs and services.While cutting the deficit is a necessary goal, the method in which it is being approached is causing confusion and concern among citizens. Many are worried about the potential impact on vital services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
It is important for the administration to provide more clarity on their plans for cutting the deficit and how they will ensure that essential programs are not compromised. Transparency and communication are key in gaining the support and understanding of the American people.
Ultimately, the deficit must be addressed, but it must be done in a thoughtful and strategic manner that prioritizes the well-being of the country and its citizens. Let’s hope that the Trump administration can provide more clarity and reassurance as they move forward with their spending freeze plans.

Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey misses the cut for NBA Eastern Conference All-Star reserves – NBC Sports Philadelphia
Tyrese Maxey did not make the cut for the NBA’s Eastern Conference All-Star reserves.
After being named to his first All-Star Game last year, Maxey was not among the seven East reserves selected by the NBA’s head coaches. Those players were announced Thursday night as:
- Jaylen Brown
- Cade Cunningham
- Darius Garland
- Tyler Herro
- Damian Lillard
- Evan Mobley
- Pascal Siakam
Maxey’s averaged 27.1 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds. He’s often been the primary star and one of the few reliably available players for the 19-27 Sixers, who have dealt with a deluge of injuries. Nine-time All-Star Paul George has missed 16 games and seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid has missed 33.
“I’m totally biased, but he’s got to be an All-Star,” Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said with a smile after Maxey’s 43-point night Tuesday in the Sixers’ win over the Lakers. “He’s got to be. What is that, 11 straight games with 28 (points) or more? That’s pretty good. If they voted, I say we vote again — if he didn’t make it. Hopefully, he’ll make it. He deserves to make it.”
The scoring streak Nurse mentioned is now at 12 consecutive games following Maxey’s 30-point, eight-assist performance Wednesday in the Sixers’ victory vs. the Kings.
While his shooting percentages have declined from last year, Maxey’s near the top of the NBA in several key categories. He’s officially second in minutes per game (37.9), third in steals per game (1.9) and sixth in scoring average.
After winning the league’s Most Improved Player Award last season, he’s made the progress Nurse hoped to see defensively.
“My defense has been a lot better,” Maxey said Tuesday. “I just needed time to get adjusted to the NBA game, get a little bit stronger. I’m not going to lie, when I was in college and high school, I was a good defender. But when I first came into the league, I had to learn how to play pick-and-roll defense. I had to learn how to play team defense. It’s way different. And then I missed my whole training camp my rookie year, basically (after testing positive for COVID-19).
“So all the principles and all that stuff, I didn’t get it. I had to kind of learn it on the fly, learn it throughout the year. Now, having multiple training camps, being in multiple playoff games, big-time games, I kind of just know the game and know everybody’s tendencies. I sit on the couch every single day starting at 7 (p.m.) and I watch all the basketball games, so I know everybody’s tendencies and that’s helped me.”
Maxey’s stepped into a larger leadership role this season, too.
“From last year to this year, he obviously has a new contract and all that stuff,” KJ Martin said on Dec. 18. “I was happy for him, but he’s stayed the same person inside. That was probably the biggest thing, just him as a person and him using his voice. He’s been using it way more. Everyone sees kind of the nice side of him, but he can turn it on and get on guys.”
This year’s All-Star Game will be on Sunday, Feb. 16 at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Sixers rookie Jared McCain has been named a 2025 Rising Star, though he won’t compete in the event itself because he’s out following season-ending left lateral meniscus surgery.
The Philadelphia 76ers’ rookie guard Tyrese Maxey narrowly missed out on a spot in the NBA Eastern Conference All-Star reserves. Despite a strong start to his NBA career, Maxey fell just short of making the cut for the prestigious honor.Maxey, the 21-year-old Kentucky product, has been a key contributor for the Sixers this season, averaging 10.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. His impressive play has helped Philadelphia maintain their position near the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
While Maxey’s omission from the All-Star reserves is disappointing, it is a testament to the depth of talent in the Eastern Conference. With established stars like Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Zach LaVine securing spots on the roster, Maxey faced stiff competition for a spot in the game.
Despite this setback, Maxey’s future in the NBA looks bright, and he will undoubtedly have many more opportunities to showcase his skills on the grand stage in the years to come. In the meantime, Sixers fans can continue to enjoy watching the talented young guard develop and contribute to the team’s success.

Cowboys predicted to cut ties with $34 million quarterback this offseason
The Dallas Cowboys have hired Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach. Their roster could also experience quite a bit of turnover this offseason to go along with their coaching change.
Both of the Cowboys’ backup quarterbacks will be free agents this offseason. SB Nation’s Matthew Holleran predicted that the Cowboys would not bring back Lance.
“When the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance back in August 2023, the move made little to no sense,” wrote Holleran. “Today, the same thing rings true, and his time in Dallas has almost certainly come to an end. With all Dallas’ other needs to address this offseason, it’s hard to see them allocating even a small amount of cap space to bring back Lance and have him serve as their backup or third-string quarterback.”
Lance has not proven much and could be a rather expensive asset to sit on the bench. He signed a four-year, $34 million. deal as a rookie, but Spotrac projects him to earn just a $2 million deal this offseason. That price point does not seem that bad if Lance were to be the No. 2 quarterback, but to pay $2 million for a third-string quarterback is not the best idea.
“To make a Lance return even more unlikely, Dallas’ long-time backup quarterback, Cooper Rush, is also a free agent this offseason,” wrote Holleran. “Unless a team gives Rush a deal to let him compete for a starting spot, there’s virtually zero chance Dallas would choose to bring Lance back over the veteran. While Rush has not lit the world on fire when he filled in as the starter, he has won some games, and right or wrong, the organization has plenty of faith in his ability to steady the ship if Dak Prescott is to go down again.”
More NFL: Bears predicted to lose $80 million 6-time Pro Bowler to Bills
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly considering cutting ties with their $34 million quarterback this offseason. According to sources within the organization, the Cowboys are looking to move on from their high-priced signal-caller in order to free up salary cap space and potentially pursue other options at the position.This news comes as a shock to many fans, as the quarterback in question has been a mainstay on the team for several years and has put up impressive numbers during his time in Dallas. However, with the team’s recent struggles and the quarterback’s hefty contract, it seems that the Cowboys are ready to make a change.
While no official announcement has been made yet, it’s clear that the Cowboys are exploring all options at the quarterback position and are prepared to make a bold move this offseason. Stay tuned for updates as this situation develops.

A mix of servicing and origination gains drove Pennymac’s financial services unit to a profit that fell short of consensus estimates due largely to one-time negative fair value change.
Net income was roughly $104 million, below a Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ consensus estimate of just over $169 million. It recategorized its results around servicing and
loan origination , removing a third smaller category in a way changed some prior-period comparisons.Revenue totaled $261.12 million, up from a $90.23 million estimate.
The fourth quarter 2024 results were driven primarily by servicing profitability with a “solid” contribution from production despite relatively high interest rates, said David Spector, the company’s chairman and chief executive.
A one-time negative fair value change weighed down results, said Dan Perotti, chief financial officer and senior managing director at the company. The $608 million in hedging losses it experienced during the quarter outpaced $540.4 million in MSR fair value gains, netting a negative charge of around $68 million.
Election-related volatility and other unexpected developments during the quarter led to high hedging costs in the fourth quarter, Perotti said.
“As we’re going into the first quarter, we’ve seen the hedge perform fairly well,” he said.
Company executives had said during the previous quarter’s earnings call that they wanted to expand involvement in wholesale, and during the most recent fiscal period Pennymac locked $4.5 billion in broker-direct loans in addition to $24.9 billion through
the correspondent channel. The company also reported locking $3.7 billion in consumer-director loans.
Pretax production income was $78 million, down from $129.4 million the prior quarter and up from $44.2 million in fourth quarter 2023.
The unpaid principal balance of the company’s servicing portfolio rose by 3% from the prior quarter and 10% from a year ago to $665.8 billion.
Pretax income from servicing was $87.3 million, up from $3.3 million the previous fiscal period but down from $76.6 million a year earlier.
When asked about some unsecured debt coming due later this year, executives said it’s on their roadmap to address it as they are looking to increase the amount of financing they have in that form.
Analysts also asked Pennymac about the recent election-related shift in Washington and its impact, particularly the possibility that the government-sponsored enterprises that currently buy a significant number of loans in the market could
exit conservatorship “We, from day one, have managed this company to a range of outcomes,” said Spector, noting that the company’s real estate investment trust affiliate is active in private markets that could become more prominent due to GSE reform, putting it in a good position to handle such a shift.
Pennymac’s REIT unit also reported earnings on Thursday, recording $31.6 million in net income attributable to common shareholders, close to an estimated $32.41 million. It had
generated $31 million in net income the previous quarter and $42.5 million a year earlier.
Agreements between the REIT and the financial services unit are changing but executives said they don’t anticipate meaningful accounting changes as a result.
Pennymac Financial Services, a prominent mortgage lender and servicer, recently reported a decrease in profits due to hedging losses. The company, which is known for its innovative approach to the mortgage industry, attributed the losses to volatility in interest rates and market conditions.Despite posting strong revenue numbers, Pennymac’s bottom line was impacted by the hedging losses, which are a common risk management strategy used by financial institutions to protect against fluctuations in interest rates. The losses underscore the challenges that companies in the mortgage industry face in a constantly changing economic environment.
Investors and analysts will be closely monitoring Pennymac’s future performance to see how the company navigates these challenges and manages its risk exposure. Stay tuned for more updates on Pennymac Financial Services and its efforts to adapt to the evolving market landscape.
