On this day in history, Oct. 21, 1797, legendary warship USS Constitution launched in Boston

The mighty USS Constitution, arguably the most famous warship in American history — a testament to dauntless courage at sea in the nation's infancy — was launched in Boston on this day in history, Oct. 21, 1797. The USS Constitution was part of the American fleet that bombarded Tripoli in 1804, a powerful show of force on the global stage of the young nation's naval power. READ ON THE FOX NEWS APPShe remains a commissioned US Navy vessel, still manned by a U.S. Navy crew, making the USS Constitution the oldest warship in the world. The British ship was so badly beaten that Hull scuttled it rather than capture it as a trophy of war. "Today, the USS Constitution occasionally sails through Boston Harbor for special anniversaries and commemorations," writes the National Park Service.

News Analysis: Here's how the 49ers outdid the Rams in trading for Christian McCaffrey

Former Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (22) will see Bobby Wagner (45) and the Rams again, this time as a member of the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers reportedly sent 2023 second-, third- and fourth-round picks and a 2024 fifth-round pick to the Panthers for McCaffrey. In the last few seasons, in the weeks and days before the trade deadline, Snead dealt for edge rusher Dante Fowler (2018), Ramsey (2019) and edge rusher Von Miller (2021). The Rams could use offensive linemen, an edge rusher, a running back and perhaps a safety. McCaffrey will return to SoFi Stadium next Sunday when the 49ers play the Rams for the second time this season.

Is Joel Embiid’s sluggish start a reason for concern in Philly?

Now that we’ve drawn a dark gray cloud on the previously blank canvas of the Sixers’ season, let’s put a silver lining around it. Also: Remember how Embiid led the league in scoring and finished second in MVP voting last season? In Philly, they're just so in tune with everything that's going on with the team, and that's what I love about them. None of it works, though, if Joel Embiid isn’t Joel Embiid. One imagines Philly fans, however blissed out they’re feeling right now, wouldn’t take especially kindly to that.

Barilla Isn’t Really ‘Italy’s #1 Brand of Pasta,’ Says Lawsuit

The pasta company was initially sued by individuals alleging false, misleading and deceptive marketing practices in regards to the labeling of certain Barilla-brand pastas. They also state that since people think pasta from Italy holds “a certain prestige and (are) generally viewed as a higher quality product,” the fact that Barilla pasta doesn’t always come from Italy is deceptive. They say this knowledge would have caused them not to purchase the products had they known their delicious Italian pasta was actually from the plain old United States. These days, the pasta is made in 30 production districts: 15 in Italy and 15 in the rest of the world, according to Barilla. The company also notes where its pasta is made on its website, noting that its Barilla Italy products state “Product of Italy, Distributed by Barilla America, Inc.” on its packaging if it is, in fact, made in Italy.
