BREAKING NEWS Alert!

Another county in Nevada has issued an emergency declaration ahead of the “Storm Area 51″ event that’s supposed to happen next month. “There will probably be no water … or ice available, because everything’s going to sell out,” said Jon Koenig, chairman of the Nye County Commission, during a public meeting Wednesday. “There will be no gas left in the gas stations. No food. Nowhere to go potty.” On top of all that, people who show up trying to “see them aliens” will also likely be without cell service. “If you’re coming, be prepared,” Koenig said, “because it’s not going to be nice.” Local authorities have been asking the more than 2 million Facebook users who RSVP’d to the viral “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us” event — now dubbed the “Alienstock Festival” — to stay away, citing reports from county disaster preparation officials. “The information we’re receiving would suggest … we could have overwhelming population surges in various parts of the county,” said emergency ...

SiriusXM host and former NFL quarterback Brady Quinn talks with The Post’s Justin Terranova about Andrew Luck’s retirement, Baker Mayfield’s leadership and the Daniel Jones’ hype train. Q: What was your reaction to Andrew Luck’s retirement? A: Shocked, because you can really see what he’d be capable of with the team built around him right now. Given his age, second in the NFL in TD passes last season, it looked like they were hitting on all cylinders and they only got better in the offseason. Disappointed because he was so talented and he’s a good guy and good leader. As someone who loves the game of football, you love seeing good leaders, good men. He’s probably the greatest prospect to come into the NFL at least in my lifetime. Q: Why do you say that? A: I talked to (former Colts lineman) Joe Reitz on my show, and Day 1, Luck came in right away and was able to instruct the offensive line on different pass protections and so forth. This is like Week 10 and he already knows it co...

Taylor Bertolet kicked two field goals for the game’s only scores, but missed three other attempts in his bid to make New York’s roster as the Jets topped the Philadelphia Eagles 6-0 in a snoozer of a preseason finale Thursday night. The kicking job still appears up for grabs for the Jets (2-2) after a shaky summer from Bertolet, who replaced Chandler Catanzaro — who abruptly retired after the first preseason game. Bertolet was wide right on a 53-yard field-goal attempt early in the first quarter, but made a 23-yarder early in the second. Marcus Cooper’s interception of Eagles rookie Clayton Thorson helped set up the scoring drive. Bertolet was wide left on a 56-yarder just before halftime. His 39-yarder gave the Jets a 6-0 lead with 5:10 left in the third quarter. Bertolet then missed a 49-yarder with 9:40 remaining, and finished 5 for 8 on field-goal attempts in three preseason games and missed two of his four extra-point attempts. Thorson, a fifth-rounder out of Northwestern, p...

An additional gunshot victim from the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting has been located and identified, according to California cops. “The adult male victim sustained a grazing wound to his head that required stitches,” said Gilroy Police officials in a tweet Thursday. “This brings the total number of people struck by gunfire to 20, which includes the 3 victims who lost their lives.” Officials did not offer an explanation as to why it took so long to find and identify the 58-year-old man. The mass shooting, which is being investigated as a domestic terror incident, happened on July 28. Suspected gunman Santino William Legan took his own life after the massacre.

With her opening-match jitters behind her, Coco Gauff was on her way to a rout, bludgeoning Timea Babos early to take a 6-2, 2-0 lead. But she’s only 15, and Gauff got outmuscled in the second set before rising up once again to pull out a difficult third set that just will continue her young legacy. At her age, nothing is likely to come easy in her first U.S. Open, but Gauff handled the mounting pressure with aplomb, outlasting the 26-year-old Babos in the second-round thriller under the lights at a raucous Louis Armstrong Stadium on Thursday for her second straight three-set win, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. The 15-year-old phenom was in rhythm early and steely late, and now the U.S. Open gets a glorious third-round battle between Gauff and defending champion Naomi Osaka. “Let’s Go Coco,’’ the fans chanted deep into the third set as the stadium rocked with noise. In that third set, Gauff blew a break point at 4-3, but then held serve at love to make it 5-4. Gauff dug down to hit terrific angl...

A St. Louis man who’s obviously seen a few things was caught on camera looking completely unphased as an armed thief held up the bar he was drinking in. At one point, the man can be seen lighting up a cigarette — keeping his cool the entire time and refusing to get up from his chair — while the suspect points his heavily-modified pistol at him. He even refuses to give up his cell phone when ordered by the crook. “He just was very adamant about it like, ‘I’m not playing your game,’” said bartender Dustin Krueger, who spoke to KMOV4 and other local outlets on Thursday. Everyone else in the bar during the Wednesday night incident can be seen hitting the deck and looking scared for their lives as the robbery suspect waves his gun at them and takes their belongings. But not the bespectacled “badass,” as some people were describing him on social media . “This is incredible,” wrote one person on Twitter. “Dude has no f–ks left.” Another user said, “That dude has balls of steel or has n...

The Mets spoke of belief, of hope, of perseverance. A silent Citi Field spoke the truth. Counting on their ace to end a season-worst home skid, Jacob deGrom cruised through the majority of Thursday night’s start against the Cubs but ended with his worst line in more than three months as the Mets suffered their sixth straight home loss, 4-1, and fell five games behind Chicago for the second wild-card spot. For the first time in 18 starts, deGrom allowed more than three earned runs, and he surrendered multiple homers for the first time since June 18, with Victor Caratini’s second shot — a tie-breaking, three-run bomb in the seventh inning — handing the Mets their second straight sweep in Queens. DeGrom’s bid for back-to-back Cy Young Awards took a hit. The Mets’ postseason hopes suffered a bigger one. “We still have a chance,” Pete Alonso said prior to the game. “We still have an awesome opportunity in front of us. There’s five weeks left, and that’s still a pretty decent amount of ...

Disney just sold its stake in the New York Yankees’ pay-TV service to a group that includes Amazon. The film and entertainment giant on Thursday sold its 80% interest in the YES Network to an investment group led by the Yankees and Sinclair Broadcast Group. The deal values the TV service, which broadcasts Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games, at $3.47 billion. The new owners of YES also include Amazon and investment firms including RedBird Capital, Blackstone and Mubadala Capital, YES Network said. The Yankees already owned a 20% stake in YES, the country’s most-watched regional sports network in 14 of the past 16 years. YES also owns local TV rights for Major League Soccer’s New York City FC and the WNBA’s New York Liberty. The Post first reported in March that Amazon would be taking part in the YES deal. “This transaction brings the YES Network and all of its popular programming even closer to the organization that inspired its very development,” said Yankees CEO Hal Steinbrenner. ...

Florida residents picked store shelves clean and lined up at gas stations Thursday as Hurricane Dorian barreled toward the state’s east coast — with meteorologists fearing it could become a Category 5 storm by the time it makes landfall Sunday. The storm, currently a Category 1 with 85-mph winds and heavy rains, is expected to grow into a monster over the next two days and at least reach Category 4 — which means gales of more than 130 mph. It would become a Category 5 if wind speeds surpass 157 mph. “With Dorian forecast to pass over extremely warm water of the Gulf Stream, where cooled, up-welled water is rapidly replaced by more warm water, you have to be concerned that a category 5 is on the table before reaching the US coast,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski warned Thursday. Although Dorian is expected to hit Florida, forecasters caution it remains somewhat unpredictable. They haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly where it will hit land, which could be anywhere...

Lonzo Ball wants the last word. In a new mixtape released Thursday, the recently-acquired Pelicans guard said the Lakers will “regret their decision” to ship him off to New Orleans as part of a package for Anthony Davis. In total, Ball goes on to repeat the “regret” line — part of the “Last Days” hook– four times in just 2 minutes and 41 seconds. The quip comes on the project’s first of three tracks, which he says isn’t a rip job. “I’m not dissing anybody I loved my time in LA. I use my music as an outlet to express things that happen in my life,” he tweeted on Thursday . Yet apparent Ball’s scorn was not only reserved for Los Angeles. Later in the song, Ball vented about his former manager Alan Foster, who he fired in March after learning that Foster had allegedly embezzled about $1.5 million from him. Regarding his former manager, Ball says, “Situations in my life will turn a boy to man / You see, I was 19 when I first met Uncle Sam / Put my trust in the wrong person, lost out...

KEELING, Va. — Blake Bivens was inconsolable as the 24-year-old minor league pitcher flew from a road trip back to southern Virginia, where his wife, 1-year-old son and mother-in-law were slain. “It was awful,” said Montgomery Biscuits manager Morgan Ensberg, who traveled with Bivens on Tuesday. “Blake is an incredibly strong man. He’s an incredibly strong man, and he went through just a rotation of tearing up, and then he would shake and then he would just stare. “I didn’t let him out of my sight.” The 18-year-old brother of Bivens’ wife has been charged with first-degree murder in the slayings, which have shocked his coaches, teammates and the community where his family lived. “You don’t wish this on any community, any family,” Pittsylvania County Sheriff Mike Taylor said. “We’re a small community. It affects us all.” Court documents released Thursday revealed new details in the slayings but did not explain what could have driven 18-year-old Matthew Bernard to allegedly kill hi...

Former Mets stars Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo were released from jail on Thursday after a judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence to link them to drug kingpin Cesar Emilio Peralta. Dotel, 45, and Castillo, 43, were charged last week with being members of Peralta’s cocaine and opioid empire, in what Dominican Attorney General Jean Alain Rodriguez said was the largest operation targeting an organized crime ring. But the ex-ballplayers were released from prison Thursday after Judge Jose Alejandro Vargas found insufficient evidence to link them to Peralta, according to various news reports in the Caribbean nation. Dotel was released on $1 million bail and is still facing charges because authorities said they found illegal weapons when they searched his home. Castillo’s attorney, Darren Heitner, could not be reached for comment late Thursday. Last week, Heitner claimed his client was innocent and demanded an apology, telling sports website The Athletic that “Luis Castillo...

The Jets have a giant hole at edge rusher. The Texans are shopping three-time Pro Bowl edge-rusher Jadeveon Clowney. It seems obvious to add 1+1 and get 2, but not necessarily in this case. The Houston Chronicle reported the Jets are one of five teams “known to have spoken with” the Texans about Clowney. But that could simply mean the Texans called the Jets to see if they were interested. Everyone in the NFL knows the Jets have a need at the position. The sense from people inside the Jets is there is not much interest from the team in Clowney. There are many reasons that the trade does not make sense for the Jets. You never rule anything out completely at this time of year, but it does not feel like a match. Start with Clowney’s contract situation. Houston applied the franchise tag to Clowney and he has yet to sign the $16 million tender. The way a franchise tag works is teams are permitted to negotiate a long-term deal with the player until July 15, then there is a moratorium on...

After Kobe Bryant retired from the NBA, he’s has gotten addicted to tennis. That addiction has led to him publishing a book about the sport, and Thursday, he visited the U.S. Open to both hype it and watch young stars Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff. “I played a lot of tennis, and all of a sudden, I found myself addicted to it,” Bryant said. On Tuesday, Bryant’s Granity Studios will publish “Legacy and the Queen,” about 12-year-old orphan Legacy, an “underdog female tennis prodigy” who has to use her talents to save the magical kingdom of Nova. He conceived of the idea three years ago, found author Annie Matthew and has turned out a book that’s gotten raves from Osaka. “Naomi’s been great,” Bryant said amidst a photo-op and tutorial with kids from a local National Junior Tennis & Learning chapter. “We got to hang out quite a bit, and I love everything she’s doing and she’s a big fan of Legacy.” As much as Bryant loves Osaka’s run to world No. 1, he positively gushed over Gauff, a 1...
