The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the NFC East Division rival Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Kickoff Game at Lincoln Financial Field on September 4, the NFL announced.
The Eagles defeated the Cowboys in both of their two annual division matchups during the 2024 NFL regular season by a combined 75-13 margin. The NFL is scheduled to reveal its full 2025 regular season schedule on Wednesday (May 14) on NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app and NFL+.
The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 17 of 22 passing, while also recording 72 yards and one touchdown on 11 rushing attempts to be named Super Bowl MVP.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is coming off a season in which he led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards and became the ninth player in NFL history to record more than 2,000 yards in a single season. The Cowboys finished the 2024 season at 7-10, having lost quarterback Dak Prescott in Week 9 to a season-ending hamstring injury following a 3-4 start.
Pete Alonso wasn’t satisfied just tying for second place on the Mets’ all-time home run list Sunday, so he claimed the spot as his own.
The sizzling first baseman had already homered once to tie David Wright with 242 homers as he approached the plate in the eighth inning at Coors Field.
Two pitches later he was ahead of Wright, with only Darryl Strawberry remaining ahead of him.
“I don’t think that is really going to settle in because we’re still in the middle of the season,” Alonso said after the Mets finished a three-game series sweep with a 13-5 demolition of the Rockies. “Right now, it’s just focus on winning.”
Alonso and Jeff McNeil each blasted two homers on a day the Mets totaled six.
Juan Soto reached base six times, becoming the first Mets player to accomplish that feat in a game since Alonso in 2019.
Alonso was a beast on the seven-game road trip, delivering five home runs and 15 RBIs.
Alonso, with his 23rd career multi-homer game, moved ahead of Strawberry as the all-time Mets leader in that category.
Alonso needs nine homers to match Strawberry at 252 as the leader in franchise history.
The Buss family has agreed to sell the majority ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers to TWG Global CEO and chairman and Los Angeles Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter for a franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion, which would be the largest sale of a professional sports franchise in the world.
The price beats the previous records set during the $6.1 billion sale of the Boston Celtics in 2025 and the $6.05 billion sale of the NFL’s Washington Commanders in 2023. Walter’s purchase of the Dodgers in 2012 as part of the Guggenheim contingency ranks 12th all-time.
Walter has served as a minority stakeholder in the Lakers since 2021 and also has interests in the Los Angeles Sparks, the Billie Jean Cup, Cadillac Formula One team and the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss, the daughter of late former owner Dr. Jerry Buss, will reportedly continue to serve her role as the team’s governor after the completion of the sale.
