The NFL has added another location to its international series.

Melbourne, Australia will be included in its international slate in 2026 at a date and time to be determined later, but will feature the Los Angeles Rams as the designated team against an opponent announced at a later date.

“Expanding to Melbourne, Australia, a beautiful city with a rich sports history, underlines our ambitions to become a global sport and accelerate international growth,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. 

“We’re thrilled the NFL will be touching down in the sporting capital of Australia. Victoria is now the first-ever state in Australia to host a regular season NFL game,” said a government spokesman. “It’s a win for jobs, a win for businesses and a win for fans who will get to see American football.”

Australia is viewed to be a significant global market for the NFL’s international growth with a fan base estimated to be 6.6 million nationwide. The Rams, along with the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, hold marketing rights in Australia as part of the NFL’s Global Markets Program, an initiative that rewards teams with international marketing rights to build brand awareness beyond the United States.

Aaron Boone has signed a two-year contract extension to remain as manager of the New York Yankees, the team announced.

The Yankees exercised their club option on Boone’s contract in November, with the team saying that a longer deal would be discussed once they were finished with offseason business. Now Boone has a new deal that will keep him with the club through the 2027 season.

During the MLB general manager meetings in November, Yankees GM Brian Cashman made it known that he wasn’t looking to make a managerial change in the offseason following the team’s defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

The Yankees have a 603-429 regular season record and six postseason appearances in seven seasons under Boone.

A 15.1-carat fancy vivid blue diamond is projected to be auctioned for a whopping $48 million — the highest estimate ever for a blue diamond.

The gemstone — known as the De Beers Cullinan Blue — will be the largest fancy vivid blue diamond to appear in an auction when it is offered up at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. 

The jewel was first discovered in April 2021 at the South African Cullinan mine, which, according to Sotheby’s, is one of the very few places in the world to discover rare blue gems.

“Blue diamonds of any kind are rare on the market, but this is the rarest of the rare; nothing of remotely similar caliber has appeared at auction in recent years,” said Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia Patti Wong.

The chunk of stone was originally cut from a 39.34-carat rough piece from the mine, which was purchased from De Beers in 2008.

The mine is also the source of the largest rough gem diamond ever discovered. In 1905, the hefty 3,106 carat rock was cut to create two of the British Crown Jewels.

The Jets made official what was already widely anticipated. QB Aaron Rodgers will not return for the 2025 season.

“Last week we met with Aaron and shared that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback,” said head coach Aaron Glenn.  

“I personally want to thank Aaron for his time at the New York Jets,” owner Woody Johnson said in a statement. “His arrival in 2023 was met with unbridled excitement and I will forever be grateful that he chose to join us to continue his Hall of Fame career. I wish him only the best in whatever he chooses to do next.”

After tearing his Achilles in the 2023 season opener against Buffalo, Rodgers returned to the field in 2024, playing all 17 games despite dealing with injuries to his hamstring, knee, and ankle. In his first full year as Gang Green’s starter, Rodgers completed 368 of 584 passes for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. On paper, Rodgers’ numbers were solid, but the Jets went 5-12 as the season quickly unraveled after a 2-3 start.

The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after a dominant performance in a 40-22 win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. 

The win is the first for the quarterback-coaching duo of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in its quest for the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.

A brilliant night from the Eagles’ defense and an efficient, poised night from Hurts headlined Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 225 total yards and forced three turnovers, including a second-quarter Cooper DeJean interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Hurts, who was named Super Bowl MVP, finished the night 17-of-22 for 221 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards — a new Super Bowl record for a quarterback — and a Tush Push rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards, with 57 on the ground on 31 touches.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He’s now 3-3 in six career Super Bowl starts.

Two years later, the Chiefs and Eagles are getting together in the Super Bowl again.

Last time, the Eagles entered the game as 1.5-point favorites for the game played in Arizona. This time, the DraftKings opening line has the Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LIX, to be played in New Orleans.

In Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles seemed to have the better overall team. As we saw at the time, that doesn’t matter when the Chiefs have quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

We’ll find out whether the Chiefs can do it again, giving them the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat — with the bookends coming against Philadelphia.
