Philadelphia plans to have a Super Bowl victory parade for the Eagles on Friday
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles are planning to celebrate their Super Bowl victory with a parade in the city on Friday, a team official and the city said Monday.
Team President Don Smolenski discussed the parade during an appearance on 94WIP sports radio, though the time and other details were not disclosed. He noted that the threat of severe weather in the region this week — including a potential snowstorm from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday — played a role in picking a date.
'Just watching the weather and we've got some snow coming this week, so we want to be respectful for the city to do what they need to do, Smolenski said. 'And one extra day of planning doesn't hurt. You know what, it's a nice way to kick off the weekend.'
Philadelphia mayor's office confirmed the date later Monday. 'We will release more details soon," it said in a social media post.
Eagles fans came out in droves to celebrate the team's win once the game concluded Sunday night, but police said no major problems or injuries were reported. Police made 10 arrests overall, including six people who were charged with assaulting officers.
City crews were still working late Monday morning to clear confetti, trash and other debris from some spots downtown area.
The city's celebration following their win in the NFC Championship game last month was marred when a college student fell after climbing a street pole and died from his injuries.
The Eagles were expected to return to Philadelphia late Monday afternoon, and a large contingent of fans was expected to greet them.

Commanders' 'Big Swings' Catapult Franchise To Glory In 2025
Commanders' 'Big Swings' Catapult Franchise To Glory In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders announced their Super Bowl intentions for 2025 with yet another aggressive offseason. Advertisement General manager Adam Peters swung trades for Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil and All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel to give Jayden Daniels two huge upgrades at two key positions. Those moves tell us that it is Super Bowl or bust (of sorts) for Washington, and some have doubts over whether both Samuel and Tunsil can be the players the franchise needs them to be. But what if they are? For CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin, everything comes together perfectly for Washington in 2025 and culminates in a Super Bowl win. "Adam Peters' big swings (i.e. Deebo Samuel, Laremy Tunsil) only serve to highlight Jayden Daniels' infectious magic, and Washington's dynamic quarterback wins the nation's capital its first Super Bowl since 1991," Benjamin writes. Washington Commanders WR Deebo SamuelSergio Estrada-Imagn Images One can only imagine the scenes if Daniels, in his second year, manages to lead this team to ultimate glory. Advertisement And let 's not get it twisted, that is exactly what the franchise wants to get out of 2025. They have mortgaged future draft capital, plus re-signed key veterans in Bobby Wagner and Zach Ertz to have a genuine shot at the Super Bowl, with all chips pushed firmly into the middle of the table. Now the roster has to do it. Terry McLaurin's contract saga is getting a little ugly, but there is hope that things will be worked out before it gets past the point of no return. If the Commanders are to win the Super Bowl, as Benjamin puts as his best-case scenario, they will need McLaurin riding shotgun next to Deebo. Advertisement Washington as 2025 NFL champs?

'Additional Help' Reason For Commanders' Super Bowl Optimism
'Additional Help' Reason For Commanders' Super Bowl Optimism originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Make no mistake about it, the Washington Commanders in 2025 have their eyes firmly on the Lombardi trophy. Advertisement After a 2024 season that saw Jayden Daniels lead the team to a 12-5 record and an NFC Championship appearance in his rookie year, the Commanders' front office pushed all of their chips into the middle of the table. Two trades - Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil were done, to bolster two key positions for Daniels, who will now be the center of attention, to try and not only reach, but win the Super Bowl. A Pro Bowl left tackle and an All-Pro receiver for Pro Football Focus give fans all the optimism in the world that this might be their year. "Daniels playing like an elite quarterback so early in his career has allowed the Commanders to build around him and contend for a championship," Pro Football Focus writes. "This offseason, they added left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who should shore up an offensive line that ranked 22nd in PFF pass-blocking grade last season. They also acquired Deebo Samuel, who posted a solid 72.1 PFF receiving grade in 2024. Advertisement "Rookies Josh Conerly Jr., Jaylin Lane and Jacory Croskey-Merritt should also help the cause as Daniels leads his team into the future." Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuels (L) and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (R) wave to the crowd from courts wide during the game between the Washington Mystics and Atlanta Dream at CareFirst Arena. Geoff Burke-Imagn Images If Samuel and Tunsil play to the levels we have become accustomed to, Daniels continues to ascend, along with the generic improvement from the rest of the roster, there is every chance that 2025 will be rather fruitful for Dan Quinn's team. Granted, in a division that houses the defending Super Bowl champs and a resurgent Dallas Cowboys, the Commanders aren't going to have it all their way. A slight regression from a 12-5 season for most is coming, but with their additions, optimism is high that in 2025, Daniels and the Commanders can go one step further than they did last season.

Cunha, Jesus score in 1st half as Botafogo holds on to beat Sounders 2-1 in Club World Cup
SEATTLE (AP) — Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus scored in the first half and Botafogo beat the Seattle Sounders 2-1 at the Club World Cup on Sunday night. Botafogo opened the scoring 28 minutes into the game as Cunha headed in a pass from Alex Telles. It came after a contentious yellow card to Nouhou Tolo gave the visitors a direct free kick just beyond the corner of the penalty box. Sounders players felt the call was unfair as there had been some unobserved jostling between Tolo and Artur before Tolo shoved his opponent to the ground. Botafogo doubled the lead in the first half's final minutes with another headed goal. Vitinho connected with his 24-year-old star teammate Igor Jesus, who sent a powerful header to the bottom corner. The Sounders played better in the second half, buoyed by their energetic subs. Four minutes after coming into the match, Paul Rothrock provided the assist for Christian Roldan's header in the 75th minute that deflected off Jesus. Key Moment The Sounders had two shots on target in a row in the final 30 seconds of stoppage time to try to tie the score, but the first was well blocked by a defender before John smothered Rothrock's attempt. Takeaways Seattle will now have to try to win points off the perceived titans of Group B, Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to avoid going out in the group stage. Botafogo played good defense to hold onto its lead and is second in Group B on goal difference. What they said 'Obviously, they're a great team, and they put us under pressure in moments, but we matched them. The difference in the first half was just quality and a couple of key moments… I think if you looked at the statistics, you would say that Sounders were in a good spot, but obviously everything is the score line, and we couldn't find that second goal.' — Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer 'The second half, in terms of our defense, it was not good. We didn't take possession and … Seattle scored a goal with some luck, but it was deserved.' — Botafogo head coach Renato Paiva ___ AP soccer:
