Eagles are happy for Nick Sirianni, even though nobody knows details of coach's new contract
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A day after Super Bowl champion coach Nick Sirianni was rewarded by the Eagles with a contract extension, Philadelphia players spoke with reporters on Tuesday for the first time since winning the title and said the deal was well-deserved — even though nobody has disclosed the length or dollar amount.
The Eagles refused to reveal the terms, and even the most inside of insiders didn't have the contract details.
'I'm not going to get into the details of any of that stuff. Sorry, I don't want to,' Sirianni said Tuesday.
Sirianni is 48-20 in four seasons with Philadelphia. He also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in the 2022 season, when they lost to Kansas City. The Eagles rebounded from a 2-2 start to finish the 2024 season on a 16-1 run, including the playoffs and the victorious Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs.
Sirianni, who turns 44 next month, is the first head coach in NFL history to earn four playoff appearances, two conference titles and a Super Bowl in his first four years.
Asked about when he might retire from football, star receiver AJ Brown referenced Sirianni's deal and said, 'I'm done when he's done.'
So, how long is that?
'How long is his extension?' Brown asked.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who started in both Super Bowls for Sirianni, offered his congratulations. Offensive tackle Jordan Maliata recalled the time Sirianni used a flower analogy to illustrate to the team that the foundation is being built and that the roots are growing.
'Think about that time ... when he talked about the flower,' Maliata said. 'Now I just want to give him his flowers. He's done a phenomenal job. A phenomenal job building the culture of this locker room. Was it a multi-year contract? Does anyone know what it was worth?'
If anyone does, they're not saying. White House aftermath
Hurts and Brown were two prominent Eagles who declined President Donald Trump's invitation for the team to celebrate its championship with a White House visit. Saquon Barkley led the bulk of Eagles who made the trip to Washington on April 28.
'I wasn't available,' Hurts said Tuesday. 'I don't think that's pertinent. Everyone who went, and was available, they seemed to enjoy themselves.'
Asked by a reporter on the red carpet of a Time magazine gala — where he was honored as one of the 100 most influential people of 2025 — whether he would visit the White House, Hurts responded with an awkward 'um' and long silence before walking away.
Hurts did find time to attend the Met Gala on May 5.
Brown was also vague about his decision not to meet the president.
'I had a personal reason I was dealing with that day,' Brown said. 'It wasn't about politics, or who's in the office or anything. I just had something personal.'
During his first term, Trump invited the Eagles in 2018 after the franchise's first Super Bowl title. After it became clear most players weren't going to show up, he canceled the event and instead threw his own, brief 'Celebration of America.'

Brett Favre's heartfelt reaction to Vikings legend Jim Marshall's passing
The post Brett Favre's heartfelt reaction to Vikings legend Jim Marshall's passing appeared first on ClutchPoints. Jim Marshall left a massive imprint on the football world, embodying the toughness and ferocity that defined the sport for so many decades. His legacy is especially powerful for those who have represented or rooted for the Minnesota Vikings. Current and former members of the organization sent their condolences following Marshall's passing on Tuesday. Advertisement Brett Favre, who donned the Purple and Gold for the last two years of his Hall of Fame career, can understand what it means to withstand grueling punishment year after year for the love of the game. He also knows what this man meant to The Gopher State. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback shared some kind words and reflected on No. 70's enduring impact. 'Man, I'll never forget the day I got to meet Jim Marshall — one of the true original Iron Men of the NFL,' Favre posted on X. 'Tough as nails, played 282 consecutive games as a defensive end… in an era when the game was as gritty and raw as it gets. 'Growing up watching guys like Jim, I learned what it meant to show up every single Sunday, no matter what. To have had the chance to shake his hand — and even play in front of him — was a real honor. 'Guys like Jim paved the way. They didn't ask for attention, they earned respect with every snap. I tried to bring that same mindset to the field every week. My condolences go out to him and his family — but he's certainly a legend among legends.' What Jim Marshall gave to the Vikings and their endlessly loyal fans Marshall's 270 consecutive starts rank only behind Favre's 297. The longtime defensive end congratulated the gunslinger in person for breaking his record, for he knows the physical and mental sacrifice required to post such an astonishing attendance record. Though, Marshall did far more than simply show up. Advertisement The No. 44 overall pick in the 1960 NFL Draft played 19 of his 20 seasons with Minnesota (began career with Cleveland Browns) and was a pivotal member of the iconic Purple People Eaters defense, which also consisted of Alan Page, Carl Eller and Gary Larsen. Marshall served a vital role during what is still the greatest era of Vikings football, helping the team reach the Super Bowl four separate times. Unfortunately, the team and community are still waiting for their first Lombardi Trophy. When impatience rises throughout Minneapolis, it is good to revisit or learn about the prosperous 1970s. Jim Marshall, who died at the age of 87 after a lengthy stay in the hospital, is responsible for so many of those memories. Yes, he also produced many chuckles via his infamous 'Wrong Way Run' in 1964, but the two-time Pro Bowl selection helped set the stage for the defensive warriors who have come after him, just as Favre noted. Marshall recorded 130.5 unofficial sacks (was not counted as a stat until 1982) and 29 opponent fumble recoveries in his storied NFL career. More than the numbers he accumulated, however, he breathed life into the Minnesota Vikings. The beloved captain was an inaugural member of the franchise and stayed connected to the team well after his retirement. He inspired Brett Favre and so many others, and by the sound of it, they will do their part to make sure his invaluable contributions are properly recognized moving forward.

Canadian teenager Summer McIntosh sets two world swimming records in three days
Canada's Summer McIntosh celebrates winning the gold medal in the women's 200-meter individual medley at the 2024 Paris Games. McIntosh set a world record in that event Monday night. (Brynn Anderson / Associated Press) On Monday night, Summer McIntosh won the 200-meter individual medley at the 2025 Canadian swimming trials to set her second world record in just three days. She had already achieved one world record at the trials in Victoria. Advertisement McIntosh won the 200-meter individual medley in 2 minutes, 5.7 seconds. The previous world record of 2:06.12, set by Hungary's Katinka Hosszú, had stood for 10 years. After shaving a second off her previous best time on the backstroke leg, McIntosh was still a tenth of a second off Hosszú's previous record pace at the final turn. But McIntosh crushed the freestyle leg in 29.65 seconds, another personal best, to finish in world-record time. 'It's been one of those records that's always been in the back of my mind since trials two years ago,' the 18-year-old Toronto native said afterward. "I've been knocking on the door on this one. I've just tried to chip away, chip away at it. To finally do it, it's kind of like 'Wow, I've finally got that done.''

She first set the mark with 3:56.18 in 2023, but was bested the same year by Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus' 3:55.38. But on Saturday, McIntosh was back on top of the world after swimming a 3:54.18. 'That last 100, I'm usually really, really hurting. But I flipped at the 200, and I was just cruising," McIntosh said. "I knew I was having a strong swim and I could tell by the crowd and the way they were cheering that I was probably close to the world record, so I really tried to push that last part for them.' In between those two historic swims, McIntosh also improved on her Canadian record in the 800 freestyle, with a time of 8:05.07. U.S. swimming star Katie Ledecky holds the world record in that event after finishing in 8:04.12 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., last month. McIntosh won four medals at the Paris Olympics last year — three golds (200 butterfly, 200 and 400 IM) and one silver (400 freestyle). She holds the world record in the 400 IM; she swam it in 4:24.38 at last year's Canadian swimming finals. Advertisement With three more days of competition, is there a chance she'll grab a fourth world record before the event is over? Maybe. The 400 IM is scheduled for Wednesday.

DK Metcalf Turning Heads During First Day of Steelers Practice
DK Metcalf Turning Heads During First Day of Steelers Practice originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One of the biggest moves the Pittsburgh Steelers made this offseason was trading for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and then signing him to a four-year, $132 million contract with $60 million guaranteed. Advertisement After six years with the Seahawks, accumulating 438 receptions, 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns on 726 targets, there's hope he can come in and be a big boost to the team's offense in 2025. Of course, after they also signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year, $13.6 million deal and traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys, it's sure to be an interesting season. Now, though, it's time to get to work, and on Tuesday, the team posted a video of Metcalf at Pittsburgh's mandatory minicamp, which was also the first time he'd suited up for them after skipping OTAs (May 27 to June 5) The video has quickly caught the attention of many Steelers fans, who have been revealing both their high hopes for the upcoming season and their excitement to see the new wide receiver in action. Advertisement "They might actually win something this year," one said. "DK Metcalf is really a steeler. Who has it better than us?" Another said. "We're going to the Super Bowl," a third added. "Perfect throw perfect catch woooof LFG," a fourth said. 'DK's not a hands catcher,' they said. Interesting," a fifth continued. "WE ARE BACK LIKE WE BEVER BEEN BACK," another said.

Pavely-Imagn Images However, it will remain to be seen how great the Steelers really do, as ESPN BET currently ties them for the 17th-best odds to win the Super Bowl (+5000) and the third-best to win the AFC North (+500).
