Eagles Targeted By Disgruntled Ex-Player's Massive Statement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. It seems CJ Gardner-Johnson is having a hard time letting go of the fact that he was traded by the Philadelphia Eagles. Or, maybe it's the other way around for the Eagles' fan base. Either way, the star NFL safety has not been able to avoid discussing the Eagles since parting ways with the team a few months ago. In the latest version of the CJGJ-Eagles saga, the veteran safety went live on Instagram to chat it up with some fans. Once Gardner-Johnson stumbled across a message that suggested he wouldn't be seeing another Super Bowl again without the Eagles, Gardner-Johnson flipped the script. "That's crazy," the veteran said. "They probably won't see one without me. [Expletive] you talking about. You saw what happened when I left. I'm popping now. [Expletive] you talking about, I'm glad I'm in Texas. They say everything is better in Texas." C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on December 8, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on December 8, 2024 in Philadelphia, takes a trip down memory lane, mentioning his first stint as a member of the Eagles. When Philadelphia acquired Gardner-Johnson from the New Orleans Saints, he was a part of an Eagles team that dominated the NFC, and made a run to Super Bowl LVII. Gardner-Johnson was a critical piece to an Eagles secondary that saw a major jump in progression in 2022. Unfortunately, the defensive unit struggled against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game. Gardner-Johnson and the Eagles lost, then the veteran safety moved to the Detroit Lions in the offseason, via free agency. The Eagles couldn't find the same success in 2023. Despite a hot start to the year, they had one of the most notable regular-season collapses in recent times. By the time the Eagles made it to the Wild Card round in the 2023 NFL Playoffs, they came up short against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gardner-Johnson received attention from the Eagles in free agency the following year. The Eagles signed the veteran safety to a three-year deal. He would collect $10 million guaranteed, and could make up to $27 million over time. For the second time, Gardner-Johnson and the Eagles defense found a lot of success in 2024. The Eagles and the Chiefs met in the Super Bowl for a rematch, and the defense was like night and day. Although the Eagles were dominant on both ends of the field, the defense was a difference-maker and Gardner-Johnson was a part of that. After 16 games with the Eagles, including four postseason matchups in his second stint, Gardner-Johnson was moved to the Houston Texans. Since getting traded at the start of the offseason, Gardner-Johnson has been critical of the Eagles' decision to move him. Now, he believes the Eagles won't be getting back to the big game without his services, mirroring 2023.

Dodgers Offer Clear Stance to Questions on Trump Visit, LA Protests
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of some heated division rivalry matchups, facing the San Francisco Giants after winning their series with the San Diego Padres and with another Padres series looming next. But as the team battles its regional foes, the City of Los Angeles is dealing with some notable turmoil as well. The city has seen a wave of protests against federal immigration raids and some have called on the Dodgers to become more directly supportive as other sports franchises speak out. "Demonstrations against the federal raids have been staged in downtown for more than a week, but the Dodgers have remained silent," Dylan Hernandez wrote in a column for the Los Angeles Times. "Angel City FC and LAFC released statements sympathizing with the residents experiencing 'fear and uncertainty,' but the Dodgers have remained silent." Hernandez pressed the issue with Dodgers official Lon Rosen, who serves as the team's executive vice president and chief marketing officer. But when asked about the ongoing protests, Rosen made the team's stance very clear.

The columnist also asked Rosen if the team regrets celebrating their latest World Series championship at the White House with President Donald Trump, and Rosen doubled down on the team's evasive stance. "We're not going to comment on anything," Rosen told Hernandez. Even as the Dodgers' primary marketing executive makes it clear that the team won't be weighing in on the political controversy, others from within the organization have responded in more detail. Manager Dave Roberts noted that he hopes the games can be a "positive distraction for what people are going through in Los Angeles right now," per Hernandez. And utility player Kike Hernandez recently spoke out directly against the immigration crackdown. "This is my second home, and I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart," Hernandez wrote in an Instagram post. "All people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights." But even as many of the city's residents make their feelings known through ongoing protests, it seems the Dodgers as a franchise won't be offering specific commentary.
