Eagles' Dallas Goedert on 'tush push' staying in NFL: 'They're just not as successful'
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Dallas Goedert won't have to abandon his spot behind Jalen Hurts during the Philadelphia Eagles' signature "tush push" play. NFL owners reportedly got into a heated exchange last month while arguing about a potential ban on the play the Eagles have figured out to perform better than any other team in the league. The Green Bay Packers proposed to ban the tush push, and ESPN reported Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made an "impassioned speech" defending his team's short-yardage play call. In the end, the tush push, or "brotherly shove," remained in place as NFL owners rejected the Packers' rule change proposal. Goedert couldn't be happier. "It's a great football play," Goedert told Fox News Digital with a big smile at Tight End University on Tuesday. "In my opinion, third-and-one is the hardest play. If somebody runs through a gap and makes a play in the backfield, then your drive's over. We like to say that everything's first-and-nine for us. If we can get nine yards, we believe we're going to get the first down." The argument for those in favor of the famous Eagles play was that any team in the league could figure it out. The formation is on tape, and everything is legal. Philadelphia just performs it at a higher rate than anyone else, even the Buffalo Bills, who do their own with Josh Allen. Goedert, who stands right behind Hurts and shoves his backside when the ball is snapped, said it's something the offense works tirelessly on. "We work really hard at it. Our offensive line, there's drills for it," he explained. "Pulling low and pulling the grass [up]. It's not like we're the only team that can do it. They can do it. They're just not as successful." In the spirit of "TEU," Goedert had a good retort to those who still oppose the play today. "To get rid of something people are good at, I'm going to have them stop throwing the ball to Travis [Kelce] because he's too good at catching it," he said, jokingly. While he won't be practicing the tush push until Eagles training camp, Goedert got his reps in alongside 80 of his fellow NFL tight ends at Vanderbilt University, as the fifth edition of TEU took place at the SEC institution. In fact, George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers star who co-founded the three-day work summit alongside Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen, used Goedert during his team meeting on Tuesday morning to explain the standard of what a great tight end in the NFL is. "It feels really good. Early on, George would only show his film, which is understandable," Goedert said with a laugh. "Now that he's expanded to other people, we all love watching each other. We all love watching the target tapes and see people. It's really cool to be that standard and know that the best in the business see your tape and are grateful for what you're doing for the position." As Goedert hopes to continue growing the position, he also hopes to keep pushing his quarterback to first downs, and better yet, touchdowns as the tush push won't be filed away for at least another season.

Cooper Flagg is the prize player as the Mavericks hold the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft
NEW YORK (AP) — Cooper Flagg lived up to every expectation during one season at Duke and has the potential for NBA superstardom. That's why Mavericks fans can't wait to get him to Dallas. The Mavericks are expected to take Flagg with the No. 1 pick in the draft on Wednesday night, quickly adding another franchise-altering player after trading one away last season. The Mavericks fell into the lottery after dealing Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February, though they had only a 1.8% chance of winning it. When they did, it gave them the opportunity to add an 18-year-old who was college basketball's best player in 2024-25. Flagg averaged 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds and led Duke to the Final Four. The 6-foot-8 forward topped the Blue Devils in all five major statistical categories and already has proven he has a game that will more than hold up against the pros when he played well last summer during an invite to the U.S. Olympic team's training camp. If Flagg is the choice, it will end two straight years when an American college player was not the No. 1 pick in the draft, the first time that had happened. The San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama in 2023 and the Atlanta Hawks took another French player, Zaccherie Risacher, last season. The Spurs have the No. 2 pick this year. Then it's Philadelphia, Charlotte and Utah. ___ AP NBA:

California Schools Risk DC Funding Cuts on Transgender Athlete Debate
Public school funding in California is at risk after the US Education Department found that the state is violating rules protecting female athletes from unfair competition and unsafe situations 'by allowing males in girls' sports and intimate spaces.'
