Dallas City Council Approves 12-Year Lease Extension For Southwest Airlines At Love Field
The Dallas City Council has approved a lease extension for Southwest Airlines to operate 18 gates at Dallas Love Field through September 2040, extending the carrier's presence at its historic home base by 12 years. The move addresses anticipated passenger growth and secures long-term operational stability for the airport that served over 16 million travelers last year. Southwest's current lease was set to expire in September 2028, but city aviation officials pushed for an early renewal to lock in predictable costs per passenger. The proactive approach comes as Love Field prepares for projected annual enplanements to reach 10 million by late 2026. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson praised the partnership during the council's deliberations. 'I am proud to see Dallas extend its longstanding partnership with Southwest Airlines,' Johnson said, as reported by city officials. 'For over 50 years, Southwest has been the cornerstone of Dallas Love Field Airport and a key economic partner to our city.' Southwest CEO Bob Jordan emphasized the airline's deep roots at Love Field, dating back to its inaugural flight in 1971. 'We applaud the leadership of Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert in helping secure Southwest's long-term future at Dallas Love Field,' Jordan said. The airline executive highlighted Southwest's mission to 'connect People to what matters most in their lives with friendly, reliable, and low-cost air travel.' The extended agreement includes provisions for capital investments aimed at enhancing passenger experience and airport infrastructure. These improvements will help Love Field maintain its status as the busiest medium-hub airport in the United States. Located just seven miles from downtown Dallas, Love Field contributes more than $5.6 billion in annual economic activity to the region. The airport supports approximately 28,000 local jobs and generates $1.7 billion in labor income each year. The facility has earned recognition from industry groups, including ACI-World's Airport Service Quality awards and ACI-NA's MarComCX honors. Still, managing projected growth while maintaining service quality remains a key challenge for airport administrators. The lease extension provides Southwest with operational certainty as the carrier continues expanding its network from its original hub. For Dallas, it ensures continued access to affordable air travel options for residents and businesses throughout the metropolitan area.

Indianapolis Colts make three roster moves, bring back familiar face at defensive tackle
The Indianapolis Colts announced a trio of roster moves on Thursday afternoon, including bringing back a familiar face along the defensive line. The Indianapolis Colts claimed defensive tackle Eric Johnson off waivers after he had been released by the New England Patriots. Advertisement Johnson was a fifth-round pick by the Colts in the 2022 NFL draft. He was released during roster cutdowns last August and claimed on waivers at that time by the Patriots, where he spent the 2024 season. Johnson would appear in 11 games on defense and play 178 snaps. During that span, Johnson would record four pressures and had a below-average run defense grade by PFF's metrics. In Johnson's two seasons with the Colts in 2022 and 2023, he played 392 snaps, logging four pressures, while also not grading out well against the run. What other roster moves did the Indianapolis Colts make? Along with adding Johnson to the roster, the Colts waived safety Marcel Dabo. Dabo had been on the Colts' roster the previous three seasons as a designated International Pathway Player (IPP). Advertisement He had played 114 preseason snaps on defense during that span with six tackles and spent those seasons on the practice squad under the IPP exemption. The safety depth remains quite thin for the Colts. Behind Cam Bynum and Nick Cross on the depth chart are Rodney Thomas, Daniel Scott, and potentially Hunter Wohler, if he's not at linebacker. The last move that the Colts made was designating tight end Maximillian Mang as their new IPP. Mang was originally signed recently as an undrafted rookie out of Syracuse, where he was utilized mostly as a blocker. With the IPP roster exemption, the Colts are able to carry 91 players on their roster through training camp rather than the usual 90.

Jessica Simpson makes surprise cameo in Kim Kardashian legal drama All's Fair
The first trailer for Kim Kardashian 's legal drama All's Fair was released on Tuesday and though the SKIMS mogul is the star of the show, an unexpected cameo no doubt will send tongues wagging. Jessica Simpson, 44, made a surprise appearance in the two minute trailer for the upcoming series which comes from an interesting time as she is in the middle of a separation from husband of a decade Eric Johnson. It remains unclear what her role will be, but the newly-single star seemed upset as she tossed a beverage from a glass toward the camera. Fans were very excited about Jessica's inclusion in the clip as many flocked to X (formally Twitter) to react to the cameo. One fan wrote: 'And Jessica Simpson?? Whoah. Disney+ isn't holding back anymore [clapping emoji]' Another said: 'That random flash of Jessica Simpson?!? This looks so ridiculous (complimentary)' The 44-year-old made a surprise appearance in the two minute trailer for the upcoming series which comes from an interesting time as she is in the middle of a separation from husband of a decade Eric Johnson; the estranged couple is seen in May 2014 Many others were in disbelief that Jessica was involved in the project while others patted themselves on the back for noticing. One hilariously posted: 'How gay do you have to be to notice Jessica Simpson in this trailer? Because I'm whatever that level is.' Lastly, another said: 'I love to see Jessica Simpson returning to acting. She's an underrated actress.' In the new project, reality star Kim Kardashian, 44, takes on her first leading role as a ruthless divorce lawyer in the new Ryan Murphy drama - and landed top billing over Oscar nominees Glenn Close and Naomi Watts, as well as established stars Niecy Nash, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor. All's Fair follows a team of high-powered female attorneys who leave their firm to start their own company - with American Horror Story: Delicate star Kardashian taking on the role of Allura Grant. It's reportedly partly inspired by Kardashian's actual lawyer, Laura Wasser, who represented her in divorce proceedings with Kanye West and Kris Humphries. All's Fair will begin streaming on Hulu in the fall. Speaking of divorce, Jessica is in the middle of a separation from former former NFL star Eric Johnson, 45, as were spotted together in Carlsbad, California, last month. Fans were very excited about Jessica's inclusion in the clip as many flocked to X (formally Twitter ) to react to the cameo They were joined by their three kids, daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, five, and son Ace, 11, and what appeared to be Eric's parents. Simpson announced her separation from Johnson in January, after 10 years of marriage, and in her new single, released last month, the star hinted that he may have cheated. Simpson — who once referred to Eric as her 'sexual shaman' — launched a musical comeback with her savage track Leave, which appears to insinuate Johnson stepped out on her. The lyrics - which involve telling a lover to leave - include: 'What we had was magic/Now you've made it tragic/Giving her what you gave to me/Now the well that you drank from is empty.' 'Your weakness made me lonely/Unholy matrimony/Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?/She's everything but me.' She then sings about the man thinking about the other woman while having sex with her, stating she'd 'rather die than let you be inside me with her on your mind.' Simpson continues: 'I want you to leave/I don't even wanna breathe the air you breathe/ I am stronger on my own/ So hold on/ I'm letting you go/ How'd this even happen/I can just imagine.' 'I wanna know then again I don't/She get you off dressing up in my clothes/Don't say you love me/ Don't even try to touch me.' 'Your weakness made me lonely/Unholy matrimony/Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?' Jessica sang in her new track 'Leave' 'If you were me you'd fall to pieces/I make heartbreak look damn easy.' Last month, Jessica appeared to open up about the moment she confronted Eric just before their marriage officially crumbled. During her surprise performance at Luck Reunion, Simpson recalled how her world 'turned upside down' after she followed a gut feeling to ask 'some very personal questions on the home front.' Now she is a 'very single lady.' A TikToker captured Simpson appearing to recount asking Johnson the 'personal questions' before she performed her new 'heartbreak, pissed-off' track Leave. 'Like I said, I was out in Nashville and I had my heart wide open, I was in a very intuitive state and I had asked some very personal questions on the home front and I found out that my world had been turned upside down and that life was now very different.' 'I'm a very single lady,' she added, drawing cheers. 'You know, when we open our hearts, sometimes we're vulnerable and it just gets broken and maybe sometimes we forget that we've been broken for a really long time.' In November, she also appeared to throw shade at someone close to her, stating her musical comeback 'is personal' and that 'it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve'; Jessica and Eric seen in 2015 Jessica's latest EP, Nashville Canyon Part 1, was released on March 21. Last month Jessica also marked daughter Birdie's sixth birthday without Eric, sharing a number of photos from the celebration to her Instagram. In January, Simpson announced that she and Eric 'have been living separately' and are 'navigating a painful situation' in their marriage. She added that the estranged pair are 'focusing on what is best' for their three children and 'appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family' in a statement. Simpson and Johnson said 'I do' back in 2014, after four years of dating. The estranged pair first met through a mutual friend in 2010. They got engaged that November, after six months of dating. The star was last pictured wearing her wedding ring in 2023. Aside from their latest outing, the couple hasn't been spotted together since Birdie's kindergarten graduation back in June 7, and Jessica's Instagram has been conspicuously Eric-free since their Easter celebration on April 9. Jessica fueled the chatter with a cryptic social media post on November 11 that appeared to throw shade at someone close to her. 'Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,' began the singer in her caption. 'This comeback is personal, it's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.' Her quote raised eyebrows as followers tried to guess who made her put up with 'everything I did not deserve.' In March, the singer also had some flirty exchanges with actor Jeremy Renner on social media, over a decade after they were first rumored to be dating. Reigniting romance rumors, Jessica left comments for the Oscar-nominated actor, 54, after viewing his thirst traps on Instagram. After watching a shirtless reel of him, Jessica commented with the fire emoji and the Avengers star hearted her reaction. Back in March 2010, Simpson and Renner were rumored to be dating after they were spotted together at a party for his action-thriller The Hurt Locker. At the time, it was reported that they exchanged numbers before going their separate ways. Simpson was previously married to 98 Degrees boyband singer Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006. Their relationship was documented in the reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which ran from 2003 to 2005, giving fans a peek into their lives.
